Thanks for the pics. I say just get the speakers you want (#1), and then experiment, experiment, experiment. You will get a good familiarity with the setup, and then you start to bring in treatments, and once again, experiment, experiment, experiment. I like fancy electronics as much as the next guy, but I personally don't drop coin on that stuff until I can do as much as I can in getting the speakers I want, and the treatments that I...

Ive decided on the UPA-2. Ive totally blown my budget on speakers (PSB platinum T8). I hope its enough power, however I can use it for surrounds or center channel in the future if I find a need to upgrade power (XPA-2 in the future if necessary). Im excited to get this system going in a few weeks!

Congrats on the new receiver! That's a nice one.

An external amp should give you less distortion at higher volume levels. If you crank your pioneer up enough that the sound is harsh or things don't sound right, you may be experiencing clipping. An external amp would help this. At a max budget of $250 it might be tough to find a solution. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in with recommendations. Outlaw and Emotiva are two ...

Not sure who provides the warranty. When I was placing the order he first tried to sell me a THX HDMI cable. I told him no. However, one of my questions was the warranty and if it was a refurb. He said it was brand new but told me there was no warranty only if you buy from pioneer or authorized shop. Those come with a 2 year standard warranty.
He looked up my zipcode and said that the ...

I'm surprised you're clipping as the 2700 has a good amp section and those CV's are very sensitive. Are you sure there isn't a short at the speaker terminals?
In any case, if you're looking for gobs of power, I would look at the Behringer and Yamaha pro amps. A couple other options are a 2-channel, class AB amp from Emotiva or 2-channel, class D amp from D-Sonic.

Welcome to the forum!
According to the owner's manual for the RX-V1000, the speakers will be shut off if you plug in headphones. You have some options, though: If you want the Logitech's to be controlled by the volume control on the Yamaha, you could connect the Logitech's using the pre-amp outputs on the back of the Yamaha.
If you don't care about controlling the volume of the Logitech's ...

I thought you were gonna forget about auto-setups.. I also thought you did find it and was confused about how it set your db's up? Either way.
In all seriousness, I don't care for the auto-cal stuff. Every time i try it, I end up changing something anyways. That said, the receivers you are looking at are nice and I'll never steer anybody away from spending money on audio gear ...

This question is best answered by you. Is connecting HDMI to the display OK with you or would you like HDMI switching? Do you want the Dolby Digital HD sound formats? You can't get either of these with the 307.
A new AVR will be able to switch HDMI and (most of them) can decode DD HD and DTS HD audio formats over HDMI. Your 307 isn't that old - it should have optical/coax input ports - those ...

Hi mibson those PSB's look very nice.
I have had a Emotiva MPS-1 for a couple of years and I have been happy. It is not to say it has been a trouble free relationship. I have recently had one channel in the amp not turn off when using the trigger. (the mps-1 is modular) I have sent it back and it was repaired and sent back one week from when they received it. If the problem is taken ...

3 component in on a receiver seems really hard to come by. I would like to keep my price at 450 or less. Ideally the receiver would have 3 hdmi and 3 component. The only entry level receiver I have found with 3 component in is the Yamaha RX-V365 from this audioholics 2009 best entry level receiver thread.
Problem is the receiver only does video over hdmi and has only 2 hdmi connections. ...

Tim,
I believe you will get a better response if you go ahead and say what speakers you have and what you feel is missing from your current sound.
I'm not qualified to answer your question directly but I can say that the replies will likely put emphasis on speakers (as you expected) and improvements to room acoustics as the two most significant influences on sound quality.

Check out this thread on the Integra DHC-80.1 that is essentially the same processor. RMK (the OP) has quite a bit of experience with a previous model the 9.8 and has used both the analog and HDMI connections.
I have the 885 now and will be either upgrading to the SC5507 or the yet to be released emotiva top of the line processor.
I found the REON to be the best scaler of non HD ...
