I have a Yamaha htr-5990 and the Athena Point 5 MKII setup. The speaker setup came with four S.5, a C.5 and a AS-P6000 sub. The sub has a lowpass dial on the back that is supposed to be set to the correct athena speaker model number... of course the S.5 is not on the dial.... Anyone have any...

Fair enough.... I was looking for the easy "2.1" setting. Just as long as it can be done! Thanks,

I just bought a Yamaha htr-5990 reciever (don't even have speakers yet). I was reading the manual and I don't see a way to enable just the front mains and a sub for 2.1 when listening to music. It has pure direct mode for just the fronts. Is it even possible to get 2.1? I'm used to the bass I...

Yes, I believe so. Thanks for help, I see what you mean about upgrading. Unfortunately I have a pretty strict budget :( so I need the best bang for the buck. I also don't plan to upgrade any time soon, other than to add more speakers for surround. I'm hearing a lot of praise for the MAs...

Also, What about the pairing of either the Paradigm or the MA with the Yamaha reciever? I've read that certain speaker/amp combos don't match well. As far as I can tell from what I've read, the Paradigm/Yamaha is good, what about the Yamaha with MA?

Interesting. I never saw any reference the Bronze Reference on the MA U.S.A. site but they are on the UK site. I'm in Canada, is the reference series available in North America yet?

Hi all, I just purchased a Yamaha HTR-5990 at a boxing day sale for a great price, now I'm looking for speakers for it. I am going to use them for a lot of music, and later add speakers for surround. Here is what I've narrowed it down to: Polk rti-8, which comes with a free psw10 sub...

I've been shopping around and was pretty close to buying some paradigm monitor 7s or 9s. Then I noticed a really good deal on Polk RTi 10s at future shop. Are these worth looking at or are they a lower end speaker sold at retail stores?

Scott, I've also been thinking about getting a reciever (yamaha) from the states, either by mail, or by driving to get one. It's way cheaper and worth the 2 hour drive, to save $400! But I've been worried about customs and duty charges (although I can't imagine they'd be even close to $400!)...

What about the 1500? From what I can tell it's the same reciever with a little less power. One other question about rs232, I'm curious how this is used to connect to a computer....

I'm a little confused about which yamaha reciever to pick. I thought at first, after reading such good things, I'd get the rx-v2500... but I can get the 2400 for about $500 less, and the rx-v750 for even cheaper than that. I know that there is a difference in the wattage, and a little...
