  1. Hey kids, rock and roll rock on!

    Bought the CD for my wife last night. I told her it was her early anniversary present. She said that better not be the only thing she's getting! [:|]

    She thought it was alright. "Stay with me" is dead-on. "No matter what" is probably the best song on the disc. I thought it was great!

  2. If you are able to manually change the low crossover point for your front main speakers, set them to 80hz and set your sub to the same level. Your RF-82s can easily play lower than 80hz, but this way the subwoofer will be handling the lowest bass.

  3. Last night I switched my speaker cables to super thick, something like 8 gauge Monster Cables that I used to use for a passive subwoofer several years ago. That was an upgrade from a 16 gauge or so Monster Cable that had been on there.

    I also changed my interconnects going from my CD player to my receiver. They went from Monster Cable's lowest end cord to their almost top of the line cord (500 series or something) that I had bought several years ago.

    The lengths of each cable was shortened, too. The interconnects went from about 8 feet to 3 feet. The speaker cable went from about 10 feet to about 6 feet.

    Is it possible that I actually do notice a difference in sound? Deeper bass, more clarity in vocals and individual instruments? Or does it seem to sound better just because I want it to sound better?

    BTW, I know that Monster Cable isn't the best cable in the world.

  4. I would like your advice / comments about my intended 5.1 set-up. Because of limited place besides my projection screen (10" wide), I need to position my L/R speakers beneath the screen. For this reason, I am considering to use 3 RC-7's for L/C/R becasue the RF-7/-5 are simply too high. An alternative may be 2 x RB-75 + RC-7 on lowered stands (I have another pair of RB-75's for rear L/R).

    I think if your projection screen is 10 inches wide you have problems worse than you think!! [;)]

    Well, let's assume you meant 10 feet wide screen. Are you going to set the RC-7s so they are sitting upright or lay them flat like the center channel? They may sound different depending on how you have them placed.

    In an L/C/R application the best sound comes from using 3 identical speakers.

  5. I was curious as to how many people thought that if I were to trade my RF-7s for a pair of nice Cornwalls if it would be worth it. I don't want this to start a Reference vs. Heritage argument, but I know the Cornwall reputation. Does a midrange horn help with vocal clarity?

    I've never listened to Cornwalls. The only Heritage I'ver ever heard was a pair of Belles back in the early-mid 90s and don't remember much about them.

  6. Back in the early 90s, Audio King was the only store around here that carried them. They had a pair of Belles and a huge Klipsch sub. They played the music so loud it vibrated the satellite speakers which were on the wall behind them right off their shelves and onto the floor.

    Then my friend bought a middle of the line Klipsch sub with .5s for the main speakers.

    A few years ago another friend of mine invited my wife and I over for dinner and we listened to his RF-7s for a couple hours. I couldn't believe how they sounded.

    Now I can listen to RF-7s every day![:D]

  7. a true wave cannon would have the driver loaded at the one third point of the tube....front of the driver facing the longer lenth. wave cannons don't get impressive till you hit the 12 foot lent mark.

    Umm, people, did you actually LOOK and read the auction?? Look at the pic:

    Woofer is loaded 1/3 of the way into the tube...the tube is 12 feet 6" long...its a 12" woofer. What are you complaining about?

    Not defending Bose, but just wondering why everyone bashing individual aspects of the cannon didn't check the facts first.

  8. Have everything on the A side and still am having trouble getting the left speaker to work- So from the rec'vr the wires should go to each high level out put for the Left and Right and should the speakers go to the center group of left and right sectors?

    From the receiver the wires go to each high level input, not output. Then hook the high level output to the speakers themselves. Also, there is a volume control, or level control knob on the back of the subwoofer. Make sure that isn't turned all the way down.

  9. I've been to Old Town years ago when my bro worked part time at a woodworking kiosk (off Route 192 in Kissimmee actually, outside of Walt Disney World)...my coworkers at my present job have never been there before and have mentioned that they'd like to check the tourist strip out. Maybe we should go sometime...I could check out this karaoke joint and aquaint them to Klipsch sound instead, or at least sneak into their control booth and bypass their smiley-face EQ settings!

    Please do! The place had the word "Blue" in their name.

    Also if you go on Saturday night they have a classic car cruise. Last Saturday there were about 300 cars!

  10. I went to karaoke in Old Town by Orlando, FL last week and they had JBL Pro speakers. I would have loved to see how the guy had the EQ set up, since it seemed that from 1khz on up it was boosted by about 30dB. It was so bad that my ears were ringing for minutes afterward. Didn't help that the singers were generally terrible. [:|]

  11. Also your subwoofer has a volume knob that you can use to blend it with your main speakers as best as possible. Best way to do that is to sit where you normally listen to music or watch TV and put on a CD that has some songs you're familiar with that have some decent bass. Start with the volume knob (sometimes called level input) as low as possible. Then have someone slowly turn the knob up until you like how the subwoofer sounds with your main speakers. You shouldn't have to adjust that knob much, if ever after that.

  12. Your problem is that you have the left speaker from your 'A' pair of speakers and the left speaker from your 'B' pair of speakers hooked up. Here's what you do:

    On the back of the receiver where the speaker wire is connected you can see that at the top it says R-B-L and R-A-L. The L and R in each area is for Left and Right. What you want to do is move the wires that are currently connected to the L in R-B-L and move them to the R in R-A-L. I hope it makes sense.

    Then just make sure that the speaker wire that's connected to L (Left) is hooked up to the Left input on the subwoofer and then goes to the Left speaker. Also make sure that the speaker wire that's now connected to R (Right) is hooked up to the Right input on the subwoofer and then goes to the Right speaker.

    This should fix your problems. Please let us know if this helps!

    P.S. The reason why there is an A and B output where the speaker wire goes is that you can hook up two pairs of speakers at the same time. With how I recommended you to hook your speakers up, they will be hooked up to the A output. So on the front of the receiver make sure the output for speaker pair A is selected and always leave the output for speaker pair B turned off.
