Little bit of an update. The Energy speaker model numbers I posted above were quite wrong. I had been given the wrong manuals, so here are the actual model numbers for the Energy Speakers (which are going to be used on the new amplifier): XL-250...

No. I currently have an amplifier (the Yamaha RX-V350). It's currently my 5.1 sound system with Paradigm speakers. I'm going to be getting another 5.1 set of speakers. I wish to turn these two 5.1 speaker sets into a single 7.2 setup and a 2.0 setup (separately), with a leftover speaker (the...

My father's amplifier (an oldish 5.1 Onkyo) just broke (after many years of living next to the coast). His 5.1 Energy speakers set is *much* nicer (I think it's a set of CF-70's, CB-20's, CC-10 + some ~250W active sub - I've put the links right at the bottom). I currently have a Yamaha RX-350...

Moved this to correct sub-forum soz. http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,15740.0.html

Not via any other input signal than VGA [where, as I said above, I've played 1920x1080 @ 60hz]. The TV specifications say it can play 1080p.

Thanks for the offer, I'm in CT though; I'll probably get a cable this w/end from a friend. I just want to know : is it possible I have a cable that works for 576p, but not for 720p or 1080p? Digital signals might have bandwidth limits - I'm just not sure if it's realistic that my cables would...

Yeah, you just said that. I've done that - it just tries [and fails on] multiple resolutions and then goes back to 576p. The TV definitely is HD [both listed in it's specifications, and the fact I'm essentially pushing a HD signal into it via VGA], and the PS3 is obviously HD, so it's either...

Yeah, I've tried that; it just brings up the Video Output Resolution setup. Of which none work, so it falls back to 576p.

[.. I] "try to set the Video Output Resolution {on the PS3} to 1080p or 720p it doesn't sync and eventually falls back to 576p. ".

Hi guys. So recently I bought a Sony PS3 [http://www.takealot.com/games/sony-playstation-3-slim-console-320gb--gt5--fifa-11--2-x-dual,9773285] to go with my Sony TV [http://www.sony.co.za/product/kdl-40ex400]. I've had the TV for a few months, I normally use it as a second monitor for my PC [my...

Heh, my original plan was in fact to make my own headphone amp, but then I recall the mission it was for my simple 2x30W AB amp I made like 2 years ago. x/ TBH, I play games quite a substantial amount of time, sometimes competitively, so I would obviously like to get the best headies I can. I...

Hmmmk, that sounds like a plan. It probably uses polynomial interpolation, so the more points I can get, the more accurate the curve will be. Any clue if REW has a built-in plugin scripting interface? I could then also integrate the distance between the curves to get a raw *score* for how close...

Speaking of REW [Room EQ Wizard], anyone know a way in REW to input some discrete SPL values at some frequencies and it draws a *best fit* line or w/e around these points. Thing is, Im doing a sound masking project soon, and I always used to use Excel with the recommended values as a certain...

Hmm, what would you recommend driving them from?

Hoping to buy new [Im not a 2nd hand fan TBH  :( ]. I might be able to get two nice pairs of Yamaha speakers [I used to listen to on my dads NAD amp, which he repossessed from me  :)] but Im not sure if they will work well together. The 1 pair is a 2x60W, the other a 2x40W. These speakers are...
