;D Ok, it sounds much better! I've turned knobs, pressed buttons and have no clue what I have done overall but the sound it back to "normal". One thing though is that I did have to turn up the volume on the sub-woofer considerably. I cant give you the science behind it though, was it the wooden...

Jeez guys, so much info so little ability :-) I will try over the weekend to move the speakers, set the speakers to small, play with the crossover etc. Thank you for the ton of advice, I will let you know as soon as done!

Thank you, what you are saying makes perfect sense of course. I'm not very knowledgeable on this topic and when I get stuck I run to the AV Forum for help like this which is great!! TG for Internet! Let me see if I can answer all your questions: Where have you set the low pass filter on the...

Thanks Goneten, no over exaggerating, no wide room with Sub Woofer. I just tried a different CD (Chris Rea/ Road to Hell) and the bass sounds better and the sound "fuller". Still, in my previous house the bass was overpowering and I had to se the Sub Woofer virtually to zero.Im not even trying...

Eish, my spelling in that post was terrible!! I checked the wires and they are correct. I just notice something though, the Decoder is plugged into the Video 1 RCA plugs, the DVD player is connected through the coaxial socket. If I switch/ play both at the same time I hear the sound from both...

How strange, I moved into a new house and now the sound on my Onkyo and B&W speakers is "gone"? It sound extremely flat with no bass? I turn up the Base Diver and can feel the speaker moving/ thumping but hear no base? The new house is extremely small with wooden floors. I cant seen to set the...

Hi vdmerwn, here is a rather long piece from my own experience when buying a set up but I hope it helps! When I started looking around for sound I also received a hellova lot of info from the guys here. I remember at times it was confusing but after a while I could narrow down my choices and I...

;D Thank you for helping yet again. I've also just realized that having a better set-up I now hear the friggin difference in the quality of recordings :P Some CD's are bright, some lacks bass response etc.

Goneten, Ken and Shonver I do thank you for your practical advice!! I have lowered the volume on the amp and set the EQ to out,low pass filter and crossover on the amp to 60  and there is a HUGE improvement. Also setting the distance further away from 2.4 meters to 3.3 meters (room is quite...

??? Eventually I saved up enough and purchased Amp Onkyo SR502E DVD Onkyo SP503E B&W 704 Front B&W 685 Surrounds B&W ASW 608 sub Dali Lektor 1 Center Now I have a problem adjusting the sub!! My previous Jamo sub I gave away as I could never adjust it to my tastes and it sounded "untimed" if...

mmmm... had a look at the content and unless your are VERY VERY religious it doesn't look like the is much else to watch. :'(

I have not called yet but there are contact number available for Freeview and a set top box for R1000. Exciting stuff  ;D http://www.msatsa.co.za/faq.html

;D Ahha, thanks I got it. Sounds the same though  >:( Will have to look for better speakers..... sigh, I can feel an expense coming on!

Thanks Shonver, after some ore reading up on the net I realize they are actually quite k+k speakers ::) ...and no I gave the old equipment to a friend in the excitement of getting new stuff. Thank you for the advice Norvel it sounds great .... [blush] I dont really know what it means though...

Room the same but I replaced my ancient Blaupunkt amp (Imported from Germany) and Pioneer turntable with a "modern" system. Onkyo 502 amp with dvd/ cd player. I think the speakers are not up to scratch but not sure. I had no budget left after buying the above in one go and settled on speakers...

:) Thanking all for your advice. The "warm" sound I refer to has nothing to do with bass though. Maybe I should say.....not a "tinny" or "digital" sounding.  : ???  I don't know how to put in words what I hear! CD sounds like it has an over perfected "crisp" quality to it. It sounds "clean"...

Missing the "warm", room filling sound from my ancient Blaupunkt and Pioneer set up with turntable I was wondering if one can buy speakers that would "shirt" how do I put this; make the cd sound "warm" and more "open"  ??? I'm not erudite  with the Audiophile terminology as you can see. I'm...

Veiled!  :D Now there is the word I was looking for. I was to afraid to use muffled as it is not the right description.

:( Just bought a SACD but cant really detect [better] quality sound? Is it really soooo much better or is the Onkyo 502 amp not up to it? :'( I have to be back at work tomorrow [dregs and trolls]. Did the fantastic holiday have to fly by that quicly!

Received a tip from someone that works pretty well. For speaker insulation buy the rubber mesh thingy that you put in the boot of your car to stop things from sliding around cut n put a piece on the speaker stand. Damps vibration and stops speakers from siding. But then again, Im at the bottom...
