Also, I haven't heard anyone talk about a break-in period for theses speakers. Was wondering if that could contribute to it since these speakers are still very new.
I doubt very much break in has anything to do with it, maybe try a different set of interconnects from the player to receiver. More specifically use the coax connection (if you have one) opposed to the optical, if you are using it that way.

I find calibration far more likely than interconnects or break-in. (mainly because I don't think those make a difference at all--especially not for a digital connection).

Most on this board are not big fans of the break in theory, myself included. I seriously doubt changing interconnects will have any affect on the sound.

More specifically use the coax connection (if you have one) opposed to the optical, if you are using it that way. Ok I don't understand. If both a coax and an optical cable are both digital and simply transferring the exact same data of "1"s and "0"s, (assuming they are not broken) how can one possibly sound different than the other. Does not "01001010" sound the same as "01001010" ?

I was going to say that he has no sub...so he midaswell run them as large for now... Another golden typo? actually the phrase "midas well" is correct grammar. I spelt it wrong to avoid more jokes at my expense...look it up!! its correct! I don't think so. That and worse was correct in the ethnic neighborhood where I grew up . And "its correct" most certainly isn't.

I was just stirring the pot a little and my curiosity got the better of me as well. The interconnect comment stems from Mojo and I's afternoon at General Audio. It was mentioned that the optical cables have an issue with the ends not cut smoothly thus causing the light to not be transferred correctly and I guess a loss of some of the signal. I too doubt it makes adifference but I thought this might be a chance to see if it helps and proved the theory confirmed or busted.

Jason,
I don't believe that gobbledegook for a single minute. I just didn't want to make a scene.

I am always willing to try....... once, could be he does have a poor cable, not necessarily for the reasons brought up. A crack in the fibre optic could cause issues though. I have seen this in some repairs I have had to do on cars.

I didn’t notice if you were only listening to music in stereo and movies in surround. If so you might also try checking the distance settings for your speakers. Along the same line check the channel levels set for your surrounds to make sure they aren’t playing to loud.
