receiver keeps shutting off

[sdifox]

well I think you are expecting too much from your speakers. 0.625" inch tweeter and 4" woofer and you cannot expect really loud. I am assuming you are running KLH HT-9900.


Increase the crossover to say 100Hz and see if that helps.

 

[Durvelle27]

yes.. should the crossover and dynamic range be changed ?

what will be a good 5 speaker set not over $200

Quick question. Does the sub have an amp built into it? As in do you need to plug the sub into the wall socket?

 

[Durvelle27]

yes the sub has a built in amp this is it YAMAHA YST-SW216BL

 

[sdifox]

so try setting the crossover to 100Hz on the receiver and see how it works. I am assuming on the sub you set crossover to highest frequency and just let receiver handle it right?

 

[Durvelle27]

yes

 

[sdifox]

and I would save up longer to spend more than 200 on speakers. They last a long time so there is no reason not to get decent ones.

these are 150 each.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882290203

140 for the pair

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882290211

70 for the centre

or upsize to this centre

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882290213

for 120

they go on sale regularly. Decent speakers.

or 3 pairs of the 140 a pair ones, you can use identical speakers for all 5 channels and have 1 spare.

that's gonna be long long lol ?

 

[Durvelle27]

Does the speakers distance matter because that's an option to ?

 

[sdifox]

that's gonna be long long lol ?

My speakers are 13 year old... going strong still.

 

[Durvelle27]

wow that's long

 

[sdifox]

That is important for delay. In essence you set the actual distance from your seat to the speaker, not the length of the speaker wire. But it has nothing to do with your receiver giving up.

 

[sdifox]

wow that's long

They also cost me 7000 :awe:

 

[Durvelle27]

ok thx ?

 

[sdifox]

ok thx ?

You don't need to spend 7000 for good sound.

 

[Durvelle27]

You don't need to spend 7000 for good sound.

lol i could get a new car with that ?

 

[Durvelle27]

whats the dynamic range mean ?

 

[sdifox]

lol i could get a new car with that ?

new used car perhaps

 

[sdifox]

whats the dynamic range mean ?

dynamic range compression is used for nights when you don't want to disturb your neighbours.

 

[Durvelle27]

oh ok ?

 

[Durvelle27]

Just reviving this thread as i'm still having these problems. I don't think i set it up right. Just changed imp from 8 to 6 for my new speakers

 

[Rifter]

Ok i just read this i missed it last time, but i think you are just expecting to much from your small speakers.

I have a simple 2 channel setup with a HK 3490 reciever and 2 Polk Monitor 70's(large tower speakers) and if i set the volume to -5 i would be shaking pictures off my walls and my TV would be waving back and forth between them.

I usualy listen at -40 for moderate volume and -25 or -30 when i want to crank it up. -5 seeems like insane loud to me.

I believe your issues would be solved if you purchased some larger speakers as it seems thats what you are going to need for the volume levels you are trying to obtain. I highly reccomend the Polk Monitor 70's if you are looking for some tower speakers. They are a great full range speaker that properly driven will providy loud clean sound up to ear bleeding volumes, i dont even miss not having a sub(i live in a apartment though, would get a sub if i was in a house)

i actually did replace the old speakers as i found out they weren't 8ohm they were 3ohm

What new speakers are you talking about?

From what I can tel in this thread you were using KLH HT-9900 speakers
They are rated at 10W nominal, 100W max, no wonder your receiver is shutting down.
http://www.ebay.com/ctg/KLH-HT-9900-Speaker-System-/69603561

What speakers are you using now, I mean brand, model numbers, power handling capabilities including nominal and max wattage, impedance, etc. The more details the better.

And to repeat what somebody has already said in here, you speaker wire size would NOT cause this type of problems. However a shorted speaker cable would and the speaker connected to it would not work.
