Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners I blew it...

Direct wire works. I guess this is done as parallel connections? I have the nice Axiom banana plug so it is easy to cross-connect.

yes.

What fun! What fun! Thanks.
I'll finish calibrating later...
I had all the appartment clean! Now it's a mess...

Me again!

When I get a functional A1400 back, would I be able to use the front's from the receiver for the sub or would it be best to use the A1400? Until I get an Integra, of course! Or that I figure out what's wrong with the sub pre-out.

Sure just connect the receiver preouts to the A-1400-A. Then run from the amp to the sub as you now have it temporarily set up. I would watch the volume for now with that hook up because you are presenting a much bigger load to that smaller receiver/amp and you never know what else may have been damaged in the receiver. I've been there in a similar mishap with my Sansui so I feel the pain.

I'm watching the volume also because of my 2 VP150 are in parallel. BTW, dual centre (above and under) sound really good. It took at least two minutes moving them back and forth until they sort of became "in sync" (they sounded a bit "weird" at first). Now it's perfect. Musicians are now in the same "axis" as me and it feels a bit more "natural".

Yet another corroboration of dual centres. The list is getting long. I'm going to have to get over my hangup with lobing as per the acoustical theory and just go for it.

If I could have one VP150 placed right in the middle, I'd prefer one myself. I would love having those projector screen that let sound passthough and have an M80 behind it!

Yes that is the way to go for audio presentation but those perforated screens give up too much image quality. I'm currently using a Vutec Silverstar screen with a JVC RS1 projector and a ND2 filter over the lense, HDMI inputs are through a Toshiba HDDVD XA2. No way I'm using a perforated screen. My centre is below the screen firing up to the seats and sounds great on and just off axis. However, I occasionally notice the dialogue not anchored in the middle of the screen.

For those of you who would like an update. The baby has just left with Purolator to go back to Ontario for repairs. Hopefully, it won't be long and I'll be able to re-enjoy it soon!
