Thanks... Yes there was some enamel insulation at this soldered ground point. I did fail to carefully strip that off before my solder of this copper negative wire. I may have failed to make a good ground contact because of this. These speakers were bought new just 90 days ago. I called DT tech...

I have a pair of the DT Studio Monitor 55 bookshelf speakers. About a week ago 1 speaker lost sound. The odd thing is that the tweeter is still putting out sound. If this was caused by me turning them up too loud and I blew this speaker out, then what would I see? There is no visible damage...

My Area isn't that huge, but I can't help but think that an actual Amp and power supply provided in high quality integrated Amplifier would no question boost the volume output of these speakers. It just seems logical to me that the Amp and power supply in a high end integrated Amp would be of...

The Yamaha receiver is RX-V863. It's a 7.1 AV Receiver, but I never did use it for Movie surround sound. I am glad that my RX-V863 has a full set of Pre-outs. Gives me option for an integrated amp in the future. It was a mistake buying an AV Receiver when I never was interested in Home theater...

(New Thread on a former old post of mine.) I finally got rid of my Bose 201V set of surround speakers. It wasn't easy to sell them... No one wanted them. Upon the advice of a couple members here and reading reviews from experienced audiophiles, I settled on two of the DT Studio Monitor 55...

Good advice... I don't want to get ahead of myself. I have plastered the internet for hours and even picky Audiophile lovers had not a bad word to say about the Definitive StudioMonitor 55 Bookshelf speakers. Said to be "for the cost of $599 a pair" to be just about the best you can do. I also...

8 Ohms it is then... I just added this Yamaha Sub because my Bose 201's are so void of any clear solid bass and even mid-range thump. I'm actually shocked that the Bose I once knew would even put their name on these Speakers. Even this cheap Yamaha Sub-woofer is marginal at best. It tends to...

It was not long after that last post that I did a few hours of research regarding the tech aspects of passive Bi-amping. Just about everything I found mirrored what your saying. with what your saying and from all I have read, it looks like using the Bi-amp capability of my receiver with the new...

It is the Yamaha RX-V863 7.2 Channel AV Receiver. One correction: This Receivers amp is split at 105w Per channel. According to the Manual in the Bi-Amp section it's pretty easy to set this Receiver to a "Bi-Amp configuration." Then it gives a diagram of how to wire up just 2 front Bi-Amp...

Can you take a look at the link I sent? These are also Definitive Bookshelf speakers, but unlike the ones you linked for me, these speakers have Bi-Amp connection. Given that my Yamaha Receiver can only do 110W per-channel and these speakers have Bi-amp connection and can handle 225W each, could...

I guess I was under the impression that if I added a great center speaker that I could get more sound. My worry is that if I went with just a front left and right, even though those Focal speakers would no doubt sound 10 times better for Music than the 5.1 set up I now have, problem would be...

Exactly the words I was trying to find to describe them... Weak and Dry. I will say that to all my friends (all of which own your generic type pre-box 5.1 RCA all in one kit from the Local WalMart,) My 201V and Polk set up to their ears sounds great, but that's not much of a compliment...

I really like those Focal 806V Speakers. $599 plus free shipping and no tax. Bonus is they also look great. They also sell a nice center speaker which I could add later. I'm not interested in Theater surround sound so Just a pair of good fronts and a center speaker is perfect. I might even find...

Yea, I'm factoring in the sale money from the 5 existing speakers I now have. Sure I could charge card a whole new system, but man I've only been divorced 2 years and I'm so close to being debt free. I'm just done with credit which in reality only equals poverty. I'm living life credit free...

Yea, and for some reason the only 3 Best Buy stores here in Memphis do not sell any of the better brands in which many here have informed me of. We have no Fry's here so I would not know about them. There is an HHgregg in Memphis, but their selection is the same as Best Buy. I'm pretty sure if I...

I apologize for what I know was way too long a delay in replies. I work 65 hours a week therefore haven't had much time. Most here suggested new better quality speakers to start with and my plan is to follow that advice. I will only have $600 to start with for just 2 new bookshelf speakers...

Not fair... Come on guys, I have better things to do than interrupt an Audio forum just to post crap. Like It says on my profile, "I'm trying to learn more." Yes it is true that endlessly reading tech on this subject can give a Novice some basic ideas, but the fact is "at least for me," I learn...

Yes, I', fully aware that speakers do not put out wattage, but rather absorb wattage. What I was saying is that perhaps my receiver is not pushing enough wattage to the Bose speakers. Perhaps I will take your suggestion and sell all 4 Bose speakers and the 1 Polk center speaker. I can put that...

I did forget to mention, the other person that replied is correct... My 7.2 Yamaha Receiver does have a full set of pre-outs. I think many here are correct when they say it's the 4 Bose 201 bookshelf speakers which are my biggest disappointment. As for the larger Polk Audio 145w bookshelf center...

I'm new to the forum and could use some help because I would like to change the Audio path I started about a year ago. Problem is that I've been learning thru trial and error, which has not given me the results I wanted. I went with a 5.1 surround approach which was really stupid given that...
