bubulsony Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I bought a brand new Rf 52 floor stander last year. I was pretty happy with it. Recently i added a new Playstation 3 to my set up. I already had a ONKYO 605 receiver. Now I am not very happy with the music quality while playing CDs. Movies are fine. While playing CDs the high sounds sound a bit crackling at high volumes, I am not sure. Is there something wrong with my main speakers?? Please advice. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 If you haven't already, try connecting a digital optical cable to the 605 and assign it to cd on the Onkyo. I listen to most of my cd's with an optical connected to my 705 and use the HDMI for watching movies when using my HD-DVD player. Never skips,pauses, and generally sounds better to me. Also bipasses the TV all together. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhenry Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I would consider the source (CD player) as the problem before considering the speakers as the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Are you using your PS3 as a CD player? How do you have everything hooked up? HDMI, Optical digital, RCA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehinton Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hey, I have a YamahaRX-V661, I have never heard my RF - 52 crack pop or anything......I have only pushed them extremely one time, and even then Never a crackle, the amp went into overload protection mode before the speakers gave out. Keeping that in mind.....I never have to turn my speakers up past -30 db to get a loud volume. I am more than satisfied with their sound quality. People say that they have no bass, but I think that is beacause of there amp (may be a cheap 200 amp/receiver). These things pound loud and clear without any distortion.....I don't even have to use my sub because they handle almost every low note possible. I know I am speaking highly informal but I am not writing and disertation :-)... and when you say loud volumes, that sounds to me like your receiver is clipping, with can and will burn out the tweeter/horn. Could be eq issue, power issue, amp issue, but I highly doubt your speaker is bad. Xbox360 (optical) PHillips dvd player (digital COAX) rf-52 mains rb-10 rears Rc- 52 center RSW-10 for the sub.
