PM me with a price on the LF-10, please! (From St. Cloud, MN)

Even with your nasty loud symptoms, they are still consistent with a dirty rotary control. Some here use a cleaner called DeOxit, some use Radio Shack contact cleaner. You will need to take the cover off the receiver, but that isn't very hard. Some rotary control mechanisms (behind the outer knob) even have a little hole to spray cleaner into.
Incidentally, if your sub is hooked up to pre-out or any other line out connector (no LFE connection on non-HT receivers, of course), it won't change volume with the volume control, as those outputs are at a constant level.
Well, the seller gave me the tip to turn the volume knob all the way up and back down 50-100 times (receiver unplugged of course!) Seemed to have solved the problem, there's only a very faint static-type sound at the lower levels on the volume knob.
As far as the pre-outs go, my sub doesn't play with the volume off. The pre-out level is not fixed and is controlled by the volume knob. If I turn the volume all the way down, there's no sound from the sub.

I received my HK 730 today, however something is terribly wrong with it!
I hooked up my speakers and also my DVD player just to test it out. I made sure I had the volume turned all the way off when I turned the receiver on. I turned the stereo on and sound only was coming from my subwoofer. Couldn't figure out why, then I noticed that I forgot to push in the button to activate the speakers. [:$] After turning the receiver on, an incredibly loud crackling sound came from my right speaker when I just barely touched the volume knob.
I checked all connections, unhooked and re-connected them. Same thing. I also hooked my speakers up to the other speaker inputs. Same thing. The crackling sound is loud enough that I think my speakers will blow, NOT something that I want to happen!
I tried it without using the pre-out and pre-in to my subwoofer. Same thing. This sucks! It crackles like my Mom and Dad's old Emerson stereo, except a million times louder.
HELP! (I contacted the seller right away) -

Hey, I'm just up the road in St. Cloud. Nice setup!
And do you really have a 77 foot screen?!? [6]

Thanks for the tip on the system profile, Colin.
I live in St. Cloud, right in the middle of MN. I haven't received the receiver yet. According to UPS it's scheduled to be delivered to where I work on Thursday (my day off). I told ones at work to call me when it comes in. Must be a pretty hefty unit, UPS site says the box is 40 pounds!
Oh, and what price did this unit sell for new? Was it in the $500-$750 range?

[pi] Thanks Bill!! [li]

Does anyone have a detailed spec list on the HK 730? Thanks!

Pretty funny, but pretty fake.
Cars are built with sensors in the bumpers that prevent airbags from deploying at speeds under 35 mph.
Also, if you look at how slowly the airbag deploys, there's no way that it would inflate in time for a person to not slam their face into the steering wheel in an accident.
I can just see it now...kids everywhere smashing bags into the bumpers of cars to try and get their airbags to deploy. [N]

I would kinda like to know what Mark was looking for when he Found that auction... Hmmm.....[
]LOL. Fortunately someone else passed it along to me. It's at over 500,000 views now!

you've got two AUX switchable with the rotary knob, and two tape inputs accessible with the push buttons on the front panel.
So the Tape and AUX inputs can all be used similarly?
THere's no advantage from a noise standpoint to having the receiver volume higher than the rest with the tv volume at a lower position. Depending on the model, your tv might have fixed full level output jacks and a variable set of jacks that varies with the speaker volume inside the set.
I was somewhat worried about too big of a load on the inputs from having the receiver's volume too low and the TV's volume too high. Or is that not going to be a problem?
My TV is a Mitsubishi HDTV, I'll be using the variable audio out jacks.

In a few days I'll be getting a Harman / Kardon HK 730 that I won off eBay! It's my first 'move forward by looking to the past' audio purchase.
Took a bit of convicing with my wife, though. She couldn't understand how a stereo that's 30 years old is better than one that's only 10. 'They don't make them like they used to' just didn't cut it with her!
Here's a question in regards to this: Since there's only 2 auxiliary inputs I plan to connect my DVD player to one input, and route the other audio through my TV. For convenience sake I'll be using the TV remote to control the volume on the receiver. At what level should I set the volume knob on the receiver? 1/4? 1/2?
Also, this is the first time I'll be able to run low-level RCA inputs to and from my subwoofer. What's a good crossover point to set? My Definitive Technology sub has a 50hz or 100hz selectable high-pass crossover and a variable 50hz to 120 hz low-pass filter. And what type of interconnect should I buy? If I use some el cheapo stuff will that be ok?
Thanks a million for everyone's help on here. I know several people (Colin especially) aided in this decision. [

I just sold a pair of Definitive Technology speakers that look just like those Klipsch's for $211! I was going to put a buy-it-now for $75 for them but decided instead to put them at $1 start with no reserve. [

I was doing a search through older posts and I swear if you ever use the phrase 'big ole horns' one more time... [8o|]

LOL. I meant to type "Just thought I'd let you know." Must have been in too big of a hurry. [:$]
-
Whilst browsing the Klipsch product line website, I was looking at the KSW-150 subwoofer, and in the Specifications section it says "AUTO POWER ON:
2 second ON delay, 15 miunte OFF delay"
Just thought you'd know. (I'm a proofreader at work [8-|] )

When I installed the spikes on my RF-25s I noticed an increase in both bass output and smoothness. Makes sense I guess. The speaker cabinet itself is vibrating less due to its being 'anchored' to the floor with the spikes. More energy is transferred into sound than into vibration. It's worth it!
You probably won't notice the holes after you vacuum the carpet or give it a good rub down with your shoe.
-
Alright, was this a really dumb question? Sorry if it was!
-
I read on a different post that people have been selling fake Klipsch speakers? My RF-25s don't have any stickers or serial #s on the back at all. Should I be worried??
-
On receivers that have a 'sub out' preamp output and also a regular pre-out and main in hookup, which would be best to use to hook a sub up to?
If I use the sub out preamp, does the receiver still amplify the entire audio range?
Or would I better off hooking the sub up to the main pre-out and then back to the main in?
Questions would apply to older pro-logic models, not newer ones with LFE outputs.
Thanks!

Suggest that you walk away from this dude. I responded in a like manner (only through regular email channels) to a ebayer who was trying to rip off a fellow forum member and nearly got banned from Ebay. He complained to ebay and they didn't care to hear my side of the story.
Their messaging system is strictly for inquiring about products. Trust, you're making more aggravation for yourself than this guy is worth. Just walk away.
Michael
That's the plan. [Z]

sales people!!! grrr

I work in jewelry sales and many times I get people who are just 'tire kickers.' Example: groups of 15 year old boys in to try on Rolexes. Have we ever sold a Rolex directly to a 15 year old? No. Have we ever sold a Rolex to the 15 year old's parents for them to give to the 15 year old? You bet. Now, I'm not saying that every kid coming in the store gets to try on every Rolex we have. But, I at least answer their questions and get them excited about them.
Being located in a mall, we also have young girls stop in and try on engagement rings every day. The nicer and more accomodating we are to them when they first come in, the more likely they are to come back later when they have a boyfriend. And to me, it doesn't matter if they end up spending $500 or $50,000. Its the satisfaction that they came back because you treated them well and that's $500 or $50,000 that the other jewelry stores in town will never see.
Moral of the story is you never know how your actions might affect a future sale. You'd be surprised how many people are willing to spend more money for better service.
