  1. AV Home Theater
    Hi all, Apologies in advance as I'm really new at this stuff, but I'm thankful for your help. A year ago I purchased Kef LS50 speakers and a Yamaha RX-A1070 receiver for my home theater. I also later purchased a SVS SB-2000 sub. I've been noticing when I watch TV, that when a character is...
  2. Home Audio Subwoofers
    I got a great deal on a Miller and Kreisel V-125 sub, with a Klipsch driver. With everything hooked up correctly, it has no sound. When I try to adjust the volume on the sub, it gets very loud and squeaks just like a mouse! So when I grab the volume knob and try moving it from side to side (not...
  3. Home Theater Design and Construction
    Long time listener, first time caller, so please be gentle. We're in the process of a full home remodel, and I'm working on a dual-use room that will be both a Home Office and a Home Theater. I know this makes it an odd space, but I work full time from home and it's my only option to have a room...

    Hi, I just introduced myself with my first two posts in the presentation thread. Excuse me for my English as a translator. I need to ask you: my Yamaha rx-A730 starts up well, but it takes 15 minutes for the icons of the speakers to appear on the display and for the speakers to be heard, it has...

    I just bought a Vizio smart tv to replace a tv hooked up to older Onkyo receiver with surround sound speakers. After hooking up all the cables into Vizio, I have no sound coming out of surround speakers. What did I miss? I had optical cable from receiver hooked up to DVD player previously...

  8. Home Theater Receivers | Processors | Amps
    First of all, I am a newbie in AVS. I know very little about amp selection. The HT-E5550WK Samsung Bluray disc player of my theater system has stopped working. Since I don't watch movies from disc anymore (I watch from a TV box nowadays), I would prefer to get a new amps with HDMI in/output...

  11. HDTV | Video Displays | Processors
    I have been working on this TV for my sister and brother inlaw. It wouldn't power on but I fixed that by replacing a couple of capacitors on the power board - Philips 2300KEG033A/F. That fixed the power problem however there is no sound. Checking board I found there is neither of the 12v+ or...

    Hello, I'm thinking of using an old laptop (Dell X1 2005 - runing XP) to run REW. It has a Sigma Tel C-Major integrated sound card, is that good enough for REW? Very simple card, only has a mic in and a headphone connections. I'm thinking of also buying the Behringer ECM8000 to use with it -...

  16. Home Audio Acoustics
    Hi, dear experts! Recently I've began to pay attention to physiology of human reactions (especially children) at playing by HT musics (video concerts). It seems to me this is a very interesting theme of observing and thinking. SPLs were no louder than 110 dBA (of course). I've used different...
  17. Home Audio Acoustics
    Hi How is the sound reflection or absorbation function of water in a large plastic can? How would a 25 litre plastic can stand against say a normal bas trap? Is the question just stupid (as I don't can find anything about the topic..) ? Don't ask how I got the idea.... :-) / OpZ
  18. DIY Speakers
    I have an older subwoofer, Mirage PS-10. Driver is blown (I've tested it. It is.) If I find a newer driver that will match the enclosure (it is sealed not ported and no I don't know what to put in it), will it sound less boomy with a newer driver? It is what it is? Just an old boomy sub...
