Above is the link for a Niles switchbox which will allow you to connect two amplifiers to one pair of speakers. They are RCA connections. I use with for a tube pre and HT receiver and have not had any problems with it.
The "other" Niles box allows you to conect two sets of speakers to one source. This box however does not accept any spades or bananas, only bare wire up to 14 GA.

It looks like these are actually in Wisconsin.
If you wait unitl July, the Little Guys in Glenwood, Il. usually has their best prices of the year at their tent sale.

I was curious and I tried with RF-7's and did not care for it. Maybe it is better suited to "all horn" type speakers? It just wasn't my cup of tea.
-
I purchased one to try and it was not for me. I listened to it only a couple of times so it's brand new. If anyone is interested in purchasing mine, I would like to sell it for $75.00 plus shipping. Or, if you're in the Chicagoland area give me a call for local pickup or meet. Send me an e-mail if interested to frank.p.hess@sargentlundy.com.

For you R&B fans, this is a must have. It's got girls in it too.....

Above is the link to the Led Zeppelin DVD set at Amazon.com. If you are a fan, you will not be disappointed.

Lose the rubber feet on the sub and replace with spikes. This will tighten up the bass and reduce the transfer of the lower frequencies to your floor and home.

Thanks, I will look them up.

70-90dB - tubes
90-110 - solid state -
Does anyone know if there are any dealers in or around the Chicago area that have Heritage demo rooms? I'd like to give some a listen, but the dealers near me say they can order, but have no heritage for demo.

I do not own them, however I stopped in The Little Guys in Glenwood, Ill. on Saturday and gave a pair a listen. I was hoping they did not sound good, but to my surprise I was very impressed. (They were driven with a Maranz reciever). The salesman said he was not a big fan of Klipsch, but he thought they did a good job with the RF-83's. I would have to agree. I own RF-7's with Deans mod and would not trade them for the world, but I was impressed with the RF-83's. The price was 1,249.00 per speaker.
-
I too would think it will be a very noticable difference. I switched in similar fashion from a receiver to a Bottlehead foreplay with an Anthem MCA-20 for 2 channel listening. Everything improves as others have said. Your 7's will thank you for it.

Rockefeller only.

Replace the rubber feet with metal spikes. This will greatly reduce the vibrations throughout the house.
Call 1-800-klipsch for the exact thread size. Below is a link to some. -
I have to second the tube pre with a solid state amp. I was listening to all solid state and thought the 7's sounded pretty good. However, last week I got a Bottlehead tube pre-amp to go with an Anthem MCA-20 and it has taken the 7's to a whole nother level. I can not see ever going back to a solid state pre, and can't wait to hear what tube mono's (some day) will sound like. I did not understand what all the rage was. I do now.

Thanks for the advice. A couple of the trees I suspect as the cause are actually on my neighbors property, so chemIcals and annual snaking seem to be my only solution. And a good solution it is, my problem was that I neglected to perform these tasks on a regular basis.
-
I hope not either. I plan to be more dilligent in the maintenance of my drains. Monthly "root-b-gone", annual rodding, water alarm near the drain, etc., etc. Luckily, I had all my speakers up on spikes, and very recently just spiked my sub. Thanks again to Jacksonbart for that tip. If I hadn't done that, my sub would be sitting on wet carpet, an ugly thought.
-
I will cut some extra panels to fill in the gaps in back.
-
Make sure to stagger the panels.

I spent the weekend installing a subfloor (Dri-Core) in the basement after encountering some water damage last weekend due to a drain clogged with tree roots and backing up. It was quite easy. All you need is a rubber hammer and a circular saw. It took a weekend to do a 31'x 15' room
It comes in 2'x2' panels and installs with a tongue & groove configuration. Panels are normally $5.98 at Menard's and Home Depot, although they were on sale this weekend at Menard's for $5.44.
While the panels are 2'x2', they are not quite 2'. My drawing showed I would have to cut the last row of panels in half. Instead, there was enough room for a whole panel+, so I gained approx. 7-8 inches over 30'. While Dri-Core recommends using 1/4" spacers around the perimeter for expansion/contraction, I used 2x4's. Carpet to be added this week.

I have had my sub up on spikes now for a month or so, and it has impoved the bass dramatically. It was on capet before and the whole house would shake when listening to bass heavy material. (It was cool, but not "right") I used to have to turn the bass down. I thought that was how it was supposed to be. Obviously, I was wrong. Now when listening to music with the sub, the bass seems "right" and it is in the room, not throughout the whole house.
I could not understand why anyone would need 2 subs in a room. I thought one provided too much as it was. Now up on spikes I could certainly see using another.
If your "whole house shakes", I would recommend trying spikes. I now have the sub turned all the way up and you do not notice it hardly at all. It now blends well with the other speakers.
Thanks for the tip jacksonbart.
