    Oak Clear.  They have a clear coat type finish.

  2. You’ll need a receiver or something to process the sub signal.

     

    If your TV has red/white RCA outputs you could try those but on lots of TVs when you enable those outputs the internal TV speakers are disabled so you’ll only hear the sub if you aren’t also using external speakers.

     

    No offense, but I can’t imagine that it would sound that great even if you got it to work.

    It doesn't make sense to me why ALL the channels are attenuated. I would expect all channels to be

    referenced to one channel (or the L-R main channels) which would be at 0dB.

     

    Something doesn't seem right.


    The calibration is designed to have all speakers playing at Reference volume when the receiver’s main volume is at 0.0dB.

    I've had a variety of systems over the years:

     

    Nintendo

    Sega Genesis

    Playstation

    Playstation 2

    Xbox 360

    Nintendo Wii

    Playstation 3

    Nintendo Switch

    Playstation 4

    Playstation 4 Pro

    Xbox One S

    Xbox Series X

    Xbox Series S

    Xbox Series S Digital


    I seem to gravitate to Xbox over PS.  I actually really like the current Xbox consoles.  Powerful, quiet, and great heat management.  Really solidly built.  My PS3 and PS4's were all loud and creaky when handling them. 


    Yeah I had 2 PS3s including a fat backwards compatible unit that had a fan that could wake you up from a deep sleep.

    They had a decent sale last night at Best Buy for the new digital Xbox Series X and I couldn't help myself and upgraded my shop Xbox.  I already have an original Series X in the living room with the BD drive and didn't need another drive since I don't by disks anymore.  

    So, from this:

    I am actually thinking about making a racing simulator out of it.  I want to see if I would actually use it regularly before dumping a much larger chunk of money into a real sim setup.  


    My gaming ended with the PS3.  Never had any XBox variation.

     

    Progression went from:

     

    NES

    Nintendo

    PS2

    PS3

     

    I’m tempted to pick up a PS5 and get a couple games just for the graphics that games have now, plus I’ve been a Gran Turismo fan for years.

    I have a full set of Klipsch speakers that my husband purchased years ago.  He would never part with them while he was alive.  I know they have some kind of value, but I've looked at the speakers and can't even find what model they are to look that up online.  How do I go about finding out exactly what kind of Klipsch speakers I have and what their current value might be?

    Very sorry for your loss.  Post pictures or if you’re unable to, type the information that’s on the labels on the back of the speakers.

    Hello, I went with below setup for my new home theater and the room size is 18'W X 21'LX8'H. I feel like the front and center speakers seems under powered. Any suggestions? Does anyone own PRO-250RPW's and are you happy with the power of these speakers?

     

    LR: PRO-250RPW LCR (2)
    Center: PRO-250RPW LCR (1)
    SIDE SURROUNDS: PRO-250RPW LCR (2)
    BACK SURROUNDS: PRO-250RPW LCR (2)
    HEIGHT: PRO-180RPC (4)
    SUBS: RP-1200SW (1)
    AVR: ONKYO TX-RZ70


    Did you run the receiver’s auto setup for your speakers?  Double check that everything is wired in phase?  What channel output levels are your front 3 set to in your receiver?

    I paid $1000 for Klipsch 5 speakers, shortly after, the store I bought them from closed down. What I didn't know is there is no way to adjust trebble and bass. You have to have a degree in computer science to get any help from Klipsch. I'm 60. Just wanted some smaller, good sounding speakers. I'm lucky to know hiw to text and make a phone call. The Klipsch "diwnloader" thing tells me to insert a specific size thumb drive into my computer, insert a Fat32 onto the format. Download the files to a certain thingamabob part of the computer??? Once all that's done I'm supposed to insert the thumb drive into the speakers with all cables disconnected and wait for the flashing led"s that don't even exist on the speakers? Would it have really killed them to install a Pot or two for simple bass and trebble? Man, beam me back to the 70's Scotty, please!


    What speakers do you have?

    Just made a deal on an 83" OLED to replace my older screen burned/ghosted  65" model.

    Looking forward to the additional screen real estate.


    Awesome.  I’ve had my 65” for a little over 4 years now and have been itching to upgrade.

    I have just moved houses, was very careful with my speakers in the move. However, I have now very tinny low sound in one of them. I've checked to make sure positive and negative are not crossed. I have recut and stripped the ends of that speaker wire. I'm wondering what else I can check?


    Make sure the bi-wire jumpers are firmly in place.

    Refurbing my late father’s Forte IIs…need a new/like-new K-25-K 12” subwoofer to replace the current one. Just not hitting as hard as the other speaker and want to swap it out with a new one. Any help/leads are greatly appreciated!


    Very sorry for your loss.  If you post a wanted to buy down in the Garage Sale you might have a little better luck.  👍
