Do you crazy glue them down so they don't blow away?

I'm watching the big brother to my current Yamaha. Once the new cable is anounced its value should drop another hundred or two.

Wow, you are a buzzkill today, Murph. I don't HAVE to have the DAC built-in to the switcher, I just need to perform both of those functions if I want zone2 audio from the Apple TV. Whether I buy a new receiver or not; the ATV doesn't have analog au

Re: HDMI Switcher recommendation by Murph @ 05/21/13 07:52 AM

I think if you want a DAC built in to a HDMI switcher, you are indeed looking at a new receiver. I wish I could remember the model of the Monoprice switcher I tossed. You can probably find my post if you have patience enough with the search engin

We just put them out during a good Nor'Easter. It's important to make them stand backwards to the wind so it blows against the grain.

Spiff, here's a link to an Mpls StarTribune article from this Sunday's paper. I thought of your review as I read it..thought you might be interested. StarTribune

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

interesting. I just got home a couple hours ago from work and I'm still playing with it to make sure I've covered all my bases. I haven't switched speakers around yet. But a few things I've noticed... 1. I've only been able to recreate the bad di

Re: And it starts...(new receiver: marantz sr5007) by brwsaw @ 05/20/13 10:26 PM

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.

Re: Axiom 20% off sale by tomtuttle @ 05/20/13 07:31 PM

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

Re: Axiom 20% off sale by Eno @ 05/20/13 06:57 PM

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

Re: And it starts...(new receiver: marantz sr5007) by Mad_Chesser @ 05/20/13 06:54 PM

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

Re: And it starts...(new receiver: marantz sr5007) by brwsaw @ 05/20/13 05:17 PM

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.

Re: And it starts...(new receiver: marantz sr5007) by Mad_Chesser @ 05/20/13 04:34 PM

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

Re: CatBrat by CatBrat @ 05/20/13 06:53 AM

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
