    Tower Speaker on a $1000-$1200 budget

    I have an SVS sub (PB12 Plus) as well as SCS-01's for my fronts, center, and surrounds; this setup sounds great. If you have any questions regarding their products, I would email them or call and ask for Mason.

    Crackling from speakers.....

    Thanks for the reply Ed I'm going to go through the channels and see if it happens on all or just some, and I'm going to check all of speaker connections just to double check there are no issues there either

    Crackling from speakers.....

    Hi all, I have the SVS 5.1 setup with 5 scs-01's and a PB12 Plus woofer. I noticed a slight crackle coming from the rear speakers. I've never noticed it on movies or games, I noticed it on some of the channels on cable. Is it possible it's just bad sound on that particular channel or could it...

    Onkyo 706 Setup menus...

    My PS3 is connected via HDMI. I didn't realize that PLII was simulated surround. When I'm watching cable, the sounds comes in as Dolby Digital which now I know is better than the PLII!! I'm away at work now so I will play around with it more when I get back home.

    Onkyo 706 Setup menus...

    Hi Ed, thanks for popping in! My cable is connected with 2 cables running to my receiver actually. One is an optical cable for audio, and on my Shaw cable box there's a video connection on the back of it (can't think of what it's called) but I had to get a special adapter with an HDMI...

    Onkyo 706 Setup menus...

    I'm having trouble having my receiver stay with one audio setting. I want to set it to PLII for movies, games, as well as my cable box. I have a PS3 that I use for DVD/Blu Rays if this helps with anything. Does anyone have any insight?

    I'm getting stands soon enough for both the front and the rears. Where my sub is placed at the moment is where it's going to stay b/c that's really the only spot in the room that has space for it.

    I have sound now Dave. Just not sure what to set everything at. I'm reading in the manual to see what the receiver should be set at as well as the sub

    OK, I went and bought a single RCA cable (there's just one cable). It says right on the package that it's made for subwoofers. I connected one end to the input on the sub, and the other end to the output on the receiver. I don't get any sound from the sub whatsoever while doing the speaker...

    I think the sub should have enough room to breathe. The front is all open, as you can see in the pics. I always thought that the sub was supposed to be either behind the TV (which I don't have room for) or to the side in a corner...

    Here are some pics. Is the sub too close to the wall on each side? It's about 6 inches from the back wall and about 4 from the side wall. Is the left speaker too close to the sub?? Will it interfere with it at all? Thanks for looking!! I think this setup looks fantastic!!

    Just to clarify Jeff, on the back of the sub there are 2 low level inputs (red and white L/R) Does the single RCA cable attach to the red or the white? Or does it matter? I realize these may be fairly simple questions, but I just want to make sure and not have anything mess up!! Thanks again...

    Thank you both for the replies. I do have RCA wires that I used to use with my PS3 until I got the HDMI cables for it. These cables include, 1 white, 1 red, and 1 yellow. Can I just use the yellow cable to connect to the sub?? Even if it isn't gold plated!! haha, it's just the regular silver...

    Well everyone, I have my TV set up (looks amazing!!) I also received my SVS system, well most of it. The shipping company never sent 1 of my speakers for some reason. So, I have only my front 3 connected for now and it sounds quite good. I'm not sure how optimal things are set up b/c I basically...

    I figured that the 706 would do the trick. Since I'm completely new to this I'm just looking for any many opinions as possible and then making my decision from there. It is nice that SVS does give you a chance to hear them though, I've never seen that anywhere before

    I think I will be going with this receiver TX-SR706 for either the 5.1 or 7.1 setup I posted above. Opinions are always welcome

    Hi Dave, Eventhough their subs are good, what are there speakers like? Do you have a set, or do you just have a sub from SVS? This is the setup I was referring to. You'll still have to check out their website to see what I'm talking about. Unless you know the SVS models already!! 5.1...

    This is a setup I just made on the SVS site. For those of you with SVS experience, what do you think?? https://svsound.com/store/index.cfm?...TOKEN=42258934 Is there really that much difference between 5.1 and 7.1 surround? I'll be using this setup for regular tv watching, movies, and gaming.

    I'm just looking at the SVS site and I noticed that the woofer they have with their system is ported. I always thought that an enclosed woofer would be better in a room?? Any input on this at all anyone?? Thanks again!

    I appreciate your input Greg, thanks for stopping in! I never really thought about placement for 7 speakers all that much. I just assumed that 7.1 is the new standard and that everything in the future would be going to 7.1 instead of 5.1. I'm still up in the air over a HT system as you can...

    If I can get it, I'm going to go with the Onkyo 9100 HTIB setup. I've read alot of reviews on it and they're very positive. This is my first one as you all know so, I think this would be the easiest way to get myself started with a good sounding system. I just found this on the Futureshop...

    Hi Lance, thanks for dropping in. I never even thought of that, all of this HT stuff is new to me. How does a person accomplish figuring out crossover points and such, with a "peiced together" setup? The more I think about it, the more I think I should go with the Onkyo 9100 since it is my first...
