  1. Live performance of Badge from the The Cream of Eric Clapton DVD/VHS or LD. Believe the performance was filmed in Hartford Connecticut in 1986. Tim Renwick, now with PF, is playing backup guitar. Awesome, be sure its loud enough so when the bass drum first kicks right in the beginning you feel it.

  2. I believe I notice a difference, but would I get it right on a blind listening comparision? Honestly don't know, but if I kept my eyes closed during the entire listening session I probably would never make the change to either take them off or put the on.

    And my wife says I never listen. 3.gif

  3. I use the RSW 15 now and I love it. I had used a FSR12 (still have it) in the past and thought it was great, but it could not keep up with the RF7s.

    If you have not already tried it, changing your placement in the room, would be a cheaper solution and the bass response is 50% sub 50% room anyway. Don't think you will disapointed with the RSW 15 though if you went in that direction.

  4. When I think refurbished I think why bother. Which one were they thinking of buying?

    I am unfamiliar with any real highend companies selling refurbished goods Your friend mioght consider a DVD/CD/universal player, the costs have come down so, under 100.00 is common and the performance so "close" in many cases to really great stuff.

  5. "I wonder if you can get those other speakers in Natural finish?"

    I think as long as you use very very fine sandpaper and go slowly, you know cause cardboard is good and all but sandpaper can do a number on it, you can get it back down to the original box finish.

    As Amy questioned " Then why did he list the brand name as Klipsch?

    I think its because the speaker enclosure is made from a RF5 box.

  6. I also used the pan head screws, the size recommended in the manual. No issues, just make sure you don't screw them into to far and that its in a stud, might take two or tries to get the speaker to sit flush on the wall and then get it wired up as well. I used those rubber mounts on the back so that was resting against the drywall.

  7. "note these speakers weight about 40 pounds a piece"

    what are they made of cardboard???

    an RF-7 weighs 90 lbs....

    But it's corrugated cardboard, which has some very fine acoustic properties. What I like the best is, the owner is not sure who makes them, but dont worry they come with a full warranty.

  8. Well it was the lamp. A repairman from Unlimited Appliance out of Reading replaced it under warranty. He asked me if I brought the extended warranty via BB and I did. I know that is a whole other topic. Believe me I usually dont but since the DLP technology is new I took the bait. It was $240.00 to add 3 years to the Samsung warranty, so lamps are included for that time. Of course BB says its 4 years of coverage, but the first year is covered by Samsung. Repair guy thought that was actually a good idea in that the lamps cost $400.00 a pop, not the $200.00 that BB salesman told me when I asked the price as I was buying the set. Picture still looks great.

  9. There were a lot of positive reviews from the seller, but look at some of the negative ones. Would love to know similar equipment used on either case. Something does not add up.

  10. Let me preface this by saying I dont own that model, I friend of mine has Yamaha with a similar or the same feature. The wording is a little counter intuitive on the menu, believe you want to set it to Max (for no compression) for the full dynamic range, which should be the same as an off button and preserve the original soundtrack with no compression. Believe the MIN, STD and MAX refers to the volume which you intend to listen to movie on, not the dynamic range compression. A setting of MIN, meaning you listening at a lower volume would compress the dynamic range the most.
