Hello All
I'm a newbie on this forum,just joined and would like some of the best brains around in the audio industry ( all you guys ), to provide me a suggestion.
I'm from Thane,Mumbai's neighbour next door.I bought an Onkyo 5.1 Channel HTS,model HTR 340, two years ago.This came as a package, an amplifier,with a sub-woofer , two front & rear side speakers and one center speaker.I have attached all the speakers except for the sub-woofer attached on the respective walls of my room.The major issue with the system is :
I had expected a very rich sound experience,a lively kind of an openness in sound in the music,which is not at all present.I find the sound as subdued one.
This is how I have attached the system
1. All the wall mounted speakers have been attached on to the wall directly with a nail minus the wall brackets.Is it necessary to attach the speakers with a wall bracket ?
2. The cabling has been done by a local electrician using a single pair wire used for electrical connections.Is it necessary to get the wiring done by some sound expert and what kind of wiring to be used for an enhanced sound experience?
3. The speakers have been placed at a height, approx 7 feet from the floor.
4. Pls suggest can an extra pair of front tower speakers be attached along with the existing speakers ? Will it enhance the sound quality ? If yes then which brand of tower speakers will be good ?
My budget is between Rs. 12K to 17K.
Normally I watch movies using this HTS but would love to listen to audio CDs also if I get the desired sound output.
Request you all to kindly suggest / enhancements to my existing setup within my budget so that I can enjoy listening to music.
Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you soon.
