I listen at pretty loud levels, I wasn't considering switching mine to Large for movies I just did not understand how it could not mess up the speakers when LFE plays

So if the speakers cannot reproduce those frequencies they will do just that, not produce them? It won't cause distortion or anything like that? Those frequencies are just best handled by the sub?

Ok. This is probably a rookie question, however I'am here to learn so here goes. I've read numerous posts about people setting mains to large, I even do it myself occasionally when listening to music. My question is if running mains on large on movies wouldn't the low frequencies damage my speaks? I realize it can rob an AVR of wattage pushing the drivers in the mains unnecessarily, but I have a B&K 200.7 so that should be a moot point right? My RF-7ii's are not rated to go as low as subs so how would it not damage them? Please help me with my confusion, I'm almost positive it's a dumb question but I don't want to be the kid in class not wanting to put his hand up. Thanx Fellas! And or ladies.

Not sure how it will sound in your room, but when I did it in my room the soundstage sounded much wider like Scrappy says and it was probably the move that made the biggest sounding difference to me . Your cherry Rf7ii's look awesome by the way. I accidentally got sent black instead of Cherry and The dealer offered to send cherry or to give me a good discount on the black . The discount coupled with the fact that they were right there in my face and I could set them up that day was too much for me to handle :-) I wish I would've had youthman's patience that dayTwins!
Scrappy,
I did try that with the RF82ii's, and it wasnt good at all. The subs are so wide it put the towers way out there and I am only about 10.5 feet away from each, or to the MLP. When they were outside the subs the distance to the MLP didnt change as much, but they were spread from 8-9 feet apart to like 15. Not sure if the 7ii's are any different though.

Good luck with your sale Scott.

So, Metallica's Through The Never has twice the bit rate if you get the japanese version.
I had to get Tangled in 3D from England.
Had to get Maleficent 3D from Australia.
Same thing is about to play out with Big Hero 6.
If we are the greatest country on earth, why cant we get the good stuff??I
I have cunning stunts and wish I could have it on Blu-ray, I also wish you tube came through at a better rate or at least something more than PCM. There are so many things from YouTube I would like to play i 7.3. I was playing a bunch of metallica videos from their YouTube channel the other day and although it did sound good in PCM it makes me wonder how good it could actually sound

How did it sound? I've never heard one but it's a neat concept.[/quote
I should have worded that differently, I meant I had seen that particular sub before online. My buddy is thinking of getting one for his yard, the Niles that is.

Like THIS?
I seen that one Carl, there is a guy in St. Louis who has a boom tomb for sale, which I'm sure is not as good as the Niles. I've also seen one called the Sub sub.

bookshelves canceled. towers payed for. center will be here today. i will try and get some pics up tonight
When I was reading in your earlier post that there was an option for maybe some towers, I figured they were as good as sold to you! Congratulations! I have never heard them but they sure do look awesome!

timdog come toI'm getting to this thread late in the game, but the sentiment is the same. My prayers and best wishes to you and your family Wake! It's great to hear you are on the mend after such a life altering event. Ps139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. On a lighter note, Youth you did an awesome job capturing Wakes HT and the hospitality of his family. I thought I was going to be perfectly happy with the addition of two more PB 12/2. Your description of Wakes 18s make me wonder what I am missing now. Have a safe trip back
My place and find out what you may or may not be missing
Scrappy that was going through my head because when I was typing that sentence. You have told me more than once to come out west a little further and give yours a listen. I really want to, and have some time off the next couple weeks that it's very tempting however I'm scared that I will like it too much!!

typically when you compress audio or video it is to reduce the file size but by doing so you have to throw away information in order to get the file size smaller so to me anytime use compression there is a loss whether it be audio or video
Yikes! No thanks, I'll leave them set where they are then, thank you everyone!

You definitely want it on stereo and I would go with no compression but that is a personal preference.
What are the advantages or disadvantages of compression, or should I just listen to it all three ways and see what sounds best to me? Had I been missing sound by using compressed audio?

I would think you would want to set it to None and Stereo. Others will chime in
That's what I set them to for the time being, was waiting for someone to respondt to confirm what I thought. Thanks youth

My charter DVR in the advanced audio settings asked if I would want HEAVY,LIGHT or NONE-for compression. Also asks if I want STEREO or MATRIX for stereo output choice. Can anyone tell me which I should have these two settings set to? I had not realized these settings were even in here till tonight. The charter guy had the compression set to LIGHT and the stereo output set to MATRIX. Tried to Google it but not much info out there. Thanks for any replies.

I wouldn't consider myself crazy... I CAN MAKE A BOOGER TALK!! I'm one of the sanest people I know…GARLIC MAKE MY FEET STANK!!It's always good to be able to talk to someone in person who has this hobby we have,
I dunno.....everyone I've met in this hobby or on this forum has been whack-o.
Probably a good thing I've broken every mirror in my house so I don't have to look at a wack-o every morning.

Great find! Happy for you. Clearly your patience paid off.
Thanks, not sure how patient I was though, my wife might have something to say about that.
-
Thanks Carl, I doubt they sound better than that IB But I have to have something to strive forThose are great subs congrats! I had a +2 and loved it. They move a lot of air.
-
Thanks Bill I appreciate itGreat find Timdog.
Congrats,
Bill

I'm fortunate in that area, she really likes the sound unless she's upstairs in our bedroom right above me :-)Nice pickup timdog. Have some fun this weekend trying them out. Don't shell shock the wife with the noise,lol.

Good for you timdog.
Thanks Scott!
Mains set to Large?
in Home Theater

I had a wrong understanding then, I thought when you set a speaker to large the crossover was bypassed. However, my AVR – Yamaha RX A1010 only allows a crossover for all speakers. Not separate crossovers. It was over a grand when I bought it so not a cheapie but not high-end either. Only after getting on this forum did I find out about Audyssey and MCACC. I'll have to do some experimenting this weekend
