Yes, I know, but that's not my point...I just wanted to look at it. I know the default is 8 ohms, and my speakers are 8 ohms. I just wanted to look at it because I'm enjoying fiddling with my new receiver while I await the arrival of my wife's bookshelves to put my rear speakers on...I just...

Anyone have trouble getting to the speaker ohm setting mode when following the manual? I can't seem to get it to work...thanks!

Got Polk speakers & the cadence is on the way.

Makes sense-thanks!

Sounds cool-thanks!

Sounds cool! What do you mean by Apple Extreme and an express sending cat5-I'm not familiar with that-Can you elaborate? I also found out that the Denon 1912's HDMI Passthrough function is exactly like the Pioneer-it is set up in the HDMI Control area, in other words, HDMI Control has to be set...

Ok, after some more research, I found some posts on AVS forum that mentioned pass-through on the 1121, but it has to be set-up, and HDMI Control has to be on. In the owners manual, pgs. 45-47 it's explained, but I'm not sure I have a complete handle on it...My Panny TV and Panny BD player both...

It sure does...now I'm officially confused...Crutchfield says no...the Pioneer comparison chart between the 1021 and 1121 says no, at least there's no check mark for it on the 1121...maybe I'll call Pioneer tomorrow just to end my misery...

I also thought it strange that the 1121 doesn't have pass-through standby hdmi...why not have it in the "flagship" pioneer model?? Thanks for the good info!

Are the "7 discrete amp. channels" of the Denon better than the Pioneer 1021, or does it have them also? Does it sound better that way? (is it a feature that should affect my decision?) Also, is the Audyssey calibration program better than the Pioneer's? We have lots of Apple products (iPhones...

Well anyway...just a thought...I didn't know I had to "guess" at a manufacturer's speaker specs. I always assume that what they print for specs. ARE the specs. And, I know the Fluances are probably great speakers, all I was saying was that their sensitivity isn't as high as some other "more...

Cool! Thanks! I checked em out, and they look great! I'm thinkin 70s, 40s, and cs2. I can do that for around $670. Awesome.Thanks again!

Ok, I see. Makes sense. Thanks! Also, I noticed on the Pioneer website, when comparing the 1021 to the 1121, that the 1121 doesn't have a check mark next to HDMI Standby Through. Does that mean the 1121 DOESN'T have Pass-Through HDMI? That has to be a mistake...I thought ALL new models had...

Can you elaborate on the "only one crossover setting for all speaker groups set to small?" I'm looking at the 1021 and 1121 and I'm gonna have Polk Monitor 70s up front, and 40s in the rear-thanks to your help finding them! Anyway, I've never set one of these up, so I'm not sure what that means...

Thanks! Love all the good info! Not gonna build, I have enough crap to do around here...Thank you so much for the Polk links!! That is totally awesome! Exactly what I'm lookin for! I don't care if they're not the latest models, cuz they're 10 times better than anything I've ever owned, and...

Still shopping...leaning towards the Cadence CSX12 Mark II sub, which will leave about $600-800 or so for my 5 speakers. Maybe towers up front, don't know yet. Any good suggestions? I want some punch, but my budget is limited... Are the Fluance packages good? Customer reviews are good...anyway...

Thank you! I'll look into it more before buying. I like the fact that Pioneer seems to have a good thing going with Apple, cuz' we have iPhones, and a Macbook, and an iMac etc, etc...so that's cool. I haven't purchased a new receiver in 20 years!! How sad is that??? I've been living with Dolby...

I'm not dead set on anything yet, I do lots of research before buying...my wife says I'm a terrible decision maker...I just happened to check out the MTX website, and this Monitor series actually looks pretty good on paper, for whatever that's worth...the towers (600i) have a sensitivity of...

I'm leaning towards a Pioneer vsx-1121 receiver, & a Cadence sub. So that leaves Me with $600-800 for towers, center, & rear surrounds. Any suggestions welcome! I haven't shopped for speakers for awhile...our music is mainly rock & hard rock, & we love action movies.

Fair enough...it was just an idea...

Are they poor quality?

I'm just looking so far...I've just always had very good results with their car audio. But I suppose that's a different world...

Anyone have one of these? What do you think? They're goin for around $450 now that they're towards the end of their model year or whatever. That seems like a great deal to me! Any comments or good or bad info about this model? Thank you all for your time!

I'm lookin to build a 5.1 system, and my budget is kinda limited to about $1500 or so for a new AV receiver, and speakers. I've always been a fan of MTX products, and always had good luck with them and felt they are a good value, so I'm looking at their Monitor series for my speaker setup. I'm...
