QUOTE(specuvestor @ Jul 27 2010, 05:54 PM) This is odd. Thought having it on standby with a bit of current is good for electronics. Just like switching on/off your lights saves the earth but not so good for the bulbs. I think it's ok if we have it on standby for short periods of time, eg, few hours in a day before we switch it off every night before going to bed. The problem is some people leave their tvs on standby mode 24/7 all year round. |

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Jul 27 2010, 10:00 PM) I leave it on standby all year round. I do not agree with the technician. If that was the case, then the best way to prolong the lifetime would be to use the display sparingly as well... There is some truth to it because I have a friend who repairs TVs and according to him, many of the cases were due to the malfunction of a certain component in the TV that was caused by prolonged idling in standby mode. Anyway, that doesn't mean every single TV would face the same fate if put under the same conditions, as there is always going to be a variation from one to another. Different sets have different lifespans. Yours might just be the more robust piece of equipment. But I would just try to stay on the safe side. |

QUOTE(formalin @ Aug 5 2010, 03:22 PM) 1.After the basis full auto MCACC setup how do we proceed to The Advanced MCACC? Try this link I just came across. Might not answer all your questions but may be able to enlighten us more on MCACC. The rest is up to us to experiment and get the 'best' setup for our system.2.Do we set the speakers size first then MCACC or after MCACC then set speaker size? I did the auto MCACC, the speakers size always come out Large even I’m using KEF3005SE which are small 5.1 speakers.  After setting to small,when I run MCACC again it sets it back to large.  3. What is the best sub crossover for a small room of 11’X14’, any how my input is 100HZ..any help in this area? 4. Another thing is, it sometime show my center speaker as Reverse Phase even the speaker are properly connected, it drive me nuts .…I just ignore it and proceed with the calibration...  http://www.avforums.com/forums/pioneer-pro...neer-mcacc.html This post has been edited by weim76: Aug 6 2010, 02:27 PM |

QUOTE(de_lasoul @ Aug 7 2010, 10:27 AM) Hey, has anyone used Pioneer speakers, eg Series 3, 7 and 8? Yup, I am also curious to know if there is anybody using these speakers out there at the moment. Are these good? Any comments? If nobody is interested to buy my Series 8, I will most likely use it for my own listening pleasure...  |

QUOTE(paskal @ Aug 8 2010, 09:49 PM) at 6 ohm and 85dB sensitivity, you're gonna need a beast to drive it. Yeah, that is the problem. I have sold the LX82. The Series 8 speakers were supposed to go too. And I was planning to get something more affordable like the VSX-819 to couple with other speaker brands - use the extra cash for other commitments/debts.a beast like the LX82 with its' Bang & Olfusen ICEPower amp module would be perfect.. Now I am seriously considering VSX-919 (7.1 channels) to pair with the Series 8. Then use the spare Surround Back channels to bi-amp to the front speakers to lessen the load. Good thing the front speakers allow bi-amping. Do you think this may work? I normally don't crank up the volume as I stay in a link house. Appreciate your opinions on this. Thanks. |

QUOTE(paskal @ Aug 9 2010, 12:14 PM) the VSX-919/1019 don't have a very good amp module. IINM, tested only to have about 28W of power. That's very humbling to hear. Is there any competitor's brand out there in the similar price range who can perform better? I am in Singapore for a couple of weeks and one shop is selling the Pioneer VSX-920 for SGD799 (can further claim back the GST). It's very tempting but I am also looking around for alternatives to better match the speakers. |
