I think tomorrow the Dow will be down 50. Then it will be flat for the rest of the week. Beginning of next week it will go back up a bit. Let's see how my guess plays out.

I don't have any experience with that exact receiver but generally Denon is a good match with Klipsch speakers.

Since the RC-62 is from the current generation Reference line, it would probably match the RB-81s the best. Don't skimp on the center channel, its a crucial part of a surround sound setup.

Holy life-size pictures!! []

Why is it that wives have to stick their noses in situations like this? Do you think she would let you stand in her way of anything she'd want to do to improve something that she didn't like in the house? Fortunately for me when my wife and I bought our house we agreed on something before we bought it: The basement was mine to do whatever I wish with, and the rest of the house was hers. I thought this was a pretty fair deal, and I because of it I have acoustic foam, corner bass traps, oak speakers that match NOTHING else in the room, a 56" TV, a subwoofer that is 46" tall and stands out like a sore thumb, wires everywhere, and (best of all) a huge smile on my face. I agree with others who have said to move the speaker out a little bit if possible. Even very small changes to speaker position can help quite a bit.

I just asked my wife and she said its called a Swiffer duster.

They turned out to be great ones. About as mint as you can possibly get, passives are perfect without the pushed in dust cap that many have. The seller originally had them advertised for $400. After about a week on craigslist he dropped them to $275. I showed up cash in hand the next day.

I run my Forte IIs without the grills. I like looking at the horns and woofers instead of black fabric.

I just looked on eBay to see how much Fortes have been selling for...one Forte II oiled oak pair like mine went for over $600! Every time I see that I can't believe I only paid $275 for mine!

My wife has one of those too. I should try it out sometime.

I'm stuck at my house with about a 3 foot drift around my garage and my wife's car. We didn't end up going to Morris last night...thank God! They get crazy drifts out there anytime it snows, we probably would have been stuck out there for days. It would be fun to still go as I'm sure the freeways and main roads have been plowed well. I don't have a snowblower so it should be fun shoveling out. []

Honestly you're better off leaving the sub in On mode all the time. It will draw virtually the same amount of power in standby as opposed to On as long as its not amplifying an audio signal. That way your sub is always ready to pound instead of waiting for it to power up.

Watched the animated movie "Hoodwinked" last night. Pretty funny movie and it sounded great. Boosting the audio signal +5 decibels didn't seem to negatively affect the audio at all.

Thanks for the answer. I'm not sure about the milliwatt variation, I'll have to track down the manual and see. I was thinking it might mask some noise as well. I just didn't want it to be a case where raising the level too high would be too hot of a signal for the receiver and introduce distortion into the system. Well, looks like the manual simply states that it adjusts the output level in 0.5dB increments. I was a little off in how much it can be adjusted, its plus or minus 10 dB in .5dB increments. Right now I have it adjusted to +5.0dB. I'm going to watch a movie and see how it goes.

Well, my wife just decided to tell me that she was planning on me coming with her this weekend to visit some of her friends that live in western MN. I really wanted to meet you guys and listen to some great speakers. Next time I guess. []

Do you see a Buy-It-Now button? No. This is a scam auction. All scam auctions such as this will talk about some incredibly low Buy-It-Now price, but not offer a button to be able to purchase the item at that price. Instead, you are required to contact the seller through the email they list and not through eBay's 'Ask Sell a Question' format. The auctions that this seller has listed will be pulled before they end. Just watch and see.

Bah! Why does he have to come to Minnesota during the Klipsch Pilgrimage??

If you like deep (sub 20Hz) bass, check out SVS. If you like more bass 'slam' in the 30-50Hz range, the Klipsch discontinued RSW12 or 15 are great, as are the models that replaced them.

What operating system is he using? I remember some people having difficulty getting on the forum with certain OS's.

My Oppo DVD player has a feature that allows you to raise or lower the output level of each speaker in your system. I believe it goes from -9 to +9. This is how they have their DVD player set up to adjust the speakers to blend with the others and a way to compensate for differences in distance between the speakers. Considering that I only have a 2 channel system, this feature isn't much use to me, or so I thought. If I boost the L + R channels, I'm obviously sending a hotter signal to my receiver. Would there be any benefits or drawbacks from doing this? Some DVDs seem to be recorded very low, such as Star Wars III, which makes me turn the volume up on my receiver much higher than I normally would for other movies. I also use my Oppo as a CD player. If I adjust the outputs to +5 for L + R, is my receiver going to benefit from it at all?
