A question for the more knowledgeable (Dean). If it were just the bottom woofer, could it be a problem with the jumper, or do both woofers work off the low post? Carl

I think we lost our newbie.

Everyone's rooms and ears are different. THX recommends x'ing over at 80Hz with speakers set to small. I personally prefer the 60Hz setting for movies. On the other hand I have the mains set to large + subwoofer for 2 channel listening. My settings will not produce the best sound for everyone in every room. After trial and error, those are the settings that sound best to my ears in my house. Carl.

Be sure that when you run your speaker cable you have a couple feet excess coming out of the wall. They are a lot easier to hook up that way. When you're wires are connected to the speaker, you can stuff the excess back in through the hole in the wall. I second the motion that it is a two person job. Carl

OMG it's IMG!

How big is the room?
-
You should have installed the little bumpers on the wall side of the speaker. They keep the speaker from vibrating and allow extra room between the speaker and the wall for the wire. Carl

The RF-5's are slightly smaller than the 7's. If you are adding a sub, that may be another option. Carl

If your system is used 50% for HT than I would highly recommend a sub. Some of the .1 info goes below 20 Hz. The RF7's aren't designed for that type duty. As far as which one......... that's where the debate starts. Most people on this forum (not all) either go with Klipsch or SVS. Both make fine subs. You need to read up on what the subs weaknesses and strengths are, then decide what is important to you and go with that. Remember the most important thing about a sub is set up. Don't overlook it.

Nicholtl, tell us how you REALLY feel

Definitely save your pennies and get the RC-7. I used the RC-35 and then upgraded to the RC-7. No comparison. Put off the purchase ,avoid upgraditis and second guessing. You'll be glad you did. Carl

Best Buy sells the Reference line? I thought they just had the Synergys. Carl

Go with the SVS. You may even look at the PB-10 ISD for $429.00 It's gotten great reviews. Carl

I voted on the way into work. It's a great excuse to straggle in late. Carl

It really depends on the size of your room. If you have a huge room that would max out the ultra than 2 of +'s would be the way to go. If your room is of the size that 1 sub would handle, than go for the ultra. Have you e-mailed SVS with your room dimensions and openings? They are usually spot on with their recommendations. Carl

I don't know how much money you are about to spend, but you may want to keep the 25's and put the money toward a sub. Carl

Great, keep us posted. Carl

Did you make a decision yet Killerbee? Carl

There is currently a similar thread in the Home Theater section that may relate. Carl

My AVR-7200 went out 2 nights ago. on the bright side it is only 11 months old. The bad part (which is really what you are after) is that it took me over 3 hours to get it out of the cabinets it is in. It's so big it had to go in from the back. You will also be pleased to know that the closest repair facility is a little over 100 miles away. Carl

You will learn more about the capabilities of your system if you do it yourself. It will be frustrating at first, but well worth it in the long run. This is a great forum for help as is hometheaterspot. Both forums have very helpful members. I think it is safe to say that this forum's average HT IQ is several points above your average installers'. Good luck, Carl

Compliments instead of flames, thanks Bruins and Underhanded....... Carl

I have found that an SPL meter and a test disc are great for a base line starting point. After callibrating, I still find myself using a different gain for music and HT. Music having slightly less gain than HT. I also found that using a meter and a test tone disc is invaluable if you are e-qing to remedy room response. The only method I have found for setting phase that I consistantly like is my ears. I've used Avia to set phase, but I always end up tweaking it for some reason when I'm done. Carl

Denon 3805 or HK7300???

I've had my 7200 for about a year. It has tremendous, clean power especially when you consider that it is a receiver, not an amp/prepro. S&V measured it in the 2 channel mode and it puts out over 190 watts! I love the way it sounds with the Klipsch Reference series. I was fortunate enough to get one during the model closeout for about $950.00 (about a grand less than msrp). The 7300 has slightly more power and I believe video upconversion. If you can get one at a decent price you will not regret it. Carl
