Re: My Home Cinema Setup

Big Boss dude i respect your opinions due to your serious set up so with a R250HD as centre what ya reckon..above or below TV, i have a carpet in room and will be 90 to 95 cm if below the TV with a oak TV cabinet below it aswell.  And what is your crossover set to on your amp and are all speakers set to small? Do you have a pure direct setting on your amp and what do ya reckon to it, cos i use it most of the time and am amazed at the difference when watching films.

Re: My Home Cinema Setup

Sorry.....I didn't read your message until now!


You can try placing the centre speaker both below & above the TV & see what sounds better. As you have a carpeted floor, you should be ok placing the speakers below the TV.


Yes, all my speakers are set to small. The Pure Direct setting is really good.......I usually use it while listening to music only though. I thought you couldn't use it with movies, because the video circuit of the receiver is shut down in pure direct mode Confused
