Colin do you want my blood type also... just kidding. I just want to know if refurb is safe.

Is it a good idea to purchase a refurb HK? What would be the best place to get it from? HK?

I have 2 older bookshelf Infinities. They are connected from sub, which is connected to receiver. The reciever is an older Onkyo TX-SV414PRO. I want to get some polk for the front and move the infinities to the back. I can only go to two speakers from my sub SW12 II. It was suggested to connect the rear Infinities directly to the receiver. However I will not be able to filter the lows to the rears on the sub via lowpass knob. The receiver has no configuration menu. Is there any fix to this? Also, the lowpass does filter the lows to the speakers right? What should the lowpass be set to? I notice the lower the number is the more bass goes to my speakers. It would seem to set it so that the front speakers sound as full as they can get right?

Help, Where can I buy RF-10 online? Thanks

Thanks guys! The only problem is that my old SW12 II has wires run to it first. Then from the sub to the speakers. I would have to run long wires to place the sub lateral to listening position then back to speakers up front. Also, I plan to buy one of the lower end HK, provided it can drive smaller floorstanding speakers, and use my old bookshelf Infinities in the rear. Can a lower end HK AVR135 drive polk monitor 50 or comparable Klipsch? I will run wires to sub then what? There are now four speakers. The sub has only two out wire connectors, which go to my two old Infinities. One could say the HK has sub out. Run one wire to sub. However, my sub has regular wire connectors and one set RCA inputs and one set RCA outputs. My old Onkyo does not have sub out. Does sub out go to RCA connectors? I think it is one connection on the back of sub not two RCA right? How can I set this up? Thanks

Would putting a sub just right to the area one is listening a known location for a sub. My sub in front right corner will be in the way of new floorstanding speakers. Any suggestions? Thanks

Help! I have an old Onkyo TX-SV414PRO. The manual say "60 watts per channel in stereo mode, into 8 ohms, with no more than 0.08% THD. In surround mode it provides a full 50 watts of power to the left and right front channels and to the center channel as well. The rear surround speakers each receive 15 watts per channel." It has Dolby Pro Logic surround sound. It is about 12 years old. I am looking to buy Klipsch or Polk floorstanding speakers. I currently only have two front speakers and a sub setup. I might get some rears in the future, which might force me to get a new receiver. I hear HK is good. Anyway I currently have some old bookshelf Infinity Sterling Series 6.5 single woofer with polycell tweeter, which are so easy to power. I have never made it half way the volume knob. Which ever speakers I choose, it will be the smaller floorstanding ones for I want them for highs and maybe mids. I have a Klipsch sub SW12 II, which I have to run wires to first, then from sub to speakers. I am considering RF-10, F-1, or Polk monitor 50. I know the RF-10 are way better than F-1. However, the issue is will my old receiver have enough power to make any of these speakers sound decend? I am considering buying one of the lower end HK to push the speakers I choose. Should I get a lower end HK? However, if my old reciever can push anyone of these speakers, I might keep the receiver for a while. I know the speakers I am considering have different sounds ie bright, smooth. My main concern is having enough power for them to sound good. I do not want to spend $500 on RF-10 if my receiver will make them sound bad. To tell you guys the truth, the speakers I have now do not sound to bad. That could mean I have never really heard good speakers. Recap questions: 1. However, the issue is will my old receiver have enough power to make any of these speaker sound decend? 2. Should I get a lower end HK? However, if my old reciever can push anyone of these speakers, I might keep the receiver for a while. Thanks
