Hey cybertec, How you like that sub? That was the one I had my eye on. SVS has alot of positive talk. And yes, I'm eyeing the outlaws, cuz they seem to be a little cheaper.

As far as subs go, i want to stay around 1000. I've been looking into the svs line, and haven't really found any bad comments about them. At my local ultimate elec. they have a dedicated klipsch room, with 7's all the way around, and holy crap i've never heard music so loud, yet so clean and awesome. The setup had two monsterpower amps running the front, and not so sure about the rears. That's why I was asking about these monster amps. Not too much of a track record on these? Maybe outlaw is my answer. I'm not looking to break the bank on an amp....maybe 1000-1300 tops? And one more question....what's the difference between a pre/pro and a regular amp?

Thanks for the answer Drwho, helps explain alot. Right now I listen to my movies with my denon 3805 about -15 on the volume. I do like watching my movies loud, but not too loud. Fortunately, my neighbors are pretty far away. So an amp that can handle alot of watts at 4 ohms should be my target?

Anyone with any experience with MonsterPower amps? From a numbers standpoint, it looks like a good match...that being the 3 ch amp.

Are The RF7's are 8ohm speakers? Wasn't sure about that. So when looking at amps, I should look at output at 8 ohms or 4 ohms? Sorry guys, I'm fairly new at this amp thing

another question, what wattage should I be looking for with the RF7's? is 200w rms what I should eye? And a 5 ch to drive everything but the rs7's?

Very good info Mr Ear. I will look into those two amps. I've also narrowed my sub choice down to a svs. Man I need another job.....

The 35's are only supposed to have 125w versus the 7's with 200. The 35's are only gonna be for surround duty so not used 100%, so 200w shouldn't blow these suckers?

You guys think my RF35's can handle 200 continuous watts?

From what I've read HVD will be the prominent hi def video format of the future. HD dvd and blu ray are just to hold people over until 2008. I'm not even wasting my $$$ on the current hi def stuff. HVD will own.

Is it best to run power to all 7 speakers from the amp, or should I just run power to the mains? The denon 3805 sends decent power on its own, but nearly not enough for the RF7's. What's the consensus? basically what I'm asking is should I be looking at 7 ch amps, 2 ch amps etc....

Hey guys, just need a little help choosing an amp and sub. Here are my plans on setup: RC7, RF7's up front, RF35's in back(these are currently my mains), and RS7's as side surrounds. A denon 3805 is running my current setup. I've read on here that the RF7's will drown out smaller subs, so I think I'll upgrade. I currently have a small infinity 10". I've decided to put the RF35's in back because I'm limited on mounting options behind my seating position, and floorstanders right behind my couch seem to be the best option.(plus I have an excuse to upgrade them up front with the 7's..but don't tell the wife that). What's the best amp to power those 7's up front? I've heard current is more important than wattts as far as amps go. You guys have the experience, so I'm taking your word over some guy at Ultimate Electronics. So which amp and sub will do the job? Keep in mind it's a pretty big living room, with high cathedral ceilings.--I know it's not the best for HT, but it's all I have to work with. Thanks for the help!

I've known about the new satellites for a while now. As soon as I started to see the HD DVRs prices start to plummet, I knew something was up. They went from 999.00 to like 600.00 within 6-7 months. Here in Phoenix, I'm not sure when my local channels are gonna be HD, but I'm waiting it out. I think everyone should do the same!

Hey myhamish, it's what my co-worker calls me at work. Piper being my last name and G because I always imitate kennyg at work. Thanks for the welcome. I love my speakers, have had them about 5 months. I have the rc 35 but have the upgrade bug on the rc 7. I'm tired of hearing how this speaker blows everything away, and not owning one.

So you don't think those things are knockoffs? I mean, how are they able to sell a 750 dollar speaker for 550.... that is the question. I treat my a/v stuff like gold, so a warranty is the least of my worries. I just want to make sure it's the real thing.

In the market for a cherry rc 7, and I'm not sure if I should bid on one from those ebay wholesalers. anyone with any experience?

Thanks for the reply, strickland. I just feel like I'm missing out on the 7. Just didn't want to make my system uncompatible. It's good to hear the rf 35's will do fine with that beast. Thanks

How do you think this speaker will go with RF 35's? I can't drop 1000 each on the rf 7's, so my rf35's will have to do. I have a fairly large room with cathedral ceilings, so my rc 35 isn't cuttting it. Also how is everyone powering the rc 7? Will my denon 3805 give it enough juice? thanks for any insight!

Well Atomics, since we have the same setup, and I am currently running a 3805 to power my 35 series, I'll tell ya what I think. Or better yet let me get my neighbor to tell you what he thinks.[] I only used my crappy sony with these speakers for like a couple weeks, so I don't have much comparing to tell you, but your speakers will enjoy the juice this reciever gives. The 3805 can basically run the freakin pentagon on its own. The one thing that sucks is you'll have to drop 60 bucks for the setup microphone(doesn't come with one). I tryed setting up my setup without it, but since I'm a noob--no go. I picked up mine for a 1,000 about 4 months ago--I think they've dropped since then. Keep in mind the reason why they are cheaper(they used to be 1300) is because of the HDMI on the 3806's. That's why they are being discontinued. My sony 65" doesn't have HDMI, so I didn't have to worry about it. Sorry for the long post! Good luck!

Congrats on the purchase. I too am a reference owner. (35 lineup). You won't be disappointed. Alot of people on here use the big guns for their HT(khornwalls and such) but the reference line is no slouch. At least you didn't go bose like I originally did. Enjoy em! What kind of breakin time do they require? I think the manual says how many hours....it does take a while. Should I leave the jumper cables connected even though I only have a single positive and negative coming to each speaker Leave the jumpers on unless your running wire to all four connections.

How does this work? I've gone to some websites and looked at mounts, but was wondering how they attach to the speaker. Anyone with experience in this? TIA

Any suggestions on where to look for wall mounts? I know the speakers have keyholes, but I'd like to angle them when mounted. Thanks for the help!

I'm running the Denon 3805 with the "Reference" lineup. The RF35's and everything to match. I am very, very impressed so far. I moved to a new house, and my living room was way too big for my skimpy bose. No matter what you choose, you're choosing an awesome product. Just make sure you have enough power if the room is pretty big.

One speaker as the rear won't work since I have no wall behind the couch--it's open to the kitchen. RS35's wouldn't be good for the sides? I need two behind me(mounted on plant shelves behind the couch), and two speakers on the left and right. My budget won't allow another 1,000 bucks for two more RF35's. I was lucky to get the two I got(my wife rocks!)

Hey Guys, I'm new to the Klipsch world, and I'm putting together a Ref 35 system. So far I have the RC35 and RF35's and was wondering what I should do for my rears and sides. Im running a 7.1 setup. A denon 3805 will power this set. I was thinking of RB35's in the rear and RS35's for my sides. What do you think of this choice? Is there a better combo? Any help would be awesome!
