Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Axioms in Place - Question About Hiss in Surrounds

Chesseroo,

I am glad to hear you don't think it's a power problem. I really can't afford a new receiver right now.
I am at work right now so I can't remember the exact numbers regarding what level adjustment I had to do on the surrounds when calibrating but will check once I get home and report in.

The Onkyo receiver that came with the HTIB setup is listed as 100 watts/channel but states a minimum of 8 ohm speakers so I was was afraid to even try it since the VP150 and QS8's are 6 ohms. I don't really understand the ohm thing enough so I wasn't going to chance it.

I am using 12 gauge wire for all my hookups. Wiring is screwed under the post connections on both ends - no banana plugs yet but am considering it for ease of connecting/disconnecting. The run to the left surround is 30 feet and the run to the right one is 50 feet.

It was late last night when I got everything finally connected and didn't have a lot of time to try other sources or discs. I will do that later tonight.

Thanks guys and will report back tonight with further info..

Rick
