I must disagree with the marks toward HK reliability. I have owned 2 HK recievers in my life. The 140 and the 330 both are 7 and 5 years old respectively. And in all of that time, neither reciever...

OK.
I have run Audyessy.
Front L/F set to Full Band
Surrounds set to 80hz THX
no subwoofer

Measured distances for each speaker to 1st listening position with a tape measure. I have adjusted...

Ok, recieved an email from Monster Sound confirming my 600HD cable as 1.3 compliant. woot.

Not exactly, smart guy.
My 805 was new in the box. The customer service was helpful, curteous, and knowledable. I had an easier time getting what I wanted from CC this trip then Best Buy.

Hi :) This is a new thread relaying information taken from my older thread asking about new reciever selections. Since that thread is long, I felt the questions I have now on my new 805 would not be...

here are the details.

Q: Did you run Audyssey?
A: No.
Q: How are your crossovers set?
A: 80hz THX. LFE/Sub is turned off.
Q: What did you set your 805's speaker impedance control to?
A:...

Just got my 805 setup.
Driving Polk RTi10 and Polk CSi5.
Using Poltergeist TrueHD 5.1

And this reciever does not seem to drive my RTi10's any harder then my older 55watt Harman Kardon 330.
...

Yes, yes... monster cable. *flame suit on*

I have a monster cable 600HD. Purchased one year ago.
Model 600HD is not listed anywhere on the Monster Cable website.
As a matter of fact, the models...

Not what I meant :)
I just remember them fondly... guess my text came out differently then what I had pictured in my mind.

OK, so its vynal.

My experience with Circuit City diverges a bit from those listed in the thread.
I had a great experience today. Purchased an Onkyo 805. Exemplory customer serivice. Really. I searched the Onkyo...

Alright, I am back. I am back and with a new reciever in hand.
I chose the... *drumb roll* Onkyo 805 :cool:

Purchased at the Bloomington, Il Circuit City for under $600 in retail box.

bwahaha! sex sandwhich :) good one
Its great to have these experiences; they are want we got into home theatre for in the first place.

Hi :) Welcome to Polkie land!

For surrounds, do not use full towers. Instead use surrounds mounted up on the walls or on speaker stands. Because the towers are infact towers, the projected sound...

I remember the SL40 well enough to be sure that the3 weight and construction of the cabinet were heavy. Thick sides and a good center of gravity.

oh, why did I burn them!?!
:(:confused::o

Why would you say that?

The only speaker I've personally owned that deserved immolation w as a KLH HTIAB. I returned this product after 3 days of ownership.

In the days before I became a Polkie, I was big into Infinity.

My first pair of speakers were Infinity SL40. Beautiful finish, solid wood vineer. My reciever of the time was an older Technics....

Good Atrium is.... :cool:

Polk, I love you for these speakers. The swivel-bracket mount saved the freakin day.

Thank you! :cool:

You... don't believe me? You WILL, Dr. Jones. You will become a true believer!

Looks like a stick insterted into the floor with a discus mounted ontop.
