Welcome to the forum, Mike! I had a chance to try out that Onkyo. One of the better options in that price class, IMO, especially if you like Odyssey.

Which sub did you get, and are you getting surround speakers?

 

[Mike Mizerk]

Haven't gotten sub yet. Got deal on the klipsch 675 for the pair I'm going to be adding two rear and sub just the stores subs didn't work and I'm one to hear before I buy....usually

keep it all klipsch ref and get a pair of these, on sale for $299 until midnight , thats as cheep as they get... Klipsch Reference RW-12d 12" Powered Subwoofer Each w/ New box - Newegg.com for a $1000 sub not too shabby, and having two will be hard to beat for $600.... thats 700watts which having two subs equals like 2400 watt single sub, or something like that lol, I could never figure that out, 2-200 watt subs at 1/4 power equals 1 400 watt sub at full power??? But anyway, that would be shweet...

You can get anything for surrounds, I have heard systems with $40 bookshelfs for surrounds and never noticed a difference compared to my 200se's or my buddies system with his sinfire bipoles... heres some innexpensive klipsch surrounds... http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLIPSCH-SYNERGY-S-10-2-WAY-HOME-THEATER-SURROUND-SPEAKERS-PAIR-NEW-BLACK-/300928189024?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item4610b7c260

You think two are necessary?

You think two are necessary?

No but it would be AWESOME!!!! My father in law has the same sub and it is pleanty for a decent size room, but at that price why not? Im not sure what you sub budget is, but in all seriousness 1 is good enough for a medium/large room... That is the lowest I have seen the price go, they go for more than that one Ebay used!!! Ends soon though, so I would jump on it..

I didnt notice they are also blowing out the s10 surrounds http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882780033

 

[Mike Mizerk]

Well the receiver supports two ha...sucks I need to decide tonight....What I have is prob to big for my living room but can't help it

 

[ImcLoud]

Go for 2, why not? you live once, justify it this way, I know a guy that bought one of them subs for $899 about a year ago, for what he paid you could get 3!!! By the way he has the same front end as you, except he has a rc62ii center...

 

[Mike Mizerk]

I couldnt justify spending an extra 150 to get the 62ii

 

[Mike Mizerk]

The fact my neighbors house 15 20 feet from mine...guess it will outplay there Mexican music

lol,

I never heard them next to each other so couldn't tell you if the extra cost of the 62 is worth it or not, I'm not a fan of horn tweeters in general, so I never got into the klipsch stuff as much as a lot of other people. It is nice efficient stuff, and if you like your highs forward and sharp they are a good option, I am a little sensitive when it comes to top end and get fatigued fast, so I tend to pick speakers with silk/ fabric/ soft dome tweeters... although I have heard metal and horns that defy this most of them were not budget friendly...

 

[Mike Mizerk]

Well went for the rw12d so now just need to grab rear speakers

 

[ImcLoud]

good job you will like that sub, should have bought them s10s from newegg they were on sale too... what are you looking for in a surround? budget?

 

[Mike Mizerk]

Finally got around to hooking them up. I decided to do bi amping. I dont have subs they.come.later today. I am disappointed they do not put out much. Am I being stupid right now and just over looking something?

 

[ImcLoud]

You must be over lokoing something because them klipsch are very sensitive and should play loud with very little power, did you go through the setup procedure for the avr? I would try wiring them regular...

 

[Mike Mizerk]

Bridge them or run two wires to avr

 

[Mike Mizerk]

Well when I play music with app on avr it sounds great but direct tv thru hdmi.sounds like ****

 

[ImcLoud]

Thats the settings, go through and set it all up by ear, do you have a db meter? can you post some pics of the situation..

 

[Mike Mizerk]

Yes I'll post some tonight, I think I got it better but music is great tv is ok. Also is it possible to say play xbox for video but say stream music thru bluetooth or avr app?

 

[Mike Mizerk]

Well here is back of receiver subs will be here tomorrow.
