Could someone please ID the model of these Klipsch Speakers? And if possible provide a current value? Thank you

So I went "shopping" for a projector and screen this weekend. I stopped into a local HT shop and viewed several options. I think I have decided on the Sony VPLVW60 projector. It has received amazing reviews and Looks great! The only question I have is what screen to get. I saw the 15K Sony projector on a 6:1 gain screen and was floored. I've never seen anything like it, i was sold on the high gain screen. Then i went online and started researching. Most of what i read said that high gain screens are not necessarily a good thing for a HT, for various reasons. I am querying the board to see if anyone has any first hand experience (like, in your home) with high gain screens. What are your thoughts/opinions/reviews etc. Thanks

WOW.... thanks for that..... beating. "yessir, can I have another" I feel as if i have been evangelized. I now know what I will do, and that is NOTHING. Keep my gear I'm happy with and enjoy my big bold deep sound and the big bold speakers.

I really do love the 2700. I have always had Yammy's not sure why, probably because its all my old man used to have when i was growing up, and now the man is using denon, go figure. I got a killer deal on the 2700 when Tweeter was giong out of biz. I picked it up for 900 i think. What i truely love about this thing is the onboard power and the HDMI hookups on the back. Currently I run a B&K 220 for the RF-7's (I highly recommend putting the RF-7's on a sep amp) and run the others on yammy power. All in all I do like the 2700 and will use it until i become either blown away by another product or till it fails me.

So I'm building a new house with a dedicated theater room. Its not massive. I think about 18x15 - ish. I wasnt able to craft a custom enclosure for the RF-7s to make them fit flush with the back wall. We all know how big these things are and in an effort to "cleanup" the HT I have toyed with the idea of ditching the RF-7's and putting in some In-wall speakers in their place. I know the 2-channel music wont be nearly as good but what about HT? I have a RC-64 and will soon get either RS-7's / RS-63's or Hell I may just put In-walls all the way around for my 4 surrounds. I know this option will look better, but im not too sure I will enjoy the sound as much in HT mode nor do i want to let go of the RF-7's I do love them like my children. Please share your thoughts, and talk me off this ledge.

Good evening all. Well I have struggled with the "to amp, or not to amp" question for many months now. I had an opportunity to "borrow" a B&K 2220 amp from a friend. I hooked it up to my system and WOW you really can tell a difference! I know thats not a very technical or scientific responce, that some of you may be interested in. I can definitely tell a difference, no question. The sound is ............. clearer. The highs higher and lows are tighter and lower. I will continue to "research" this topic and run my surrounds on the amp, but I can say for now I will be purchasing at LEAST a 2-ch amp very soon. Happy listening!

Its not that im unhappy with the yammy. but at high volumes, where there is no or little sound, there is a definite hiss. And when you look at these speakers you expect a greater depth. I've played with settings I'm confident its not that. Maybe the source? all my audio is over fiber and i have low gauge speaker wire connecting everything. The one thing that may be the reason, which i havent attempted to remedy. I have my sub in between my receiver and my RF-7's. I was told this was a good way to set up my system, so the sub would pick up the low frequencies on 2 channel listening. maybe i should go direct reciever to towers. In any case I am picking up a B&K 2 channel this weekend to test. I'll let you all know what i hear. Unfortunately there are a lot of opinions on this topic. I may just have to do what i like best, given the budget of course. I do like the idea of an external 7 or 5 channel amp. It does make sense. I hope there is a noticeable difference audibly. Thanks for the help

Ok so here's my dilemma. I have a brand new shiny Yamaha 2700 that puts out (manufacturers claim) 140w x 7 @ 7ohm. I probably don’t need a separate amp but would the difference be that much noticeable? Also what is the best set-up given budget limitations, which have yet to be defined. Just as a quick reference would the 5-channel x 140w Rotel RB-75 give me something I'm missing? Would I see the greatest gains in simply getting a 2-ch amp for the RF-7's? or maybe a 3-channel for the front 3 speakers? What have some of you experienced in the same situation? Should I just shut up, understand and know that a separate amp is always better than what you have to offer at the receiver? I will have a 7.1 setup soon and really just don’t know what is recommended for optimum quality. Thanks for the help! someone please drop some knowledge on me!

All, I'm finally getting a real media room in the house I'm currently building. I'll be able to go 7.1 surround. My question is: What is the recommended speaker matching setup for the surround speakers? I have RF-7's in the front and a RC-64 as the center. Here are my options. option 1 - 4 RS-7's option 2 - 4 RS-52/62 option 3 - anything else anyone would like to recommend. Maybe a mix of Option1 / Option 2. Thanks in advance!
-
All, Could someone please send me the dimensions to the RF-7's? Thank you!

I have the RX-2700. and love it! runs everything very well.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I have to share my excitement with someone! I picked up a new RC-64 this afternoon and all I can say is WOW!!!! yes, it was quite an upgrade from these little rc-3 I had. I put in my favorite music and movie DVD's and let me tell you that I heard things that i didnt know even existed. The highs are clean clear and bright, but not too overpowering, and the mids and lows are stunningly smooth and tight. I couldn't be happier. I did struggle in getting the RC-64 or finding a RC-7, to match my RF-7's. I'm VERY happy with the 64. (for those who are in the same boat) Just wanted to share my joy! My wife isn't as enthused.
-
OK, so you all talked me into getting an amp so the RF-7's can breath! Anyone have anything to say about any of the following? (too many any's) All 2-Channels. I see no need to amp my surrounds or center, my yammy 2700 puts out 140. I can be easily convinced otherwise though. - Rotel RB-1080 - B&K Ref 2220 - Parasound 2250 Thank you for your input
-
How many channels does your Rotel have? Should I only focus on a 2 channel amp for the RF-7s?

I recently purchased a Yamaha RXV2700 7.1-Channel receiver. 140w x 7. Anyone know of a way to bridge channels on amps like these? I didnt see anything in the documentation. I guess now that i think about it. probably isnt too feasible to do such a thing.... Anyway, I have been thinking of getting an amp to get better sound quality out of my speakers. But with 140w already from my receiver, isn't that enough? or should i focus on getting the most clean power i can get? thanks for the help "confused" Speakers Center = RC-7 Fronts = RF-7 Surrounds = RS-35 Rear Center = Dunno model number, 2 small klipsch speakers Sub
