My wife's wonderful siamese cat decided, I have no idea how, to put a small dent in one of my RF-35 woofers. My guess is that she tried to jump up on it and her claw pushed into it. I was planning on contacting the Klipsch parts department to get a replacement, but I wanted to gauge on how difficult this might be to do. I wanted to get this done before the RF-35 goes away, and I can still get parts for it. Have any of you on here ever had to replace the woofer cone on a reference product? I will post some pics later if I remember.

Done.

I would like a folder please, Trey.

Yeah, skonopa's right....if you can afford it, that's your best bet.....I already had the CD's before that came out, and I've seen the DVD (They play it on TV)....

Gotta love TSO. I've seen them in concert 3 times and they get better every year. Their light/fireworks/explosions/flames are amazing. I've heard their show be compared to Kiss. Real talent in this band. texxas guy, If you are going to get a TSO album, I would go for "Christmas Eve and Other Stories"......by far their best work....

Thanks for the help Trey!

bump....anybody else out there? Trey?

Thanks for the offer

If Booger can't get the job, I don't know who can. Although he did have a hard time finding a place for the nerds to stay in the movie. Thank you Amy!!!

Can you help me get a job? I noticed a while back that there are two job openings for M.E.'s posted on your website (Principal Mechanical Engineer and Product Designer). I just received a degree in Mechanical Engineering back in May and am currently working as an engineer on air ride suspensions in Brookston, IN. My passion lies in home theater and if I ever got the opportunity to work at Klipsch, I could see myself staying there my entire life. I sent my resume into the email address on the website and also left voicemails for an HR rep. at Klipsch. I still have not heard anything back from either source. Are there any employees on this board (I've already gotten some help from Amy and I thank her for that) that may have some sort of "in" with HR or the managers that are looking to fill these positions? Any help that you can give me would be very appreceated!!! I can be reached at 810-287-8008 or at jbellanti@tuthill.com

I know that I don't have one of the better Yammie receivers, but if I want to really enjoy a movie with my 35's, the volume has to be around -15db.

I'm really surprised that no one has commented on how well this movie SOUNDS!! They did a great job with the mix and my RF/C/S-35's+RW12 made it sound awesome!

I hope this helps! http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/identity.mspx

I was just saying that he should look for the "Enhanced for 16x9 TVs" if he really wanted to fill the whole screen w/o distortion or zooming. I have about 225 DVDs, and only a handful of them fill the screen. I thought that I knew everything about these aspect ratios, but now I am learning more.

Widescreen DVDs are usually released in the aspect ratio that the director shot them in (NEVER 16x9). The 16x9 is a compromise made by some TV big shots when the TV's started coming out. Some DVDs say "Enhanced for 16x9 TV's". Those are the ones that you are looking for. They will fill the screen with no distortion (although I think that very small portions of the original shot may be cut off, but not enough to ever notice). Most widescreen DVD's will still have small black bars on the top and bottom, and your TV or DVD player will usually allow you to stretch the image to fit the screen. I guess this is OK if you are obsessed with getting rid of the black bars, but the image will be distorted (either stretched making the people look funny, or zoomed cutting off parts of the screen). Either way, as the others have said, a widescreen TV improves watching widescreen DVDs a TON! I would suggest a Samsung DLP or a Sony Wega LCD Projection. Good luck!

I just graduated from Purdue with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I would highly recommend it, although it was extremely difficult. I would also recommend Illinois, but it sounds like he is able to shoot for the the big names like MIT. I found that there are A LOT more opportunities to spread out and take some liberal arts classes at a Big 10 type school as opposed to a technical school. Also, the social aspect of a public school is very different that a technical school (although Purdue is one of the most conservative schools in the Big 10). However if one has the opportunity to go to MIT, you can't really beat that for engineering.

I got an email back from the Yamaha rep and he/she said that there is no way to set independent tone controls for each input

Thanks for all of the input. I think that I have to just set my tone controls where I want them for music (they are not too far off center) and I will just deal with it when I watch movies. I'll have to try it, but when a movie is running in a surround mode (DD 5.1 or DTS) it might disable the tone control anyways. I'll have to play around a little more, but I am starting to get the sound to where I want it.

I will have to look into that. I makes sense to me that it should work that way, but it doesn't. Maybe there is a setting on the reciever to allow different tone settings for each input. If I can't figure it out I will give Yamaha tech support a call. Thanks for your help.

You guys are starting to talk over my head, so I'll simplify. Would I gain anything (Besides the obvious multi-disc capability) by using a CD changer to play my music as opposed to a DVD player? Basically I am talking about control like you would have if you were using a stand alone equalizer.

I just mean that I feel like the music is coming through however my DVD player converts the digital to analog. Would a CD changer (I've never actually owned one) offer more equilization options?

I have been listening to music using my DVD player which goes through a Yamaha receiver. I have an 5.1 RF-35 based system, but when listening to music I change the receiver to 2 channel (with sub). I don't really feel like there is anyway to control the levels of my music other than changing the Treble and Bass on the receiver. The only problem with that is that the treble and bass settings carry over to all of my other receiver inputs like DVD and video games. I use the digital coaxial out on my DVD player for movies, but also have the analog (red and white) cables going out the back of the DVD player to the CD input on my reciever, so I don't have to change the speaker setting when listening to music. My question is that I would like more control over the levels when listening to music, without changing the settings for movies. Would buying a standalone CD changer do this for me or would I need an equalizer, or is there a more simple solution? I am going to post this in the 2 channel forum as well. Thanks for your help!

The grills come off on both the RW-12 and RS-35, you just have to use a little force sometimes. Don't be afraid to break them. Give them a nice little tug and then try to pinpoint where they are actually connected at (pin in slot). Then move your hand to that position and just pull 'em off! I think that these speakers look great with no grills, and those copper cones should never be hidden.

Thanks for the advice. I'm glad that I don't have to redesign my living room again.
