Hi, folks,

My ht room is not finished yet, but I couldn't wait. The only things connected are my brand new M22s, and something is not right. My favorite Jewel or Chris Isaak CDs sound terrible. Voices are muffled, the sound overall fades in and out...

I set the Toshiba HD-A1's digital-out to PCM, connected the digital coaxial out to the digital coaxial "CD in" of the Emotiva LMC-1. Connected the analog RCA outs from the LMC-1 to the analog RCA ins of the LPA-1 amplifier. Triple checked the speaker wire at both ends.

I also tried 2-channel white and red analog out from the HD-A1 into the analog CD white and red of the LMC-1 with the same results.

I turned the center, surrounds and backs to "no" and set the mains to "large" in the LMC-1. No subwoofer connected. Even though there was no subwoofer connected, I also set the M22s to "small" and left the crossover at the default of 80.

What am I doing wrong? I know these M22s aren't fed correctly. No speaker can sound that bad.

Thanks a lot,
Rodney
