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.

JetSnake, hello from a fellow Minnesotan!

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.

Even if the RW goes lower in the frequency?
Sound quality-wise, not db-level
I thought you said that the 'single 12' (RW12) goes to 21Hz and the 'double 10' (RSW10) goes to 20Hz?

Thanks everyone! I'll have to check some of them out.

Thanks everyone! Anyone have any favorites they recommend?

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. [

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.

Mark hows the room treatment working for you?
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.

The RSW series will be a much better choice than the RW series.

If anybody needs to buy the diamonds to put in their KHorns, shoot me an email! (I work at a jewelry store. [

For those of you that have this player I have one question. I see it has 8 analog outputs on the back where it appears it has 2 sets of L/R mains. Is this so I can run one set to a dedicated 2-channel preamp (BBX), and the other 6 (5.1) to a HT receiver? This way I could play redbook CD's, and 2 channel SACD and DVD-A thru my tube rig?
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.

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?
-
There's a video on google that shows one launching from a stop. You'd swear that thing could keep up with a rocket!
A lady I work with was over in Germany a few weeks ago and saw a Veyron there. She got a picture to show me but I haven't seen it yet.
-
Well, there wasn't any scientific way of going about it, that's for sure. [
]I knew I wanted to treat the upper corners to smooth out the boomy bass in the room. I simply made bass traps by using 1 corner block and 4 or 2 tiles depending on the space available in the corner.
Since my speakers are so close to the side walls I knew they were giving off some pretty intense first reflections so I had my wife place a mirror on the side wall until I could see the horn, then had her mark the spot on the wall. I then placed the foam on the wall in that spot.
The time that I notice the biggest improvement is when I turn the volume way up. Nothing sounds harsh anymore.

My basement theater room is 10 feet wide, 23 feet long, 7 foot ceiling. I had the speakers set up along the long wall for quite a while. It sounded great, except I had to sit so close to the speakers and TV that it was annoying.
Our main floor living room is wider than the basement room by about 2 feet. My wife doesn't like the idea of a big stereo in that room and especially not the big TV either.
I'm really happy with how everything turned out. As you can see in the pics a pretty minimal amount of foam, especialy on the side walls, makes an amazing improvement in sound quality. Every CD that I've listened to in the past that wasn't recorded too well sounds 100% better.
I think I might look at getting a subwoofer, maybe a Sub-12 now that the bass is less boomy and tighter.
-
I've noticed those too. Don't they all ship from Hong Kong or something like that? That's why the shipping is so high on them.
I thought it would be cool to get at least a Klipsch one and maybe a harman/kardon or Cambridge Audio if they made those, too.
-
It really helped out all aspects of the sound. Biggest difference is now when I crank it, I don't have incredibly overemphasized treble. As you can see in the pic my basement consists of many funny angles. When I clap my hands now there are much less echoes.
Bass response has increased greatly. The corners of my room used to be really boomy. The foam I put in the upper corners has taken away the boominess and replaced it with a tighter more controlled sounding bass.
-
I know the Architectural section is a graveyard of posts sometimes, so I thought I'd post a pic of my room after my acoustic foam installation. Made a HUGE HUGE improvement in sound quality!
-
Considering the total dollar amount you're already planning on spending on the system, you should probably go with the RC-64.
-
Is there anything I can do to take out some of the "brightness" of the RC-7? It seems extremely harsh. I'm afraid that this is just an accepted quality of Klipsch and that I should look for something else if I don't like it. However, I am hoping there is a fix like swaping out the crossover or other components.
Is there any way you can post a picture of how your system is set up? Also, what components are you using as far as receiver/DVD player/CD player? I've found through upgrading every component in my system this year that a huge upgrade in sound quality can be had by going with better quality electronics.
-
Of course, here I am contradicting wuzzer.... humph [
]No harm done. Your way certainly is the most economical way to do it. But, I'd hate to have Klipsch's top of the line center channel and then downgrade it.
I would imagine that DeanG who has modified many, many RF-7s would have a similar crossover upgrade for an RC-7. Those who have installed Dean's crossover say that it takes the bite from the treble and smoothes the overall sound out.

I'm told Klipsch horns sound "harsh"???

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! [
