Matching speakers to Yamaha receiver

stgeorge602

Hello,

I'm new to home theater and took the plunge and bought a receiver with speaker for a 5.1 set up. The receiver is a Yamaha RX-A760. The speakers are Polk Audio: CS10, 2 TSi100 (surround), 2 TSi400 and PSW505. These will all play nice together, correct? From the research I've done it seems like they would.

Yeah, you did good. For movies, be sure to set your crossover for 80hz to take some of the load off the avr and you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm guessing the crossover setting is done in the receiver menu? Haven't gotten that far into the receiver specs.

Yes do that, but....you may still need to tweek some settings to your preferences. When running the auto calibration, some things need to happen first.

The mic needs to be at ear level in your listening position. If that's a couch 10 feet away, stack some books, boxes, or what have you to get that mic to ear level on the couch.

The house/apt. your in needs to be dead quiet. No kids running around, dogs barking, lawn mowers/snow blowers going in the back ground. No appliances kicking on like furnaces or fridges, AC, washers and dryers. You also need to remove yourself from the room as you'll get in the way of the sound waves it's measuring.

Do those things and you should get a fairly accurate calibration. If not, you can always tweek it a bit yourself to your liking manually.

I place the Mic on this;

Thanks for all the replies. Wow, didn't know the auto calibration was that sensitive. I did auto calibrate when I first set it up but I put the mic on my head and I'm sure there was other ambient noises that may have caused some interference. I will re-calibrate with your suggestions.
