Gene BEC posted a link to a great article about klipsch history within a 2 channel thread. "Belle Klipsch" - I bumped it for you. Also try "looking for dope from hope" thread. Will someone please tell me how to include a link in a post. JT

Bump for Gene The article Bob posted is great. Thought others might have missed it since it is kind of buried. Will someone please tell me how to include a link in a post. JT

I really wanted to utilize this link. McAfee kept detecting trojans so I x'd out & ran a scan. I suppose it could be my machine however. JT

Bump I have to believe there is a means to Dean's madness. JT

I ran my 7's continuous for 3 or 4 days. The sound seemed to be better each day. They are playing on happily waiting for Dean. JT

Fish you have mail thanks

Jeff harmanaudio.com frequently has mid to high end avr's listed for around $500 with warranty and 30 day return policy. Supposed to be high current. JT

mrod I purchased a HK 525 from harmonaudio.com that was refurbished with factory warranty. The unit arrived in pristine condition and worked fine. Nice sound with reference setup (IMO). I sent it back within the 30 day return period & bought a 7200 from audiogon for more power. I did have to pay return shipping. JT

thanks for the help guys wstrickland1 thanks for the offer but at this point i'm way to confused to make any decisions

Hi guys my audio knowledge is very limited. This forum convinced me to buy the 7's (L-C-R) & h/k 7200. I use old kc-1's as rears & a svs 2039pc+. my room is 18x16 hardwood on slab - typical home living room. 60/40 movies to music & I prefer 5.1 music over 2 channel. ok : I really like the sound i'm hearing but I guess i'm looking for a little more clarity (detail) if that makes sense. I don't hear any harshness some others complain about so I don't no if dean's mods would be a significant benefit to me. Would it help if I add a used 3 or 5 channel amp? Maybe a Rotel rmb-1075 or whatever B&K's = would be. My budget is about $750. I will replace the h/k with a pre/pro when I can afford to. I suppose a Rotel or B&K because some here say those mate well with the 7's. Am I even on the right track? Which amp & later pre/pro would you suggest? I have searched every audio forum & thread I can find. To me this forum is far superior. You guys should be proud. I learn about audio here & members are respectful. Thanks for any help. JT

Kj5dq is correct. Audio Express in Searcy does have a dedicated HT room with nice equipment. They handle the full Klipsch line. For you Arkansas guys it's probably worth the drive as they will deal. I read this forum for about 2 months and decided to ante up for the RF-7's and RC-7. Thank you forum members for all the advice and knowledge. I asked (Danny) to price match the unauthorized internet stores and he did. He even let me take home a Maple setup while my Cherry was being shipped. May just have been small town service but they earned my business for life. JT

Fini Thanks for sharing. I lost my mother last year and your photos brought a warm smile to my heart. With time the fond memories override the pain. Sorry for your loss JT

Don't know what antique here means but I remember reading 20 yrs or so ago his house was broken into and a pair of klipsch taken. Ole Billy had a cabin on the lake about 30 miles from me b4 he got all famous & married what's her name. By the way she got the Little Rock condo in the divorce. This being my first night to post I thought I would practice. JT

Ken I have lurked around here for 3 months. I searched harman kardon avr every night. The comments convinced me to buy the 525, especially from m00n. Purchased from harmanaudio.com (don't know how to add link) for $430 refurb. They have a 630 available with 30 day return policy. The 525 is warm with my rf-7's & rc-7 I have had for 2 weeks. Makes me wonder about some comments that rf-7's are harsh on top end. Read on other boards. Anyway, I saw & bought an hk 7200 on audiogon last week for $640 just because I figured at $2000 list it must be better so I returned the 525. Both units have plenty of headroom and are very warm but the 7200 has more power. I won't buy another receiver but I may go seperates eventually. I am certainly no expert & if this post actually makes it to the right place it will be a minor miracle. JT
