Thanks to all! I think these working properly and they are great. I'm addicted. I'm already planning my office system when i renovate the home. But MAN!!! this is not a cheap addiction. Thanks to all for your help david

Thanks! I will try this. The speakers are about 5 inches from the wall, so there is good space. I'm wondering if I'm mistaken by my worry of the muffled woofer on the bookshelf. If ya'll move your ears from the tweeter to the woofers can you explain what you hear? I might just be such an ignorant noob I might not know this is how the speaker works. thank ya'll again! David.

Hi Folks, All the darn pictures i took were over 2 mb. Grrrr. this is the only one that'll go through, but I hope it'll give you an idea. Excuse the mess. We just moved in I think I want to try ya'lls advice earlier and move them far apart. Hopefully to the wall corner on tables similar to the white side table shown. We listened to the Lord of The Rings last night and since I didn't worry about my knob it turned it to 62 and the sound was great. Now I need to convince my wife to let me buy some surround speakers... David

Folks, The feedback from ya'll has been wonderful! This is forums at its best! I'll take a picture of the set up tomorrow AM when my kids aren't around and I have peace and quiet. Now that I am not worrying about the volume number or hurting my speakers, i brought it up to 60 and the sound was pretty amazing. This being my first visit into quality sound speakers...it feels like the sound isn't so much as LOUD as it is the perfect volume right near my ear. Like I can hear the tiniest tingle and feel the deep bass. but it isn't cringe worthy "jeez, turn it down a bit." Stupid question and I apologize. Are the woofers for the RP-160's supposed to have a "muffled" sound to them? again, thank you all. I'll set up pics tomorrow AM David

Thanks to all. This Receiver is my first since i was a college kid way back in 1991 (!). And it's just a matter of getting to understand it, I suppose. Question. If I'm not mistaken I can go in the setup and change the db ( I BELIEVE that is the one) and the bookshelves are then turned on and static/white noise comes forth (louder than they are when playing music) from the tweeters and if i bring them (db) to negative, the white noise lowers and if I raise it, it will grow louder. I have them at 0.0 at the moment. is that alright? and Also, I will look around and see how to change the Hz to 80. Thank you all for your time helping me. Greatly appreciated.

Hi and thanks for your time. I'm eyeballing it by saying we are about 15 ft from the speakers which are about 5 ft apart (either side of TV) in a room that's roughly 25 X 12 X 25 roughly. David

Hi All, I'm a complete noob with Sound and am starting off small with a pair of the RP-160's with a R-10SW and an Onkyo TK-RZ810 with other speakers to come. Everything is set up and I did the AccuEq setup and it has set the speakers at 50 hz. But I've got to turn the dial up to 50 to get it at any level that seems audible. I'm not looking to make my ears bleed, but I'm hoping to get rich, deep sound from the bookshelves. The subwoofer is AMAZING (shakes my chest) but the bookshelves just don't seem to fill the room and kind of feel like they are struggling with the tweeters working more than the woofers. (I've neither bi-wired nor bi-amped) I've been trying to educate myself on watts and ohms and hz and it's very daunting, but I'd love any input/thoughts. I appreciate it greatly Cheers David
