    SVS Customer Service Rocks

    Good idea, unfortunately I tossed it as soon as I identified it as the culprit. I did not want to forget which black power cord was bad and cause any self inflicted turbulence [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SVS Customer Service Rocks

    Unknown, but I think it developed an internal short which caused the Panamax to shutdown that bank of outlets. Was not recently moved, no visible pinch point, not reconnected or anything. I do feel lucky nothing was damaged and the protection feature on a nearly 20 year old piece of kit did...

    SVS Customer Service Rocks

    One of my pair of SVS PC-2000 Pros stopped powering on. I trouble shot and discovered the power cord died. Wrote SVS tech support using their web form to explain situation and ask for help. In less than 12 hrs they wrote back and are sending new cord, no muss, no fuss. Rare to find such...

    Top Gun Maverick - Review by an Old Fighter Pilot

    BLUF: Top Gun Maverick (TGM) is an excellent summer action movie. Highly recommend seeing it. A movie deserving to be seen on as big a screen with as an immersive an audio system as is available. UP-FRONT DISCLAIMERS: 1) We (wife & I) saw it at the Big Mo Drive-In Theater on a very large...

    Sony Dn1080 shutdown on protection intermittently - undersized speakers??

    3.1 might help, less stress on AVR, but does not solve the fundamental impedance mismatch problem. Ensure all speakers are set to Small in AVR menu. Also, try Increasing the bass management x-over frequency to >80Hz in the AVR to help lessen load on AVR. BOL [emoji846] Sent from my SM-G975U...

    Sony Dn1080 shutdown on protection intermittently - undersized speakers??

    First off, visually check for any wiring shorts or issues (doubt this is the problem) If not, I believe problem is that the 1080, an entry level receiver, is NOT rated or able to drive 4 ohm speakers. Especially multiple 4 ohm speakers at louder volumes. Solution is to either replace the AVR...

    "Transparent and Clinical" sounding floor speakers

    Not easy to audition unless you find a current owner to visit, but either the Ascend Tower w/ RAAL tweeter or Philharmonic BMR Tower may fit what you describe. Cheers, XEagleDriver Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Help me pick speaker selector

    Yes, a speaker selector, like the OSD, is the correct product for what you describe. If you choose a different speaker selector, ensure it has an "impedance protection circuit" like the one you listed. Cheers, XEagleDriver Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Sub Active in Pure Direct

    I don't recommend not using the sub. Sub bass, when properly integrated, is better than tower bass in most cases [emoji38]. I was just explaining how to eliminate sub in PD mode, since that seemed to be what you were trying to achieve. My bad. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Sub Active in Pure Direct

    You hit the nail on the head, disconnect the RCA inputs to the sub. The RCA pre-amp outputs are active regardless of Pure Direct or any other selected mode. - From the subs perspective, if it gets a signal, RCA or LFE, it is going to amplify and produce it. Pure Direct will disable the LFE...

    Looking to buy a used sub but the seller has no way of demonstrating if it works.

    Great idea, thanks. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Using second receiver for main speaker

    Having done the same, with a Yammy AVR, in the past . . . I would suggest one change to previous advice; set your "power amp" AVR volume to 0dB (i.e. full power) and let the "pre-amp" AVR control the volume just as it does normally for its own internal amps. Worked like a champ for me. A...

    Looking for some advice.

    Mike, A 150 WPC and 110 WPC AVR are equivalent power wise. To get a noticeable output difference compared to a 150 WPC unit; you either have to go down to ~75 WPC or up to ~300 WPC (i e. halve or double the power) to change acoustic output by 3dB. If the newer AVR has features you would like...

    Can’t decide on new sub/subs

    Here is my vote, dual PC2000 Pro. Superb sound, easy to move, relatively little floorspace . . . whats wrong with this plan [emoji38]? Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Speaker shopping musings...

    Thanks for the rundown and nice write up These days most of us do not have any decent audio store to go to, you are lucky, not to mention a patient wife. - BTW, how much did her IKEA excursion cost you, LOL? Cheers, XEagleDriver Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
