  1. My wife bought me an LCD touchscreen universal programmable remote from Brookstone for our anniversary this year and I love it. It will control virtually anything that is operated by a remote control. Very easy to use, blue backlit screen that makes the screen very readable in dim light. It has replaced my TV, DVD, CD and receiver remotes. It can be programmed for 8 different devices and each button is customizable.
  2. Only $9.08 with free shipping from www.deepdiscountdvd.com! http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=WBD037263
  3. Cool. I was just putzing around partsexpress.com tonight and ran across some banana plugs on clearance. I very, very rarely ever move my stuff around or do anything with the wires. Thanks all!
  4. I don't think he's saying that Denon+Klipsch=bad, but rather that Denon+Sunfire=even better. Sunfire is several notches above most mainstream audio brands.
  5. Any advantage of banana plugs other than easy connection and disconnection to a speaker or amp?
  6. There seems to be many people who recommend Marantz with Klipsch. As far as the F3 versus RF-35, the RF-35 would be the better choice. The F3 is a good speaker, but the Reference series is definitely a better quality speaker than the Synergy series. If you have room, RF-35s would be the best choice for back speakers, otherwise RS-35s would work as well.
  7. It will give you a little more headroom, but remember that doubling wattage will give you only a 3dB increase in SPL. Then again, its always better to have more watts than you need. Exactly how many more than you need is up to you though. If the 200watt/channel amp is of the same quality as the 400watt/channel amp, the 200watter should be fine. Your speakers are very efficient and as far as I know don't have any low impedences that any amp would have difficulty driving.
  8. If you bi-wire remove the straps. If you're not, leave them on.
  9. You can either bi-amp or bi-wire. Bi-amp consists of having two separate amplifiers, one powering the LF (woofers) and one power the HF (tweeters) Bi-wire consists of running two speaker wires from each positive and negative output on the amp/receiver and hooking one to the LF positive, one to the HF positive, one to the LF negative and one to the HF negative. Bi-amping can be very expensive and hard to adjust if you're not using the exact same amplifiers, Bi-wiring has been debated over and over and most say there isn't much benefit to doing so.
  10. I too spent a ton of $$ at Audio King/Ultimate Electronics. A lady I used to work with used to date Paul Glass! Small world, eh? I know John and also the former store manager Tom. As an FYI, someone on the Minneapolis craigslist just posted a pair of 5.5s for sale if you're looking for another pair.
  11. JetSnake, I live in St. Cloud Minnesota and would be happy to arrange a listening session for you with my RF-7 two channel system. In fact, we could do an A/B test with a pair of Bose 401s that I've had for about 10 years if you'd like! []
  12. I'm afraid to be bitten by the Heritage bug so I'll just stay with my lowly RF-7s for now. I know what you mean as far as being blown away.
  13. Are the subwoofer settings on the receiver set correctly? Does your receiver give you the option to switch between 'large' and 'small' front speakers? If so, most receivers will turn off the subwoofer if the speakers are set to large. Make sure there's a good signal getting to the sub first.
  14. I thought you said that the 'single 12' (RW12) goes to 21Hz and the 'double 10' (RSW10) goes to 20Hz?
  15. Thanks everyone! I'll have to check some of them out.
  16. Thanks everyone! Anyone have any favorites they recommend?
  17. Not a problem as my DVD-A player is hooked up to my HDTV. Should it say on the DVD-A disc box if it has a 2 channel option? My DVD player has an option to turn off all the video circuitry and I usually do that when I have a DVD concert on. I usually don't watch what's going on, I just like to listen to the music. []
  18. My h/k DVD player is a DVD-A player. Since I'm only running a 2 channel setup, would it pay to look into getting any DVD-A discs? I'm also using the DVD player's RCA outputs since my amp doesn't have a digital input, if that matters at all.
  19. Absolute best thing I've ever done. Looking at the specs on the foambymail site it shows that the treble frequences are absorbed most by the 2" foam I have. As a result, bass and midrange has been boosted and the overall bass output is much smoother. Having the corner blocks & foam on the rear upper corners has also made the soundstage come alive and be much more forward focused. Basically put, it has taken every descriptive sound word (soundstage, depth, etc) and boosted it up a notch or two.
  20. The RSW series will be a much better choice than the RW series.
  21. If anybody needs to buy the diamonds to put in their KHorns, shoot me an email! (I work at a jewelry store. [] )
  22. Yes, L+R for 2 channel and 5.1 outputs as well. I don't have the same DVD player but my h/k DVD-A player has the same 8 RCA outputs.
  23. For starters, there's a few ladies here along with the gentlemen (Not me, I'm just standing up for the women). [] What kind of distortion are you hearing? What kind of SPL are you listening to the RF-82s at? What amplification are you using?
