    Best Amp/Receiver for a Forte IV Home Theater & Stereo Setup

    BLUF - Looking for amp/AVR recommendations for HT setup centered around Fort IVs as main L/R speakers - classic MCM vibe (wood paneling or wood enclosures, silver metal?), current black plastic amps don't fit the look - HT will have 4K projector, apple TV, PS5 (+/- Switch/N64) - May also add on...

    AVR vs AVC vs AVP

    In home theater, what are the differences among AVR, AVC, and AVP? I know AVR is an all-in-one unit much like the vintage receivers (Sansui 9090 etc.), but how about AVC and AVP? Especially with Denon, most of their models carry one of those acronyms, can I identify their category just by...

    Onkyo HT-RC180 No Sound DSP chip issue

    A week ago I scored an Onkyo HT-RC180 for free. Well from the vet go it had what I came to find out was the DSP No Sound Chip Issue. It randomly started working for a day, ever since then it has not worked. I went and got a heat gun, thermo gun and some flux. I followed the YouTube videos to no...

    Crackling on new (used) Marantz AVR

    I recently purchased a used Marantz SR5011 from a 3rd party seller. The unit appeared to be in good, clean condition and the seller agreed to fully refund if I had any issues. I immediately set up the receiver when I got home and noticed that the front left speaker is crackly/fuzzy. I am...

    Are passive speakers destined to sound less "forward" than active speakers at low volume?

    I recently got into high-quality audio, and my first set-up has been a set of Yamah NS-8s along with a Yamaha RX-V490 receiver. At first, I was excited to hear what my set-up would sound like, but I was soon disappointed by the lack-luster, "far off" sounding music that resulted. It was nothing...

    2 Channel System / AVR Integration

    I'm replacing my AVR and had the idea to add a switching device for speaker input. Previously I had L/R front channel on pre out and ran those channels through my dedicated two channel amp/preamp. However that creates a lot of heat and needless energy usage in my small media room. So I am...

    Connecting a Preamp to Multi-Channel Analog Inputs?

    I have a late 1990's Onkyo Integra DTR-5 AVR that has quite a few features that I love (even compared with modern replacements), and it has no problem driving most of the speakers that I own. I'm no longer using it in my primary home theater setup, but I was hoping to keep it and use it as a...

    Denon S750H: shockingly good sounding HT amp with tons of connectivity options

    Just thought I’d write a quick impression of this budget receiver. I picked up mine used for about 250 bucks, which seems to be pretty regularly available price in my area on craigslist or offer up. I was getting sick of using vintage flagship receivers in my living room setup. Having remote...

I rather hope I can figure out a way to use the...

    Denon AVR x2100w Protection Circuit/Mode

    My 2100 was working flawlessly until my 9-year-old was showing off and cranked up the volume super fast up to max volume. It was there for about 5 seconds before it got turned back down. Ever since the protection light will come on when you power on the receiver, but only sometimes. Sometimes it...

    Advice on my next AVR purchase...

    Hello, I currently run a Sony DN1060 AVR with a set of Elac Debut F6.2s with C6.2 center channel and an Infinity Sub12 reference woofer. It sounds good! Really, for what I paid I’m super happy. However, I’m coming from the world of separated and high end vintage gear, but I’m now having to...

    Yamaha RX-V757 remote control

    Hey guys new here. I bought Yamaha RX-V757 with a replacement remote (RAV315) but this remote is only good for power on/off input and volume controls. I can't get into the manual set-up with the remote or even with the front panel controls. Does anyone know how i can get into the manual set-up...

    Is no remote for Yamaha RX-Vxxxx series a big deal?

    Been reading that the older AVRs are really good for sound, and can be had for not too much. So kinda got focused on older Yamaha RX-Vxxxx series avrs. What I have been noticing is that , in many cases, especially on ebay, there is no remote included. Have found that often, the remotes sell for...

    Denon AVR-X1400H or Onkyo TX-NR747

    I'm looking at potentially purchasing a new to me second hand AVR for my system. I want to get something that is Dolby Atmos and THX-X capable so I can take advantage of those technologies in the future but probably won't use them right now. For now, I'll just be using a standard 5.1 setup. I've...

    Is this an (Onkyo) HDMI Board Problem?

    In my TV room I have a TX-NR809 AVR. It's been pretty reliable but is starting to act up but not in a way that follows the pattern of the typical dreaded HDMI board problem. According to many YouTube videos I've seen on the problem, when you power the AVR on and it warms up initially, you never...

    AVR Receiver wattage, why so weak these days and only 2 channels driven instead of each channel?

    I own a pair of Polk LSI25s and a Polk LSIM4 center. I purchased an Onkyo 676 thinking it would be able to drive the 3.1 system decently. Then of course i read the fine print. (210 watts at 1 channel driven) (110 watts at 2 channels driven). At $500, you'd think this receiver would be able to...

    Weird problem with Denon avr-1912 component output

    Hi, I've had a Denon AVR 1912 receiver for a while now. Aside from being really confusing sometimes, it works great. Recently I was trying to get audio and video output from different sources, realized it wasn't going to work, and gave up. I changed only one setting (video source to my sat/cbl)...

    Need basic advice on using Denon AVR-3805 for music only

    Had an Amp die so I am going to use an Denon AVR for music in my office on four Polk R-15s. But I have never used this amp before ($70 at Goodwill :-)). I could use some basic hook-up info to speed my learning, while I work my way thru the manual. How do I hook-up and set the amp to 1)...
