No, actually no TV is attached to the system. I'm waiting for a move, wich will occur in the next three months

Using the HDMI, there is a kind of delay when there is a change of track on a CD : the first two seconds are not always playing well.

Done. So whatever the CD player I have, since it passes through the AVR's DAC, it doesn't change anything ?

Actually I output with a RCA stereo cable. All the audio of my BD-Player is coming out in analogue, and the Video part is digital (HDMI).

Hi there, I wonder what should the next step for my audio set up be ? Mainly, I listen to music and have a great CD collection. I own no vinyl for the moment. The media source I use for the moment is a SONY BDS-470 (blu-ray player). Would I get a really better sound with a high-end CD player ? I've been looking for the Emotiva ERC-2... Or should I invest in an amp, like a XPA-3 for the front speakers (including the center) ?

Thanks for the fast answer. I was wondering that because of the heath level of the AVR....

I there. I just received my RC-62 ii (which I paid 399$ for at Accoustic Sound Design !). I wonder if I can put my HK 3600 receiver on it without causing any long term damage to the speaker ? Thanks !

Another question that I have is the weight the RC-62 would support. Could I place my HK 3600 (31.1 lbs) on it without causing any damage to the speaker ?

I bought uni-directionals mainly because I'll use the system also to play SACD/DVD+ music mastered on 5.1. Was that a good move ?

I there. I received last week my two RF-82s, which I plan to use as surround on a 5.1 HT system. I wonder if I should place them on rear or on side of the listening position ? Also, what would be the minimal distance from the listening position ?

Let's specify that for the last month, I was using my RF-82 with two cables directly on the receiver's output going to each of the inputs on the RF-82 (no plugs at all) on both speakers and there was no problem at all.

Hi there, I just installed banana plugs on my RF-82's cable. My cable is Monster, the banana plugs are Monoprice. The way I fit it on my AVR 3600 is simple, since there is only one positive output and one negative output. I used those banana plugs to fit 2 cables (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040115&p_id=2943&seq=1&format=2). At the other end of each cable, I used those plugs so they can fit on separate RF-82's input (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040115&p_id=2801&seq=1&format=2). For the moment, this installation is only on ONE of me RF-82' (the left one), the reason is that I wanted to make sound tests to see if there is a loose of sound using those banana plugs. The right speaker's cables (also 2) are directly on the output - input. When I open my receiver, I can ear the "power" getting on the left speaker (like a sparkle sound, tough there is no real visible sparkle). Then both speaker are working correctly when I play music on them. The fact is that I don't "like" this sound very much. I'm pretty newbee in home audio and I'd like to know if : 1. If I set the other speaker the same way, will the "sparkle" sound will end; 2. Is it completely anormal and dangerous ? Thanks

Thank you for your answer. What I'll probably do is to buy a Emotiva 12 during august and try to look for a RC-64 at a reasonable price in Florida when I'll go there in a month. The fact is that my RF-82s are black and that a black RC-64 seams to be a little bit more expensive than the cherry one (1299$ on the Internet....). Depending on the place I'll have, I'll try to find two more RF-82's to put in surround (since RF-7 are pretty expensive here in Canada). Is the 200 watts per channel on the XPA going to blow off my 150 watts RF-82 ?

All right. Two questions for you guys. First, I would be able to get a SW-112 for 400 $ or to buy a Emotiva 12 Sub on their website for 429 $. The frequency response seems better on the emotiva ( 22Hz-200Hz) for a lower Power Output: 300 watts RMS, 500 watts peak. The Klipsch's frequency response is 26Hz-120Hz ± 3dB, for a power outpout of 300 watts RMS, 600 peak. I'm a newbee so...wich one would be appropriate ? Would I be able ton set my HK 3600 as a preamp (there is 8 preamp output, including the sub) and use a Emotiva XPA-5 as an amp ? I wonder if my HK3600 is enought for my RF-82s and would be enough for RC-64, with 85 watts per channel (about 105 in realty).

Thanks for your answer. Could you tell me if the RC-64 worth the price as a center channel speaker, instead of the 62 ? And, finally, would you go Klipsch as a sub-woofer ?

I presently have two RF-82II that I use as front speakers, mainly in an audio combination. Since I have a HT 7.1 receiver and that I want to use my system 60 % audio (listening to CDs and SA-CDs, 40 % HT, which speaker combination would be OK ? - Tow RB-61 II Two RB-81 II - Two RS-62 (is that true that those bipolar speakers are prohibited in the listening of SACDs ?) - Two other RF-82, if I have enough place (which is not the case for the moment, since the place needed would be around 9 feet from the listening position). And would the RC-62 would be enough as center speaker ?

Hi everyone here, This is my fort post on this forum. I'd like to precise I'm french Canadian so there might be some mistakes in the way I express myself.... I apologize for that. I just made the acquisition of two RF-82 and a HK receiver (3600), wich is 85 watts per canal. I use it for the moment only in stereo, but I plan to add some speakers to it in the future so it'll become 5.1 HT and 2 speakers in a Zone 2. For the moment I use a Sony BDP-S470 Blue-Ray disc player as CD source and it's ok, but I'd like to have your opinion about a right CD player that would enhance the musical experience I have on my system. My budget is about 500 $ and I can also buy in the US. I saw the Harman Kardon HD 990, but since I don't know that much in the audio world, I'd like to have the forum opinion. Thanks !
