Preamps go obsolete very rapidly. Bill ---------------- That would get my vote too. Thats pretty much what I do except with Parasound amps and a Denon 3803. The next generation of pre-pros will probably have to address the higher rez. DD+ and DTS HD sound from HD DVDs. From what I've read current optical and digital coax will not be able to handle it.

I have the MMF-7 but it might be about the same. My arm did the same thing the first time I set it up, the instructions weren't the clearest I've ever read. When setting tracking force you have to hold the counterweight and turn the numbered tracking force scale to 0 and make sure arm is still floating parallel. Then return arm to arm rest. Now turn the counterweight counterclockwise to 1.75g (on mine). Make sure you turn the counterweight and not the numbered tracking force scale on that step. That's where I messed up the first time.

I recently tried bringing them forward, anywhere from an inch to a foot. Instant loss of deep bass, no apparant improvement in soundstage. I have nice outlines in the carpet where they have sat for years, and intend to keep them there. ---------------- I've had my Fortes for 18 years and mine have been set up pretty much identical to how you have yours. I'll have to agree that this seems to bring out the best from them. They have been with me in 4 different houses and more rooms than I can remember and they always seem to wind up set up in the same position.

Congrats Joe, that is great news.

It was a good movie. It has been a long time since I've seen it, I'll have to get it out and watch it again. Pretty wild how they would give every other man a rifle.

Accept- Russian Roulette lp.

A really good DVD, excellent video and audio. DTS-ES is a definite bonus.

I had Dish install a second dish for me last week so I could get the Voom channels. You need a dish pointing at 61.5. I love HD, I get 17 HD channels from Dish and 10 channels from our OTA antenna.

The Yes Album, album.

I bought these back in 2002 from Tweeter, which was, than, an authorized dealer. Maybe Klipsch did some additional testing over the past couple years and updated the specs to more closely reflect what the speaker can actually take. ---------------- I don't think the date has anything to do with it. I dug out my receipts and I had bought one RC-7 in March 02 and the other in Nov. 03, and they both say 200 watts max. And both were bought from the same auth. dealer.

I seem to remember a thread on here a year or so ago where some RF-7 owners had stickers with the wrong max. watt number on them. I think they found out that someone at the factory just printed them up wrong. It doesn't change anything about the speaker, but it would probably bug me anyway knowing they were wrong.

I just looked on the back of both of my RC-7s and the sticker says, max input pwr: 200 watts. They're brown and gold colored. One black RC-7, the other one is cherry.

Congrats, the RC-7 is a real nice speaker. You are right the sticker should say 200 watts max. Someone probably just put on the wrong sticker. If it was purchased from an authorized dealer Klipsch would probably send you the right one if you asked.

I love movies and am looking forward to seeing it, but there has never been a movie made that I would wait in a long line or sit in an overly crowded theater with a bunch of strangers to see. We usually give a big movie like that 2 or 3 weeks, then go in the middle of a week day. Its still the same movie and you have the theater almost to yourself.

Circuit City has quite a few SACDs and DVD-A at their online site, none in the store. I've ordered 5 or 6 from them, price wasn't too bad.

A Truly Honest person is a rarity in the world today. I personally hate dishonnesty and will not tolerate it with the people I deal with from either end of the transaction. Craig ---------------- I have to agree with you about that. My wife thinks I don't trust people enough, but I learned a long time ago that people are going to take advantage of you if they think they can get away with it. I pretty much go into every situation skeptical of the people I'm dealing with until proven otherwise.

Neil I never thought you were insulting me, and basically I agree with you, pregnant is pregnant, you either are or you're not. But I believe when it comes to honesty you can have a little wiggle room. There are degrees of honesty, you can be honest without being totally honest. If my wife asks me how she looks in a new pair of jeans and I think she looks good I'll tell her she does and I'll be honest. But if I think if she would drop a couple pounds off her butt she would look even better in them I'll just keep that to myself. Does that make me less than honest? No,it makes me more than smart.

I posted about the same speakers two or three weeks ago. I've been buying gear from Red (the owner) since the mid 70s or so, when he was down the road at Mich. Teletronics, later changed to Stereo TV Village. He has always been more than fair to me. The Belles and Khorns are both in really good shape. They had some new Heresys on display the last time I was there too.

Just set the level the same and they will sound great together.
