    bass issue

    i actually determined the issue about a month ago and forgot to post it so here it is... as it would turn out the auto mcacc on my receiver was calibrating the distance on my speakers all way wrong due to some funky angles in my theater (old house, odd wall lay out).. so once i defaulted the...

    is it possible

    is it possible for speakers to be too small? i mean could speakers be too weak to handle an a/v receiver? i posted about my speakers sounding like they are trying to blow up... but if they were too "small", wouldn't turning down the volume fix the distortion issue? because it doesn't. so i'm...

    quick hdmi question

    ok i'm hearing there will be differences between hdmi 1.2 and 1.3, such as the receivers with 1.3 will be able to decode the blu-ray and hd audio. however i've also heard that receivers with 1.2 will be fine anyway because the players decode all the audio anyway... is this true? finally...

    ps3 = awesome yet really confusing..

    ok i had an issue before with the sound coming out of my ps3 not being decoded properly by my receiver via the optic connection. instead of 5.1 i was only getting left right and sub, and to top it off half the sound wasn't there at all (ie. the sound effects weren't there from the game, all i...
