Ok so I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this digital media. I just had a party this weekend and tried to play youtube through my pc with an hdmi converter box hooked to my integrated amp. My laptop is on its last leg but thats a story for another day. I was wondering if I can...

So I'm looking for a source for whole house audio that can play internet and xm radio as well as play Itunes. I want it to be as comprehnesive and future adaptive as possible since I am new to all this and may discover other interests in the digital music world. I borrowed an 8050 for a while...

So I have Klipsch KLF 20's which are rated at 99db give or take a couple. Many people say all you need with these is a few watts in tube amp and you're going to be happy. I have a 45w Marantz PM6004 which sounds great with these. For rock music it plays them clearly as loud as I want. So if...

So I am in the process of putting together a whole house audio setup and I want to be able to access Pandora and xm radio. I have a main stereo in my living room, a home theater setup in the downstairs den, and I would like to add in ceiling speakers to my bedroom and master bath. I am going to...

So I'm trying to get the best amp to compliment my Klipsch KLF20's. Some of you may love them, some my hate them. I think I like them but they can be a bit harsh in the upper midrange at times. The reason I am reluctant to give up on them and pursue other speakers is that they do a lot of...

Cool, thanks for the advice! Now I can connect my downstairs stereo and run some speakers to the garage and maybe laundry room off zone 2 on it. Thanks, Imcloud. For some reason I tend to favor the hard wired setup too. I think I will go that route. The house won't be too hard to wire. Decent...

So I have been researching some on whole house audio setups. I want to do the simplest cheapest reasonable setup. In a previous home I was happy with speakers in the main bathroom, kitchen, patio and living room. Now my needs are a bit more expansive but not by much. I have recently...

To replce my Klipsch KLF 20's. I've had Klipsch speakers for a long time starting with the rf 3 towers. I have them in my home theater and they are great for that, especially with the audessy eq. A couple of years ago I bought some KLF 20's. For those who aren't familiar with them they have...

Hello everyone, its been a while since I've posted but now I'm back with a new dilemna...lol. I currently have two Onkyo receivers, a tx 609 home theater receiever downstairs and an 8050 stereo reciever upstairs in the main living room. On the 609 I like to use the front HDMI port to plug in...

Or the Onkyo TX 8050. It has internet streaming capabilities if you're into that. It is on accessoriesforless for 219.99 refurbished right now. I have one and I like it a lot. However, from what I hear/read those HK's previously mentioned are really great receivers as well. They seem to...

As far as computer related media goes I'm useless. I had Pandora going for a few weeks untill I shuffled the receivers around and haven't been streaming anything for a few weeks now. Sorry.

Glad you like the Onkyo 360. Did you use the audessy eq? Its good to try even for 2 channel music. I definately noticed an improvement when I used it. Nice to hear back from you. Happy holidays!

I have both the 609 AVR and the 8050 stereo receiver. Both have the music optimizer function which is said to be for MP3 files that are compressed. It is said to add to the higher frequencies. To me quite frankly when I use the music optimizer it just sounds like a mild bass boost, like 1/2...

Did you do the audessy set up on the Onkyo?

Nice choice on the receiver. I don't use the THX on mine nor do I care. I initially purchased my 609 for 2 channel also. The nice thing is if you ever decide you need it for HT you can do so. The USB port of will keep your ipod charged as you play it and you can control the ipod through...

The 609 has bass and treble controls that are actually very easy to use from the remote plus you can turn the EQ that audessy creates on/off. Overall the 609 has more sound mangement and tweaking tools. I leave mine on because it sounds better but I mess with the bass and treble all the time...

That's tough one I recently had your delema. I wnted a receiver to replace my Denon AVR that died and I was drawn in by the internet radio options of the new Onkyos. I debated between these two receivers for a while and ended up with the 609 in the living room for 2 channel listening. I"m...

Wow, thanks for the quick responses! Unfortunately the only speakers that I can audition in my area are the Paradigm monitor line. I will go take listen to the Monitor 7s and 9s tomorrow and report back. I have a pair of Energy Connossuer c-2 bookshelfs I recently picked cheap in the local ad...

I just recently posted a question asking which speakers i should go to from my Klipsch for music however I have heard that some receivers are warmer and match the Klipschs better such as Marantz. I kind of need a receiver anyway since my old Denon is now making a low humming noise and the radio...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and looking for some opinions on what to replace my klipsch rf-3s with. I have owned the Rf-3s for about 11 years now and I both love and hate them. As many of you may know and may agree or disagree, the highs can be too harsh depending on the source. The...
