Thanks a lot for you input! Greatly appreciated!

There an in wall solution for that?

Hello everyone. I'm adding a new room to my house. Dimensions are about 8'x12'. I'm looking to add in-ceiling speakers for either music playing (from a phone) or for a TV. How will I go about doing this? I have a home theater system and I have experience with building those (getting AVRs...

Oh wow. I completely forgot. I thought I had put in the model number Its the Denon 1611 model. I read through the Manual as well, and saw the pro logic stuff. So I will just connect my MP3 player to it and just switch to PL II mode on the "Surround Mode" selection.

Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate your inputs. I know my receiver has that small/large frequency allotment so I will give that a look. As for the Dolby Digital Pro Logic II, I didn't know my receiver had that. I just checked and it says that it does. How do I access it? Is it just by...

Hello everyone. I was trying to listen to some MP3s, but I noticed that regardless of what surround sound mode my denon receiver was set to, all speakers would still carry just one sound and the subwoofer wouldn't work at all. Everything is fine during movies and what not. Whenever I connect my...

sorry about my delay. I will make a new post on monday evening. I have been a bit busy for the past few weeks,

The satellite speakers are up on the walls, angled correctly, wires are inconspicuously hidden. No drills, or cutting of the walls. Just spent about $10 at home depot to get the proper equipment and an hour of Friday night running the speaker wires. Pictures and a how to upcoming!

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, that sofa is actually pressed up against the wall. I was considering putting the surround speakers as the dolby guide states for movies, and wrapping the wires up and putting the speakers away when not watching. But I figured that would be a bit too much of a...

I'm going to put the speakers in the corners and angle them and point them towards a foot or two in front of the couch. Would that be a bad idea?would the surround speakers in that position not add to the experience at all?

Before I start, I'd like to thank a huge list of people for guiding me here. Although this project might seem small to most, it was a big deal for me, as it was my first time building something like this and well, it was a thousand bucks! I'd like to thank: Jason Charlton- For answering my...

I'm sorry about that. I didn't start those threads at the same time. In each thread, people are offering different opinions so I didn't think the same people would read cross threads so I updated each of them. My intention wasn't to create multiple posts to get quick answers. If there is a way...

Oops. I had that link saved in my clipboard and I pasted that one by mistake. I meant the F-12.

Edit: double post

Hello, I just bought the following speakers: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290206 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290210 and subwoofer: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015A8Y5M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER...

Hello guys. Thanks a lot for input. You've taught me a very important lesson. I spoke to the salesman regarding what you guys were telling me. He has given me the following option: ONKYO TX-NR609 7.2 2 Polk Audio Monitor60 Series II Floorstanding Loudspeaker Polk Audio CS1 Series II...

Well, I'm coming off a 2.1 system that was intended to be used with computers. The Subwoofer was I think a 1". I was hoping this would be a good deal as it will give me a good performance. But for $1000 that includes a pretty awesome receiver with a set of front speakers that have no complaints...

A local electronics store has the following combo on sale for $1000. I'm looking to buy it by tonight. What do you guys say? It contains the following: ONKYO TX-NR609 Klipsch SW-350 Klipsch Reference RF-52 II B Floorstanding Speaker Klipsch Reference RF-52 II B Floorstanding...

I just read some reviews on the onkyo 508 and many of them said that it locked up after a couple of hours of use and they have to constantly replug it. Is there anyway to fix this or is it because the receivers were defective? Also, it looks like Onkyo has horrible customer service. Is there any...

Thank you! I will take that into consideration with this: http://www.amazon.com/BIC-America-F12-475-Watt-Subwoofer/dp/B0015A8Y5M Also, what about that the other components of my setup?

Hello everyone. I'm looking to spend about $1000 for a good system. This is the system I have built. Please let me know where I can improve: Option 1 Onkyo TX-SR508 7.1 $190 (Refurb) Polk Audio Monitor60 Series II Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) $300 Polk Audio PSW Series PSW505...

Thank you, that makes so much more sense! So I will just have to buy the 100 foot roll of wire and just connect the red/black ends to each other between the speakers and the receiver, correct?

Thank you! I should probably ask this question in the speaker area but when connecting the speakers to the receiver, I will obviously need the gauge wire to connect the red and black leads to the receiver. I'm assuming this is to power the speakers. What carries the actual sound? Will I need...

Thanks a lot for your replies! My spending range is around $350 and the 7.2 onkyo looks very promising! But how is A4L? I've read some reviews about them and I feel a bit uncomfortable. How do you guys compare them in reliability? And what are the chances that if I buy the refurbished unit it...

Hello everyone. I'm very new to home theater systems so I would really like your help. I have a 55" Samsung LED TV that I bought a few months ago. Along with that, I've also purchased a Sony Blu-ray. I want to start working on a HT system and for this house its most likely going to be 5.1...

Hello! I'm in the same boat as you, but I have to say, you have an EXCELLENT starting price. You'll be able to get a really nice set up. I'm not too sure about the receiver, as I am looking for one myself, however I can help you out with speakers. For 5.1, there needs to be two front...

How is this receiver? I was at my local Costco and I found this: Sony STRDH520 7.1 Channel 3D AV Receiver for $300 but its on Amazon for about $180 http://www.amazon.com/Sony-STRDH520-Channel-Receiver-Black/dp/B004NHCGJO/ref=lh_ni_t After I buy that, I will then search and buy good...

Thanks guys! I guess I will go building my own speaker set route. Only thing is, after spending all the cash on the TV and BluRay Player, I won't have enough money do spend on anything else for while. Maybe a month or two. And chances are, I will have to buy the home theater system piece by...

Hello, everyone. Just this past Friday, I got a new 55" Samsung LED TV and a Sony BluRay player. I even ordered the three blu-ray disc special edition of Avatar as I haven't seen it in theater (I hope my new system matches up to the theater experience :P). Anyways, I'm missing a Home Theater...
