007

Yes, it is depressing, I just did my part and posted a review on Amazon.. the previous author actually said the older 2.1 THX's sounded better so I had to embarrass him. But i wrote a nice review and linked some pictures and stuff.

I'm aware of the independent price of the iFi's components - hence my earlier qualification that it's "not overpriced per se." But at this point it's still just too expensive for most people looking for the equivalent of an "Ultra 2.1" system. Here's hoping it eventually hits $299. ---------------- Oh ok.. agreed, KLipsch need to do an ultra 2.1 at around 200 bucks or so to bring back the 2.1 systems. Jay, good idea, im gonna install some proxy server software and go start some chaos!

It's interesting to note that they say the GMXA-2.1 is "comparable" in terms of sound quality. Given the price of the components I realize that it's not overpriced per se, but it is at an awkward price point. For anyone in the market for a great 2.1 multimedia solution, it's simply too expensive relative to the competition. And anyone seeking a true audiophile solution for their iPod will likely use the money to get a good pair of bookshelf speakers. I would kill for a version of the iFi WITHOUT the iPod dock, priced at, say, $299. I'll snap it up as soon as it hits that price point. ---------------- The iFi is worth the 400 bucks.. read my review. The dock doest add 100 to the cost, in fact, they probably didnt add anything for it. sws retailed for 200 - was a great subwoofer and the iFi sub is even better RSX-3's retail for 130 each thats $460 right there and you're already getting more because the ifi sub is better Now, throw in an all new 200 watt amp, remote and control pod then lower the price to 400! Yes its priced correctly, you need to hear one in your own room to really appreciate that. this is my review word 2003 required, i did some updating and took down the online version 007_iFi_1.2.doc

That guy is a joke, I started some comments on under that review which had some technical details in them.. After a healthy debate.. Not even a debate , just a friendly conversation, that reviewer guy (Jeremy Horwizt) Emailed me and threaded that I worked for Klipsch. He also deleted every single one of my comments and banned my user account. I never argued, nor cursed, in fact, I Was being extremely modest compared to how I normally am. Ironically I was banned on my best behavior, it was very strange. He claimed that I was trying to market the system and because I told him that I owned the RSX-4's and 5's he said I could not "afford" that unless I had an employee discount, LOL. He also admitted that he felt I knew too much about Klipsch to be not working for them. Fact is, I knew more than him and I was the one who should have wrote that review, and in the end, I did the iFi review anyway. I told him I was a student and he did not believe me so after about 3 emails, I did what I do best.. I told him off and blocked his email. It was a two part strategy...telling him off was very unprofessional and would prove I dont work for Klipsch, and also, it felt pretty damn good because that like *** munch deleted my time consuming posts. About 3 weeks later, I get banned on the forums. Well, I guess he told his boss and his boss ran the forums and he banned my other account. I sould have not used the same names because he not only banned my name, he banned my entire class D ip range! YES 207.214.92.* with that wild card so all 255 of them were blocked! I pay for static so I can switch them as needed but ALL were banned!!!! For what? NOTHING exct a private email (NOT PUBLIC) that was rightfully deserved telling him to F-off after he said i was I was lying which i was not. In fact, I was the only one.. yes the only one of the form constantly giving great advice about ipod speaker solutions and they banned me. I never argued nor even asked questions. I just consistently answered out of my own free will to all these ipod newbiews. I also recommended several brands at a time, not just Klipsch, but I will admit I never recommended bose. Its funny.. because I was one the most helpful people there and I got banned! I stepped on that Jeremy kids ego and this is what happeneds. Good lord, at least I can post here.

Frank Lloyd Write would not approve this thread.

thnx Dman, thats answered my question.

I think monster is making some subwoofers that look like furniture. very overpriced however...

Wow, SVS is making a 5.1 system.. no telling when its gonna be released, but this may divide a few people here... yikes

Agreed, The ifi sub is very clean... for multimedia, its almost discussing how nice it is.

I gotta get me there next time.

All I know is i got the iFi's and they destory anything for the PC, including my 5.1 Ultras... at least sound quality wise, and not far from the SPL either. Do your service you Klipsch fans and go get a set, they are kinda fun to try in rooms in your house w/o sound.

I guess now days technology keeps getting better. ---------------- The Mac and iPod newbies love that POS! It gets a 5/5 average user rating on apple.com. The Klispch iFi is only 4/5... lol haha here are some reviews of that hk system "These spreakers are great!!!! Sound quality is amazing. only paid $170!!! Great speakers Great Price" "I have some really nice 7.1 suround speakers nearly 1000 bucks, and these little things sound a lot better" "i've had these speakers for 4 months and they are AWSOME!! They are the coolest looking speakers out there, and they have the best sound you could ask for" "These are the greatest speakers that I've ever seen in my entire life" "The Soundsticks produce natural and full bass, strong and rich mids, and vivid and bright highs " "these speakers blow away any other computer speaker i've ever owned. they were worth the money, in fact, they should be sold for more" "This is how a Mac should sound, or anything that requires sound" "There are no other speakers like these. They provide the PERFECT quality for music" "trust me when i say this they sound as ggod as they look if not better." "I'm a bit of an audiophile, as well as a singer with a pretty good ear. These speakers really knocked my socks off!" "wow.....what the hell? only if everyone could experience the quality the world would be a better place." "By far as good as Bose" haha I have to stop there.. Let me jsut the the soundsticks are border line.. worst mulimedia speakers I have ever heard! You guys need to explanation.

dragonfyr is right because his text is blue.

Is that bose sounddock system, also can be use as portable speaker system? Can it also run on batteries? If not, then the bose sounddock is a waste of money. ---------------- Like Jay said.. no batteries, and get this, NO AUX INPUT! bascially there is one hold on the back for the power, and your silly ipod in the front.. oh.. and you cant control it without the dinky remote which is not radio FQ like the Klipsch. its a peice of ****.

So Ray suggested that they are wired both though the crossover, meaning the crossover has two sets of negative and positive terminals one for each speaker? (not counting the tweeter) Or just one set and the woofers are wired in parallel? If thats the case, then are the speaker woofers 16ohms each?

Forget the KSW-Anythings Consider the Klispch Sub-10 or the Sub-12, they are the successors to the KSW's. They have 4 times the power, over twice the one way linear extension, deeper tuning FQ, higher SPL and tighter bass. Oh, did I mention they have the same prices to their respective predecessors? You can demo these new sub's at bestbuy.

Ya I figured it was something like that. thanks

I'm wondering what the ohms are for each driver individually.

I was just listening to it in the bedroom last night set up with a wide sound stage.. The thing is so thing can get ridiculously loud with good detail for its small size. I cant even imagine how anyone would want the sounddock after hearing it.

I'm not talking theoretical xmax (ie. Voil coil lenght - gap) I mean while its playing to determine if its overdriving or what not.

I'd rather wait till I have a home where I can get a real setup. Will the iFi's work well for a nice sounding 2.1 system for DVD playback. Has anyone done this, and what are your thoughts. Michael MDFilms ---------------- Yes, the iFi is the end all 2.1 system. IT will blow away any other 2.1 system for the PC. oh.. it has an extra feature that allows it to work with your ipod (lol)

I cant wait to get the sub-12 in a small room
