In Reply to: Integrating HT into audio only setup. Wish me luck. posted by AbeCollins on March 04, 2003 at 18:17:10:
You are missing a very important component for AV, a good subwoofer, plus it will allow you not to work the stereo power too hard if you set the speakers to small and send the bass to the subwoofer, the same applies to the receiver powering the other channels...Another point is try to have all speakers at the same distance, I have mine about 10ī, so you donīt need any time delay processing...
You should have no problems with the center, but I would buy the D750, as more than 50% of info is from the center channel on DVDs, but then you would probably need better power there too...

I considered the Tannoy D750 center channel but that speaker is very large and expensive. My center channel will be the Tannoy S8c which still uses the same driver as my D500's (but in a cheaper enclosure). I have a REL Storm III sub that I will integrate into the H.T. setup. Unfortunately I cannot maintain the same distance from my listening position to the front vs rear speakers. The rear speakers will be much further back.I'm still waiting for the surround speakers to arrive. So far I have the receiver and DVD player installed and integrated with my tube amp (front mains only). I have a low-end Radio Shack speaker I put on the center channel just for fun until my other speakers arrive. I also placed my old bedroom 20" Mitsubishi TV in the system in order to display the setup screen menus for the receiver and DVD player (while waiting for the 34" TV to arrive).
I'll be spending the weekend drilling holes in the floor for the rear speaker cables that will come up from the basement level.
If you set all speakers to small with 80hz xover you shouldnīt have any problems. As I listen to CDs in surround DPLII, I prefer a lower 50hz xover, so I needed a better center, otherwise it wonīt matter as much...I would also try to place the center under the TV, instead of over it, (if you donīt do that already), I didnīt like the sound coming from well above the TV, felt a bit weird, about the distance, it is not a great problem, but it may help, maybe if you move the seat a bit back, or forward you will have the same distance, particullarly if you try SACD or DVD-A, they donīt have time alignement...
You have a good system, and I am sure you will be using your AV more and more, even if the sound is a bit worst, watching the players makes you pay less attention to it...
