You can get a new one on Polk E-bay for $120, so if new $100 is a good price. If the speaker is used, I would personally scrape together the extra $20.

Welcome to Club Polk

The next step will probably be the AVR. You need to go to someplace and demo different manufacturers gear. They all sound different. Some people like Denon's sound, for...

I didn't say skipthe Monitor idea. I said skipthe idea of 1 Monitor and 1 TSI for your front stage, or anywhere for that matter. The TSI and Monitor lines have different sounds. Personally I prefer...

Polk E-Bay is run by Polk Audio.

They tend to stand behind their products, and customer service is great. I really don't see a down-side here.

I would skip the TSI/Monitor idea entirely.

I would say grab the CS2 off Polk E-Bay, and move the 50's to front duty.

If you want to stay with the Monitor line, buy a pair, and sell the...

Your NAD should be fine. AVR and amplifiers are 2 completely different animals when talking power. Amps have more realistic ratings

Could be just a business decision. Sub design is a little more complicated than cutting a hole in a box, and adding an amplifier.

Perhaps they simply think R&D money is better spent elsewhere....

It will power those speakers, but they could do with a little more power. Specs say 125 watts, but that would be 2 channels driven. Going up to 5 channels, you'll probably be closer to 90 watts or...

If you like yamaha, get an aventage series. Whatever brand you buy, make sure it has pre-outs. It will be listed in the specs. It's better to spend a few extra dollars now, because if you ever want...

I listened to the SC-65 on B&W CM08's, and it sounded great. It had no problem powering those speakers. I believe the audio specs are pretty close to the 67, and I side by side with the Yamaha...

Running the same combo here. After a whole lot of searching, decided on SVS PB-12 NSD. May want to give it a look.

Since you're just starting this system, I think you would probably want an integrated amp. That Adcom only supplies power, current. It doesn't send a musical signal, if that makes any kind of sense....

I wouldn't start spending money on an amp, just yet. I would suggest you listen to those 2 AVR's, an more if possible, to see which brand(s) you like. They all sound a little different, so that may...

Upper right corner. Sub in, white and red plug. Use one of those, not both.

Best to get a cheap pair if wire cutters, stripper better still, than using scissors.

We all hear things differently than others. You can take any brand you wish, compare every number on the spec...

When you upgraded your reciever, you also changed brands. Could be you just like Denons sound better than your Sony. I would probably think that is the difference you're hearing.

When your dealing...

If your bass seems overwhelming at times, then the volume is probably too high. I'm guessing that in certain parts of your room,it seems more pronounced than in another area. When that happens, we...

When using 2 outputs from the same AVR, it makes very little to no difference. Your AVR has only so much available power, and the more speakers you add, the less power per channel you add. So, if you...

If you're in a hurry, most any electronics dealers carry speaker wire and sub cables. A sub cable looks like a single RCA cable. In a pinch, you could even use an RCA cable, lust connect one strand...

Maybe a little better to explain how that cross over knob works. You currently have it set at 60 hz. That means your reciever will start sending the signal to the sub at the 60 hz freq. Your TSI's...

If I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about rate power ratings,weather it is speakers, or reciever.

If you like the Pioneer match-up with the TSI's, take your time and find a better vintage...

I say compromise. Board upthe window, paint the wall like an outdoor scene, maybe with a little blue bird sitting on a tree branch. Paint a window to frame it all in. Window is there, and no reason...

I would suggest you disconnect your outside speakers from the AVR, and see if it works properly. If you mave moistur in that volume box, that could explain the protection mode. Doesn't matter if you...

I'm running the 571 with A5's on a 5.1 setup. Similar AVR to the one you have. Can honostly say that I wouldn't run a 7.1 system with the A5's, let alone the A7's. Truthfully I get a little nervous...

Your sub is the only speaker that you can control the volume on, because it has it's own amp.

If you look at the extremes of your volume control on your sub, 2 not really good things can happen....
