Just brought Monitor Audio Silver RS last January 2006
Front RS6 x 2,
Back RS1 x 2,
Centre RS LCR
Subs RSW-12
Receiver Yamaha RXV-657

Ano ang actual power rating nitong Yamaha Receiver? Para kasing bitin sa (sound?) ?
Kailangan pa ba ng Amps para gumanda ang tunog ng Monitor Audio?

Run-In Time Estimate 5 Hrs at -12dB ; 20 Hrs at -40dB ; 20 Hrs at -30 dB ; 10 hrs at -17dB.

How do I know if the speakers are clipping?
Thanks

IMHO i would get an external 5 channel amp to drive the speakers properly, especially if your room is relatively big.

Actually, the setup is in my bedroom.
15.5 ft x 17 ft

Do you know a decent 5 channel Amp?
Thanks

Been looking at Jungson AV-1000C, pero wala yata sa Pinas.

OK ang mids when i listened to it...i believe it's MA's strength...bass is acceptable...makukuha sa positioning...yun lang naman ang aking brief encounter with the RS1, thanks!

Thanks to all guys. Fixed the problem with my setup. the Yamaha RXV-657 lacks power to drive MA speakers. Got the dial turn just -10dB, and the sound starts to becomes "garbled". Also, IMO not a good match for MA RS. Maybe, as John said - I need to get an external amp.

Had a chance to borrow Sony TA-VA80ES. The difference can be noticed immediately. No longer are the "bad sound" present. Also, the power - oh YES the power. Just turning it for a quarter turn, and the sound is already starting to become too loud for music. That's POWER.

You'll see finesse of sound, finer balance, ... etc.

Still something else is lacking. This Sony's a good receiver, but still lacks the "WOW factor".

Maybe, I'll still have to search for much better receiver.

Again, thanks

Why don't you try Harmand Kardon receivers... I'm sure it will make your speakers sing well... even using the HK135 only. But if you looking for power try HK335 and above models....

BTW, I'm using HK130 to drive all of my Bronze MA speakers... B4 --> front, B-center and B2 for surround and I'm very satisfied how this HK130 delivers power to my speakers...

Enjoy!!

Sir Calvin Tan:

When confronted with a choice between a practical solution and an expensive solution, I invariably choose the practical one.

And IMO, getting an external amp is the expensive solution, which might even lead to a never-ending gear accumulation that will transform your home into a cluttered eyesore in no time.

The practical, anti-clutter solution is to sell the Yammy and replace it with a receiver that will be a better match to the Monitors. Madali lang naman ibenta ang mga Yammy sa buy and sell section natin.

Tama si boss t_s_o_n_g. Palagay ko, sa HK ka maliligayahan!

Actually, I'm still searching for THE processor/receiver which I believe will be best for me. It's a sad fact that most stores here tend to guage buyers by their outward appearance. (In short, pag naka-short ka lang dehins ka na papansinin ng mga store clerks. At lalo pang mapapasama pag naka-tsinelas ka lang. Magsasayang ka lang ng laway sa pakikiusap para mag-audition.)

I still waiting for a receiver, hoping this would be the last audition. And hopefully, I might be able to compare all the items that I had collected, and will probably dispose the rest.

To all members of PinoyDVD,
Thanks

Bro in my experience, fortunately (for them) ineentertain nila ko. Dahil kung hindi ijiu-jiu-jitsu ko sila hehe jk. I don't know why. Naka gula-gulanit akong t shirt wid matching shorts at hardcore na tsinelas nung bumili ako ng harman ko. Maliit lang naman akong tao at maiitim...kumbaga poorboy look talaga. At hindi ko sila sinabihan na bibili na ko. Inasikaso naman ako ng husto, at sila pa nag offer na iparinig saken!

Baka naman nataon lang na walang kwenta ung pinagtatanungan mo. Pag pasenshahan mo na lang.

Para di O.T. , mga bossing, m planning to upgrade my floorstanders at parang B4 ang napupusuan ko.Havent heard them though, nababasa ko lang sa reviews mukhang maganda. How much difference ng Silver sa Bronze?

Kanya-kanyang taste lang yan. Mas maganda kung ma-audition mo muna with the RECEIVER or PRO/AMP that you are going to use. Para ma-check mo kung maganda ang matching. Huwag mo masyadong pansinin ang break-in period - (IMO) konti lang ang ipinagbago. Mas malaki pa ang pinagbago noong ni-rearrange ko ang speakers para makuha ang optimal listening distance, floor base levelling, at sabay pasak ng foam doon sa monitor audio exhaust vent sa likod ng RS6 floor-stander (halos nakadikit na kasi sa pader). -- Malakas talaga masyado ang bass nito - palagay ko pang tubo ang RS6.

Korek ka jan, sir.

Hindi rin ako bilib sa "break in". Of course, all appliances benefit from break-in, but the improvement would not be as dramatic as some people would have us believe.

Except for subwoofers. A break-in period improves a sub's performance significantly.
