    Back into the hobby after a 10+year break... Whats my next move?

    Ill list the equipment I am using and it will probably prove Ive been out of the loop for 10+year. I am using a Onkyo 876 into a SVS 5.1 system with STS-01 Towers and Outlaw LMF1-EX sub. Anyhow The HDMIs on the Onkya are not comparable with the newer hires video. That isn't a huge deal, I only...

    Using an old AVR with new tech components, better video or audio?

    I have setup an old Onkyo 876 for a game/movie room. I am using a ps4, 876, older Apple TV, to a TCL 55” My tv supports HDR but the avr wont pass it through. So it seems I have a choice, 1. PS4 directly to tv to get HDR and TOS link to AVR to pass 2ch optical Or 2. PS4 to AVR via HDMI to...

    Can speakers be under powered?

    I listen to only music. A volume level is hard to describe. I am able to have a conversation, maybe a little louder than normal tv listening? They are repurposed from my HT. Didn't get much use so I ventured into the world of 2ch music. Eventually I will save money to get some full range...

    Can speakers be under powered?

    SVS Sts01 towers. They are 90db and 6ohm. They sound great to me. Just very lacking in the low end department. Just was wondering if it was user error.

    Can speakers be under powered?

    I was moving one of my tower speakers and read the label on the back. I noticed the power range was 75-340watts. I am powering it with 50watts. I am guessing it's not doing any damage, but could I be missing out on detail and bass output at low volume levels? It is in a 2ch set up with a...

    Projector for patio big screen

    Thanks BMXTRIX for all the info. This set up is purely to have some fun outback. That is more thinking than I originally intended I just wanna slap some lipstick on a pig and show a 10 year old a Disney movie. Lol. If I can score a projector for $50-$100 and get a few "events" out of it and...

    Projector for patio big screen

    Panel display is out of the question. To small and ones that are big enough for that wow factor are way to expensive and awkward to handle. It will be used after dark for kids and maybe tv show premiers and occasional movies or sports. It will be a completely temporary setup. I'll prob buy a...

    Projector for patio big screen

    I have no previous experience or knowledge of projectors so I am hopping you guys can help me out. I am looking to set up a screen in my backyard. I'll prob feed it with a Appletv or BDP. For audio I'll use my existing patio speakers. I am sure there are killer deals to be found on...

    If I run my subwoofer with the speaker inputs and turn the sub off does it still filter the signal?

    Why does this sound just as good... ?

    Certainly makes me rethink stressing out over specs and even totally reconsidering getting a dedicated integrated amp for my turntable.

    Why does this sound just as good... ?

    I was experimenting with my 2ch setup. I hooked my little SMSL SA-50 to my turntable and I am amazed! Why does it sound just as good as my Onkyo 876? It definitely runs cooler. [emoji12]

    Beautiful tower with bass output

    Ive been looking at small sealed subs, 8" or 10". Not looking for floor shaking just playback of lower freq. Truthfully I could take the price of the small subs (500-800) and up my tower budget if they would provide the same audio coverage.

    Beautiful tower with bass output

    Thanks guys. I am currently sep up in a bedroom about 15x15, until our car passes away. Lol long story. [emoji12] I like to listen medium loud I would say. Not ear bleeding but I like to hear all the instruments of what I am listing to. Budget is around Phil slims or STs. $2500? I enjoy...

    Beautiful tower with bass output

    Cool thanks for the details. I would say I am considering the RF7, but it certainly looks good IMO. I've been looking at supercharged STs and Philharmonics towers.

    Beautiful tower with bass output

    Hey group I am looking to upgrade my towers and eliminate my sub for my 2ch music setup. I would like to get something beautiful to look at. Seems like the Klipsch RF7 checks all the boxes. For some reason I have a hard time buying "Big corporate" items. I guess they prob do as much R&D as the...
