QUOTE(kevinlim001 @ Mar 27 2021, 04:38 PM) send it to check but yea could be the same problem i experience before. maybe is a reason for you to upgrade Worth it to check? Do they charge for it? By the way, if my new subwoofer is 75 watts and my receiver can supply 100 watts each channel, should i keep the new subwoofer volume toggle at half? |

By the way, if my new subwoofer is 75 watts and my receiver can supply 100 watts each channel, should i keep the new subwoofer volume toggle at half? not 100% sure about your setup.. but most of our sub is active sub. Its powered by its internal amp. the signal from AVR is only audio signal (LFE) no power. That is why if u see the subwoofer connection is different from the rest of the speakers. in short it works independently.. and require power connection for your sub unlike the rest of ur speakers. Lastly, the subwoofer volume.. it all down to the calibration with all the speaker when u r doing it with your avr. during calibration you will need to adjust the vol to level match the other speakers.. if its too low your subwoofer might not be detected but during calibration we normally will set it at half and adjust it accordingly..75w T5 might not be suffice if ur listening area is large. |

Mine now have to put 1/4 of the volume else it will rattle. Mine is a 200 watt subwoofer. Did not have the rattling problem ever before and checked the outside of the speaker voice coil, no tear. then it must be the driver thats degrading..must be obe one the transistor ... p/s : mine is TX-SR333 This post has been edited by carnby77: Mar 28 2021, 01:58 PM |

So when you adjust the dB in the receiver for the subwoofer you actually increasing the signal strength right? and volume is controlled at the back of the subwoofer? by right the vol back of the sub is use for the calibration only. Once its calibrated (level matching with other speakers) you can leave it intact. You can add 1 or 2 db post calibration if you want more bass else we wont touch it. The subwoofer vol will be adjusted as u dial up/down the AVR vol. My old svs also do not has the tear that is visible from the diaphragm or suspension but the voice coil is beneath the dust cap which is not visible from external. That's my guess... but better send for professional to check to be sureMine now have to put 1/4 of the volume else it will rattle. Mine is a 200 watt subwoofer.

QUOTE(kevinlim001 @ Apr 9 2021, 09:27 AM) most likely ur speaker cables are touching check all the speaker jacks at AVR and speaker end. Invest on banana plugs or pin if you have not I have removed all the speakers. I suspect maybe its shorting at the jacks on the receivers side. Cause there were some loose strands of core wires....hmmm..will check and get back to you guys. |

Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right thread to ask. I will be setting up a TV room/office with a 65 inch Sony A8H or LG CX TV. Need to get a 5.1 dolby atmos sound system that supports TV, PS4, PC. I have limited blu ray titles so won't be using it extensively for blu ray movies. Key sound input will be from my PC and Netflix. May subscribe to Disney plus when it is out in Malaysia. May I know should I just get myself a sound bar or should I get a proper AV system that supports PC, TV and PS4? The sound system should be good for movies, talk shows (like news) and music. Can handle multiple sound inputs. Based in JB. If going for AV system, do you guys know a good shop for AV in JB? I can only think of Harvey Norman and Senheng. Maybe also Kek Seng. I pretty much know about sound bar out there being either go for Samsung or LG ones (currently I have Yamaha entry level sound bar). For AV system totally noob especially which speaker to go with. Also any other things to look out for in terms of renovation? Like electrical points, wiring, noise insulation, lighting etc. Appreciate your help. Thanks. |

Thanks. for sound bar you can look under harvey norman/aeon/senheng Sen heng offers pioneer/onkyo avr set kek seng also offer some decent soundbar + entry level AVR normally mid range / high range AVR required to be ordered from KL. Speaker option also limited in JB.. the common brand here are Yamaha/Pioneer speaker. for renovation advice you can look for Alan Tan from Quantum Acoustic. He can help you with you AVR and Speakers (Q acoustics / Klipsch - double check with him. ) Q acoustic is good starting speakers |

I disagree.if the spk is ok type. u will heard amazing feeling from that song The only way to choose speakers is to bring it back home, put it in your room and sit in your spot and listen. What you hear in the demo room has very little semblance of what you hear in your room. |
