Well I cranked it up again and I heard the same crackle. Exactly at 11 db on my receiver. But its only on one side. So could it still be the receiver or do I possibly have a problem with my speaker? Thanks for any help.

Nice pictures.....racks look great.

The synergy in walls were in the home before I moved in so I'm using them as my surround and rears. I noticed they don't sound too good with my RF-5's mainly because I don't even think I hear anything from them. But it just seems a waste not to use them since their pre-wired and ready to be used. Thanks for advice about moving them out a little. I moved them so that the walls no longer reflect the sound. Sounds better but I was a little disappointed the speaker crackled a little when I cranked it to about 11 or 12 db on my receiver. I wonder if any other RF-5 owners have the same problem? I just got my SVS sub wired into the setup and it sound much better.

and if you do choose the HK, you can get it for 699 including shipping and no tax from jandr.com which is a lot cheapter than 1000.

Hey Vital, I just got my RF-5's today and it took about about 8 days for the day I ordered them to the day they arrived. The RF-5's came in doubled boxed and the speakers were in perfect condition. Original papers, boxes and even the plastic seal covering the entire speakers were enclosed. I ended up choosing brandnamez because they were the cheapest compared to other sites and also another forum confirmed a successful buying experience with them. Anyways I hope this helps in your decision. I saved about $600 bucks off of retail. Sam

lol...that would be me taking the picture after finally getting both speakers out of their boxes. They were both double boxed for each speaker and tape was used with out discretion.

Hey guys, Here's a picture of my new home theater system. Thanks for all the help with it. Sony Grand Wega "50" 2 Klipsch RF-5's 4 Klipsch Synergy In walls 1 SVS 20-39 PCi subwoofer (on its way) Harmon Kardon AVR 525 Sony sat HDTV

Hey guys, I finally got my Klipsch RF-5's today. I have a quick question though regarding bi-wiring. Is it better to just buy some bi-wires from my local a/v store or should I go to Home Depot and buy regular 16 gauge speaker wire and connect? Is there a difference that I could tell or is it pointless? Thanks in advance...Imma post some pictures up soon as my battery charges. I'm so excited.

Me too Mike, I just placed my order a week ago and if I knew you were selling it, I'd definietly opt for yours. Good luck selling.

hey b-man before you buy, check out brandnamez.com I just recently ordered my RF-5's from them and I got both for 1079 including shipping. I just checked their website and you can get the RF-7 for about 729 and center channel for 500 something. I believe they are authorized and some other people here have ordered through them prior.

Sweet pictures though, my home theater would be the mini version of that. I'm still waiting for my RF-5's and SVS sub to arrive though.. I'll post some pics when they do. Sony Grand Wega 50 HK AVR-525 Mains:RF-5s Surrounds:Synergy Inwalls (yuck) Rear Surronds:Synergy Inwalls (yuck again) Sub: SVS 20-39 PCi

"just a quick note... the SVS 20-39Pci is actually tuned to 20Hz while the 16-46PCI is the one tuned to 16Hz. The first digit is the tuning point, and the second one is the height (39 inches and 46 inches respectively)" That is correct but you can also have SVS tune your sub down a couple hertz if you like. They say they usually do this for people who buy the 25-31 subs and SVS tunes them down to about 22 hertz. I think thats what he meant by the 20-39 sub tuned to 16 hertz.

I don't know about the best way to do inwalls but I'll tell you a little bit about mine. The previous owner put 4 Klipsch synergy series in walls into the ceiling so I'm using those as my surrounds and rear surrounds. So far the sounds from the in walls are okay at best. Sam

Before you make your final decision check out www.svsubwoofers.com and check out what they got. I just ordered my SVS and from what I've heard, these subwoofers are a pretty good deal for how they perform. I'm sure the plenty SVS sub owners here will confirm this.

Thanks fish, it actually worked with video cables. Still curious tho why component cables wouldn't work. And yes, video was selected for component input. Sam New HK sounds good too.
