  1. Just go with 2 emerson clock radio's tuned into your local AM rock station. I think placement and room treatments will be very important in this arrangement.
  2. Now THAT was funny! Yea, I've decided I'm not getting any more recievers (OK 1 more tube type) as I end up buying the damn entire system in the mean time to justify it. I'm simply not smart enough to just say "when"...LOL!
  3. Those Belle's make my heart race and my palms sweaty....can I spend the night with them?
  4. Dang, I just went to the Emotiva web site....very SWEET! I may get one of those bad boys for my new system as a pre/pro!
  5. I've heard good things about HK. In a pre/pro setup you may even hold off for a while on buying another pre/pro
  6. I have a Yamaha RXZ1 that has a plethera of sound modes. All-in-all, I use DD for movies, unless on cable, then I use 8 channel. The rest seem to be a waste of time for me in that I can't really see a difference I like outside of perhaps one more. This thing has churchs, concert halls, etc...something like 40 different sound modes. When buying it I thought "COOL", in actual use, who wants to hear anything as it sounds in a church, or concert hall.
  7. Gotta look it up! If he's coming through here, I'll be there!
  8. BTW, monster recievers are very cool and I added the Monster Reciever link to my FAVS...peace out.
  9. You totally took me wrong. What I said was FOR ME. I think it's totally cool. It wasn't necessary....chill out dude.
  10. Personally, I can't see collecting Monster Recievers. I have one, a Marantz 2385.
  11. Thanks Guys! Michael, I hope you have me in line for you Cornwalls if you decide to part ways, and some sort of shipping can be worked out
  12. People, it's too late for me...save yourselves!
  13. A great forum member has a pair of Verts for sale almost in my neighborhood. when looking at pictures, I just realized what "vertical" meant.....duhhh...anyhoo, I'm used to being "special" and a little "slow" so.......I want to stand these up on Horizantal, will I lose any sonic quality by doing this............... Also, I am interested in a pair from another great forum member. I guess I could use the Vert's as sorrounds and the horizontals as mains?.....(picture me looking like Austin Powers wringing my hands)
  14. Ahhh, I see ducking the question.....I want my ladder back Fini. If you would kindly drive it back to Virginia, err, North Carolina... BTW, Nice system! I would still love to set up a tube system one day. We lost about 1,000 sq ft of house when we sold, so space has become a premium.....however like any good male dog, I pee'd in the basement and called it mine!
  15. So, if you're going to keep her around, (I'm constantly amazed that a woman has an interest in me) might as well learn the WAF!
  16. LOL! Michael kills me, Yea but WWYD? Anyhoo, we just put a flat screen in the living room for the wifey, she could care LESS about sound...it was killing me but she has a nioce sofe and her 46" LCD. Our family room inhereted my RF-7's RC'7, RF 3's, subs, my RX-Z1, AMP 5 channel amp, and Denon 2900.. We have three 2 person reclining love seats with 2 wedges that form a HUGE "U"shape seating area. This will be our/kids theater. Their now 9 and 7, so they'll grow into it. Both of those areas had to survive WAF. I gave on the seating, and she gave on the speakers in the family room. Now I'm finishing out the basement...NO WAF....THAT WAS THE DEALEO!
  17. Someone stole mine whilst living in virginia....You guys don't think Fine drove across the country and stole my ladder do you.... Fini, where were you between the hours of March 2008 and September 2008....
  18. I don't have a horse in the race, but a sectional that has the love seat w/ 2 recliners,and a couch attached. Just think what a hero you'll be AND how lucky you'll be
  19. LOL, I think you're correct Dtel! Barn dinner theater!
  20. The room is 16 x 21. FLOORS: I was just going to paint the outside edges and have a carpet bound to lay in the middle. I found one I like for $450 after having it bound. CEILING: The insulation between the joists already and held in place very well by "wire". I've actually thought about the "rough" aspect of placing something in between, so, I'm considering 1/4 round placed down the length. I would have to measure every foot or so and custom cut each piece. The challenge on a ceiling is that the lowest point to the bottom of the duct work is 7' 5" from the floor. I guess I could get back a few inches if I installed the ceiling around the duct. I looked at painting it black, but need to prime it first, then perhaps paint it a flat black. SYSTEM: So far, my current system is for the upstairs "family room", so, all I have is an Academy, forte II's, and three 250 watt amps. I'll be looking for a decent processor and decent projector. A Panny would be fine. I would prefer a 1080P, but would take a 720P. Thanks for the info folks...this is EXACTLY the type of input I need to consider.
  21. I have had the KLF 20's and the forte II's. I like the forte's better in that they seem to be a "cleaner" sound. As for the bass, the forte II's are unreal. You would swear that a sub was connected. Having said that, I oved my KLF-20's and wished I had them back if for nothing other than wiring them to my emerson clock radio
