    Acoustic Research AR-s1000 series 5.1 speakers system

    Naughty, yes they are the same except that they are burnt cherry in colour. The pic shows them as 8 ohms but they are actually 4 ohms? Which site did you get the pic from? Were there any reviews? Avi, where did you see prices for them and what was it?

    XLR Sub inputs?

    Looking at the link, no I dont have xlr connectors/inputs. I have a mono rca output on the receiver and two rca (L & R) on the subwoofer. My question is if it is better to wire the subwoofer to the receiver's main speaker outputs or just use a y-splitter from the mono rca sub output to the L &...

    XLR Sub inputs?

    My AR sub-1000 has two rca inputs (L & R), is this what they call XLR inputs? My receiver though, only has 1 sub output, do I just use a splitter on the sub cable from the receiver to the sub or would it be better to connect the sub via the main L & R speaker outputs and connect to the high...

    Speaker upgrade

    Installed the crossovers, drivers and tweeters (cap removed) connected to the crossover, midrange connected directly to input terminals with cap left on. A little bit better bass, but midrange and tweeters still sounding the same. Think I'll leave it on for now and not drive the speakers to...

    Speaker upgrade

    Atjan, I wanted to buy the Sony receiver and sub alone but the seller did not want to, hence me selling the wharfies. Never did I think that the sonys would be such a dissapointment. They will have to do for now, until I can get my hands on another set. Did the bracing, dog blankets and new...

    Speaker upgrade

    Clown, I replaced the Wharfedale's 25mm tweeters (blown) with the jbl's bigger 50mm? tweeters and they were sounding fine in the Wharfedales. The tweeters in the sonys is also 25mm, do you mean that the signal from the jbl's crossover could be to strong for the smaller tweeters?

    Speaker upgrade

    Hi Naughty, Thanks for your reply, yeah, I thought it wouldn't be that easy. I wil see tomorrow what type / size the filters is and try and make a diagram for the wiring. I guess it wouldn't do harm in trying it? It would just be a matter of unplugging the wires from the sony's input terminals...

    Speaker upgrade

    Hi Here is my situation, I recently traded my old HK AVR15 receiver and Wharfedale Atlantic 5.0 series speakers for an Sony STR-DE698 receiver + 7.1 speaker set (ssmf-650h towers + 4 surrounds = sa-wm500 active sub). I found the towers very poor in comparison to the Wharfedales. I opened them...
