I have a very well taken care of 5.2 THX Ultra 2 system(with original boxes and packing) that I am in need of selling for new speakers with a wood veneer finish. They have been very well taken care of, and the system consists of 3-KL-650, 2 KS-525, 1-KA-1000 and 2 KW-120's. The 3 KL-650's have been internally coated with Hushmat Ultra dampening material and it greatly improves voicing by eliminating cabinet resonance at all. They have been used only with Monster M2.4 and 1.4 cabling, using electronics run using the AVS2000 signature and HTPS7000signature voltage stabilizer and power center/line conditioner. Retail for this system is $9050.00 us. I am considering all resonable offers, lowballs will not be considered, since I need to replace them, fair market value will be accepted. Please email me at mikepbrowning@hotmail.com

Your best bet would be to go with the Yamaha RXV-657, or equivalent. I think there is a new model now. You get multi-channel direct, 6ch preamp outs for an external amp, multi-zone and it is 500.00 retail new. Take a shot at it you will love it

To be honest I can not say, since it was purchased from Klipsch directly while I was an employee of a reseller. If you have any questions about anything please email me...mikepbrowning@hotmail.com
Thanks,
Mike

I have owned the RF7 system and do now own the THX ultrs 2 system. I like them both but the winner is the THX's.By the way i am selling my THX system 3 kl650's, 2 ks525's 1 ka1000 and 2 kw120's. I have all boxes and it was purchased directly from Klipsch while i worked an at AV dealer. I am asking 5000.00 obo. I need to get some new speakers in a darker woodgrain to match the new motif.

I have a 5.1 THX Ultra 2 system, that i will more than likely need to part with. I have 3-KL650's, 2-KS525's, 2-KW-120's and 1-KA1000THX. I also have all packing and boxes for the above equipment. I have used them for about a year and a half and all the 650's have been modified with a heavy coat of Hushmant Ultra sound deadening material. This made them even more open and smooth, by taking out the cabinet resonance that can occur. Let me know what you think a fair price would be and I will consider all offers. they should be available in a few weeks.

I as well use the THX Ultra 2 system and am quite pleased with it. There are some times when the overall enveloping sound makes you forget you are watching a movie. I may be looking to part ways with mine only because of some room changes and need a more appealing cosmetically package in a woodgrain veneer.
-
I hope you are careful with your speakers since you don't have any warranty.
-
I would greatly recommend getting an outboard and some good interconnects and you will greatly be reqarded with better sound than upgrading to the 4806. Also PM me if you are looking for a THX ultra 2 system, i may be looking to part ways with mine...

using the rvx-42 for a center is fine, they designed it to be used as such, you could also use the RCX4. Either way you have a winner, i would do the RVX-42 personally. that would be a good choice. dont think to hard on the subject, just buy and enjoy.

The RF5's by far are more open, and detailed in the upper range, the bass is cleaner and more detailed. The specs are only a small part of the difference. The F3's have a plastic cone vs. cerametallic cone. The latter being fay stronger, lighter and more rigid allowing it to respond far quicker that the F3 in all midrange and bass area's. There is a huge difference between them. From managing a store that carried both and hearing them side by side, yes it is that big of a difference. Thanks and good luck.
-
the difference is like the difference between a ford focus and an SVT mustang cobra, you cannot even seriously consider the F3's in the same sentence with the RF5's. Save yourself the time and buy the 5's and sit back and enjoy

I am sorry but any dealer who violates his reatiler agreement for a company is absolute scum. They are illegally disregarding the manufacturer who signed them on to faithfullly, and legally sell their product, ruining the market, lowering the actual value of the product, and therefore lowering expectations for the quality for the product. There is a distribution channel for a reason and anyone who knowingly bypasses that should be shut down. I would like to know what someone who works for Klipsch, Sony etc. truly thinks about this subject. If the little guy doesnt like the way things are done in respects to special purchase deals, then they should get out of the business, because you cannot tell me they dont know thats how it is coming into the business. They know the risks of opening a business and they know the risks of being in the market where they are. If you own a business and sell to gray market sellers, i wish you nothing but bad luck because you are immoral and untrustworthy, and shold have every product pulled from you and shit down. You know the risks, you lied, and cheated. Last i checked people were not supposed to rationalise something thats morally wrong, and legally wrong, because they feel like it. If that is the case why cant we do what every we want when we want since the rules dont apply.

how is dishonest selling keeping manufactures honest. And in case you havent noticed, companies like klipsch, denon, paradigm, jl audio, kenwood, boston acoustics, have all signed on with net enforcers to track such products, and klipsch and jl audio alone have cut off probably 10-15 million dollars a year worth of dealers in the last 24 months, they would not do this is if it helped the company....

You either have a ground loop due to AC noise in the line, try a 2 prong to 3 prong grounding adaptor, or you have a capacitor broken on the circuit board causing the interferrence.
-
maybe because the companies chose that retailer for a reason, and the other person was not? Does no one in this country value service, and trust? I am just trying to understand these things.

The best way to mod them would be to sell them and buy referrence....

I am curious how people continually buy products on ebay despite the fact the 99% of the time the product even new has no warranty and those buyers are supporting people who buy gray market goods and then resell to make a profit by bypassing the supply chain the manufacturer has INTENTIONALLY set up to best serve the product. My question is Does anyone car anymore about how much work it takes to engineer/develop/design/build/market a product and then see consumers screw them by purchasing gray market from Ebay or online...WHY?

I am a former assistant store manager for an Ovation store and have a lot of experience with both. To start the Pioneer Elite plasma are by far the best plasma on the market. They are better than the commercial/standard line by offering twice the warranty, better glass, gold plated inputs for durability of connections as well as being the only ISF certifed plasma. you can actually have seperate ISF settings for day and night. 2nd, the Sony SXRD or JVD HD-ILA either one doesnt matter since they are both LCOS, cannot due true pluge(below black) This is a big thing because it greatly increases depth of shadows and and blackness as well as helps bring the true adjusted contrast ratio up by having a larger varience between light and dark in scenes. As for motion, there is still a large advantage to the plasma since there is not down time for a pix to "open/close" and right now 1080p will only make a difference if you are sitting 6ft from a 50" screen, and between 1080i and 1080p still at that distance i will put money down you wont notice a difference with HD programming. As for everything else the Elite plasma has the best color scale, most accurate color temperature(not blue tinted like the sony, and not red tinted like the jvc, another advantage of being able to be ISF certified.) If you have an opportunity to get the Elite plasma from an authorized dealer, go look at them side by side and you see the it is the Elite plasma.

The empty space should be behind the rear channels due to sound reflection. However you will want to use as much "soft" stuff back there as you can. Carefule placement of soft, plush couches and chair will help with sound absorption. be sure to toe in the front Mains, so that if you drew a straight line from the tweeter the lines cross about 12" behind like a triangle. That will help greatly with imaging and partially taking out the back part of the room. and if you continue the line to the back wall, that will be an approximate place for some sort of deadening. Even a bookcase, with foam blocking.padding behind open spots, soft draperies there will help also. You may want to think about somw sort of triangular treatment for the front/back ceiling corners of the room. You can take some 1"x 2" board and make a triangle, mount it in the corner up at an angle and fill the space will loose cellulose/fibrous insulation. Then cover it in grill cloth from Joann fabrics. you can use any color and it wil help a TON....

BIC a long long time ago used to be a competent company. They have now gone the wayside like an avacado green stove.I have seen and heard them, and they are not worth the paint for the plastic drivers.They sounded thin, and boomy. The highs sounded like they were a papercone car speaker. The crossovers are on a plasitic board with tin traces. They are absolute garbage. Find the person who gave the review and turn on their hearing aid. These are the worst speakers i have seen next to the SDAT, and Digital Audio. Stay Away

I would recommend staying away from Sony car audio, Alpine and Kenwood both have an indash single player with MP3 for 199.95. That should be a great price for a good deck. Alpine quite making indash changers years ago because even they could not do it without having them break. Never buy an Indash Changer, especially Factory Ford/GM etc
-
I am assuming you are talking about a non-indash unit. If you are they will not be able to plug right to you factory. You will need to buy an adaptor that will fun anywhere from 50-125.00 plus the changer. I would reccomend Apline or Kenwood changers, Stay away from Pioneer etc they are junk.

I would accept 4500.00 for my system. I agree with the fiar maket value assesment. Any offers please let me know as I am looking to move them asap. Thanks again.
Oh, I am only looking to move this system, as I am ready to try something new and different. After working in A/V for a long time, I just cannot stick with anyone thing for more than a year or so. Expensive hobby I know, but fun it is.
