Hello folks,
I am a novice to the HT, looking for help and here are the details.
Based on reviews and recommendations I bought the below said items to set up a 5.1 HT:-
Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR605
Center channel Speaker: Infinity Beta C360
Front Speakers: Infinity Beta 20
Surround Speakers: Polk R20
Subwoofer: [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Yamaha YST-SW315[/COLOR]
I also bought 14 gauge RCA speaker wires from Lowes, connected them it to test (Subwoofer was connected using the pre out port using an audio cable). Everything worked fine for a couple of minutes, but when I increased the volume of Subwoofer, I saw smoke coming out of the back panel with electrical burnt smell out of the subwoofer and the subwoofer stopped working. Everything else works fine. Seller has agreed for a refund, but he says it was tested before he shipped it.
1. Now my first question is why the subwoofer failed/burned and did anyone else has this issue?
2. Any recommendations for (other) subwoofers? [below $300]
3. What do you think about the setup?
Thank you.
