Yes, it is true, the Sunfire Processor II has an internal crossover adjustable between 80Hz and 120Hz while the newer Sunfire went down to 40Hz. BTW, to bypass the the LFE input, the subwoofer mode on the processor is set at "off" and of course the front mains are set at "large". It seems it...
Main speakers: reQuest
Processor: Sunfire Theater II
Center: Mirage: OM-C2
Surround: Montage
I listen to stereo music most of the time so I want the two-channel to work at its best. I play DVD movies also, therefore this is a 2-channel/multi-channel system.
I initially connected the subwoofer...
Speaker is Fixed, loosening soldering
Hammered the rails off and found the blue wire is detached from the panel soldering point, resoldered it back and the speaker works like a charm again. Thanks Roberto! You are absolutely right about the connection problem.
Panel Refuses to Play
Thanks. I tried vacuum but it did not work. I tapped on the panel from top to bottom, the noise is going, going and gone, completely gone. Rehooked, panel refuses to produce any music while the woofer works fine.
Left speaker makes sizzling noise. This started suddenly when the HT system was turned on. I turned off the HT system, but the noise would not go away. I disconnected the speaker, unplugged the powered cord and replugged it, the panel started sizzling again. Waited about 30 minutes, replugged...
I am new to Sunfire, if each channel has max power rating of 200w, then what is the power rating for the voltage and current outsource respectively? One member mentioned powering the woofer with the voltage and panel with the current from the same channel, I wonder, in this case, how is the...
I am tempted to try the biamplification with an active crossover. The biamp is passive with ReQuest as it is difficult to bypass the internal crossover but my next experiment is using an active crossover with frequency set at 280 Hz to match that of the ReQuest's. I am not sure it this can be...
Thanks for the help. I am glad I have found this site. Currently I am using the ReQuest as stereo speakers. I have experimented it with bi-amping since it has separate posts for the woofer and panel (apparently, this is not the absolute or active bi-amping) but I feel I they sound cleaner. I am...
RE: equality of power to all 5 channels, big deal?
I am about to switch to 5-channel HT. Amp is Sunfire Cinema Grand (225x5). I want the main speakers (Request) to be biamped, with one channel left for the center, however, my concern is that it is essentially impossible for front, center and...
