I have the monitor 70's and the CS2 center. You can't go wrong with those especially at that price! I'm powering mine with an Onkyo TX705 and they sound awesome. Just don't skimp on the sub, I have 2 Velodynes but will be getting an SVS soon. I've had Infinity's and Polk is a much better...
Right now I'm have 2 Velodynes and running both of them. I am going to sell those and maybe a couple of Go Video dual VCR's I have and just going to get the 13 Ultra. Maybe I can find one used. I just watched Land Of The Lost and the velo's bottomed out several times when the Dino's were walking...
Ran the Audyssey last night and it sounds awesome. I actually had my sub volumes just below 100%. Guess this was making them a little boomy. Now they are barely over half way. Seems like the bass is much more detailed and clear. Thanks!
Cool, thanks! I did everything pretty much like it said except the subs. I changed the distance on them after every calibration...going to try it again.
Thanks Robert, my Onkyo had audessey but I'm ordering a meter to do it myself. I guess my biggest issue is effects. When I hear glass shattering, shrapnel from explosions etc. I want more effects. I can get these effects from my speakers but I have to turn it up more than I want to. I'd rather...
Hi David, it's not that I'm having a problem with my setup...it's just tat I have no idea how much better it gets. I don't have the luxury of hearing HT's except what I can play with at Best Buy. So I'm trying to learn on here. So, I need to once again upgrade speakers? lol.
Ok, I've heard this before about replacing the speakers. I don't want to put my life savings into speakers but what would you suggest for speakers better than these...that won't break the bank. I only use these for movies. Thanks for your reply!
[b]Ok, I will start with what I have in my HT...
Samsung LN40a550 LCD
Onkyo TXsr705
Polk monitor 70 mains
Polk CS2 center
Polk OWM3 surrounds
Sony BDPs350 bluray
Velodyne VRP1200 and VRP1000 subs
My biggest problem is limited speaker placement. With the wifey I can't have speakers and subs...
