Someone I know went to a wedding recently that had a chocolate fountain. I have to admit, watching the movie really made me hungry for candy in general! [^]

I've had my best success selling things on eBay with auctions that start at $1.00 with no reserve. I was going to put a $75 buy-it-now on a pair of Definitive Technology surround speakers and they ended up selling for over $200! Just be sure to take plenty of pictures and describe any defects in the speakers in detail. Also, try and end the auction on the weekend in the evening, around 9-10pm or so. Trust me, they'll sell for what they're worth. There's enough people on eBay these days that you'll get what you want for them, and maybe more!

When I first purchase my speakers I was particularly smitten by the sound of an acoustic guitar. Even in so-so recordings they sound so alive. And in very nice recordings...WOW How about the rest of you?

Its not a very long run, 3 feet at most. I just won a set of Monster Cables on eBay for $3.01. I'll be looking for another set and then I'll see how it goes. I used to have cables coming out my ears. I guess the last couple times I've moved they got legs. []

Right now I have two sets of pretty thin, generic interconnect cables going from my HK 730 to my subwoofer and then back to the 730 (pre-out, pre-in loop). Would I notice any improvement in sound if I purchased a decent set of cables? I know that with speaker cables the general consensus is not to worry too much about them. Is the same true with interconnects (RCA cables)?

No, it's not true. My Mitsubishi HDTV does 480i, 480p and 1080i. It goes crazy if you try and feed it a 720p signal.

If you wait until www.deepdiscountdvd.com has it, you'll save a decent amount of $$. They have the first DVD on there for $11.98 including shipping.

Willy, that surfing experience must have really messed your brain up. What does that have to do with the craziest audio thing you've done?? [:^)][8-)][*-)] []

Wow! Tim Burton has made some weird stuff over the years, but this was great! Johnny Depp was 110% perfect as Willie Wonka. Lots of humor, beautifully designed and colorful scenes. Rent it tonight!!

Cool! I'll wait until www.deepdiscountdvd.com has it. They have the original Animusic for only $11.98 including shipping!

With over 3300 posts I'm sure that many here benefited from his advice/wisdom. Wow, less than a month after his posting about his cancer he died. Its scary how fast cancer can do that. []

Better to upgrade. If you have RF3 I'd say go with an RC3. Its usually recommended to match speakers with the same series for the best sound match. Should be able to pick one up on eBay for $150-$200 + shipping.

Is it worth getting for a two channel system?

Thanks J! With the one I went into, I asked the guy if they had it and he just said no without even checking. The one I called, the lady put the phone down and came back 5 seconds later and said no. I found some places to buy it online. I'll probably go that route. No wonder brick & mortar stores are closing left and right. Hire idiots and don't train them, what do you expect? Neither one offered any type of alternative cleaner that I could buy instead. Just said no and that's it.

An older Miata. Perfect 50/50 weight distribution, manual transmission, convertible.

Funny, Audio King (Ultimate Electronics) used to be right next to Godfather's Pizza here, too. Godfather's used to get mad because Audio King was always blasting their car subwoofers.

NOOOOOOOO!!! [:@][8o|] http://cgi.ebay.com/Klipsch-ProMedia-2-1-LIKE-NEW-Sound-Quality-like-BOSE_W0QQitemZ5828914559QQcategoryZ94906QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Stopped in at one and called the other. Neither have DeOxit. Am I asking for the wrong thing? Is there something else its called? Where else can I get it from? I need to clean the knobs on my HK 730!

I believe that in the Reference line, from the RF-5 on up they are made in Hope. Same as the Heritage series. Others are made in China.

Not sure where in MN these are located, found them on craigslist: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ele/109261080.html

Here's the specs on each: http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=654&s=specs http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=370&s=specs 825 watts in RW-12 versus 2400 watts in RSW-12 RSW-12 has a passive radiator, RW-12 is ported RSW-12 has low-level audio outputs, RW-12 has no audio outputs

Maxell. DUH. Thanks!! Got it!

I'm sure most of you have seen this poster. Its of a guy sitting in a chair with two huge speakers in front of him. I believe he has sunglasses on and his tie appears to be flapping in the 'wind' that the huge speakers are creating. I've been searching for this poster to hang on my wall in my home theater. Anyone know where I can find it online? Thanks! P.S. I believe Memorex used it in their advertising. 'Is it live or is it Memorex' I think was the tagline.

Sounds to me there may be some sort of incentive or spiff that the other companies are giving out. I used to work with a lady whose boyfriend worked at Audio King (Ultimate Electronics). She said with all the spiffs and bonuses that companies give out, you could go in the store 5 times and ask the same guy which brand of whatever you're looking at is the best one, and you may hear 5 different answers depending on which company has the best spiffs at the time.

I owned Definitive Technology speakers for a very long time. I just sold my front and rear bipolar speakers on eBay. Why? Because I upgraded to Klipsch Reference series speakers. And when I say upgrade, I mean UPGRADE. The Def Techs were the least realistic sounding speakers I ever owned. Absolutely no stereo imaging. Midrange sound was their only strong point. No highs and absolutely no mid-bass. I couldn't even believe how many instruments and sounds I missed in CDs that I had owned for years. I don't have any experience with the other brands you're considering, but if it comes down to a Klipsch vs. Def. Tech decision...
