    Bentley acoustics RF-2 help

    The amp/receiver can wait for now. I'm aiming to build a 5.1.2 system. Then will look at upgrading receiver.

    Just an update. After letting the speakers play music during the day for a couple days. The highs are less shrill and sibilant. The mids are also getting warmer. The settings recommended by @Dreamerm6 has given a little boost to volume and a better balance overall. The receiver probably is a...

    I'll give this a go this afternoon. I haven't set up the rears yet as I have to run the cables through my ceiling. Not going to be a quick install.

    I understand this but should it still be outperformed by a little R3000 speaker? I was watching a movie last night at -8db. When I was recording speaker levels with an app on my phone (not sure how accurate these are.) Dialogue scenes were at about 45db. The action scenes went up to 72db. The...

    Yes. I marked the cables with a strip of insulation tape to make sure I don't get it wrong. I used 12 AWG cable from a brand called Dixon. Not sure what the quality is like with these cables

    Even when I stream movies it's not sounding great. I have to put the volume to -15db to have it comfortably audible. It's really not loud. Is it possible pioneer receiver has an issue?

    Even when playing straight from receiver it didn't sound right. I only used BT as it was the only way I could A/B test at the time.

    I connected the centre channel just to play around with. When I set the receiver to extended stereo. The towers sound way more balanced. Obviously some of the source is being sent to centre channel but if I put my ears near the towers, They sound way less muffled and more direct. I think the...

    I was A/B testing over Bluetooth. So the edifier was not connected to receiver. Which should also have given the RF-2 an advantage as it was over aptx. Edifier over SBC. I was also thinking something might have happened during shipping. I couldn't see any chios, dents or scratches on the...

    I did use the spikes and placed speakers onto a veld mat as to not scratch the wooden floors. Do you know of anyone in the Durban area that might be willing to help?

    Hello Everyone Newbie to the forum I have had a pair of edifier R1280DB for a while that I had been using in my lounge for a few years. I had been saving up so that I can upgrade to a home theatre set up. I saw a deal for a combo set up for: Receiver: Pioneer VSX 935 7.2 Front speakers...
