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.

That's the plan. [Z]

Just as I hoped, they responded:
"Buying a used flute for an 1 year old right after dad sells hid Beosystem 1 for 3,800.00 is extravagant ? 1 used to broker hi line vehicles and believe me after making $20,000.00 with a phone call on an Austin Martin DB7 Cab or $5,000.00 on a late model S Class dealer to dealer the flute wouldn't have been used. Going from 45 - 90 vehicles down to 4 - 8 with 800.00 margins and a bunch of baloney or reconditioning a speaker to pick up $150.00 doesn't even cover the medication, so this is why my sales are private to keep the rabid, righteous, pride filled, whiney I should be God because I know it all out of my
neediness. Diablo means nothing other than someone who obstructs, divides, excuses then accuses. Why don't you go somewhere and have that big bag of puss you are carrying lanced. I am going to Mass at 5:30 because I couldn't use my arms this morning to go with my wife and kids. I will pray for you with all of my heart and offer the suffering this day and especially the eucharist ( body, blood soul and divinity of The Christ ) for your healing. Pax et Bonum, Ed P.S. I love you and God does too......."
Funny, they didn't post this reply on their auction!

While browsing eBay for some stereo equipment, I ran across a few auctions from the same seller who was keyword spamming. Example, selling something like a Sony receiver and putting "Sony receiver - NOT Pioneer, JVC, Yamaha" in the heading so that the Sony receiver comes up when you're really searching for the other brands. It's a very annoying thing that sellers do and I try and report them to eBay whenever I get a chance.
So, I reported the 4 auctions that this seller had and also sent the seller a "General question about this item." The question I sent the seller was Is there a reason why you practice keyword spamming in your auctions? It's a pretty low way to get people to look at them. eBay has been notified.
I know it was kind of tattle-taleish but I did it anyhow. Surprisingly, they answered with this loooong sob story. You can read it here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Q%3AUS%3A1&rd=1
Scroll down to the 'Questions from other members' section and click on 'More' to read their entire response. Wow! Some fate the person has encountered, eh? [
] But wait! What's this?!? The seller says that he hasn't had any income for over 2 years...spent every penny he's had for over 2 years paying the bills trying to be upright...is now selling everything he owns to put food on the table. YEA, right! Check out his feedback from recent eBay transactions: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...&item=-1&de=off
And those are all things that he's bought, not sold. In September alone he has bought over $1200 of phones, flutes, speakers and crap. He's also current high bidder at $5,999 on a Pontiac Bonneville.
I sent him a reply. We'll see if he responds to that. I just find it hilarious that he chose to post his whole reply to me in his eBay auction for the whole world to see. [

NEED HELP!
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
I received my HK 730 today, however something is terribly wrong with it!
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)
