Hi, all sifus

I'm a newcomer.
I want to setup a HT in my new house and need to get some advise.

My HT consists of

1. Onkyo TX-SR507
2. Speaker system: Jamo S606 HSC3

My listening area is 20 ft x 24 ft x 10 ft.
Is actually the living hall connected directly to dinning hall.

Would Jamo Sub 300 Or Wharfy SUB 250 good enough for this kind of application?

How long u had been using the SW-250?
And how much u want to sell?
If the price is attractive, then may consider to buy and use it temporarily.
Plan to upgrade to Sub 25 later on as now really not afford coz just move to new house.

Agree........

Hello, all sifus.
May i know how to manually set the receiver?

Hi guys,

After doing some study, i found out that klipsh/synergy sub-12 kind of boleh tahan also (based on the specs)

Frequency response: 24 - 120 Hz +/- 3 dB
Power handling: FTC rated power: 300W continuous @ 1% THD , Dynamic power : 650W
Max acoustic: 117dB
Driver: 12" fiber composite cone - down firing
Amplifier: BASH digital hybrid

Anyone using this sub? Is it good?
What is the price?

Are u sure?
Coz SW450 is only 10" sub whereas synergy Sub 12 is 12" sub.
How can SW450 replace sub 12?

Actually what kind of criteria that we need to pay attention when buying a subwoofer?
How to judge distortion or boominess?

Last time i used to heard some long & annoying bass sound from my neighbour before i move to new house.
Feel like dizzy listening to this kind of bass.
So this type of sub is not good, right?

Htkaki, how much is Klipsch SW450, RW-10d & RW-12d?

Hi sifus,

Want to ask what will happened to my below setting?

Jamo speaker S606 (8" passive subwoofer): 45Hz ~ 20KHz
Onkyo setting subwoofer: No
Front: large
crossover: 80Hz
Speaker & AVr connection: Bi-wiring

80Hz below signal will go to passive subwoofer? or just dissappear?

The Jamo S606 front speaker build up with tweeter + mid range + 8" passive woofer.

So i do not exactly sure what is happened with my setting with
AVR setting (subwoofer): No
Front speaker: large
Crossover: 80Hz

So, i think .1 channel sure no with this configuration.
But all signal > 80Hz will send to front speaker, right?
And i lost all signal <80Hz as .1 doesnt exist or these <80Hz signal will send to the passive woofer in Front speaker?

Yes, i did run Audyssey and it basically set the crossover to 80Hz.
I think it set the crossover at 80Hz as it detect the surround speaker capability whereby it can only handle 80 ~ 20KHz.
Onkyo SR-507 doesnt allow me to set cut-off / crossover frequency for each speaker individually.

So, what is actually happened with my current setting?

anfieldude, i think u r right.
No choice lo, but to get a sub.

Any good recommendation that is < 2k?
Was thinking of getting Jamo Sub 300 with Bash amplifier.
Any comment?

Hi all sifus,

Currently i owned a set of Jamo S606. But the bass is kind of weak as it only have 2 x 8" passive subwoofer.
Thinking of getting an active subwoofer preferably works for movies & music (50/50%)
Want to have have ur opinons on below sub:

1. Infinity PS210MKII (offer RM 1399) - had an audition but i think is kind of boomy for music and Ok for movies based on my limited knowledge & experience.

2. Paradigm PDR100 (offer RM 1499) - not yet audition. But check spec it only have 120W RMS power, is it enough to cover my living + dining area (open concept) of 18ft x 24ft area?

3. Is CHT-10Q good for movies & music as well? Saw a lot of forum members use this sub. Not asking for an excellent musicality sub. Is it well enough to handle normal / entry level?

4. SVS PB10NSD - should be very good as i found out a lot of comments and articles from net. But not sure the price.

Hope sifus on there can give some guide / comments.
TQ

How much?

This post has been edited by cslee007: Dec 27 2011, 11:45 AM

Tight budget, 2.1k max.
I'm just at the entry level. No need SVS SB12 for the moment.
Just start & at the stage of exploring & enjoying HD audio & HT.

So, for this kind of budget, what is the best choose to go for?
1. Velodyne CHT-10Q (roughly 2.2k)
2. Paradigm DSP-3100 (not sure how much yet)
3. Paradigm PDR-100 (RM 1499)
4. Infinity PS210MKII (RM 1399)

Among these, which is the best for movies & music?

Checked online & found out the best subwooder for the range of US 399 - 550, the ranking as below
1. BIC F12 (US 499)
2. Emotiva Ultra Sub 10 (US 329)
3. Elemental A3S-250 (US350)

Any comments on these few models?
