    Home Theater Settings for Dummies after the Cables are all in place

    To follow up what was said here by DubPlate. I don't have an Onkyo and Sharp combo, (I have Yamaha AVR and Samsung TV) but this happened to me and may apply to you. You have to go into the TV menu and in audio/sound settings change where the audio outputs/speaker settings. My choices were Tv...

    How would you measure/define this space

    Now we have movie soundtracks/scores, 5,6,7.1, atmos, etc.,, etc., to include in our listening tests. It's not just about the music anymore, is it... turn off this, add this, tweak that. If I didn't love doing it so much, I might actually "complain" about it;). How did Little Feat work out for...

    How would you measure/define this space

    I remember all that too but it was pretty much all we could do because we, the colloquial "we", didn't have any money to do anything else. Now, with an extra couple of bucks, we're measuring everything to the nth degree and living or dying by a lot of what the numbers say rather than our ears...

    How would you measure/define this space

    Sure, if you need one. Thanks for the link. I was scared at first as my high school physics was a long time ago but it wrapped up nice near the end. Do you remember how simple this all was? Our biggest worry before putting the stereo on was whether we were going to drink beer or whiskey. Now we...

    How would you measure/define this space

    My family/great room is about 11x20' with a cathedral ceiling (12' high on one end, 8' high on the other). It is open to the dining room on the right side on the one end of the room that has the tv, avr, fronts and center. Moving away from that, the room opens up to the kitchen eating area of...

    center channel sound

    This is an old speaker. The only thing I was able to find out is that Klipsch bought the company back in the day. I have not seen any reference to them by Klipsch. Being aged, I agree with your sentiment about the design and crossover issues. I also agree with the fronts matching the center. It...

    center channel sound

    Thanks for the tips. It makes sense to direct the tweeters to ear level. Noticed you have the same center (Kef R200c) as KenM10759 (replied earlier). Do you agree with his sentiment about the sound quality?

    center channel sound

    Thanks for the reply Ken. I get that the size of the driver isn't the end-all and be-all of making my decision. Sometimes I am amazed at the sound I get from my Samsung headphones (ones that came with the phone), especially when streaming higher bitrate content from some sites. Can't get any...

    center channel sound

    Thanks for the reply, yepimonfire. Not to get into an argument because I sense you know more than I do (please see nickname under my username), everything I have read, and I mean everything including articles on this website, have said that the horizontal MTM suffers from loping and cancelling...

    center channel sound

    Canadian brand that was pretty interesting back in the 1990s, as mentioned. Model is Cinecenter-R. Budget speaker, at best, but did a good job. I did run the YPAO. To be honest with myself, this speaker needs to be replaced. I took the grill off and it only has 2 4" mids and a 1" tweeter in the...

    center channel sound

    Thanks for the response. Most of my set up decisions are dictated by room setup. My center and rears are Sound Dynamics with Altec Lansing fronts. They are from the 1990s!! I don't use a sub. My AVR is a Yamaha rx-v577. The center is below the tv and the tv is on the wall over a shelf unit...

    center channel sound

    Do I need a new center speaker or does the center sound track in the Star Wars Blu-ray (Ep. I to VI) sound that bad? Not to offend anyone or any particular sound engineer(s), but I noticed a normally well-functioning (not great) center sounding pretty awful when watching Star Wars. A second...
