Thanks AVRat. Satisfied with your reply!!!

I totally agree with you jcPanny. I'm not being so clear in my words. Forget about surround sound. Suppose I set my receiver to STEREO mode. In order to avoid using the volume knob at its maximum, I rather set left/right channels levels on receiver to +5dB. So I can get the same volume...

Thanks for your post!!! I've used the internal test tone to calibrate the channels when watching movies on 5.1. Since the receiver is not equipped with automatic setup and I don't have an SPL meter, I had to trust in my ears:) I found the best setup for surround is +1.5dB above the center...

Hi there! My receiver (Pioneer VSX-D414) has a feature that allows me to increase or decrease (+10dB/-10dB) the speaker volume by pressing CH SELECT and then using LEVEL +/- on remote control. Default setting is 0dB for all channels (5.1). What if I set this value to +10dB for STEREO...

Hi Sheep, The jamo speakers are overpowering the pioneer sub (8 inch). Thanks for your reply, I agree with you. Jet, I've achieved good results changing the subwoofer from its original place, I also increased its volume. The system sounds better than before. But like you said I'll...

Hi Jet, Before buying the new speakers the sub was integrated with satellite ones, so I believe it sounded louder and deeper. Jamo speakers have more sensitivity and have a good bass too, but it looks they didn't match with the sub. I'm trying a lot of things like increasing the sub...

Hi Jake Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I've checked out everything and it's correct. I guess the sub (8" - 100W) isn't strong enough. Regards.

My system: Receiver Pioneer VSX-D414 (DD / DTS) (6 - 8 ohm) Subwoofer Pioneer 8" (8 ohm) Jamo homecinema 5.0 speakers (6 ohm) Sony DVD The receiver and subwoofer above is part of a Home Theater In A Box. Despite of being satisfied with the system I wanted more. A friend of mine...

Thanks again mtrycrafts, In fact the surround and center wires are 2 x 1.25mm2, while the front ones are shorter and are 2 x 1.50mm2. That means I won't have any problem, correct? Regards.

Thanks Hi there, Mtrycrafts! Your comments really helped me. Yeah, my sub is powered. I've just made a mistake, it's a 8" not 6" as I mentioned in my post. With kind regards.

- I've just purchased a Jamo homecinema 5.0 speaker system and I'd appreciate any suggestion concerning the wire I should use to achieve the best performance. - I've noticed that Jamo speakers are 6 ohm and my sub is 8 ohm. Despite my receiver works with both impedance, should I have any...

Hi There! I'm connecting wires of the same type in my surround and center speakers, which is not happening to my front ones (wire's diameter is different). Am I loosing quality? Regards. [Edit: Please don't double-post. Providing additional info will help you net some better responses. -...

My budget... ... is about $600 - $700. Thanks for your interest in helping me!!! Regards.

I can't find out a review for the SHERWOOD ST5103 SPEAKERS. I have a Pioneer's Home Theater In A Box and I'd like to replace the acoustic system. Please, anyone can tell me your opinion about replacing the original speakers for the Sherwood's one? Or you have another suggestion? My budget...

Hi folks! It's hard to believe but it's true: "Sony accused of using the tactics of virus writers to stop its CDs being illegally copied." Have you noticed that Sony has been made all efforts to make our entertainment becoming a nightmare? Please, just follow the link below to read full...

It should be about compatibility and not storage Hi folks! I can be wrong but Toshiba's HD-DVD players will be able to play our DVD discs, what won't happen with Blu-ray. When the current DVD format was launched, one of its greatest features was the possibility to play our CDs. Tell me if...

Hi guys Thanks a lot for your suggestions. It was really useful. For sure my receiver doesn't have autocalibration! Regards, Humbeto

I own a HTIB from Pioneer. The receiver is a VSX-D414 and I'm pleased with the whole system. My inquire: The remote control gives me the possibility of choosing the level (-10db / +10db) from each of the 5 channels (default is 0db). What's the best setup for the channels? Should I leave...
