I Want Better Sound...

[kajak]

its not the quantity but the quality of watts that matter depends on your buget!

1) If the receiver is so fantastic for music, hoccum you're looking in all the wrong places for a more musically pleasing experience?

2) If the speakers are so fantastic for music, hoccum you're looking in all the wrong places for a more musically pleasing experience?

3) What exactly do you mean by your specious goal of "better sound"? "Different" may be achievable by serendipity but "better" requires a direction in which to proceed.

4) You DO realize that a THX certification on speakers means they were tweaked for HT use, not music, right? ...big difference. http://www.digitalhomemag.com/review...bsectionid=959

5) I see from the specs on your receiver that it's rated @ 90 wpc into 8 ohms @ .08% distortion. I also see it's rated @ 110 wpc @ 6 ohms with no distortion figure stated. I have NO idea what it's doing at 4 ohms, either power or distortion wise. Do you? But, if you notice, as the impedance goes down, the power goes up ...and so does the distortion.

Someday you may come realize that the answers to some questions are what they are, not what you want them to be. But, I think that rather than taking the advice of others you'll have to spend a lot of money to realize that.

P.S . The Yamaha mention in my previous post was a light-hearted reference to your input in another thread but, even though that was pretty much spelled out with a smiley face, I see you didn't get that either.

I know that you're getting some conflicting responses so I'll clear it up for you. Disregard everyone in this thread with less than 300 posts. The ones with fewer than that have no idea what they're talking about.

I have fewer posts than that, but I might have around 300 in all the audio forums (fora ??) that I visit from time to time.

I'm not going to give you any advice. Maybe I wouldn't know what I was talking about. But that's because I spend most of my time listening to music and keeping my system in good tune rather than posting inane remarks on audio websites in order to reach the magic figure of 300.

True, but then again you shouldnt insult those who have more.

Now, not knowing your other posts, so far you're at least one inane remark in nine posts.

That's somewhere around an 11% inane ratio so far.

Now, you're free to offer some advice to the poster and, as is generally the case on this forum, I'm pretty sure it will be "judged" by the soundness of the advice moreso than the number of posts you have. ...and you just might drop your inane ratio by about 2%.

Seems you managed to take the time out for one right here. Keep up the good work, only 291 to go...

The simple point was, at the time of my post there were 2 posts with incorrect information. These were not simple differences of opinion, but wrong information. The conflicting reports created confusion were none was necessary. A quick check showed that people with very few posts were the culprits. At the point of my post on this particular thread my suggestion was pretty much spot on. It was clearly not meant as an indictment of every newcomer to the board.

You can go back to trying to keep your system in tune if you don't enjoy the board. Take care and enjoy your music.
