Recommended receiver for HT

I would suggest, advise, and recommend you ignore cleeds, who is like an oozing, fetsering boil on this cite. However if you do not think that it is possible to achieve genuine, accurate, defined stereo bass than you are not working with properties. All audio components have properties and if you do not understand them you are building, assembling, and installing you're Music Reproduction System by trial and error which is virtually assured to result in unpredictable, unsatisfactory, unintended results and this can be show to all who have experienced Tru-Fi. However to be truly successful in the implementation of Tru-Fi you must also account for ICSS which is especially important when working with subwoofers or any full range speaker capable of accepting, reproducing, and delivering natural, genuine, authentic low frequencys. The fatal flaw in Tru-Fi is this failure to understand, accept, and account for ICSS factor which varies based on room, sound treatments, and of course the speakers themselves.

Huh?

noble100 "Huh?"
I applaud, congratulate, and commend you for asking a question hear about something that you do not fully and completely understand and pursuing, exploring, and studying the qualitys, nature, and application of Tru-Fi is certain to result in you achieving a more realistic Music Reproduction System although I must advise, caution, and inform you that their are practitioners of Tru-Fi who do not fully understand or comprehend how it should be implemented, utilized, and applied and in particular the failure to account for ICSS factor is a limiting shortcoming that will prevent you from fully benefiting from Tru-Fi.

Hello clearthink,

      I hope your user name is indicative of your actual cognitive functioning and you'll be able to communicate more effectively than cleeds.
     Unfortunately, I believe we've gotten off to a poor start based on your first two posts addressed to myself.  You mention Tru-Fi as if it's commonly known in your last post.  I had no idea of what Tru-Fi refers to so I googled it. My search resulted in a company named Tru-Fi that apparently makes various electric guitar pedals with model names such as Zosa Fuzz, Suppa Fuzz and Colordriver.
     I'm fairly sure you're not referring to these, so I'm requesting you clarify exactly what you're referring to or just provide a link to a site that explains things.

Thanx,
  Tim

I connected the Ayre KX-5 to the Velodyne SMS-1 via a balanced Y cable. The fourth order crossover is set at 80 Hz; the level is set so I’m not aware of the Velodyne HGS-10 & 15 as sound sources, and the double bass is not overdone with a Bill Evans trio track, but when a pedal note of the Reiner reading of Saint-Seans 3rd comes along the vibration can be felt. For some reason I don’t really understand, the depth of the sound stage seems enhanced as well. I listen to a lot of jazz and baroque, and, although cognitive dissonance is too strong to imagine a large orchestra in the room, I can easily imagine a trio or quartet in the room -- I’ve heard enough recitals to know the sound well.

I had intended to connect the Bryston SP3 to the SMS-1 for surround -- the SP3 provides nice surround setup capabilities. but if the KX-5 is used in bypass mode, both it and the SP3 shouldn’t be sending a signal to the SMS-1. I haven’t got this figured out.

Tim, I’ll try to take the other HGS-15 in for repair next week.
