anyone have a reccommendation for ONE good DVD or CD with SFX, like helicopter, organ pipes, 1812 overture,... or similar.... without buying 8 different media? thanks glne

Am thinking of building amp using this, has anyone done it before? any comments on sound quality? thanks

with two only 2 sata's i can pull 90MB/s of sustained video.

Yes, i tried getting the parts for the vertical cornwall but they were not available. Klipsch parts people were useless as well. So had to go off and get the speakers from eBay.

Hmm, I don't notice anything noise or distortion but I output digitally over fiber. Current software WinDVD etc all have the decoding built-in. I don't have multiple source, I run everything through the monster computer. All the current receivers all of crap processing bullshit, I would never use or want. I really don't care what is sounds like in a closet or bathroom, kitchen,..

Instead of dumping $2500 into a receiver, if you put even half that in a decent amp or some monoblocks, you will have a killer system.

umm, sorry, SATA II for cost/IO in a raid configuration rulz, SCSI sucks. i've had both, SCSI arrays with 10k cheetah and current 3ware. 3ware crushes SCSI in $/IO in raid 0 or 5. so for same cost of a SCSI raid, i can more than double maybe triple the size of SATA with 75MB/s sustained hard pulls of huge video files.

Why do you need a receiver these days when you can output 5.1 from a decent sound card and with good dvd players, they can decode dts, dolby thx,....???

Hyperthreading is bullshit for intensive apps. this is only a time slice sharing scheme good for non-intensive apps. you will see true dual core if the application is properly threaded to use two cpu's like premiere or povray. otherwise you can manually assign affinity to certain apps so the OS hogs one cpu by itself and your app runs full throttle on own cpu with no contentions for RAM/CPU access. go dual core, if you have computationaly intensive apps, big with bigger cache, if just graphics, higher clock speed. why intel? for price vs. performance they suck compared with AMD. AMD crushes intel in nearly every 64-bit benchmark around and is cheaper.

SCSI, too expensive and slow. get SATA raid but don't use the piece of shit on board controllers get a 3ware card. i crush the perfomance benchmarks on any SCSI system. get the fastest spinning SATA with the biggest cache you can afford. priority is on cache then rpm's

What about this KG-4? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9727242324&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 KP-250-FO ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7416238093&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Any recomendations for a speak that is currently available on the marketplace?

What about one of these old KG 4's?

Hi, A quick check of eBay reveals KLF-C7's for sale in a LONG time. Know anyone who has one for sale? or how do new reference ones sound the RC 64 or 62? or will the Tractrix horns sound horrible with CW's? thanks glne

Hello All, L/R front are Cornwall 2's, L/R back are Heresy 2's, it is tough enough getting these speakers much less a single Heresy 2 for the center channel. What is a good alternative for the center channel besides another Heresy? Thanks!
