  1. I experience the same "thump" when turning on my RSW-10 ... so i just keep it on all the time. Really made me worry when i first got it... still kinda does.
  2. If you hate watching a movie anywhere other than your house, even when you own a 27" Sony TV (from 15ft) and your friends have projectors, 46"LCDs etc
  3. I like your way of thinking... and Bose Hot Pockets
  4. Its no news to me that my house can be broken into.... I will agree not great to let everybody know, but if you make any kind of attempt, pretty much anyone can find it on the internet. This kinda stuff is everywhere.
  5. Same motherboard? Model? 9 degree F is not much of a difference, if the hotter was say 20 degrees higher it might last a not last quite as long,but prlly not a noticable amount of time. The cards are tested to substain high temperatures for very long times without failure. My guess is its just a read error, or different readings from 2 different motherboards. (130F is HOT, my CPU is at 85F right now[]) However, both temperatures will most likely be absolutely fine.
  6. I would definitely recommend building your own computer. It can be done for MUCH less that 3500$, at least 2500$ could go to more audio equipment[]. I would recommend: (prices are just rough estimates) Intel Core 2 Duo (Conroe) ($200) at least 2 gb of DDR2 RAM (fairly inexpensive at this point) ($200) again a reputable motherboard ( PCI express compatiable IMO) ($100) decent graphics card (x1600pro, 6600gt, etc.) ($100) and raid 0 (twice the speed), 2 new Perpendicular 250 gb drives ($160) That would be a great system for a long while if taken care of, most of the time systems get conjested with all the random crap out there even if they are taken care of, I do what thepathlesstaken recommends where 10-20 GB is used for simply the OS and all your documents are on a seperate partition, so i can reload whenever without taking a long time to do so, a fresh OS is always very nice. However if you just want to improve performance of your current system i recommend running "msconfig" and going to startup tap and unchecking some things you know you dont want starting immediately, bc these take RAM and take forever to load on startup.
  7. I definitely agree Best Buy doesnt portrait Klipsch products as well as they could or should, but without best buy i may still be without a decent (not great, yet) audio setup. The one thing that really got me interested in Klipsch was the flyer offered about the Synergy III series, prlly the only company that offers actual spec sheets at best buy (not brochures showing all their pretty designs) I could tell this company actually was proud of its worksmanship, not like some other brands that gain most revenue based on reputation and presentation. Klipsch definitely should not become one of these companies buying there way into show rooms.... I think the quality is self evident
  8. I have the same problem, but it's because my room is 16x36.
  9. I have the same problem (no crossover settings on my amp)... I find it much better to use the low pass filter.
  10. Again I vote simple T Shirts ^ something like that Black - Copper Logo Silver - Black Logo
  11. Yea, it was ebay. Was not told the full extend of the damage, and im sure that Fedex contribitued some. How would I go about a claim? Or even some reimbursement from the seller?
  12. Thanks DrWho, I also found this site carrying replacement parts for it http://www.partstore.com/ModelDetail.aspx?PageState=1&MfgID=511&ModelID=425007 Think its reputable?
  13. I am going to contact the seller, but it would not be a good idea for me too fully refund the speakers(shipping, etc.), therefore I guess I will repair them. Will they still carry parts for discontinued synergy 2?
  14. Well been saving for a pair of Klipsch Floorstanders for a while now.... about a week ago bought a pair of sf-3s. On arrival.....severally damaged... much more that depicted. Anyway, they sound good considering the damage. Could anyone give me some information on replacement parts, such as price, availablitiy and where to buy them? Im looking to replace a woofer, and maybe enclosure(Dont know how)....May end up making my own enclosure. Suggestions?
  15. I also recently bought a cheapo spl meter (digital , not from rs), I dont really know how accurate it is though, may be a dumb question but how would you be able to tell? Fun to play around with anyway
  16. Most likely just doing that because Playstation 3 is suposed to use Blu ray (correct me if im wrong), i know for sure theres a huge battle between Blu Ray and HD DVD going on for a while as to which will become the new standard
  17. Half Life 2: greatest game ive ever played most likely, great action, sound, graphics, and physics. HL2 Episode 1: great continuation of a great game. FEAR: great suspense (ive heard), wonderful graphics if you can support them[] HL2 Deathmatch: chaotic multiplayer with great graphics,sound and weapons Counterstrike Source: good overall multiplayer
  18. pioneer too....... and as for others lacking.... theres always gonna be room for upgrades []
  19. No, have a good center channel and dont mind bigger speakers[] just would like somethin that sounds good and very efficient........ as for the budget I guess I would have to say $500 max, just askin for some opinions I dont really know where to start looking
  20. Well just got a new stereo system yamaha 5830 amp 5.1, 110w at 8ohm sony 12" 150w sub (wm500) Small pioneer surrounds (dont know the names since they were bought from a private party) Pioneer Bookshelfs for the front (S-HF41-LR to be exact) Not the best but just using it as a basis, i Would really like to upgrade the fronts since the room im in ( which is 36ft x 16ft x 7.5ish ) this setup just isnt cuttin it. As you can see above im on a limited budget. What would u recomend?
