are any of those bundled or coiled up cables - digital fiber optic?
again just a thought, but if you have your fiber optic cables snuggled up, bent or anything you can loose information.Dodd - Battery Preamp
Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
Outlaw ICBM - crossover
Beringher BFD - sub eq
Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

one thing why is the whole thing on an angle and not flat against the wall with the clock only cause the spakers (mains) are really close to the walls?? the rest seem good do you always keep your blinds closed ?? the sun can damage the equip.
-
Can you show a more close up pic of the back of the amp, in particular the connection for the speakers at the amp.
-
i half too go to the doctors in 10 minutes so when i get back i can take more pics closer up. i will be back ond online with some more pics in two hours.
in regards to the digital fiberoptic cables yes they are bundled but very loosely just to keep them from hanging down around the reciever becasue of the heat.
and yes i do keep my shades shut at all times on that side of my home due to the neighbor is a pshyco and her friends are peeping toms.
i haveit cornered to give more air circualtion behind the HT and also their is a heat vent and air vent back their so during the summer when ihave the air on it keps the HT cool andduring the winter i have madea complet block out for heat togo back their so it does not get hot and a fan to circualte air.
see you al in two hours. -
IC no makes sense with the heat vent right there !!! nice job though... I aswell was concerned with the cable wound up like that but if you say it's loose then its cool

Bull,
I remember that you have bi-wired your RTi150's. So lets figure where your popping noise is coming from. Remove the RCA input's to the amp that is powering the RTi150's. I think you are powering the woofers with that right?

currently i am watching a movie that has alot of highs and lows and so far no popping since i change wires let see how it goes for the next couple hours and seeif i still get them.
question what would happen if i put my junction back on my speakers and still leave it biwired.(the gold plate on the terminals)
what would happen. -
If you have to set the room up that way, then this really doesn't matter much, but do you know how much sound quality you're losing by having that thing caty-cornered?
-
my front room is so big and oblong that if i do not have it this way i will lose sound quality for one and for 2 no one on the othe side of the living room can see the tv because of the big screen you can only see the tv picture at an angle of 33% to either side so having it cornered is my only solution.
-
If they are biWIRED I have HEARD that there should be no problem doing this from what should be a reliable source but I have no first hand knowledge ...
HOWEVER, you have your speakers biAMPED, don't you ? and that would cause a large problem.
The reason I wanted to see a close up of the speaker connects at the amp is that even in the smaller pic it looked like there were speaker cables coming from only PLUS ( RED ) terminals. I think you have the amp bridged, right ? and I'm not that familiar with that amp but it looks like they're connected correctly. -
I've got that same amp and am doing the same thing with my 150s. You've got the amp hooked up fine, no problem there...just make sure you're using the gain and switch for channel 1 on the back...
And yes, you're bi-amped, not bi-wired...
Hopefully my suspicion about the wires will be correct and your problem will be gone...
On, and DONT use those jumpers when bi-amping. I've not tried that and can't comment what exactly would happen, but I'm positive nothing good could come out of that... -
Your right it's Bi-amp'd not Bi-wired.
I think he is using the front amp on the AVR for the tweeter / mid. The other amp for the woofers on the RTi150's.

Yep...I think that's what we all suggested...Originally posted by disneyjoe7

I would not do that. While it seems like it would work fine, it just gives me an uneasy feeling. If he was using an active XO it'd be different.
I think it's pic #4:
I'm only kinda familiar with your amp. Is this a multi-channel that you have bridged, and are then using in conjunction with your AVR to bi-amp?Make it Funky!
-
If your bi-amped that was a bad suggestion on my part bud. My Bad but when I looked at it I thought you were just bi-wired.
Good catch guys.
