Why 2 subs recommend denon or marantz

It actually depends on which version of YPAO.

The YPAO that comes with receivers after 67x are actually very comparable to Audyssey. The old YPAO from before that was decent at best.

Read this thread for more info - http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers...ny-dcac-vs.html

I've tested both the YPAO version from a rather old Yamaha v463 vs the latest one in the Yamaha v679. There's quite a noticeable difference between the both. AFAIK, most people has only ever heard of the YPAO from the early-to-mid 2000s, not the newer improved one from the last couple of years.

Yeah YPAO (new or old) always has the tendancy to set sub level way too low.

Hi All,

need some help here. Looking to spend a 3-5 K on a speaker system, maybe something like Yamaha.

Any one else here have a nice setup to recommend? Mostly movies, and all kinds of music (audiophile, house, pop etc.).

Thanks.

Hi guys, will there be a KLIAV 2016? Any dates? Thinking of finally going tis year after talking about it for yeaaars with my friend. We are considering to start building our HTs soon so it will be a learning trip. Need to plan plane tix early.

The speakers are very decent.
Receiver on the other hand is pretty meh though, you either get a unit that doesn't break (and sounds decent) or a unit that breaks for zero reason what so ever out of the blue. So, yeah.

:thumbsup:  my "chepo" pioneer have 5 setellite speakers and 1 sub...

I wont be listening to music too loud until like clubbing type of loud.  Sometimes when I am alone at home, I will just blast a little bit..

Been quoted for few center speaker
1. Dali Zensor Vokal rm1200
2. Tannoy Mercury VCi rm750
3. KEF C6LCR rm1200

Which one better to match with Onkyo AVR TX-SR507?

100W4ohm can use at receiver?

sony brand good or not?

upgraded my hometheater to atmos / dts X[attachmentid=6744806][attachmentid=6744810]

lol if go for Floorstand, temporary use back my old pioneer 12 inch sub. Next only change the sub
Btw, floorstand zensor 5 vs 7, which 1 should go to match my Zensor Vokal? Is the Zensor 7 (7 inch woofer) make a big difference over Zensor 5 (5.25 inch)?

The setting depends on your sub as well. For myself I set it at 120hz

Dear Sifu, I can't found the NHT subwoofer is h ow many watt?only able found NHT MA-1 amplifier 80watts RMS ,

Is the amp 80watt, but when I watch movie powerful .

So it also 500 watt, same as B&W

But which one better?

Thanks for ur explain.. Till now I was searching how many watt is this speaker. Very hard for me to choose it

1) It does seems that you would not get any output from the sub channel for stereo-stereo unless your LR is set to small. Need to reconfirm that by testing again.
3) Out of curiosity, is limiting bass output by setting speakers to small for towers a common method for bass management or simply a hack. Meaning if you have a sub, always set it to small.
4) You can use SCENES for bass management, how do you do that? Is it by selecting different sound mode? (sound program, sur.decode, straight mode and pure direct)
I actually did some test and found that you are right.
For speakers set to large, crossover have no effect on them but the range of sound from the sub would be different (redirect).
For speakers set to small, crossover will limit the range of bass they will be able to produce as well as the range of sound for the sub (remove and redirect).
So the crossover effect really depends on whether the speakers are set to small or large. The capabilities to reproduce them is another matter.
This effect is most noticeable for movies for the center channel as the sound can change from a man with a deep voice to a kid when setting the crossover from 200Hz to 20Hz

4. Assuming there is no sub, would the crossover setting still relevant?
Sometimes I would not turn on the sub and wonder how all these setting would affect the LR speakers. If I don't turn the sub on, do I need to also set the AVR sub to none (5.0) as well?
