Hi, I just wanted some suggestions from you guys about what receiver (and any other equipment I would need) I should get for a home theater surround sound system made up of two rf-7, rc-7, two rs-7, and rsw-15 psw. I don't know a whole lot about audio components, but I have been told these are some really great speakers. I have also been told that yamaha receivers are really good. What are some good recommendations for a yamaha receiver. The most I could go for is the RX-Z1, but I was curious if there are other yamaha receivers that would outperform, or do as well as the rx-z1. Would anyone recommend anything other than a yamaha? Thanks! tommy

Yes, Homer Simpson drool indeed!! I visited Audio Express in Conway yesterday and listened to the Klipsch HT in their demo room. WOW! Those babies are impressive. They played the Lion King for a demo. There was a part when a herd of elephants are walking up over a hill, and you could almost actually feel them thundering up the otherside of the hill before they even topped it and came into view! I think they had the RSW 10 (??) playing. They also had the RSW 15 in the room, but I didn't get a chance to feel it! I think I've decided that the RF 7's are the way to go. Now the saving begins, along with justifying to the wife spending thousands of dollars on speakers (not to mention thousands more on an amp and hdtv set!!). I'm sure I can sweet talk her though.

Hi, I'm sure I would laugh at the joke about the heritage speakers and me being from Arkansas, but I'm not really sure what it means?? I think it may be over my head because I don't really know anything about the heritage line. I do know that Klipsch speakers are made in Hope, AR. I also know an employee at that particular site in Hope, and yes, he has a KILLER HT system!! By the way, I like the "sonic wildflower" touch, very nice. tommy

Hi, No, I'm not a UCA student, but my wife is (Physical Therapy). I am attending UAMS Dental Hygiene program. ;-) I have heard some similar advice to the tune that the sound really makes the biggest HT difference. Since I see this theme seems to ring true, I will surely research this matter more before making a purchase. Thanks for your advice. tommy

Thank you guys for the info. I was not aware that speakers can be sooo expensive. At the moment I am simply dreaming. I will be out of school in about a year with a decent paying job, so I plan to start building my system after that. So I'm not exactly sure what the room dimensions will be after I move to a new job. I will definately continue to monitor these forums to learn more about speakers so I can make an informed purchase. Thanks again for taking the time to post your opinions for me! Tommy

Hi, I have to let you know that I am a noob when it comes to sound systems. I know Klipsch are the best speakers you can buy (or so I have been told), but since I have a limited knowledge about speakers, could somebody direct me on a hypothetical purchase. I want to buy a full set of speakers for a surround sound system. Maybe a suggestion of the very best Klipsch has to offer, followed by a second best scenario. I'm not sure what reciever to get either. Best Buy has a nice one: It is a Yamaha 600-Watt 6.1-Channel Dolby Digital/DTS Home Theater Receiver. It sounds like it would do the trick, but I am definately open for suggestions here as well. I want to build my home theater system around a 60" Sony Grand Wega II LCD rear projection hdtv. Also, would it be worth the money to buy the monster speaker wire and such. I know monster cables are the way to go with video, but I have no experience with audio. Any other suggestions related to these questions are welcome as well. Thanks in advance! Tommy
