I took this advice and as noted before that I didn't like the sound of the sub being on for music. I could be the placement of the sub, the fact that the Klipsch sub isn't very musical or the fact that I still have the receiver set for large. For movies it sounds 100% better. The entire sub...

Lat night I went home and played with my setup for a little and caught myself in a lie. When I use the DIRECT setting it actually does feed the sub a signal. So since the sub was on I turned the crossover frequence to it's highest setting. This caused a lot more information in the upper bass...

Exactlly. How can something like this be so confusing at this point irritating. But then again that is what makes this fun.

With direct mode on my receiver my sub is set for aouto turn on and never turns on cause I don't think it ever sees a signal. I like lots of mid-bass in my music listening and never really liked the way the klipsch sounded when combined with the towers in Large mode now I am begining to...

My Denon has a direct mode also which is how i listen to all my music. This may be why I never really noticed my mistakes in my sub/large set up. When I listen to music the volume is moderate so I never experienced any issues with bottoming out.

Well at this point the large setting seems rather pointless and very unnecessary. I can't believe I have gon on this long using this feature. I am having that same feeling that I got when I bought my first Sony receiver that listed 5.1 on it but didn't make any mention of DD or DTS.

:eek: Slow down guys I can only take in so much this late at night but all the info is great keep it coming and I can't wait for more discussion:emoji_thumbsup:

Gotcha! I only used 60 because I wasn't sure what the selectable points were. I actually have the center set as small so it has been working well. But now that I am here at home in front of the TV and have my manual with me I know now that it is 80, 100, and 120. I have the the mains set at 80Hz...

I haven't changed my set up in quite some time but if I remember correctly I have frequencies for the 5 mains at 60, 80 and 100. So John G. If I set my speakers to large and select say 80hz as the crossover point what is that doing to my towers exactly? I am coming from a car audio background...

I'm sorry I was talking about the cut off freq of the tower speakers. For instance if I set my towers to large and select a cut off freq for the towers at say 60hz. I would then set the sub to somewhere around there. I didn't want to get into the slope because I wan't sure that it would matter...

Check the freq. responce of your receiver and see where it's cut off is and set your sub right around there.

That is a very legitimate concern. Some (maybe most) will disagree with me but IMO rears are not really that much of a concern. I listen to much in stereo and the rears are off. During movies the rears are meant for effects and 75% (give or take) of the material comes from the front and thus...

Too many variables........Are the materials of the speakers the same? Who is listening to the speakers.................... But to answer the question, NO!

Which is why I have to change the settings on the sub when I switch from music to movies. On critical listening music the sub is strictly for support of the towers. Crossed over low and the gain/volume is also low. However on movies the oomph and boomyness (if that is a word) is welcomed. But...

Those are the exact same speakers I am running in my home setup. I absolutely love them. If set up properly they will shine. They have are a very good balance for music as well as movies. I paid about the same as you have listed and would kill to get all that equipment for just $800. I also...

But he is right no matter how he puts it. It would be a very poor design for a 3-way set up to only have one chamber for the mid-range adn mid-bass drivers.

I'm no pro either (by far) but I would think that is would give some depth to the stage. But I could be wrong as I have not listened to the ML in a room set up properly.

Warm and fat would describe it perfectly. I am guessing that the problem with my setup could have been the receiver I was using at the time. It was an early 5.1 model from Sony that didn't allow me to adjust any crossoever points. If I recall correctly I wasn't even able to assing a large or...

I need a bump in the mid-bass region when I listen to music. It sounds like crap for movies but for music that is what I like. So I tend to go with towers, my tower of choice is the Klipsch. I find that the dual 8's support my listening habbits just fine. Before the Klipsh I had a 5.1 using all...

Thanks for all the help guys. Now I just have to figure out if I can afford all the cable that is it going to take to get it done. I am going to spend more on tjust the cables than I would if I bought a nice piece of furniture to put it on.

I just got a 42 panny and mounted it on the wall and it looks great. The problem is that I have some 800 DVD's which I keep 2 different DVD changers from sony, my Denon receiver, the HD tuner from the cable company, the Xbox360, the Wii and soon a PS3. All this equipment is becoming an eyesore...

I purchased a Panasonic 42PX60U from Ultimate Electronics about a week ago and am still waiting for it to come in (I won't even get into that though). I have been researching this set on the net for the last week and am a bit confused. Can anyone tell me if the set displays 1080i or just accepts...

I too am looking at the Westinghouse but have not been able to find any reviews or anyone that has one. I am going shopping this weekend and right now it is a toss up between the walmart exclusive Sanyo 42 inch plasma or the Westinghouse. Opinons?
