Please don't throw $110 towards speaker cables. http://www.monoprice.com is your friend when it comes to audio related wire if you really feel the need to bi-wire.
-
Congratulations! We love pictures here so feel free to post them of your new setup!!

The 7001 is going to be a much better value than the 5500. I bought mine for $400 shipped on eBay. You shouldn't have a problem picking one up for $450 or less, plus shipping if its going to Canada.
-
My Onkyo TX-SR805 had an option in the setup menu for either 4 or 6 ohm speakers. Not sure if all Onkyos have that or if its just the higher end ones.

Klipsch refers to the high level outputs as "passthru" which as far as I know means that the high level outputs don't filter any bass from the high level inputs. I would highly doubt any subwoofer damage would occur by listening to your speakers without the subwoofer being on.
-
Its possible that your receiver thinks you have a subwoofer connected. Go into the setup menu and make sure the subwoofer option is set to Off. Please let us know if that helps or if it still seems they lack bass.
Welcome to the forum!

Nope. As long as the Blu-Ray player has 5.1 or 7.1 outputs via RCA interconnects and your receiver has 5.1 or 7.1 pre-amp inputs you'll also get the HD sound formats.You're right, but doesn't the player have to be connected to the receiver via HDMI for this to work?
-
Its not an incredible deal but not horrible either. If you're buying everything from the same person see if they'll knock some $$ off if you buy the RS-7s as well. I'd offer $1750 and see what they say.

I missed $500 Klipschorns the other day.
Since the inception of craigslist I've seen ads for:
The above-mentioned Klipschorns
$500 9/10 condition Belles
$450 9/10 condition RF-7s
$600 Cornwall II/Academy combo
$500 9/10 condition KLF-30s (best friend ended up buying them!)
$300 CF-4
And a lot more than I can remember. I wish I had more expendable income, I'd give Colter a run for his money.
-
Easiest thing to do would be to contact Bob Crites http://www.critesspeakers.com and see if he sells a titanium tweeter diaphragm for the KSP-400.
Otherwise replacing the entire horn unit will be incredibly difficult.
-
What do you mean by joined?
Can you take a pic of the back of your receiver so we can see how everything's hooked up?
-
You could use the F3s with a C2 but a C3 would obviously be the perfect match. C3s are very difficult to find, so keep that in mind.
I think at this point you should look into a new receiver, considering your comment about it.
Looks like on eBay STR-DE598s have sold for about $75 tops. You could sell your Sony plus the Quintets and use the money towards a new receiver.
Lots of people on here have had good success with Harman/Kardon, Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo and Marantz receivers.

Thats interesting Monty, I was thinking about doing something like that myself but was wondering how the settings would impact the amp. Like what in the preamp does the functions work/not work. Obviously have to level match, does the master volume on the receiver work all channels, or do you have to use the amp knobs seperate?
The signal going out a pre-amp output is raised and lowered along with the pre-amp's master volume, controlling all speakers at once. If it didn't it would be considered a line-out which is what most CD and DVD players have.
Of course, you will have to adjust the amp's gain controls if they have them.
-
I would leave the tone controls alone on what you're using as a pre-amp and use them on what you're using as an amp if need be. I would imagine that you want to send your amp the cleanest undistorted signal possible.
-
What do you mean "with the decoders" ?
I went from an Onkyo TX-SR805 to my Marantz SR7001 and the Marantz is incredible for both music and home theater.

Keep the rubber side down.So I'm in the process of pruchasing a new Harley anyone have any thoughts or reccomendations for me.
-
I'm assuming you mean humming, because if I ever have an amp that's humbling me I usually try and show it who's boss.
Amp humming can be the result of a ground loop. Try and plug it in a different outlet and see if it helps. Sometimes moving cords around can help too.
-
That's almost identical to how I have my KG 3.5s set up as side surrounds and I think they work very well. Mine are a little farther away from the couch and are sitting on stands that are only about 5" tall so that the drivers sit slightly higher than the couch.
You could always get a pair of Synergy B series bookshelf speakers as surrounds if money is tight right now.
-
Well, if you replace your front mains then you'll have to replace your center speaker. And if you do that you'll have to replace your surround speakers. Why don't you let your wife know that she's going to cost you guys a lot of money. [

What are you using for a receiver? Where do you plan on putting the sub in your room? I know the Ultra is a huge sub but you might have to experiment with it in several different places to see what sounds best.

What exactly is he selling for $169??

Did you accidentally bump the self-cleaning button? [

Blu-Ray isn't just about 7.1 versus 5.1. The lossless audio formats present a significant step up in overall sound realism and dynamics.
If your Onkyo receiver has 5.1 pre-amp inputs and your Sony has 5.1 or 7.1 pre-amp outputs you can connect the two using those inputs/outputs and also get the current HD audio formats.
