    Surround setup decoupling back speakers question

    So, I’m having a very specific situation that I don’t find the exact answer for, so here it goes: I have recently acquired a pair of KEF R3’s, R11’s and a R2c. The 11’s run on an integrated Yamaha A-S1100 and soon I’ll have the Yamaha RX-A4A receiver. Both will be connected through the Pre-OUT...

    Spurious surround content from VSX-LX305

    Hi all. I just picked up this receiver. My main source is an Nvidia Shield (via HDMI). So far I'm pretty happy with the experience. The Pioneer is installed in exactly the same setup as two previous receivers: an NAD and a Denon. I'm now having a problem that I didn't have with either of...

    Reviving some Advent Minis

    I have five of these that all need their surrounds done. Four of them are from one "batch," I think, and I picked up a fifth to use as the center channel for a matched 5.1 set in the bedroom system. I've done one from the original set of four, and just did the solo one I picked up a week or...

    Converting DD5.1 to Pro Logic Matrixed Stereo?

    New member here! Sorry if this is the wrong space to ask this. I've got a very old JVC RX-903V receiver as part of a matched-component system that I love dearly. It was pretty high end for its day, but its day was 30 years ago. That said, it's been reliable for decades and has sentimental value...

    Reference Four surround foam source?

    I have a pair of Reference Four speakers, and when I was listening to them this evening the woofer was making a little crackling sound. Upon inspection I discovered the foam around the woofer and the mid-range were rotted. This did not surprise me, I am amazed they lasted as long as they did...

    Receiver recommends

    Hello all, Well I am not happy with the sound quality of my newly purchased Sony STR-ZA1100ES for several reasons but mainly the audio quality. I loved that it had presets that could save the lipsync delay for each input. The interface was great. Unfortunately going to just 2 channel stereo...

    Running Four Mixed Ohm Surround Speakers on Two Terminals?

    A few months ago I added 2 extra surround speakers to my 5.1 surround sound setup. 2 small bookshelf speakers each connected in parallel to the left and right surround on my Yamaha RX-V663 (95 watts per channel). 4 surround speakers total on a 5.1 setup. I was inspired by cinema theater...

    Will I kill my woofer if use it with a worn surround?

    I've got a pair of mint Allison Threes (I'm the very long time second owner) and have discovered that the foam surrounds have finally given up the ghost. Bound to happen after 30 years, I guess... Anyway, I have replacement surrounds ordered, but until they arrive, am I really in danger of...

    Tannoy Lynx Restoration

    Hi all! I have been restoring a set of Tannoy Lynx speakers from the Wildcat line from the mid/late '80s. It actually took me a while to figure out what I had as there are no model names on the cabinets and no part numbers on the drivers. Google image search helped a lot. The drivers are the K...

    How does Dolby Pro Logic material sound when processed by Sansui QS?

    You have an old DVD player playing a Dolby Pro Logic (Dolby Surround) source material, channeled through the player's L and R analog output (Dolby Pro Logic signal is always matrixed into stereo). You then connect the player's L/R output into a Sansui QS' L/R stereo input. This way, the Dolby...

    Is Soundstage equal to or like Surround?

    I have a small 2 channel system that I like the tonal qualities of. Also I have a 7.1 surround system that I like to listen to certain music on. The 7.1 system just doesn't seem to have the "timber" that I like for certain songs but the clarity seems to be there. On the 2 channel system the...

    Which surround decoder has the most ambience?

    I read this excellent article about using Yamaha DSP-1 as ambience extractor (as opposed to ambience generator). Basically it's performed by setting the appropriate parameters like surround program (surround decoder), various reverb parameters, and hall mode. I don't have Yamaha DSP-1, but I...

    Ariston Acoustics Image problem

    I offered to repair the mid/bass driver in a friend's Ariston Acoustics Image speaker. She noticed a lot of distortion coming from one speaker and, upon removing the grill it looks like the cone took a hit that ripped the rubber surround. My friend blames her rowdy nieces for the damage but good...

    Are front speaker subwoofers pointless when paired with a dedicated subwoofer?

    I'm newly getting into audio and this is my first post here. I have a 5.1 system set up currently and I have a question about how the subwoofers work with the front bookshelf speakers. I've done research to find an answer but it seems like a pretty obvious question that I can't find a...

    TOA speakers H-3 ex?

    Saw these on Craigslist for cheap (5, plus a HB-1 sub) for <$50. They seem expensive new, but seem to be for commercial applications I can't find anything online (reviews, ect.) about them. Would they be suitable for home theater surround duty?

    Come Critique My Woofer Surround Replacement

    Ah, the dreaded foam rot. I picked up a pair of Cerwin Vega R123 speakers last year, but the surrounds were toast on the 12" woofers. After I ordered the replacement kit from Simply Speakers, I had (what may or may not prove to be) the bright idea to record myself working through the whole...
