NP: Bach-Air on a G String, orchestral version. (I listen to a ton of classical music. very relaxing, and great for showing off the SQ of my system )

OK guys, need osme help. I plan on eventually getting a pretty kick a$$ set up for the house. To help get me started, my dad graciously gave me a Toshiba 5 channel (plus subwoofer, so 6) home system...minus receiver. The receiver crapped out. I'd like to get a receiver for these speakers that will also be fine for when the time comes to get a nice pair of Klipsch or B&W's. This system looks identical to this: Except the center channel is rectangular instead of more square like the satelite speakers. Here the specs for the speakers: Satellite Speaker Center Speaker Passive Subwoofer Type: 2 Way 2 Speaker 2 Way 2 Speaker 1 Way 1 Speaker Impedance: 8 Ω 8 Ω 4 Ω Frequency: 110 - 40kHz 110 - 40kHz Hz 40 - 1,500Hz SPL: 83 dB/W (1m) 83 dB/W (1m) 82 dB/W (1m) Rated Power: 60W 60W 100 W Max. Power: 120 W 120 W 200 W Now there are 6 speakers total and the specs above list 5. Are the 4 satilites supposed to be wired so that a pair are as one, so that they split the 60W for 30W a piece? Anyways... give me the best options for a reciever that will also make a great one for better speakers later on. If I end up getting higher power rated speakers (I probably will) I can get an amp by Rotel or something. So far the best receiver I've come across for those power levels is one by Marantz for $349. This one right here: http://us.marantz.com/Products/2090.asp I'd like to stay at this dollar figure or below. In found a Sony one to but it's 100W per channel. Thanks in advance. PS. Edit: Aldo the speakers have little red and black tabs on the back to accept regular speaker wire. It's not RCA's or fixed wires coming out of them. And Holy crap I almost forgot... Video. Everything is gonna run into it: DVD player, TV and Xbox. Sorry. A little...but also big fact

Ok, it worked the regular way tonight. I dunno what was going on. Thanks for your help mark. PS. I put in the special instructions where to ship to. Let me know if for somereason it didn't go through.

Edit: It still won't work

When I click the last part to order the shirt, it says order failed. Dunno what's going on. My billing adress is different than the shipping address. Is that what may be causing problems. Can I PM Mark amd give him my info so he can bill me and ship it? Thanks for any help

Welcome to SSA. I'm sure you'll find plenty of knowledgable people here to assist you.

Welcome to SSA!

Welcome to SSA! Best damn click you ever made!

Congrats! And this is kind of off topic, but does anyone know the requirements to get a feature (even a small one) in CA&E? I've seen everything from pretty pedstrian (albeit clean and pro set-ups) to fully crazy in there and was wondering. I submitted my vehicle in the begining of of this month and ahven't heard anything. Thanks for any info. Sorry for thread jacking. Back to the topic

Pulled the latest on Steve Meade's caddy build on Audiojunkies.com and posted it on CA.com. Some one mentioned his build log was here, so I came to check it out. The rest is history. Love the board, best one on the net yet.

Mega secksy. BTW, gonna order my SSA shirt next month You should offer some black coffee mugs with the SSA logo them and "soundsolutionsaudio.com" underneath it. I know I'd guy one

http://wcbstv.com/breakingnewsalerts/heath...d.2.635530.html Speculation is that Ledger began taking pills upon the filming of Batman, trying to get the most realistic derranged, psycho persona for his part of Joker, which inadvertantly may have led to dependancy and ultimately his death. Saw some reporters on TMZ talking about it.

Welcome! best forum on teh innernets

Co-sign. Welcome. You found a great forum

Oh man....been there....still do that

I put one my myspace page. Sweet sigs!

I still wonder that. Probably because power handling has little to do with price and original engineering is expensive. And that power handling IMO is the most OVER rated aspect of how good a driver is. It's but one aspect that plays a small part in its overall effectiveness. Suspenion, Cone design, motor force and linearity throughout excursion, materials, etc. all play into it.

This was brought to my attention in thread on another board. The sub continuous power ratings had changed on the website and a couple poster mentioned that they'd be willing to bet it came from retailers complaining about losing sales because the stuff wasn't rated as high as others, even though you don't have to be a rocket scientist to look at the motor structure and suspension on a 13W6 a know it can handle just a tad more than 500W continous. I was surprised however at how much they had underated their stuff. I always figured it was by 100-150W max, but most of them jumped at least 200W. Anyways, I contacted my buddy JC at Audio Advisors, who are the biggest retailer of JL in Florida and who is very close personally to the higher ups at JL, and indeed the ratings were changed due to complaints from retailers and some consumer bad mouthing (I.E. This sub says it handles 1000WRMS for $300, why does JL's cost $700?) The patents and performance parameters weren't enough and only satisfy a smaller growing number of clientell. Here's what he wrote me back: So in short, their subs are no longer underrated. They are listed at what they can truly do. They are what we thought they were!

What up Cody! I'm from Fla. too, born and raised. Been living in Louisiana the last 4 years though. Welcome SSA!
