I am so excited! My new reciever and speakers are still in shipping.
I am very very new to HT and I'm an older guy so please be patient.
I have been using a 20 yr old 2 ch Yamaha setup for everything so far. After reading this board for the last week(very exciting) I decided to treat my family to some new stuff. I ordered a Pioneer1015 reciever, Pioneer 588 dvd player, Athena b1's and c1, and Dayton 12 subwoofer.(entry level for most of you, but top of the line for me)
Anyways, could you guys give me a basic rundown on setup? things like crossover, large- small, equilizing, etc.? I dont need techn. explanations, just a good starting point,procedure to set up my stuff to start enjoying it.
My sons play xbox alot, and we watch movies together, and my wife loves her cd's.
Give me a good starting point to set up my reciever when it comes in and I'll write it all down. To be honest, I'm not much of a tinkerer, so thats probably where it will stay. Thanks everyone and have a great Christmas!
