Thank tou for your time on this video, well done. When you included the measurements that was awsome. I was worried it would too big for my space, but its more than enough room to fit. Thanks.

Hello Mr. Great setup. I've just bought ONKYO TX-NR6100. Now I have to collect $ for Klipsch speakers :) Do you maybe know if there is any option to have passthrough (when receiver is OFF/standby) and NOT to turn it ON when I power on TV or Chromecast ? I have this problem that turning on TV or other source triggers Onkyo 6100 and it powers up. During a day I would like to use only TV speakers and turn receiver on only when I need. Of course I can disable HDMI CEC but then other problems occur.
I just bought one and i already hate it. Its stuck in headphones mode even when there not connected. Garbage. Hope the replacement is not Garbage. What a waste of time and money.
My old Sony STR-DB1070 amp is giving more and more the error message "Protector", and this has something to do with a 'short' or something. There is not much connected to this amp, only an optical audio cable from my computer and attached to it are two Mivoc SB210 tower speakers. After a few times turning the amp on and off it stays on and then works fine. But since this amplier is brought out in 2002 or so, it is already 20 years old. What I seek is a powerful hifi amp/receiver that really can feed my Mivoc SB210 speakers. These speakers are pretty massive and can practically move walls. Would this Onkyo amp also suffice to feed enough power for these speakers? The label on the backside of the speaker say 4-8ohm (is a bit confusing, because I would say a loudspeaker has just one level of impedance/resistance), but the Mivoc SB210 has two 25cm (or 10") woofers, so they are either 8ohm woofers put parallel, making the speaker 4ohm, or 2 woofers of 4ohm put in serial and turn the whole speaker in 8ohm. It's a little confusing.
I have 6 KLH speakers and a KLH center speaker that I have used almost 20 years through many Sony and ONKYO receivers. The company died and is now being brought back as a high priced speaker!
Currently I have RX V2400 which is 7.1 set up. How do I connect Onkyo 7.2 speakers to my current 7.1 set up so that I don't have to buy extra atmos speakers.
I am thinking about the same setup with R100sw. So please tell how is the sound experience u r getting. What if i use r41m at front and back too? Have you tested 4k ps5 120 gaming on tx nr6100?
I got 4 of these for 144 us dollars on a sale for my gaming pc, shit bumps hard, I think it even sounds louder then my living room I got a 15'' and 12'' same brand. Good choice man.
I think that we are going to return it. We've had frustrating issues with trying to playback usb music files. It should not be this difficult. Streaming is good, video is very good but, hubby has put in many hours over the past two weeks trying to get this beast to give us our background music.
So what is your opinion on that AVR? I'm considering two right now. This one and the Denon 2700. Onkyo is THX certified but the Denon got the beloved Audyssey. Which one do you recommend?
@@hecssceh5556 ah ok. When I look at the stats it's only 5 watts more. The reason I'd buy the Onkyo is for the THX certificate and maybe bc chrome cast is built in, but I probably won't be using that much. But I heard that the calibration is not good at all. Onkyo uses AccuEQ and the Denons Audyssey is said to be really good. So that's my dilemma. So pretty much I'd buy the Onkyo for the certificate.
Bro you forgot the sound test😂 But it doesn't matter for me tho...I have 2x R12SW for more than 5 years now and they still kickig out clean and deep bass. 0 issues. I even eq'd them so they play lower than their advertised spec. In my listening spot they hit as low as 27hz, but when i move to another spot in the house they hit 24hz easily, even 20hz very audible and shakes the entire appartment. Sub volume knobs are at 10 'o clock, sub(s) volume in the receiver is at -11 (out of a [-15] to [+12] scale) I almost pee'd my pants when i was testing 20hz, because the TV or it's wall mount started to rattle at some point. Image suddenly hearing a loud metallic rattle sound from your TV👀😭🤣 Just be carefull not to overdrive them or anything. But even that seems impossible to do because they (and like almost any active subs) have built in limiters and protection. For me, they are a great value!
I have a pair of these in my man cave/office/personal space too. This is in a detached building in a rural area so bothering the neighbors isn't an issue. I run my PC audio through my AVR amp. I don't game a lot but I run web audio and FLAC music via WinAmp and a couple DSP plugins. Also my EMBY server, a FireStick and a DVD/Blu-Ray player. (EMBY just works out for me better than PLEX). It's a small space so I've got it set up for 5.2.2 (handles ATMOS fine in that space) and I'm very happy with these Klipsch R12SWs. I picked up a pair of vintage 1970's era Cerwin-Vega R-12s a couple years back and rebuilt them. So I have four 12 inch cones firing in a 12'W x 19'L room with two theater seats and a commercial popcorn maker. I set the R-12's as 'small' and bottom them at 60 Hz so those 12 inch cones are basically really big mids and the Klipsch R12SWs handle the deep base. It tooks some fiddling with levels and the para EQ but I finally got it dialed in real good and for not a terrible lot of money. I can't afford and don't want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on my audio gear. I have a lot of other interests that cost money too. I'm nowhere near what a dedicated audiophile would probably consider a "good system" but then I'm not a dedicated audiophile. These R12SWs fit the bill just great for someone like me.
@@acts9531 I'm actually jealous of your "no neighbours" situation 😂 I'm looking at Dolby Atmos speakers for a while now. The ones that you can put on top of your existing speakers. My receiver is capable of running a 5.2.4 setup, so this idea keeps floating in my head. My space is really tiny but this will fit perfectly without any hassle🤔 Anyway, enjoy your set-up! 😁
@@AwinashGuptar Thanks. You have to make your own decisions of course but ... I've tried those bouncy ATMOS speakers you're talking about and I took them back. I mounted "height presence" speakers on the ceiling/wall junction pointed towards my central sound stage (main listening position) and I like those a LOT better. They're just regular speakers, not "ATMOS" speakers but the ATMOS channel plays through them just fine. That way you get direct firing sound and don't have to dink around with timing, ceiling material composition, levels that match out well with everything else, etc. Plus you can put as good or not speaker there as you want to. You're not limited by what will go with the speakers you have. I found some old but pretty dang good Insignia (Best Buy's house brand) speakers and installed mounts on them. The speaker cases on those is triangular so they snug right up in the corner between wall and ceiling perfectly. If you're willing to fiddle around with the equalizer settings and other adjustments in your amp/AVR you can get anything dialed in pretty good. *_Despite what the dedicated audiophiles will tell you._* Remember, if you can get 95% of what a dedicated audiophile calls "good" at a tenth of the price or less -- You're doing very well. Like I said, you gotta figure out for yourself what you want out of your system, and what you want to spend on it. This is just me relating my experience in my environment.
@@acts9531 I know the best way is mounting speakers on/in the ceiling, but I don't think my upstairs neighbors will like that 😂 I pretty much have neighbours on almost every side + this one room appartment is really small. Moving to another place sounds like a better deal to me at first 😄That's why adding more stuff doesn't feel like the right thing to do for now. Interesting story: It still amazes me that my neighbours right now can't hear any of my music while I'm enjoying deep AF bass and high quality sound😂 the weird thing is that I can hear them blasting their TV speakers if they do... I just listen at normal (you can still talk without yelling) levels with HQ sound compared to those screaming TV's/Bluetooth speakers. Sometimes I like to listen a little louder when I have people over while we're listing to music. Like kitchen stuff and doors rattling levels sometimes... But still, my neighbours can't hear me 🤔😂
@@AwinashGuptar I don't know that mounting the speakers high on the wall near the ceiling but pointed down is going to be any more noticeable to your neighbors than firing speakers directly *_AT_* the ceiling would be. By aiming them directly at your listening area you can get the same perceived volume at a lot lower real volume setting. I'm not talking about in-ceiling speakers BTW, I just got some speakers and mounted them where they would work best but ... Being as you live in an apartment maybe making holes in the walls would be prohibitive. I own this building, it's a converted detached garage 100 yards behind my house. When I set it up to be my office/man cave etc. I put 5/8ths inch OSB (Oriented Strand Board, sort of like really dense plywood) on the interior walls instead of sheet rock. It's a lot more sturdy for one thing, I live where a hurricane is a possibility so I wanted this building and everything in it to survive in the event of a storm strike. For another thing, it's mine and it is sturdy as hell so I can put holes in the walls all I like. The walls are mostly covered in light gray indoor/outdoor carpet so the holes don't show anyway. The rest of the interior is finished nicely high tech and and being an old geezer the walls are covered with shelves and a lifetime of mementos. This and the carpet has the effect of rendering this room acoustically anechoic for the most part. Not completely anechoic, but enough that I don't have problems with phase bounces. You might be a lot younger than me, I'm an old retired phart. A few years back when it was clear as time went on I'd be doing more sitting and less walking I decided to set this building up for a higher quality of entertainment. Being as I don't get around so great anymore I figured I might as well have a decent home theater and music listening set up. Not audiophile grade by any means but it's still the best audio gear I've ever owned. I can hear things in video and music I never knew was there before. You do what's best for you, what's best for me may not be the same thing at all. You probably have years and years ahead of you to get where you want to be, do what you want to do and have what you want to have. There's nothing wrong with compromise until then and even then you don't have go go full audiophile to get good sounding stuff.
Me too I tried hooking up a marantz amp to it using the russound preout system and it came across check amp then it did a checking speaker test then it shut itself down so I disconnected the marantz amp and it was fine again...any thoughts?
