what a huge difference it made to the onkyo sr603x i had, i loved the onkyo but something was missing for my logans, def. a huge difference, the martin logans sound soo much more alive and the same for my B&W 600s3, one question to start though, somewhat lost with all the crossovers, i set the crossover for the sub at 80, and the same for the fronts and center, does this seem like a good place to start? the manual for the ML Montage says they go down to 40hz and i think around 50 for the B&W so should i set those crossovers to match or keep them a little higher? i know its mostly what sounds best and works best but theres a few more setup options on this rotel than there was on the onkyo

Welcome to the club!
80hz for everything is a good start. Keep in mind the crossovers are not a brick wall, but a gradual slope from the set point. So if you feel the bass is a little boomy, try lowering the fronts to 60hz. You'll want your fronts to blend into the sub rather then the sub over-powering them, but you don't want to lose bass information either.

alright ill have to try that, just have to wait to watch a movie, also for the setup menus, do you have to have it on a tv or can it go through the display on the receiver?Comment

also is their a way to dim and brighten the display on the receiver? i think i need the idiots guide to your new rotel, i feel like this this thing is smarter than me lolComment

Setup menus have to go through a TV. You can't dim the display, but you can turn it off temporarily. Just hold down the OSD/Menu button for about 5 seconds.

I was planning on using an RSX1057 as a processor with an RMB1077 hooked up to a pair of B&W 804s and a HTM3s. Orignally I thought I would biamp and biwire the L and R fronts using 4 channels of the RMB1077 while using the remaining 3 channels to drive the center and back surrounds.

Just thought that I would post that I replaced my Denon 3808CI with this new Onkyo Pro PR-SC5508P.
I also moved from RCA's to XLR's in the upgrade.
I did my "Phase I" and installed it last night. Phase II will be the Audyssey calibration (probably tomorrow when... -
Hi All,
I've had my HT setup for a few years now based around an Onkyo 787 receiver. Due to extensions being completed at my home, in the next few weeks I will be added a projector (infocus 5700) and replacing my existing speakers with Jamo THX D6LCR fronts / centre and D6 SUR for a 7.1 THX setup... -
