yea I know its not that. I did it before and you could hardly hear the speakers.

i use dish network and it has a digital out but my yamaha receiver does not have a optical for the cbl/sat. its a orange digital coax out put. I have other inputs, I guess I could move it to another one? I am using regular yellow/red/white av cables. My dvd is hooked up via digital and my ps2 is like that also? I wonder if thats a difference.? I may be on to something....

\the closest spl meter is my ears. I dont have one but my speakers used to be so loud at -50 and now it takes it to -25-30 on music. I have the receiever is set to large speaker, small center, lef going to the subwoofer, and rear surrounds to small. Do they make external amps that would power the fronts?

I have a set of rc-3 II's for fronts and a ksc-c1 for the center and a ksw-12 for the subwoofer. I have some bi directionnals kenwoods because they were cheap and they were white. My receiver is a yamaha rx-v1000. Its got enought juice to power them. The mains dont sould loud anymore. On movies and dish network I use a sound field. But I always used to turn the effect off which should be 2 channel. This has always been louder than the sound fields. I have not changed anything. Any ideas? I mainly listen to 6 channel because it makes all the speakers the same loudness.

I have the rf 3's from fronts and I am using a older ksc-c1 center. This matched the syngery bookself speakers I used to have. I never upgraded because of the cost of a new reference center. My question now is I fill like I am missing some sound from the center because its not really that loud. I have it hooked up to my 6.1 yamaha rx-v1000. Could I purchase another on of these and run 2 at the same time or would the rc-3 be a better choice. Also will the new reference rc-25 and rc-35 better than the rc-3. I notice they are ported. Thanks ps. if you have a rc center lying around and want to sell it LMK chad_jonirobbins@earthlink.net
