Pls help me setup my rig!!

TheMaster

Hey guys, I was wandering if the pros could give me some advice on how to set up my rig. I don't have a much ugraded systems like everyone here but I plan to do it sometime in the near future. However, I would like to get the most out of what I have now and enjoy it somehow. I appreciate any inputs and ofcourse I appreciate it to if there's none .

Here's what I have (I know it's embaricing to even post them)

MONITOR: 36' SONY WEGA Flat Screen HDTV Monitor

RECEIVER: ONKYO DS575
DVD: Pioneer(God know's what model is this)

Center: BOSE VCS10
Fronts: BOSE 301 SERIES V
L/R Surrounds: fxi30
SUB: PLK PSW505

What part of the setup do you need help with?

Move the Bose to the bedroom and start looking into matching your fxi30's with some polk fronts and centers. Grab the RT70 and a 40 center and you'll be in heaven.

Center = Small
Fronts = Small
Surr = Small
Sub = On / Yes connected via LFE on the rec.

OR

Center = Small
Fronts = Large connected via speaker wire *through* the 505.
Surr = Small
Sub = Off / No

Cheers,

Add to Russ' rec's an Avia (or other) test disc and a Radio Shack analog SPL meter and you're on your way...

Multiple threads on both are all over the Forum...

howd u end up with the half polk half bose setup???

strange combo i think, maybe thats just me

TheMaster

A friend of mine gave me the (bose) front speakers. It was too late after I baught the bose center speaker when I fell in love with Polk. That's when I started to collect Polk speakers. I would like to replace them now but I'm on a tight budget right now.

TM - Ebay them, bite the bullet on the missing parts until you get money from auction....?? I know someone that may be interested in the center channel, Bose. Wanna sell?

dorokusai

You should be able to turn around the auction within 3 weeks, and be buying new Polk speaker in <1 month. Just a thought.

TheMaster

Thanks for the input Hbomb, I'll put those fronts and center speakers on my list.

I think I'll keep the bose for the garage or wherever .


P.S.

Been reading the threads in the hall of shame lately, I must say it's a bit scary for a newbie to see. Someone should consider editing them out of the forum to welcome more future members (just an thought :-) )

Thanks again guys...:D

Actually, I find them quite entertaining.

TheMaster

It was kinda entertaining for a while but some of them got too personal (not healthy for the forum's moral)

kberg

Agreed, those posts do get out of control, hence the reason for their ultimate Hall of Shame classification. But at least up until the point where they get real personal, they're usually good for a grin. On the other hand, it wouldn't bother me if the section were deleted altogether. On the third hand, Justin and Micah at least have to let those guilty soles know when to quit.
