Tried both, same results.

fyi: plugged the mac mini directly into the projector transmitter..no issues then.

So I got a Denon AVR-X2100W a few days ago. Works fine and getting use to the sound (coming from Marantz). I do seem to have some handshake issues though, and not sure if I can fix this. Already tried different cables, other hdmi inputs, difference sequences to power on devices. Nothing helps...

I followed the instruction by Audyssey. So set subwoofer volume at 50% (dial ponted at 12 o'clock), then let Audyssey do its thing and then set the LFE sub setting to 120hz (read that on the Audyssey forums). Crossovers are set at 60hz for the Center (A40) and 80hz for the L+R (A10). Subwoofer...

I have another question btw : when I set the powermode for the AW12 to "auto", the subwoofer seems very rarely switch on when needed. I have crossover set at 80hz so I suppose the sub should get a signal even when viewing normal tv or listening to some pop music. But it does not. When I put it...

Thanks, that clears it up a little. Coming from floorstanders, I of course understand the sub is there for a reason with satellites. It's just strange that I've read reviews raving about the bass performance of the A10 and A40, even read somewhere that a sub is not exactly needed. That's why I...

Thanks for the info. When I setup the receiver (Denon AVR-X2100W) with the Audyssey mic and use the sub, the speakers sound pretty good (a bit too much bass from the sub to my taste but ok). It's just that I was very surprised how hollow and lacking of bass the fronts L+R sound when using the...

everytime I post it says I am spam?? Any admins here? Btw, getting used to the Apex but one thing that bothers me a bit is the lack of bass on the a10 and a40 speakers. Reviews rave zbout that. Even setting them to "large" and disabling the sub just to test keeps them sounding hollow,and sharp...

Got the Denon setup now, works fine but can't say it's a massive difference compared to the much smaller Pioneer. It does however has a better gui, I suppose a bit more power and nice connections on the back. Too bad arc doesn't work ok with the Pio, kinda leaning towards it due to power usage...

Could be, but isn't a lower power receiver 'inadequate' at high volumes? Or am I wrong that for lower volumes a 200watt vs 100watt receiver should be about the same performance wise? That being said, today I should be getting a Denon AVR-X2100W receiver...

Will try that! I connected the a10's to my Yamaha stereo receiver just to check. Amazing difference in sound, the Apex a10 almost sounded as nice as my Canton Chrono floorstanders! Night and day difference when connected to the Pioneer!

main problem is that a different receiver can be max 35cm deep (more or less). I am using banana plugs with a 4mm speaker cable btw, could lower quality plugs have an influence on the audio quality making the speakers sound thinner than they are? I have them set as "small" in receiver settings...

The sub does kick in for low stuff yes, but it's mainly dialog which seemed pretty harsh/detailed when I have them set to "small". Not sure if this makes sense though. Any opinion on the receiver? Good enough or am I doing my apex speaker injustice with it?

New owner here, with a lot of questions. Let's start with this: - I own a Pio vsx-s510 receiver. Good enoug for the Apex 5.1 setup? They seem to sound a bit thin (almost too detailed) - Do I need to set them to large or small in receiver settings? Fronts and rears 4xa10, center a40, sub aw12...
