I have a dilema, I am going to upgrade from a rc3 to a rc7 everythings good so far. Budget allows a second upgrade if the price is right . Fronts from rf5 to rf7 or sub from rw12 to rsw15, Opinions needed !!!

I just read an article in audio revolution about the good guys going out of bussiness, so any body in so cal thinking of buying klipsch reference speakers, may be getting good deals soon.

Hey Buck there is a review of the 7 channel version in the sept edition of home theater mag, performance was graded 93 out of 100, I hope this helps.

It actually depends on the aspect ratio of the dvd. Anamorphic widescreen 1.85:1 will fill the whole screen. Widescreen letterbox 2.35:1 (preserves the original theatrical version)you will get black bars top and bottom. And regular 4.3 you will get side bars. But with the new tv you should have aspect ratio control and you can fill the whole screen.

I am not sure but I know they were bought out by Comp USA either last year or two years ago, and the Torrance store will become a Comp USA.

Tranzam01 The Good Guys are closing a few stores. The store located in Torrance has a 25% off sale on all floor samples until 9pm today. On Saturday they are having a super sale at their Long Beach store, from all the other stores that are closing. I think the sale only applies to the floor sample inventory. I hope this helps.

007 You are right, BUT Goodguys.com ONLY SHIPS to Oregon, Nevada, California and I think Washington. It does not carry the intire klipsch line.

Remeber if the store is a klipsch authorize dealer, only local sales.I think that's how it works.

I just bought the B&K 125x3 to run my fronts (rf5,rc3) of my 3802, anyone with a similar setup or B&K amps care to comment on B&K.

Iam runnig my rf5s with the denon 3802, and Iam planning to add a rotel 1075. How much of a inprovement over the 3802, A salesrep told me that I was just going sideways, Anybody running rotel with klipsch, how good is the 1075 125x5.

Does anybody know if the rf5 are going to be discontinue. I saw and ad at good guys, a pair of rf5 for $379.00 it sounds very low may be a misprint. Any body know anything.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you use the LFE input in the sub you bypass the internal cross-over in the sub other than that every thing sounds right.

The good guys has a 50% sale going on the rc3II, rb3, rs3II, in store sale.

How does the entry level amps in the $1000 to $2000 price range (Rotel,B&K,ANTHEM,ADCOM ,OUTLAW ) compare to the top of the line avr from Denon, Yamaha & Pioneer.

Yes I went to good guys got about 12 percent off which cover the taxes and a little more, plus no interest.

Ok I got the rf5 and the rw12 even after all of you guys opinions which were very helpfull I just did not like the rsw10 performance plus it was a return and was a little beatup on top. Review system denon 4802r denon 2900. rf7 were just to big for my set up. I got every thing for $2000 out the door no interest for 36 months. You guys think is a good deal.

I was reading the specs of the rw12 and the rsw10, and it seems that the rw12 goes lower and is louder and the price is less any one with any experience whith these subs.

Ok now that i got the sub part out of the way, what about the rf5 vs the rp3s. One more question for about the same i can get the rb75 which is has been advertised as the rf7's little brother. how does the rf5 stacks to the rb75?

I have a quick question, right now I have rp3s at front with no separate sub woofer. I can get the rf5 and the rsw10 for a good price. Would that be a big improvement over my rp3s with their built in subs i hope I make sense.

Yes I will use my 3802 as a pre-amp for now. I have read in this forum that separates are better than receiver in most of the cases.

Does any one have any experience with these two brands and how they preform and compare with the klipsch reference series. Looking at the adcom 7605 125x5 and the rotel rmb 1075 120x5, both amps retail for $1000.00. Which one would you recommend?

I will upgrade to a universal player in a couple of weeks (denon 2200). But my ? is about my set up (fronts rp3 center rc3 surrounds rs3) I am thinking of replaceing my surrounds for the rf25 or two rc3 in a vertical position on stands. Would this be better for sacd and dvd audio play back having two 6.5 vs one 6.5 on the rs3. I hope this makes sence.

It sounded kind of high to me too. They are isf certified and insured. I was also told they would do all the inputs. But I'm going to shop around for a better deal and wait about 100 hr. Thanks again.

First, thanks for all the inputs. I ended up buying the Toshiba. Not only did I get a better deal, but I got the 51hx83(which is their cinema series) instead of the 51h83. Picture wise, HDTV & DVD look excellent. Cable on the other hand is just ok. One more question, for the price($500+) is professional calibration a must or is it overated.

I have a $2000 budget for a rptv. I went to bb and cc. My options are toshiba 51h83 and hitachi s500. Any one familiar with these model or any model that meets my budget?
