You're lucky, cause the last time i tested was 15 years ago at the Air Force Academy in a roomfull of cadets. They asked us to drop our hand when we couldnt hear it any more. That was one of several times I broke the honor code because truth be told, i stopped being able to hear the tone at about 17khz. I kept my hand up until about 19hz though ;-) (when everyone else started dropping theirs).Quote:
your right Im very sensetive to high freqs. last time i could hear up to 19khz so the klipsch was killing me.
Going on memory, even 17khz was a pretty dang high sounding frequency!
Back on topic, i'm seeing something different than what Jojo said regarding the H/K 335's ability to use a 6.1 setup. This from page 16 in the owner's manual:
"It is appropriate to configure the AVR 335 for either
5.1- or 7.1-channel operation, but not for 6.1-channels.
When 6.1-channel program material or a 6.1-
channel processing mode is in use, material for the
surround back channel will be outputted simultaneously
through both the Surround Back Left and Right
Speaker Outputs‚. Connecting only one loudspeaker
to these speaker terminals will not only
deprive you of the benefits of 7.1-channel surround
modes, such as Logic 7, but will also interfere with the
functioning of the EzSet+ speaker setup and calibration
process as described on page 20. It may also put
undesirable strain on the surround back amplifier circuits
and power supplies.
Subwoofers produce nondirectional sound, so they"
The H/K 235 has the same limitation. But the H/K 135 manual gives the opposite warning if you will, and says it works with 6.1 but warns not to try hooking 2 speakers up to the one terminal.
Maybe what Jojo saw was that the receiver is capable of breaking up recorded 6.1 and outputting it appropriately to 7.1 speakers, but it doesnt look like you can actually hook up a 6.1 speaker setup.

(edit) here's discussion regarding the surround back connections (page 8 of the manual). Mention of 7.1 operation or a second room, but no guidelines for 6.1 (or just one speaker).
"‚Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs:
These speaker terminals are normally used to power
the surround back left/surround back right speakers
in a 7.1-channel system. However, they may also be
used to power the speakers in a second zone, which
will receive the output selected for a multiroom system.
To change the output fed to these terminals from
the default of the Surround Back speakers to the
Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the
MULTIROOM MENU of the OSD system. See
page 35 for more information on configuring this
speaker output. In normal surround system use, the
brown and black terminals are the surround back left
channel positive (+) and negative (–) connections and
the tan and black terminals are the surround back
right positive (+) and negative (–) terminals. For multiroom
use, connect the brown and black SBL terminals
to the red and black connections on the left remote
zone speaker and connect the tan and black SBR terminals
to the red and black terminals on the right
remote zone speaker.
⁄Surround Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs"
The only H/K i would even consider would be the entry level H/K 135 because of this.
> David F. is going to have to watch this closely for those folks that order a 6.1 combo pack + any H/K receiver, cause it just isnt going to work.
That's what it seemed like to me. That is a major disadvantage for the H/K 335 (or series).
well i was only listening to 5.1 material using the 6th speaker. but i rather have 2 bck channels any way. when i had the 1803 denon i had a pair of klipsch .5 doing duty. but my room is small to have 7.1 now, but i have my eyes set on getting a pair of 340m and have one pair of 170 be back channel
Dont get me wrong; i'd go 7.1 if i good. I have no wall on one side of my HT, so for rear's i'm forced to mount the surrounds on the back wall corners towed in, and the best i could do for DD EX would be to add a back center.
