Hey guys..
Well everything is placed and switched out but have a problem I need addressing..
I originally purchased an Onkyo HTS-760 HTIB last November. Once I got my new Axioms in (M60's,VP150 and QS8's) I went back to my 3 year old Onkyo TX-DS747 5.1 receiver since I was going to sell the HTIB just like I bought it.
Here are the output specs on the older Onkyo:
Front/Center 80 watts/per channel and Surrounds 40 watts/channel
My concern before I bought the Axioms was that the old Onkyo's surround output was not going to be enough to drive the rears. I think I was right.
With the volume at 13db under reference (this is approx. the level I watch a DVD) I am getting a audible "hiss" coming from both of the QS8's during quiet scenes. I can hear it sitting in my normal listening area about 10 feet away.
The Onkyo states on the back a 6 ohm minimum speaker so I don't think that's the problem.
My question is in your opinion is the hiss coming from not having enough power supplied to the rears?
Looks like I may have to get a newer Onkyo unit with more wattage for the rears..
Thanks for any info you can supply regarding this..
Loving my Axioms so far though!
Rick
