I've owned a set of Polk RM67XX/404 for awhile now, but changing out the amp to the H/K 247. Current AVR (old JVC) have wired my fronts into the 404 sub - wondering if anyone has any quick setup tips if they have the same or very similar AVR?

Have heard good things using H/K, looking forward to it...just want to start off right and any help is appreciated...

Cheers

    Hey there,

    I own an AVR 247 as well. I am in love with this amp for sure. I have hooked up my RTi8's, CSi5, and FXi3's through the amp rather than doing circuitry through the sub. I find that this is a simple and very effective way of driving thee speakers. I'm sure yours will be similar.

    Hook your speakers up, run EZSet EQ and you're off to the races.

    :)
    I think Bananas are awesome fruit.

    Yeah, I would hook you sub up to the LFE / Subwoofer Preout with a subwoofer cable / RCA cable, run the other speakers directly to the corresponding HK speaker output, run EZEQ a couple times, make sure your crossovers are set correctly, and you should be good to go.

    Thanks much for the replies - that's 3-0 in favour of wiring direct to the amp + LFE - will give it a shot.
