bchild311 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 A friend of mine has a pair of RF-5's in his HT setup. My brother has my old KLF-30's in his HT setup. One thing we noticed was that the woofers in the RF-5's and the Legends were both hitting out of sync with the music. We are all running Denon 3803's (except myself, I have the 3802) and we have had the LFE setting running to the fronts as well as the sub, using the LFE+Mains setting in the setup. Maybe this is cancelling some of the bass from music as the dvd player is interpreting the signal? Anyone had anything like this happen with their setup? I have not noticed my RF-7's doing anything like this as of yet. And we've checked the obvious: cross-over settings, making sure they're correctly wired, etc... Thoughts?

dougdrake Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Hmmm, seems your speakers have adopted the rhythm-challenged persona that is often found in many people, who can't just quite get it right, or clap on the downbeat. Are they possibly wired out of phase internally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 out of sync with the music... but compared to what? another speaker I suppose. Check the wiring again to make sure they are in phase. try another amp even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Are your woofers white? That would explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Can you explain what you mean by "out of sync with the music"? Are you watching a music video? The question is, how can you tell? I have seen some releases where the dvd or vhs tape had the audio out of sync with the video. Can't believe they git past quality control that way.

DLUngurait Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Although not enough info here...Could you be hearing the difference between the rather "Fast" sounding bass of your RF-7's smaller woofers versus the comparatively "Slower" bass of the 15" woofer in your sub (NOT dissing the RSW-15)?

b-man1 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 could be the speaker config setting (distance) in the denon's setup menu. i had a similar problem with my sub sounds WAY off...and found that my distance was set incorrectly in the setup.

bchild311 Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 OK everyone, thanks for the replies. Like I said, I've never experienced the problem, but have seen it happen at my brothers place with his setup. 1- The amp is brand new and is configured accurately : speaker settings distance settings, all that is correct. 2- The speakers are fairly new in both instances, my brothers are a few years old, but my friends RF-5's are only a few months old. So unless the boys at the factory at Klipsch pulled a fast one and did a wiring joke, I can't think of why else this crap is happening. To elaborate on what really goes on, when listening to regular cd's in Stereo mode the kick drum hits but the woofers aren't reacting in tune with the drum. So, who knows. I was wondering if this was a common found thing, but it's starting to sound like maybe my brother and his friend are dropping acid before they listen to music or something. I'll let you know if we figure out what the freakin deal is ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMcGoo Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Many video processors slow down the video, hence a good receiver should have a delay adjustment for the sound. The part of the processor that causes the delay is usally the deinterlacer also known as a line doubler. Before you suspect the speakers, see if dialog is out of sync as well.

marksdad Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 yup i think mr mcgoo has hit the nail on the head, it sounds like a time delay problem, or maybe bad acid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
