I bought myself an HT for my birthday about a month ago. I know Ultimate Electronics is bashed on this board, but that's the closest, big selection of Klipsch speakers around.
Here's what I got:
Denon AVR 2105
RC 25
RF 25
RS 25
RW 12
Monster Power accessories and wiring
I have a couple of questions. First off, I have found that in different mediums (TV, DVD, MUSIC), each form has different levels of bass. I am constantly having to adjust the volume for less bass in DVD, more for Music, and in the middle for TV. I called Ultimate, and the salesman didnt seem to think that my receiver had the option of controlling the volume from the receiver, much like a car stereo, controlling the sub output.
Secondly, I have had the Promedia's for about 3 yrs now. I have loved the full sound that came with these. I agree that you have to "adjust" to the sound of Klipsch. I thought I had. I am finding that with the towers, they seem a bit bright. I dont feel that the towers have a lot of midbass. The x-over is set at 60 on the receiver.
My ultimate question is, do you always have to tweak the settings depending on what you are watching, or do you just settle for a certain setting? Not that I want to exchange receivers, in the beginning I was going for a simple easy to understand receiver. This one isnt bad, but are there other "tweakable" ones?
