Re: The Audiophile Thread
That system has a passive subwoofer. So for all intents and purposes--not upgradeable to anything worth having.I was considering that one and this one: http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-HT-S3500...Speaker+System
Another question: Would both of those be upgradable? Say if I wanted a bigger subwoofer, would I be able to replace the one that comes with it?
You want a HTIB that has a AVR that looks something like this:

Notice the subwoofer input is separate from the other speakers
Not this <img src=http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/htr340large.jpg>
The subwoofer's input looks just like any other speaker
One way to tell if a HTIB uses an active or passive sub.Last edited by GAMEC0CK2002; 12-08-2012, 04:24 PM.Comment

Re: The Audiophile Thread
Just ordered a pair of these bad boys (Heir Audio 4a's):
Now begins the frustrating wait while they are built. I went with a blue and red shells and a burl wooden faceplate (instead of the yellow and bamboo in the pic).
Anyone else here have any experience with Custom IEM's?Comment

Re: The Audiophile Thread
So my onkyo system came today and I need some help with the speaker placement. Because of my room's configuration, I can't have my speakers equidistant from the TV unless I mount them on the ceiling. So would it be better to mount them on the ceiling and angle them down, or have them at ear level but one farther than the other.
And for the surround speakers, I know they're supposed to be about 2 to 3 feet higher than ear level, but are they supposed to be angled straight across, or down towards the couch?Follow me on Twitter: @ADice15Comment

Re: The Audiophile Thread
I already did. I know it says to put them at ear level, but would putting it at the ceiling (about 8 ft) and angling them down towards the ear level be better than having one about 2 feet away and the other about 6 feet away?Follow me on Twitter: @ADice15Comment

Re: The Audiophile Thread
I'd say do the latter, and set up the dB for each speaker so they sound balanced for your seating position. Ear level is crucial.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: The Audiophile Thread
Thanks. I just tried that and it seems it's not an option unless I want to mount it to a door. My only other option, other than mounting near the ceiling, is to put them both pretty close to the center speaker.Follow me on Twitter: @ADice15Comment
