Just got a B&K ST-202+ & I have an issue with it. It's supposed to be 2X200 wpc but I have some serious doubts about it. While the innards look intact & worthy(huge caps & torroidal) it is a wimp. I've heard from some on this forum that B&K overstates the power of their amps but this is...

Great speakers..........don't own them(yet) but have heard them. If & when I get rid of my Axioms that may be where I go next..........

I have the Axiom 60's combined with a Yammy 3300.Have a friend who just got a Samsung 50" DLP,B&K AVR-507,& the Axiom 50's with the EP-175 & QS4's. I can 1st tell you that the Axiom 60's sound crystal clear with the Yamaha but lack a bit in the low end.I have since added a 200 watt amp to...

Anybody have one,or ever used one? I can't find specs for it anywhere,including a google search or the B&K website. It's supposed to be 200wpc x 2 (as compared to the 140wpc of the regular ST-202). Curious if anyone has an opinion or idea where I can find the specs. Thanks in advance........

I live north of Seattle & gave up on cbl years ago when Viacom became AT&T(now Comcast).They change the name every few years but nothing else changes.I tried them again a couple years ago but 5 min after the tech left the picture went blank.Called immediately & they said the tech would come back...

The last concert I saw was John Mellancamp at the Gorge in eastern WA.Great outdoor venue.Have seen many shows there.JCM was good & not too loud but it helps being outdoors too.Saw Peter Frampton,REO,& Foreigner there a few years back & it was great. In about a month I'm taking my 16YO...

At the risk of having my reply dissected & analyzed,I wanted to respond once more on this issue.Look,I ain't rich.I love good sound & the effects of DD sound in movies,but,short of winning the lottery,I'll never be able to afford to spend the kind of money asked for some of the gear out...

My point exactly here Polkfan.I don't believe Cosmic is getting what is claimed for power out of his receiver.That will have his speakers underperforming.I'm not here to argue the pt of sonic differences of decent receivers,just to say that this guy could benefit from a better receiver.Doesn't...

Have always loved this song by Rush: The Spirit of Radio Begin the day with a friendly voice, A companion unobtrusive Plays the song that's so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood. Off on your way, hit the open road, There is magic at your fingers For the Spirit...

Having a receiver that claims 5x110wpc but only consumes 190 watts is suspect to me.I read the posts from people here who claim that 100 watts is a 100 watts,that,sonically,there is no difference between receivers.Maybe that's true.Unless the 100wpc isn't really 100wpc,as av_phile has argued in...

Are there tone controls?

Thanks fellas.I'm not real concerned as to the relationship between volume reading & the actual volume produced now as I suspected what you all have confirmed.I'm just used to the linear balance of my yammy,as it is audible @ a -80 reading & gets steadily louder as it is increased with -25 being...

At this pt all we have hooked up is the center & mains.I believe the 50's are 89/93dB. Thanks for the replies.

I'm helping a buddy get into a HT/hifi system & I've got a question.He just bought a B&K AVR-507(good deal @$2500 new) & received his speakers from Axiom(M50s,175,qs4's).He's green so he asked the salesman to program the remote to control everything,so he has the receiver but not the...

No,no,& yes.Did you know that light is actually measurable in frequencies?

I had a Yamaha Rx-V620 receiver(5X100wpc) & it was ok.I would have kept it but I wanted the flexibility of having pre-outs,so I ended up buying a Rx-V3300(6X130wpc) mostly because I got a great deal on it($600).The 1st thing I noticed was the improved quality of sound coming from the same...

The Min. 7's are what I had.Thanks for jogging my memory Joe.Solid,heavy little guys with nice bass,great overall sound.

For those speakers the more power the better.There are reports of people being happy with the Yamaha 2400/100's combo.I would suggest the B&K AV-507.If you drove them with separates before you probably wouldn't be happy with much less.See if you can bring some home to demo.

Perhaps,since the Boses' send sound in all different directions,the auto setup is getting confused.I guess you'll have to do it yourself.

Be aware that not all movies & shows are broadcast in DD,even on the same channel.
