Replacing Speakers...+ Firmware upgrade? Hi..I have another samsung HTIB...the HT-TQ72, which was advertised as a 1000w system, but with two tall boy speakers. I was wondering, since this is a 1000w system as well, can I just swap the two front speakers for the two front ones from the ht-tq72? the samsung support said yes,...but I'm a bit weary...also, from what I've read, the main thing that people give this system a low rating is because of problems upgrading their firmware...has anyone had luck upgrading to the latest firmware? any special tricks?

hey man if the speakers came from the Sansung 1000 watt,you can assuredly put them into play on yer new samsung 1000 watt,I mean it would seem that the impedence,and crossovers that are already incorparated in yer speakers are newer should if anything sound BETTER as they are using a newer version(but same wattage etc) Honestly I would see NO problem with this move...blessings on ya.......eddie

Note that Samsung (and other manufacturers) are playing fast and loose with their wattage ratings. Most of these all-in-one units have 3-Ohm speakers, which means the power numbers are wildly inflated. Even worse, you can seriously damage your quality 8-Ohm speakers by hooking them up to the puny amps in these things.

Ok, got a response this morning. "Kirby,You are correct in the speakers being the only difference between these models of Home Theater systems.Bob E.Again, thank you for contacting Onkyo and Integra USA Product Support, if you need further assistance feel free to call us at:..."So there we go. Right now Amazon lowered the price of the 7300 to $550 the 6300 is $500. I read a review for the 6300 that the surround speakers are a little big, which I think I see in the picture. So I'm not sure yet, what I'll do, if the extra $50 is worth the speaker shape difference and the stands. What are you all thinking? Ok, got a response this morning.

Hi, I bought the Dayton Audio HTS-1200B home theater speaker set plus SAT-BK Satellite speaker pair to make them work with my ONKYO TN-XR626 7.2, all associated with a subwoofer Canton AS 85.2 Aktiver (200/250Watt, made in Germany). What I can say is that it makes the effect of a bomb. I am fully satisfied with these little speakers.

I bought my HT-S9100 THX system through EGA (Amazon Seller). I have a problem with the receiver and cannot get a reply from EGA about warranty. Thanks EGA

I'm a novice with electronics, but you could try hooking up a pair of PC computer speakers and plugging them in to the headphone jack to see if the problem persists in the new speakers. it could possibly bypass the problem and give you better sound quality. If not, there must be a problem with the soundcard and time for a tech to check it out. If it's warranty, get a estimate from experienced tv repair before you take it to where HCL uses, I've heard not so nice things about their work, google them for reviews of their company. Sorry, I don't remember name, but you'll find it in some of the bad reviews on Amazon. See if you can better advise, but I should be pretty close. Sorry I meant TCL.

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk. I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

Man, I am in the same boat! I first saw the 9100THX and thought that is the system I am going for! Knowing that THX is all a certification standard. A great one at that! You're right, THX is better at reproducing sound, but from what I've researced, its just that system/receiver passing a rigor of testing. The 9100 has a seal of approval after going through movie theather quality testing. Some pass at minimum standards and others exceed THX standards. From hearing what many people say about both systems its all personal choice. I think I will go with the 7100 because of the added speaker stands (which I need, and will probably add two for the rear speakers, and two for the sides. All equalling the same amount the 9100 will cost you) Plus I didn't feel like shopping around finding speaker stands for the BEAST-like speakers of the 9100. 7100 appeals to me but it may not be for you. They both are pretty much the exact same, other then that seal from THX. In my experience, if you have one thing THX, you might as well go all the way in THX components. So you're speakers should be THX as well. But all that gets spendy. My budget was no more then $1000 at the most. I like what the 7100 offers. Maybe in like 5 years I might upgrade to a THX receiver, but for now I think what the 7100 puts out, I think I will be blown away!! In the gist there are no significant differences. (Other then the Ipod Dock on the 7100 and two speaker stands thrown in)

That's puzzling! Mine certainly does NOT have speakers. I'm thinking either they upgraded the version or else they have the wrong pictures. Also, mine does not say "TOP" brand anywhere on the product or packaging, but I looked back in my orders and it is the brand that was advertised. This version is $5 more than it was in December, so maybe the speakers have been added. You might have to contact the seller to find out for sure.

Thanks for the info. Guess i have to wait for the newer firmware version. Since I purchase on Amazon, i assume i would have to work it through Samsung if i bricked it. P.S. Funny enough, when I first received the unit, i tried to do a firware upgrade and it said that none were available. It should have been, so maybe i was lucky it didn't work.

The zone 2 I am not setup yet, and 7.1 channel I don't know why I have out put only 5.1 or 5.2. I check the seting but still don't know how to get the out put for 7.1. I have 7 speaker and 2 subwoofer still try to setting up. I will let you know when I got it.Best RegardMinh

they "F'd" my order up on this. Sent me One "Woofer"...cust serv directed me to tiger direct confirming the sku # was for two speakers. I was sent "ANOTHER SINGLE WOOFER". take your chance!

If you mean Definitive Technology ProCinema 600 in your initial question, and you are using those little things as front speakers, you may want to use these for the front, and put the front 600's in the rear. You said "to replace" - do you mean the little 600 speakers died?

Well I can see now in one of the customer images, it shows that the system is 70 watts RMS. It's too bad the picture is so small. I wonder if 70 watts RMS is the combined total RMS, or just the speakers, etc. Thanks ahead to anyone who can elaborate.

Same TV, same problem. I called Samsung and basically they didn't make their TV able to be listened to with both sets of speakers at the same time. Go figure. They should say that on the box then because that's insane.

I'm glad you warned me. I notice there are firmware upgrades on their site. But why would I have to upgrade a brand new player? One of them said it was necessary to listen to audible books? I hope not. I may very well get back to you with questions. Thank you again!

I know I'm a bit late answering this, so you may already have your setup, but just in case you haven't.... 1. If you want a 7.1 Setup, (actually use all 7 speakers and woofer) and don't mind the bulking speakers (Speakers are pretty darned BIG), this is all you need. The biggest con here is that THEY ARE BIG, so if you have a wimpy sized Living Room, or Media Room this is overkill. I've seen these speakers in a room with a 50" TV and they make the TV look smaller, as I've seen the Energy Classic speaker setup with a 46" TV make the TV look bigger. If you have the space, and only care about sound this is a good choice as it is THX Certified. 2. Option #1 is THX Certified, and made to compliment each other so that would trump #2 option, considering your pricing as well. 3. This is a better option than #1 if you are thinking 5.1 setup. You cannot buy separate speakers to turn this into a 7.1 speaker system later on because Energy doesn't sell the identical speakers separately, but these speakers are simply AMAZING and the speaker size is much smaller than Option #1, which makes blending them in your room a dream. If you don't need a 7.1 Setup, I'd go this route without hesitation. Right now Newegg has for $399, with $100 Credit back on the speakers.

You can upgrade the -firmware- version according to tplinks website. The user guide says "the firmware version much match the hardware version" or something. I don't really know what this means, they don't have good translations sometimes (tp-link).
