Due to space constraints, I'm considering downgrading from my current floorstanders+subwoofer to a soundbar. I had a listen to the (old) JBL 5.1 system late last year - the one with the detachable side gizmos. It sounded okay-ish. Bass was there, mids not so much, and lots of tsss tsss. I...

Hello again :) I have had one of these (Teac AS-M50) since I was a teen back in the 90s. http://classic-hifi.net/product/teac-model-as-m50-4/. I didn't have much appreciation for it back then, but I found it stashed in my father's storage last night and got to thinking about it. As far as...

Greetings folks, Quick question ... I currently have Mission MX3 floorstanders hooked up to an entry level pioneer receiver, and I use it exclusively for movies. I'm thinking about adding a centre speaker into the mix, but finding a matching unit is proving rather difficult. So my question...

Greetings, So just got a ps4 ... Happy days. Connect it to the TV via HDMI and no problems... All systems go! Then connected to my avr (pioneer vsx 321) yesterday and it worked perfectly for 15 mins. Then picture switched off mid game, but sound continued. Unplugged and connected back to TV ...

Greetings folks, So, I unpacked my goods the other day after being stored in boxes for the last 3-4 years. Connected everything up, and everything works ... except the sub. So the details ... Amp: Pioneer VSX 521 Sub: Velodyne Impact 12 Stereo speakers: Mission MX3 I double and triple...

Greetings folks, i finally received my subwoofer :) I just read the Bass Mangement thread, and i want to confirm that i have the settings right. My fronts do 48 hz @ 3db and my sub does 29hz. So on me amp, i set the fronts to small and the XO to 100Hz. On the sub, i bypassed the filter by...

Greetings, I'd like to get some input from you all :) Which sub would be better for movies? - B&W ASW610 or - Velodyne Impact 12 They both come in around the same price point. I've had a listed to the B&W, but i have not yet had an opportunity to hear the Velodyne. Anybody here have...

Greetings, Was going through an HD setup/calibration on one of my Blu rays. One of the steps involves manually adjusting the contrast on the TV till a part of the picture disappears. So, I go to my TV's picture setup options, and believe it or not, there is NO contrast level setting...

Greetings! So, yesterday I thought i'd wind down by watching my Apollo 13 blu ray. After popping in the disc, an 'Invalid' message displays on the LED display. Try a few other discs, and get the same issue. I find it quite strange, 'cause I last used the player about 2 weeks ago, and it...

Greetings Folks, I was watching a Blu ray last night and I noticed that the bass was sligtly delayed. Take a gunshot in the movie for example; you would hear the sound from the center and fronts in time with the picture, but then 1-2 seconds later you'd hear the 'deeper bass' (thud) from the...

Greetings folks, So, Im in the process of building my 5.1 setup for movies. For the last 5 months i've been running stereo only with Mission Mx3s and a Pioneer AVR. Yesterday, i borrowed a center speaker from my father, just to see what sort of impact adding the additional channel would have...

Greetings, How important is amplifier output for powered subs? So, for example, would a sub with a 200W built-in amp be 'better' than one with a 150W amp? Thanks!

Greetings folks, So, my cat knocked one of my floorstanding speakers over on saturday. The cabinet is slightly damaged, but the speaker sounds fine. I had the speaker on spikes, but the spikes reduce the footprint of the speaker, making it easier to topple over. Now, im thinking of ways to...

Greetings folks, Introduction first; Im from cape town. Currently building a home theater system that will primarily be used for movies. At the moment, i've got a stereo setup with a pioneer vsx520-k receiver, and a pair of Mission MX3 floorstanders. The room is about 4 x 4m. My next purchase...

Greetings, I just purchased a pioneer vsx 520. I hooked it up last night, but i'm not getting any picture on the TV. Basically, I connected my top tv decoder using the TV/SAT Audio in and Video in RCA ports on the receiver, and then connected the receiver to my TV using an HDMI cable. I get...

Greetings, This is my very first post, although i have been following the threads for a while. I have a TEAC AS-M50 integrated amplifier, which i believe is from the early '70s? Everything still works on the amp, and to my ear it sounds pretty good. Only problem is that at very low...
