Klipsch bumper stickers 50% off & free shipping!
wuzzzer replied to wuzzzer's topic in General Klipsch Info
Just got the 3 bumper stickers I ordered as well. Of course none are actually going on any bumpers, but I'll be displaying at least 1 proudly in my home theater! -
HK does make some great receivers, don't they?
-
RC-7 center channel for sure, then a sub such as a RSW-15 or the new Reference RT-10D or RT-12D.

Did you check the speaker wires to make sure positive is connected to positive, negative to negative? Are your audio settings on your computer set up correctly?

Pics of my friend's KLF30s and my Forte IIs
wuzzzer replied to wuzzzer's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Yep, they were on the outside until today. I just moved them to the inside so I could get a better feel for the KLF30s. Trust me, I will be rocking the KLF30s until the last second possible when my friend finally comes to pick them up. No idea how long that will be, but it could be quite a while. Just got done to listening to Queen...good thing my house is 66 years old and the foundation and walls are nice and settled! I can imagine causing some serious structural damage with any house less than 15 years old with these monsters! [] -
Did you have your computer hooked up to your old receiver or were you using something different? Also, just make sure the treble, bass and volume knobs are centered as well. Sometimes its easy to overlook little things. One time I accidentally hit the xMax surround button without realizing it too. It makes everything sound really weird, I personally don't care for it.

For now I'll be using the KLF30s. They really sound great. My friend asked me if I was going to let him come back and pick them up when the time was right for him. I told him I'd think about it. [^o)] -

wuzzzer replied to wuzzzer's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
They have been moved to the other side of the room...just bought some styrofoam sheets at Home Depot to get them ready to ship! Yep, the Forte IIs are now King of the Hill here! -
So your Forte IIs are Oiled Oak also? At first I thought they looked too dark, but the color is really growing on me. I like them much, much better than the light oak KLF30s that my best friend just bought. (The color that is, the KLF30s certainly blow the Fortes out of the water as far as sensitivity, but there's something about the Fortes that edges out the KLFs just a wee bit.)

For best signal transfer its best to go from your cable box into your receiver. You'll benefit by having a shorter signal path and less possibility of interference from other components and wires. For video, unless you don't have enough inputs on your TV for everything you hook up to it, I'd just connect the video output from your cable box directly to your TV.

BTW, these are the KLF30s that he paid $500 for. The guy hadn't used them in 3 years since he remodeled his house. He was glad to get rid of them, my friend was glad to get them, and I was more than glad to store them for him! [6] -

My friend just brought them over to my house today. As mentioned in my other thread he's going to be storing them at my house for a while. NO PROBLEM I told him! []

Why do I do this to myself? (Forte II vs. RF-7)
wuzzzer replied to wuzzzer's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
LOVE em! Although, as of today I have a pair of 99% mint light oak KLF30s right next to them. WOW. Too bad they're my friend's speakers that I'm just storing for him temporarily. When he left he asked if I'll be enjoying them for him for the time being. YOU BETCHA! -
Man I'm finding great Klipsch deals on craigslist! (KLF30!)
wuzzzer replied to wuzzzer's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Yes, it was that ad. I had called the seller and asked some questions. My friend called him on Saturday and the guy said he had 2 people come over and hook up their amps and then decide not to buy them. Apparently they didn't like the Klipsch sound. -

wuzzzer replied to wuzzzer's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
She's alright with it for the most part. Sometimes she complains, then I come home from work unexpectedly and I can hear music outside with all the windows closed! I think sometimes she listens to them louder than I do! I was surprised that we watched Ep III in its entirety, too. Prior to that I had put in CDs and listened to a few tracks on each one and then put in some music concert DVDs and listened to a few tracks on each one of them too. As of tomorrow since my friend will be storing his KLF30s at my house, I'll have almost 600 pounds of speakers in my basement! [] -

Me too! I almost bought them instead of the Forte IIs since they came up for sale at about the same time. I'm almost wishing I wouldn't have passed them up, but my friend's been through some rough times lately and he's always loved Klipsch (He's the one that got me into liking them) so I'm glad he was able to take advantage of the deal! -
I sold a KV1 on eBay last year for about $100.
-
Unfortunately I didn't buy them, but I gave my best friend the heads up and he did! He called me at work today and said they were truly mint, not a scratch on them! He said they were a light oak color. He paid $500 for them! Due to circumstances beyond his control he will be storing them at my house for a while. I didn't have to think too hard about that! [6] He's bringing them to my house tomorrow. So now I'll be able to do an A/B/C between RF-7s, KLF30s and Forte IIs. I can't wait!

Sometimes I close my eyes but I'll have to try the glasses off trick.
-
Why? Especially when they're selling for $500-700 on eBay. You could always make money if you sold 'em! []
-
Go get 'em...you'll never regret it!! [6]

One thing to do that's a little tedious but might help you pinpoint the problem is to turn off the receiver and unplug the RCA cables from one of the devices connected to it. Then turn the receiver back on and see if the buzzing is still there. If so, turn off the receiver and reconnect that device and try unplugging a different one and repeat the same process. If you find the buzzing is eliminated or reduced with one of the devices, it might be a good idea to get some better quality shielded cables for it. Another thing that's helped some people is if you determine that the buzzing is coming from a certain device, plug it into your receiver's convenience outlet in the back of the unit and see if that helps.

Ending tonight...bids are low so far. Don't pass this up for a second system or garage receiver! [Z]
