center speaker before and currently when i run aud or mcacc
FR always -3 to -5 as well as center
so diskarte ko lage e 0db ung center

mas gusto talaga natin lahat sa movies clear and vocal
set mo sa 60hz ung center mo

Yes. Preference mo. Pero while playing, you still need to adjust the main volume para hindi magclip ang amp/speaker.

meron po bang recommnded level...

Recommended level is equal SPL (loudness or lakas or volume) lahat ng channels.

hmm mahina po kasi yun center pag stereo yun source ng audio

Normal kasi stereo is 2 channel output lang, left and right. Baka nag prologic yun center mo to provide small amount of center sound.

especially when i shift the settings to dolby movie..i plan on adjusting it....and sir another question..when adjusting the volume...mas safe po kung sa receiver lang me mag aadjust..thank you..

Yes. Normally, sa receiver lang talaga nag-aadjust.

I find Polk too bright for a Yamaha... Wharfedale and Yamaha are good combination i just dont know if it can drive nicely the Wharfs 10. You can also try the PSB Alpha series for your Yammy...

Newbie here, I've been reading around and zoning in on the following receivers but can't decide which one to get. Need your advise which one I should get and what brand speakers goes well with it. Planning to use it for purely watching movies.

Pioneer VSX-922
Yamaha RX-V673
Onkyo TX-NR616

Thanks for any inputs

@ Timithekid

The 3 receivers are within my budget naman and I'm ok with any of them. For speakers, was looking at around P30k budget for a 3.1 setup.

I would suggest that you audition polk audio, psb or wharfdale bookshelf speakers with that budget. But you have to decide first which receiver you like because some pairings are better than others. E.g. Pioneer or yamaha + wharf, onkyo + polk audio, yamaha + psb. Those that i mentioned ade excellent pairs.

Thank you Sir for the tip. I'm still kinda lost on which receiver to get. All of them got great reviews and landing best receiver on some reviews so I'm lost which one to get. Given that the main use would be to watch movies, which do you think is the best fit?

Is Onkyo TX-NR609 a good A/V receiver? I auditioned one a while ago at Sights & Sounds Shang. It's paired to a nice set of Polk Audio speakers.

Tavus · « **Reply #1072 on:** Dec 01, 2012 at 11:28 PM »

the pioneer 922 isn't even the same level class as the yamaha 673 or the onkyo 616. It would be the pioneer 1022 that's closer to those two.

Mga Sir query lang po ulit. Torn betwen onkyo 1009 and marantz 7005. Consider both avr have the same price and condition. I only need 7.2 channel. Will run b&w 685 theater setup. Room is 20sqm. Which would you choose? Thank you. :-)

Timithekid · « **Reply #1075 on:** Dec 08, 2012 at 07:38 AM »

Marantz is said to be more musical, so if used for both HT and music, the marantz will have an edge when used for audio. When used for HT its at par with the onkyo. MArantz though has been known to partner B&W really well.

Hello,
I am a newbie. I am looking for a decent audio-video receiver with a complete speaker system (including sub). My room is 15 square meters and my budget is around 30-40K to set-up my entertainment system.
What in my mind initially are...
> Yamaha VX-371 or VX-471 and mordaunt short speaker pkg combination.
> Onkyo TX-NR414 and wharfdale speaker system combination
Really appreciate any inputs that would fit to my 30-40K budget which can still be a good entertainment package (audio & video) in my 15 sq.mtr room.
