DUDE, you should be in the negative noise area with the multiple multiple noise reduction appliances. Soon it will make the music so quite you'll hear no music at all....

Re: SDA 1A What to do now?
For practical purposes, your receiver does not "have" ohms. It is rated to DRIVE (power) a range of loads measured in ohms.twnandcntry wrote: »How do I tell how many ohm my receiver is.
The most-common FTC spec is "maximum continuous Watts into an 8-ohm load at a given THD"; sometimes there's a spec for max Watts continuous into a 4-ohm load, usually at a somewhat higher THD. Because the nature of receivers is to be cost-cut, and lower-ohm loads require more copper, more iron, and more capacitance in the power supply than 8-plus ohm loads, low-ohm loads (under 6 ohms, more-or-less) are--generally speaking--outside the comfort zone of most receivers. Either the watts goes down, or the distortion goes up, or in extreme cases, the smoke comes out.
Capacitance and inductance of the load matters, also...but there's no standardized spec for those, and it's not like the speaker manufacturer is likely to tell you that anyway.
If your receiver does not have an FTC spec for 4-ohm loads (which is likely but not guaranteed)...start looking for a more-suitable amplifier/integrated amp, or--maybe--a just-plain-better receiver.

Re: Best TV on the market-Expert Recommendation
Bought the 77 Sony OLED a year ago and I love the performance. Costco with the free two year warranty and part of the deal was another three year’s warranty added onto the original two. Good luck. D

Re: Recommend a good Universal Remote
I need a universal remote to go with a LG tv and a Onkyo Home theater receiver.
I been looking at the Logitech Harmony One, that uses a rechargeable battery.
I also, saw a highly rated "SofaBaton" model, but may be out of my budget.
Can anyone recommend some options and other remotes, less than $100?
I did tried the SofaBaton and returbed a few days later. I did not like it.
Cheers

Re: Awesome Find Vintage Polk
I have 2 Polk audio model 10 speakers l purchased in 1979 ser# 62827 and 62837 sound great and in good condition. Would anyone have an idea of their value
I've come to the conclusion that a lot of vintage gear is worth more to "us" than to "them". That said, I guess the trick (with anything vintage) is finding someone who values it as much as "we" do. I have owned (some) my Polks for over 40 years...and I know in my case (at least for the Monitor 4's), I'm going to make sure that one of my kids get them when I'm gone.
