I just set mine by ear. I may try setting with db meter and test tones, but not sure what is needed per fronts, rear or sub. It does sound very nice the way i have it.

I tried the Audyssey function on my Marantz AV amp and did not like it. I'm using CornScala front and r51 rear. After the mic sweep in 8 different positions, it turned the scala's way down and the 51's way up. It did not sound right, so i went back in and adjusted manually. Set Scala's to -0db, 51's to -04db and sub to -0db. Sounds much better there, but i am still tweaking. Sound the sub frequency be set same as it is in the program? On sub i have it at 80hz and in the program setting it is 120.

Who makes a good quality HDMI cable for use with eARC and Bluray? Using Monster brand now, but not sure if these are good enough for 4K. I don't want to be losing any signal.

I'm glad you've gotten it to work. I suspect every TV brand has a slightly different way of doing the set up. Congratulations!
Yes and thanks. Movies on Wi-Fi and variable on acoustics and could be hi or lo on sub bass gain.

When I first bought the Node, I connected it to a Samsung. This time it is to a Sony. In both cases, it was the PCM setting that made it work. It is possible that there were other settings along the way that made a difference, but I don't really think so. Also, from what I've read, the cable is critical. I bought mine on Amazon.

I found the issue with both Av receiver settings and tv settings. In tv settings both pcm and anynet+HDMI need to be on and tv needs to be set for receiver. Also make sure eARC is still on, then on receiver settings turn HDMI controls on. I had mine on AVR and it wouldn’t work like that. I now have tv audio thru speakers, but the sub signal seems weak, not as loud as when watching Blu-ray.

Frustrating, isn't it? Sometimes you can find more complete information on the web than you can in the provided documentation, but even that can be challenging if they don't use the same terminology as the menus on the TV. I hope you find it worthwhile once you get it worked out.
Very much so. It seems like there may be a combination of settings to get it right.

What is CEC? I'm running my TV through my Bluesound Node. I don't have to do anything special for settings on the Node, but had to set my TV to PCM audio output. I'm pretty sure I'm losing some of the audio features available through the TV, but the improvement in hearing dialog is worth it to me.
I set most things to auto on the tv. PCM is also set to auto. I'm getting some garbled audio. I will try again tomorrow.

Ok, should I leave the eARC set in auto?
Went thru HDMI trouble shooting and it says to use a better HDMI cable, i'm using a hi speed Monter HDMI now. PCM on and still no sound. May be easier to just buy a optical cable and be done with it.

I just went through this a couple of hours ago with a new TV. When you say ARC, am I correct in thinking it is actually eARC and that both your TV and receiver have the feature? If so, make sure the audio output on your TV is set to PCM and make sure you are using an HDMI cable that is rated as High Speed.
I just installed a Sony TV and had a hard time finding the proper menu item to set the audio output to PCM. Once I did that, though, everything worked great. The documentation supplied with the TV was absolutely worthless, and the information I found online gave direction using terminology that did not match anything in my TV menus. Such fun.
Once you get it set up it will essentially let you control the volume of your audio system using your TV remote. At least, that's all I've ever been able to do with it.

Can someone explain all the features or uses of ARC? I cannot get audio out of tv to external speakers using 1 HDMI cable hooked between receiver and tv ARC HDMI plug ins. Bluray works perfect. Thanks

I think it would depend on which version CornScala you have-- which mid drivers and tweeters, crossovers are using?
Using B&C DE85 mid driver with DE120 tweet. The DE85 is on a zxpc horn.

Finally found time to do a test run with the Theater system. Currently using my CornScala's as front monitors, no center and Klipsch R51 for rear with the R115 set at 80hz and gain set at the 2 o'clock position. This is a 15x24' room. Using a Marantz 5007 AV receiver we watched one of the Jurassic movies. Have to say sounds pretty good and the sub is a BadAss. Had the receiver output at about 80-85db. I know the sub will be trouble down the road, but i will cross that bridge when i get to it. Fantom center channel was good, but i think a true center would add to this system. What center would keep up with CornScala's thou?

Yes, i do suffer from some hearing loss. I used a Lpad and tried attenuating DE120 in 2 DB settings and could not really tell much different at my listening position, about 12ft back from speakers. So, i just run them wide open. Ok, i understand. I am currently attenuated at 8db on the mids and it does sound nice up to about 95db output, then it starts sounding like too much high end. So maybe 9db would be better. Thanks

I tried an Lpad, didn't like it. The DE120 sounds better without IMO.

Where?What do you think that means?
I will have to reread the report, but the way i took it, they attenuate the mid 5db above the woofer which is a k34e and a k57 mid. I would guess similar to mine at 5db above the woofer. If i attenuate my mid below the woofer the speaker sounds far away. My DE85on specs 108db and 1526 specs 95db. I have the zxpc horn. In your opinion where would you set the attenuation in a CW/CS to start or maybe i should say without hearing them, what is the range you would start? I think 8db is pretty darn close.

I am surprised at that level of difference between the woofer and mid & tweet - 5 db - and that it still sounds good. I had Meniscus Audio create some new 24db/octave xovers for my Chorus II's, years back, and had them voice them progressively 3-4db down at around 15,000hz, from the woofer level at 60hz. Low level listening was good and absolutely sang like Pavoratti at 110+db with little shrillness (I used to have the kids in the neighborhood dancing in the middle of the road when I turned it up).
Sounds great to my ears, but im yet to try them again with different attenuation. Might be the large ZXPC mid horn as it is very laid back compared to a k600 . In the Cornwall test article they say Klipsch attenuated the mids 5db over the k33e sensitivity.

I've had my r112sw for about a month now? been working great so far. I bought the sub knowing I'd likely have to bypass or replace the plate at some point maybe in a year or two? At the price I paid for it I'm fine with that we'll see I guess.
Gonna leave mine unplugged from the wall. Maybe doing that will help it live longer.

I think you would have a bunch of 112 and 115 owners frequenting.

Just watched a vid on youtube. A gentleman with a R115 replaced a couple caps and fixed the amp. Maybe its best not to leave them plugged in?

I received the r51 this week. Unboxed and unbagged them. No paper work of any kind and one speaker was covered in dust and had no rubber feet. They were in a original sealed Klipsch box. The seam to work ok. Purchased off Ebay. Will see
Looked at the receipt, they are direct from Klipsch. Hard to believe they would put dusty speakers without feet in a bag and box it up.

Decware makes one, The Switch Box. It has rca plugs, i assume i could plug speaker leads into them with banana plugs.

I may give it another try, but not right away and i will be sure to use one listening position. Thanks guys
