  1. No I haven't yet, I am just exploring my options, is it hard to find avr with pre outs, I was thinking maybe something with about 125wpc and getting small 2channel amplifier to boost the fronts

  2. You might like what you have once you get it dialed in.

    i will say this I've been tinkering with it for about a month and sense I joined this form things have vastly improved through reading and asking my own questions this group is a huge resource, a lot of knowledge, I've always loved audio but just no time, when I started looking for speakers in the winter I started reading and there's a lot to know but, I'm getting there, things have kind of been on hold because I gutted my house, now it's done but I have to wait for the wires I ordered come in cause I'm using wire that I cut for my old room which this one is twice as big, so once it comes in ill be moving stuff anyway but it sounds 10x better than it did two days ago
  3. Actually, it's not bad at all but I just bought a 50" plasma for my daughter and I am going to give it to her to run my old polk speakers, even built her, her own room just so I can us mine!

  4. I followed the manual when setting up and I will get one of those spl things

    yea, you can't trust your ears. Set the meter at you favorite listening position about ear height with the microphone pointing up then set each speaker volume the same (around 80 db or so)
    ill get one and give it a try, do i do that with all speakers playing
  5. Like I say, I will be getting a new reciever in the very near future, so this will have the room correction, for right now I think this is probly as good as it will get, I been screwing with it for about a month

  6. Htr 3063 Yamaha, I am looking for new reiciever but haven't had Time yet, I calibrated it by just going through all the settings and doing it like that it sounds great when I get reiciever I will be putting rears, everything is hdmi except aux cable for phone

  7. Serious post alert! Probably going to hurt my average.

    You need to consider if you'll be moving or changing your speakers out from time to time. For speakers that are moved frequently or upgraded from time to time, bananas are the way to go. For permanent placement, there's nothing wrong with bare wire. The less connections you have the better off you'll be. Wire ends are for convenience only and add an extra component in the signal path.

    so if I don't plan on moving them much than I shouldn't bother with banana plugs
