Today's the day!![^]

Because she tolerates big ugly speakers or because she tolerates you??? Congrats!!!!![Y]

Not to me[]. HSU makes quality products, I can't imagine you won't be happy.

That being the case, I'd try to set my receiver up as "no center channel" and disconnect the RC-25. I used an RC-35 for a while with a pair of RF-5's and it really wasn't good.

I have to throw my 2 cents in while I'm at it. I agree wholeheartedly about the above comments about your center channel. By the time you calibrate your front 3 speakers, the 7's will be loafing along. There's no need for extra amplification. If you'r serious about HT, you've got to create a space for a center that can keep up with your mains. Either that or ditch your current center channel and run a phantom center (if your receiver is able to). Your center and sub make the home HT experience, DON'T skimp there. Virtually all your dialog comes from the center channel and it anchors the front sound stage. I'd wager that there's more info on that channel than any other. No one in their right mind would run a relay race with 2 Corvettes and 1 Cobalt and give the anchor leg to the Cobalt.

It's interesting and entertaining (and complicated and maddening) stuff, to me at least. Of course, I don't claim to be an engineer, or even close. I'm just a hobbyist who likes to try and separate the useful adjuncts towards porcine whole body cleanliness from the total hogwash floating out there. And a fine job you do[Y]

There must have been some BIG chickens on that ranch!

Start at 80Hz and tweek to taste from there.

Will they be serving oysters?

Oh, no. What a tragedy! No new phone! How can we go on living without a new Iphone. I mean, it's been a few months now since the 4 came out and only an upgrade? If people start jumping out of buildings because of this it will be APPLE'S FAULT!!!!! Apparantly the news shook up investors enough to negatively affect stock prices.

Nice! It's one of those "Why didn't I think of that" ideas. I'm sure I'll use it in the future, thanks. Carl

Welcome to the forum. Elitedemo gives good advice. Stick with one speaker line for your mains, center and surround. The sub is not as critical as far as matching goes.

I read this morning that the new phone will be the 4S, not the 5.

Better get the camber right also. I have my Fortes angled upward slightly. That would be caster actually. The speakers in my last living room had negative camber, likely due to the concrete floor sagging over the decades. I inserted a 1/4" thick aluminum strip along the inner bottom edge of each speaker to make them stop leaning toward each other. This place has flatter floors, in the living room anyway. I have the same problem with my entertainment center/equipment stand. The floor isn't sagging (concrete) but I think they had a few too many cerveza's for lunch the day they poured it. Thank goodness for adjustable legs.

Dang, I thought this was going to be a front end alignment thread.

WOW, I didn't realize that they've gone up so fast. I've got the only Juicy Music modded D-45 in existance. I wonder what it's worth? [<)]

I've got a modded D45 on my Lascalas, I think it's 25wpc.

My dad always said that in the long run your statement is true. Ha!! Good one dtel!

Somebody has to be first! It might as well be you.

I smell what you're steppin in. I've had pro amps in my HT for the last 4 years or so (see my sig). They have great punch and clarity. You can also swap out the fans for some quieter ones to make the noise much less noticeable, or inaudible.

I saw that too but imagined he could use the subwoofer high level inputs.

Be sure you build in an area that has natural gas. You don't want to be lugging gas cans or have to worry about when your propane tank will run low. You'll also need a slightly larger meter but the gas company can put that in from the onset if you request it. I have mine set to come on after 15 seconds of power loss as to prevent start up for minor blips in the grid. It takes about 5 seconds for the generator to fire up, so you're down about 20 seconds total.

I couldn't find any 20-20k specs on the Rocketfish but I did notice that it had a 15 to 20ms signal delay. I would think either Audyssey or your receivers distance settings should be able to compensate for that.
