Always wanted one!

Well then the path is clear

Had mine since '97 and have put 100K miles on her.  Each one a blast..  One of the most reliable cars I have ever owned.  Only let me down twice and they were really my fault.  No complaints.

Hey NickT, what is your Avatar picture? Looks very Porsche-like to me. ?

Good eye!

She is my '88  928 S4 .  Still a blast to drive!

Great picture.  Next step curtains.

Yea I have been looking around but want a particular shade of red and also weight of the curtain.  The carpet will also change to something darker.  Lowe's actually has "Home Theater" carpet.

Here is the main room, still a work in progress.

Been listening to "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" by the Alan Parsons Project.  This was their first effort and one of their best, in my humble opinion, followed very closely by "I Robot"

Picked up the Pure Audio Version remastered by the man himself.

"Fall of the House of Usher" is just amazing in 5.1!!!

Check your cable connection to that channel. Are you using RCA or XLR’s? I would swap out cables first and see if it’s a connection issue. It sounds like a capacitor discharge of some sort. NaHash can assist you at Nelion Audio. 

I have replaced all the cables with brand new ones, so not that.  I agree, to me sounds like a cap discharge. 

I do plan on doing a "re-cap" at some point, but for the near term I am just going to enjoy it

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, much appreciated.

I'll post some pics very soon, probably tomorrow.

Thanks DrummerJuice, I do have the manual.

Hey All,

New user here.  I just picked up a Cinema Grand Signature 400-5 a few days ago to add to my current 7.1 system.  I have been idly looking for a Carver / Sunfire power amp and just happened to come across this unit at my local HiFi store as a trade in.  Needless to say I walked out the door with it.

Beautiful sounding amp, but I have some minor issues with it that I need to sort out.  On power off, and I mean complete power removal, I get a squeal through the front right.  Doubt it is anything major but something to look into.

My Current system:

Fronts :  Klipsch RP-280F

Center: Klipsch RP-440C

Surround: Klipsch RP-250S

Rear:  Acoustic Energy A107.  Soon to be replaced with Klipsch RP-160

Sub: Acoustic Research 12".  Don't laugh at that one..  Needs to go as well.

Projector: Epson, I forget the #, 1080P.

Screen: 125"

Onkyo TX-NR717 driving the Sunfire Cinema Grand Sig 400-5.  It's also driving the 2 rear speakers.

Sony Blu ray, Amazon FireTV and other various bits of audio gear.

All this in a dedicated theater room that seats 8.

I have found information somewhat difficult to come by on this model, so hope I am in the right place

Cheers!!
