Hell yeah I'm gonna buy it. It's Pink Floyd!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also have read reviews of it ...and they says it's incredible. Personally, even if the surround does not score a 10, I don't care, I'll switch it two two channel. I'm waiting on a new receiver. Marantz SR7300 to go with my klipsch RF3's. Can't wait. Anything by Pink Floyd through some Klipschhorns and a killer receiver has got to kick butt. I play guitar so I am knee deep in this. I hook up my Boss GT-6 guitar preamp/processor through a digital coax, then to the receiver ...so i can jam with the dvd, SACD, or whatever. You KNOW your gonna buy it ...don't waste any more time, don't walk .....run, run, run like hell. David Gilmour rocks. Peace, Slingin a lespaul

You don't need to raise hell. That's a killer, killer deal ...stick with it and get the speakers ...2 for 1!!! Just go in there, calm, and be persistent. Your old enough ...people don't respect "ages", they respect "people". Stay calm, and keep talking, continually "steering" THEM to your goal of getting Klipsch speakers 2 for 1. You already have a "contract" with them. Get those speakers. Be patient, but persistent. Good luck ...don't hold yourself down b/c your only 18, just realize it's a "business" decision. Emotions only cloud judgement. Good luck, Rob

Hello, Rob again: Chinoloco: Sorry, I don't want to appear uneducated, but I'm not familiar with Pioneer Elite. When I think Pioneer I think "mass market, run of the mill". No offense intended. Is Pioneer Elite on par with H/K, Denon, Marantz, etc? What is the Weight of the Pioneer 45 that you have. I've heard from other posters that the pioneer is "warmer", thus being a good match for klipsch. Did you really feel comfortable paying a premium price for "Pioneer"? Thanks again for your response.

Hello, Rob again: To those that have responded ....THANK YOU! I narrowed down my decision to: 1. Harmon Kardon AVR525 - $639.00 2. Marantz SR6300 - $545.00 3. Denon AVR 2803 - $545.00 All have full Manufacturers Warranty. Still I don't want to have to deal with sending something back ...so reliability is a major issue. Considering those prices ...anybody care to suggest one for Klipsch RF-3's. It still blows me away that the H/K weighs in at 44lbs.!!! Obviously the extra weight must be a good thing? Once again I lean toward a tad warmer sound. For example I love the sound of Alan Parsons (ELP)through my Klipschs ...so majestic. So ...one of these three receivers must stand out. I just read an article in "Home Theater" magazine. Scott Millan, Sony studio's mixing engineer for movies like Gladiator, Appolo 13, Bourne Identity, etc...just bought a new home theater system ...and he chose the Marantz SR9200. Just one man's opinion, I'm just afraid of making a mistake or choosing a brand that has reliability problems. Hell ...I still have an 18 year old JVC receiver that works perfectly, hard to believe that todays receivers can have so many bugs, or a premium brand can have reliability issues. To everyone that has responded, thank you immensely! Your input is extemely appreciated.

Hello: What A/V Receiver under $1000 would you match with Klipsch RF-3's all around. Even a $500 A/V Receiver is fine. I know this has been asked a billion times ...but now it's personal. I don't need or want to spend "up" to $1000, but I am willing to pay for "quality" sound. I'd be happy with a 5.1, but 6.1 is ok. I am interested in 192khz DAC's. The Marantz and Onkyo has 192khz DAC's, I don't think Denon or H/K does. With Klipsch RF-3's: 1. Denon 2803 or 1804(compare to marantz 5300) 2. Harmon Kardon AVR-525 3. Marantz SR-7300 or 6300 or 5300 4. Onkyo TX-SR701 I LOVE MUSIC! Charlie Parker, Coltrane, Albert King, B.B. King, Jimi, Ozzy, SRV, Joe Satriani, Pink Floyd, Judas Priest ...get the idea. Everything but Country (sorry) Do I really have to sacrifice for HT? I've heard it all, I know sound is a personal observation, but c'mon ... I've heard denon described as natural, great reliability ...the bad side "forward" and "light". I've heard Harmon Hardon as "rich", "lush" ...the bad side, dark, and mushy with major reliability issues. I've heard Marantz is most musical, warm ...the bad, home theater was "anemic", kinda feature short. I've heard Onkyo as feature rich, potent ...the bad side as brash, generic sound. By the way, I saw the specs on the Marantz sr5300, it's Output THD is only .05%, while it's bigger brothers are .08% ...what's up with that? Based on "audio specs" I was leaning towards the Marantz. I have also read the the H/K was rich and lush, that appeals to me. I was leaning toward the Marantz and Harmon Kardon because I am a "MUSIC FREAK" ...and am looking to warm up the sound ...BUT that may be because I am currently using a Sony DE-STR845 (sorry). By the way I was really surprised to see a poster here with a Yamaha hooked up to his Klipsch ...Bright? Please reply!!! Don't just read and move on ...I would really like your opinion or 2cents worth. I live in Kansas ...dealers are limited around here ... Thanks, Rob
