    Polk 800i v KlipschRF3 II

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    i've been hanging out at the polk site this week

    interesting, fun people

    The only thing i see that MIGHT sound as good as the RF3 II or RB5 II is one of the new LSi series speakers.

    It really is apples and oranges though and you are going to have to decide for yourself.

    Good Luck!

    They are wired correctly. Your homemade straps are fine.

    Please answer these questions:

    What speakers did you used to have?

    How big is your listening room?

    How tall is your ceiling?

    How far away are you from your speakers?

    I've been over at the Polk site over the last couple of days and those people are generally not very informed, arrogant, and fairly immature. I have no idea why they even have a message board.

    outrageous investment

    I hope you're a Fabrication Specialist because you'll need about $20K.

    I don't know if you know this but your posts don't always make much sense.

    Why would you buy 3 sets of RF7's and then leave RF3's in as your mains?

    The question isn't so much would it work - but why?

    Lets see - you are gonna put an RF7 on top of your TV I guess. RF7's for rears - what the hell for?

    3 RSW 15's? Gonna put them all on the same outlet or use a power strip?

    If you are going to troll - at least come up with something a little more imaginative.

    Cleaning Old Vinyl

    warm soapy water is best but is hard on the labels

    rinse with warm water

    do not use alcohol

    pat dry with soft cotton

    let the remaining moisture air dry

    if it's really bad you can use a toothbrush - buy one with the softest bristles you can find and gently remove grunge going in the direction of the grooves - this is a last resort kind of thing

    Review: AE-25 Super Amp

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    I don't really understand what benefit there is in using it (standby) because the amp is just as hot with it on as it is with it off.

    I didn't get a manual with it and so don't really understand what it is doing.

    I also just found out the following:

    "FWIW--regarding the Standby switch--Kirk at Cary, told me that they found leaving the amp in Standby was actually harder on the tubes. He said that it is okay to have the amp in the Standby mode when first turning it on--just don't leave on Standby for long periods at a time."

    So what should I do - just power the amp off when I'm not using it? I listen every day for 2 or 3 hours - so I have been leaving it on.

    That popping doesn't really stress the tweeter does it? I mean, if it does - then you better give me your mailing address so I can this thing to you so you can fix it cwm35.gif

    Biwiring 101010101

    "The result is a generation of more static and stochastic phase error sounds at different directions from the loudspeaker. The stochastic phase error sounds appear because there may be different types of unlinearities in the low- and high-frequency paths."

    I'm impressed. I have no idea what he's talking about. I'm certainly concerned about my speaker throwing stochastic phase error around my room though. I hope it cleans up with a wash cloth.

    Let's do this

    That is actually what i was going to do - use them as mains in a 2 channel HT. However - all my rooms are fairly small and the M1590's are not shielded. There is really no way to set them up without the speakers being too close to the tube.

    Your statement was comical but at the same time kind of profound. To go from the wide open dynamic sound of a horn to the sizzly compressed dinky sound of a plastic dome tweeter would probably be more than I can bear.

    I can get a set of RB5's for less and except for the lowest bass - will sound much better over all.

    I have not mentioned here that I picked up a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 on AudiogoN last week for $950. The unit is less than a year old and mint. I thought it was an outstanding deal. So, the SFL-1 will be married to the Bryston and Marantz DV-7010 pushing a set of RB5's with LF10 sub for 2 channel HT. The music system will be the AE-25, Anthem CD-1, and RF7's. That will be it for me - I'm done and you can stick a fork in me.

    Klipsch out.
