    8 Ohm receiver and 4 Ohm speakers...

    Thanks for all of the informative posts, everyone... I actually randomly got my speakers early (today), and hooked them up. I used the YPAO (autio setup), and it put the crossover at 200Hz. That seems really high, right?... As I went to manually lower it on the receiver's setup menu, the...

    No problem... ...so, based on the speaker set above, you think I should set the fronts, center, and rears all to "SMALL"?

    Need help from anyone familiar with the Yamaha HTR-5960...

    Hello. I just got this receiver, and I want to make sure I hook it up right. There's a section in the manual (pages 86-88) where it talks about speaker configuration. For each speaker, you can set it as "SMALL" or "LARGE" depending on (according to the manual) if they "reproduce low frequency...

    Suggestion for speaker placement (height, specifically)...

    Hello, everyone. Sorry if this is the wrong forum to place this thread in. I didn't see a specific one for room setup... I have a room about 14'x14' with like 8' or 9' ceilings, probably, and I just got a new receiver and set of speakers (fronts, rears, center, and sub)... I was...

    8 Ohm receiver and 4 Ohm speakers...

    I'm more concerned with the RECEIVER getting messed up, as opposed to the speakers. If the speakers got messed up, it's not a huge deal. But I'd be pretty upset it the receiver blew... ...so, which item would break? The receiver or the speakers? Thanks, everyone for the input!

    8 Ohm receiver and 4 Ohm speakers...

    I bought this receiver: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=200502&CTID=5000400&ATRID=1020&DETYP=ATTRIBUTE&CNTYP=PRODUCT The Yamaha HTR-5960 So, I'm kind of not getting many of the responses. Are you saying that I should be okay, and (if anything) the receiver...

    8 Ohm receiver and 4 Ohm speakers...

    I am replacing my audio system. I currently have a really crappy out-of-the-box dvd/receiver/5-piece-speaker set from Panasonic that's 4 ohms. All the new stuff I bought is 8 ohm. Here's my problem... ...the new receiver arrives in the mail tomorrow. The speakers are backordered and...

    Newbie here - HDMI & HTR-5960 question...

    Thanks, JC! - one other question regarding that receiver... Regarding this product spec page: HTR-5960 Specs I see that it does not have THX Processing. What is that, and is that something to be concerned with?... Also, is this a relatively easy hookup? Thanks for all the help!!!...

    7.1 speaker set-up suggestion?...

    If I wanted a decent 5.1 system, then, could I (at a later time) add on the two satellite speakers to make it 7.1? Or would that mess things up? Would I need to make sure that the two added speakers were from the same manufacturer as the original 5 that I bought?... Am I better off going...

    7.1 speaker set-up suggestion?...

    Hello, all - I am new getting into the world of home theater. I'm setting up a room about 14'x14' or so - nothing too big... Any suggestions for an 8-piece speaker set that would be decent and that I can get for in the $400-500 range? Is that even feesible? Obviously (based on that budget)...

    Newbie here - HDMI & HTR-5960 question...

    Hi, all - sorry if this question is simplistic to answer, but I'm kinda new at this stuff... I've been looking around online for a decent, yet affordable, sound system. I wanted a 7.1 system. I have a PS3 and HD cable reciever that I want to hook up through it. I am more interested in...
