I will be getting the M80's \:\) It's just going to be a little longer than I thought. I have purchased the EP500 and am looking forward to hearing it in action. I will wait until I have the new receiver before I buy the M80's.

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck. If I went ahead and bought the M80's first, it would be just my luck that the receiver did have problems, then I would have a nice set of speakers sitting here collecting dust and me pulling my hair out (what's left anyway).

I will eventually get the things I want, but it will be the long way round.

Glad to hear that you will eventually be getting the M80's, you will not be sorry. I'm loving mine. Congrats on the EP500. I'm sure it is a great sub and will be a great compliment to your M80's when you get them.

Hello GraemeL

I am fairly certain you can achieve HD audio with the Yammy 661 since it passes audio through HDMI?

See I don't understand this pass through bit. Does that mean if I have a movie etc that has HD audio then the Samsung 1500 will decode the audio and pass it directly through the 661? If so then what setting should I use? Is that PCM?

Graeme, a little mix-up in terminology here; the 661 doesn't just "pass through" the audio on the HDMI cable to the TV, it extracts it and amplifies it to drive the separate speakers in the HT setup. Yes, the player will decode the HD audio to PCM form and send it to the 661 as such.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Thanks John, I always thought PCM was not the best setting to have.

It is when you don't have a new amp that decodes the audio from the HDMI.
