Sound advice. I will experiment with a few other blu rays and report back. My axiom m80's will be arriving in the next week or two and will be replacing my cerwin vega d8's. Hopefully I can iron this all out

Even more puzzling. If the problem is decoding the DD or DTS from the Blu-rays in the 5007, set the PS3 to decode them and output PCM rather than the original bitstream(the listening mode would then be multi-channel in, rather than DD or DTS). You sa

Its possible. I installed an amp using the same reciever and all 4 channels were out of phase. YPAO confirmed over and over. It didn't sound right. I knew it wasn't the(my) wiring so I swapped pos/neg at two of four speakers and walla.YPAO confirmed.

Personally, I'd spend the small amount of extra money and get the QS8's due to their lower bass extension.

I've had QS4s on my wish list for a while now, to complement my M50s. 20% off may just force my hand.

Yes, using pre outs. Using the same power amp that I was using with the yammy(rotel rmb 1095). Im ocd with wiring, re checking dozens of times along the way, plus, i've double checked tge wiring the other day. And setup was a breeze since all I ha

Are you using pre outs? There's a slim chance something is wired incorrectly internally and they are out of phase. My second guess would be that they are already blown.

Ok thanks. When I get home, I will be switching the speakers around. I havent haf much time to really play with it lately. I tried watching the dark knight rises last night on blu ray and came close to turning it off. So many scenes sounded horre

One other thing. I bought a new hair brush thingie-ma-bob, do-hinkie, thingie, from Walmart called SHEDMONSTER. This thing really works. It's designed to remove the loose inner layer of cat fur. I never seen so much hair come off that cat. She seems

That was strange. My power went out in a storm for several hours, so I decided to make use of the battery backup unit I bought for the home theater, and run my fan off of it for a while. I ran it for about 20 minutes until I noticed it was cool enou

Okay, so my "first thought" about playing them too loud isn't it, and there's "gross distortion" even when they're reduced to a lower level. Another thought is to switch your main speakers(no problem now?)to the surround channels
