I have an awkwardly shaped room and invested in the B&W ASW650. I however am biased, being of the opinion that B&W still make the best speakers for sound quality. I am always more concerned about musical quality and detail. B&W delivers on all counts. The Eagles' "Hell Freezes over" DVD has...

Thank you, mfabien. I feel vindicated. I reset my speakers some time back to "Small" and my SW is doing it's job quite nicely. I just love all the mid-range I'm starting to 'hear'. This weekend, I'm going to play again and reset to 60Hz xover, still with all speakers on small. I had earlier...

Well, aren't we a little piqued? Some of us just buy surround systems, we don't build them or study acoustics in depth. That's why threads like this exist. We're audioholics, not specialists. There may be no LFE on CD. But if your crossover freq sends all LFE below 80 (or whatever your...

Rules are there to be broken. I played a CD on my CD player, with Speakers = L Xover = 80 Hz SW = LFE and there was some LFE to the SW. I then changed all speakers to "S" and noticed the difference in detail (translation: more midrange) from my speakers. And all the LFE went to...

Check the back of your amp - it's possible you've connected the SW incorrectly. :eek:

I've spent the last few weeks testing various cross-over frequencies (80 and 60), with varying speaker settings (front large, rest small, then all small) and been very unhappy with the results. Besides the fact that when the Auto Setup tested my speakers, it set them to "Large. Without all...

I did the auto set up using the mic. I set my speakers to 'small', crossover to 60 Hz, entered the speaker distances, ran the auto setup. It got the distances between the front, centre and surrounds, but was 3 ft out on the SW. Since I know my room is not HT designed and that there could be...

Right at the moment I'm looking for a really sharp set of razor blades, I am so disappointed with Denon. And I'm really p'd off at B&W. I know it happens, but when it happens to you, it's enough to take you over the edge - they forgot to ship the manual, rubber feet and spikes. I'm really...

Denon - Beware the sting in the tail! I've had this player for 9 weeks and it's back at the distributors. First I noticed the playing of randomly programmed CD tracks is faulty. Then the DVD player reset movies after 20 minutes! The latter problem was fixed at the first round of repairs...

What's the reason for setting the sub volume so high? I presume when you say 3/4, you mean 3 o'clock as opposed to 9 o'clock which is the general advice?

Thanks. My SW does have the facility to 'take out' the Low-Pass Filter frequency. I will again go home and try. :rolleyes:

Having invested a fair amount of money in buying the 3805 and coupling it to the 2910, I am losing my patience. If I use the 2910 for audio CD's and program multiple tracks (sometimes sequentially or not, or random), it will either: Play a non-programmed track or Play the last two tracks as...

Hell, no. I realise that output depends on input and that some CDs and DVD's have a higher output level. I'm concerned that I've screwed up some of the settings which have resulted in some pretty huge variances. A 'balance' would be where the variables didn't change from -31 to -8.

The 2910 is connected via co-ax cable to the 3805, plus the speaker outs are connected (co-ax) to the "Ext In" on the 3805.

Before I tell my story, let me just preface this by saying I have read every speaker and SW set-up article on audioholics and then some. I've asked a few guys who are supposedly in the business, but talk about being vague. I have spent most of the weekend setting this up (adding sub-woofer)...

If you've got the cash, why not go for the Denon 3805 AVR and 3910 Uuniversal Player? With the D-Link, you're in for a blast!

Parts Express - they're not worth the punting! Take your business elsewhere Last week I told you guys that I had decided to order sound King cable plus a fresh set of Dayton banana plugs to go with it. From Parts Express. After all, their site states '5 easy steps to complete your web...

I've been struggling with my Denon 2910 and 3805 set up and expressed concern about not 'hearing' the difference of DVD-Audio. A lot of talk on the forum at the moment is that you have to connect via the 6 speaker (analogue) interconnects. But if you listen via this, the sound is muted...

I've listened to DVD-A using this method (6 outs from 2910 to 3805, selecting Ext In) and found the sound to be probably 2/3 the level of a DVD-Video or CD. Is this normal, or am I missing something (and don't tell me a D-Link!)?
