Here's one on vinyl if you want to spend $180 on it!

Most on here would recommend Marantz. I don't have any experience with Marantz except a component system that I bought years ago. I kind of wish I still had it, as it was a pre-amp, tuner and power amp separate system. I would love to see what it sounds like with my Klipsch!

It depends. If you think there's a possibility in the future that you might upgrade your other speakers to Reference speakers, go for the RC-52. If you think you'll probably stick with the Synergy line now and in the future go for the SC-1 or even SC-2.

Yikes! Maybe it would be better if Amy hid each person's post count! [] []

Are you getting rid of your KLF-30s or are you looking to get a second pair for a second audio system? If you like the 3 way design of the KLFs, Fortes or Chorus' are excellent examples that can be had for $400-800 depending on model and condition.

I know I've got a ways to go to catch up to certain people here, but it seems like only yesterday I was signing up and making my first few posts. Fortunately I've learned a lot and have been able to 'meet' several very nice people on here!

I just received this disc in the mail today. I'm home on my hour supper break and thought I'd throw it in for a listen. I literally have been looking for years for a well-recorded CD of orchestral music that has a 'you are there' recording level. Well, I'VE FOUND IT! The bass that is on this CD is some of the loudest, lowest, most intense that I've ever heard or FELT! Thank you very much justin_tx_16 and TheEar for recommending it!!

On eBay price means nothing until 3 seconds are left in the auction.

The only amp I've heard with my Forte II speakers is my harman / kardon HK3480 2 channel amp. Jay on here has an HK3480 hooked up ro RF-83 speakers and really likes it. $500 retail but I bought one that was only a couple months old for $175 on eBay. I like it because it has both pre-amp ins and outs and sub-outs. As long as the source material is good, it sounds very smooth and powerful with the Fortes. 120 watts x 2, high current design.

As long as it sounds good to you, that's what counts. And remember, just because you own a pair of speakers now doesn't mean you'll own them forever. This coming from someone who bought RF-25s, sold them for RF-7s and now has Forte II speakers all within about a year's time.

We don't know. We're not you. []

Speaking of way too much time on their hands, what exactly were you searching for on the net when you found this?? []

RS-7s?

You might scratch the top of the sub unless you put some felt or something in between the stands and the sub. Also you might get some vibration noise if the volume is turned up loud. Otherwise if doing that helps the bookshelves be at ear level while listening, go ahead!

Nice choice! What other speakers are you running?

They're only an hour away from me. I'd be interested in giving them a listen!

I still haven't seen either. [:$] If I ever get that new 56" HDTV I think it will be the first movie I rent!

Chatted with a few people at work today and I might have a good lead on someone buying my old TV. I hope it all works out!

Its a rare instance that an amplifier is damaged by a speaker hooked up to it. I'd say 99 times out of 100 its the speaker that's going to be damaged. Probably the thing that would most commonly damage a receiver is positive and negative wires touching each other either at the receiver's speaker output terminals or at the speaker's input terminals. Yes, you are getting too involved. [] Your RB-81 speakers are incredibly efficient compared to most bookhelf speakers. As long as you're feeding them quality watts (of which Yamaha is well-received by many on here) you'll be fine. If you had a 5 watt or a 5000 watt amp it would be a different story.

Cool, thanks for all the responses! One probably dumb question is, does anyone know if this TV will display 1080i over component cables? My DVR is a HD decoder and I have component cables hooked to my current Mitsubishi HDTV and it displays 1080i very well. I won't be utilitizing the 1080p function right away at all, so it doesn't really matter to me that it even has it. It is nice to have it for future use, though. I also did see how some of the older HDxx96 TVs had some problems but it seems that the current HDxx97 series aren't experiencing the same issues. If I have time tonight I'm going to run across to the Best Buy that's right across the street from where I work and give it another look if they have one. I literally only spent about 30 seconds looking at it last night, and the Best Buy that I was at last night is about an hour away from me so I don't really want to go back to that one if I don't have to.

I went to a Best Buy today in response to their 36 months no interest on any home theater purchase $999 and up. In their ad I saw that they had a Toshiba 56" DLP TV for $1499, except that it was 720p resolution. On the other side of the display was a JVC tv, also 56" except it was 1080p. Regular price was $2249, its on sale for $1749 plus it comes with a free killer-looking stand valued at $299. The picture looked really good from what I could tell. I didn't have a lot of time to spend with it since my wife caught up with me and wanted to go to supper. We went back after supper but I only had about 5 minutes to look at it again since they were closing. The model is JVC HD56FN97. Otherwise does anyone have any other suggestions for a sub $2000 TV?

They are for hooking up the sub in case your receiver/amplifier doesn't have a low level RCA sub or LFE output.
