The guy didn't wake up at all even though our dog was barking loud enough for anyone who was only sleeping to have woken up. Pretty sure he was drunk/high.

Apparently he wasn't from our area. The police weren't sure what he was doing in our town, other than sleeping in a garage obviously.

No kidding. I do always lock our house, even if I'm outside doing yardwork or anything else. Our entrance door is on the side of the house and you can't see it from the back yard. Unless you're on that side of the house. I think this was the last straw for my wife. She's talked about moving before and now she really wants to get out of this neighborhood. Stinks because its a nice little house with a fenced in and nicely landscaped yard with a deck, garage, shed, etc. The previous owners did a ton of work to the house right before we bought it, too. New roof, central air, new appliances, new furnace, finished the basement, refinished the hardwood floors. And, with the economy the way it is, it isn't the greatest time to be selling a house. However, our neighbors right next door had their house up for sale for just a few months and just sold it.

She went outside to water our plants and garden and our dog ran over to the side garage door and started barking like crazy. She went over and looked in the garage window and there was a guy passed out inside. She ran inside the house and called 911. The police showed up and the guy had no ID and gave them a false name. He said he had never been arrested before. They took him to the police station and fingerprinted him and called later on to say that this guy has a rap sheet that's 11 pages long. He said that he wasn't feeling good and was just looking for somewhere to rest. My wife called me at work right after it happened and of course I freaked out and flew home but the police were already gone. Thankfully my wife was only shaken up by it. I don't know what crimes the guy did in the past but obviously if his rap sheet is 11 pages long he probably wouldn't think twice about hurting someone.

Autosetup adjusted the sub to be +8dB? If so, raise the output level on the sub and run autosetup again.

If you did, send me a private message. [8-|]

My KG 3.5s are only rated at 65 watts continuous/325 peak and I've never worried about the 110 watts the Marantz is rated for. Unless you listen at insanely high levels you'll be fine. By the way, I'll be heading out your way soon! Going to surprise the wife with a mini-vacation to Rapid City/Badlands.

If your plasma TV has any kind of a stand on the bottom just set the KLF-C7 on top shelf and the plasma on top of the KLF.

Explosions, bass drum hits, etc. You'd have to have the volume turned up quite a bit to be pushing an actual 2000 watts through the subs. I would imagine there would be some decent distortion that may or may not be audible at that point.

That's gotta be a potent setup. Glad you were able to match the 3 series all around. Synergy speakers are a great bang for the buck, aren't they?

Your ears will thank me. [] Let us know your results after they're installed!

The titanium diaphragms were a very noticeable upgrade. I always felt the Forte IIs had a dynamic and smooth midrange but the factory tweeter had a slight edginess to it. Its hard to describe sound in words but to my ears the sound coming from the tweeters is more detailed and smooth. Very easy install to do and well worth the $60. Here's my initial post and observations: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/117524/1184943.aspx#1184943

Take a pic of your setup and maybe we can give you some integration ideas.

BIGTIME SCAM. Contact your credit card company ASAP and cancel the card and explain the situation to them.

The others have given good advice and asked good questions. I don't have anything else to add other than I'm extremely jealous. [Y]

If it isn't a huge hassle it is a good idea to have your surrounds match your front speakers. The most important speakers to match though are the center and front speakers.

What model TV do you have?

When you get the matching C2 center than you'll hear what incredible sounds like. []

There isn't an RC-63 center. Klipsch makes an RC-62 and RC-64. If you're looking at the RF-7s you'll want to get the matching RC-7 center. For the best sound you want your front 3 speakers to match as closely as possible. RB-81s would work fine as side surrounds.

Basic subwoofer settings: Turn the crossover setting on the subwoofer itself as high as it can go - set phase to 0 - set sub's gain control to 10-11 o'clock position. {edit} If the RW-10d has digital adjustments for its gain control set it to just below the halfway point.} Subwoofer placement in a room can make a huge bearing on how much bass you hear/feel at your listening position. I personally don't like what Audyssey does to the sound and only use it to measure speaker distance and to calibrate the levels between each speaker. Try turning it off and see what you think. If you set your RF-62s to large and have the Marantz set to Both (which is what my 7001 calls it when both the sub and front speakers are outputting a full-range bass signal) in most instances you'll actually hear less bass. Anytime you have more than one speaker playing the same mono signal (you're sending the .1 LFE signal to three speakers as described above) bad things result such as phase cancellation. Start by setting the crossover on the Marantz to 80Hz. Listen to some bass heavy music and adjust the crossover down to 60Hz and up to 100Hz and see which setting you like best. I would disable any lowpass settings on the RW-10d. Let your receiver handle that. I like to see the horns/woofers of my speakers so that's why I leave my speaker grills off. Not a good idea if you have curious kids who will shove things into the horns or push in the woofer dust caps though. Hopefully you can get everything set up the way you like! Feel free to take pictures of your setup so we can further help with speaker placement and other details!

If you have several items for sale that are very different from each other it can take a long time to set up each listing. If they are the same or similar eBay lets you save your listing as a template and then you can list multiple items very quickly.

An RC-62 will handle the weight of your Sharp LCD just fine. I know of many people who have their center speaker sitting on top of their TV stand and then their TV on top of the speaker. Lots of benefits of doing that, including having the center speaker closer to the same height as the front main speakers, and also allowing you more center speakers to choose from.

Welcome to the forum! The RT-10d would be very nice with your speakers. Subwoofers and receivers have level output controls to allow you to blend your subwoofer to your other speakers so one doesn't drown out the other. Your RF and RC speakers are very dynamic and will handle very high volume levels - you want a subwoofer that can keep up with them.

Start your auctions low. It might cause some anxiety, but since eBay is such a widely-shopped marketplace things will sell for what they're worth. Only exception is if you have something you're not willing to ship due to size/weight/etc. Then its a matter of who's close by that wants it.Make sure you specify where you'll ship. If you only want to ship to United States addresses, make that clearly stated. Even then you'll still get the ding-ding who wants to know how much it would cost to ship something to Zimbabwe. I personally ship only to United States addresses. Schedule your auctions to end in the evening. You can specify the start time (and thus the end time) of an auction. 8:00pm PDT is what I usually start at. If you have mutiple items you're listing, stagger them out slightly so that you might get someone to buy more than one item for you. I've read that Tuesday night is the most shopped eBay night.Pay for the listing to be shown in Bold only if you have something very unique or if you expect it to sell for quite a bit of money. The fee for a listing showing up in bold is up to $2 now and that can eat into the amount you get pretty quickly if its a lower priced item.Encourage bidders to check out your other auctions but don't mention specifically what they are since eBay frowns on that.If you've been on eBay for a long time (even if only as a buyer) and/or you have 100% positive feedback, draw attention to that in your listing. I usually put something like "I have been on eBay since 1998 and highly value my 100% positive feedback. Please email me with any questions you might have!"

If you already have the Synergy C3 you might consider the Synergy F3 floorstanders. Otherwise, with any of the speakers you mentioned you'll want to get a matching center speaker which means ditching your C3.
