If "Cornwalls" were to mate with "Forte" speakers ... you would get "Chorus". []

Best availability where I come from is a place called "London Drugs". Yes. It is a drugstore chain.

Could you please tell me how much it would cost to ship to Canada, Postal Code T3A 4N2? Does anbody know it this will make it through Canada Customs "Endangerd Species" embargo? Do you take Paypal?

Last night I set the x-over in the Amp to 40 ... and on the Sub I set it to 100. The bass improved a bunch ...<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Next project is to experiment with phase shift and positioning the Sub in various locations. I'm not sure yet ... but I may be cancelling some base because of phase ... Question ... how close is "too close" when it comes to positioning the Sub vs. listening position? Right now it is too close I know it ... around 6 feet and it's pointed right at my right listening ear. If I am able to move it anywhere (theoretically speaking) is it better to be forward toward the screen area ... or behind the listening position?

Well if you are wearing headphones to decrease the sound anyway ... get a pair of those electronic noise cancelling headphones. The technology has come a long way in a short time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphone It may be the "Best of Bose"... ... "anti-sound" ... LOL

DrWho that is very helpful. I will try moving the crossover to ~40Hz on the sub first ... and do the others in increments to see the difference. Thanks.

Now that pops one of my misconceptions ...

Sorry ... I should have mentioned the Sub ... <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I have a Polk 505 (a 12 inch) which is not their top of the line ... but does a respectable job. I mean it doesn't need to be a behemoth subwoofer when I have 4 Klipsch 15 inch woofers in my floor standing Chorus speakers ... When the cannon fire starts in the 1812 Overture there is no mistaking them for pop-guns with or without a subwoofer. Hey how about the reverse ... if I lie to my Amp and say there is no subwoofer does that push more low-end toward the fronts and rears? They are quite capable ... Or does that just turn off all signals from heading down the LFE wire? I see a number of experiments in my future ...

Since beefing up the speakers and moving some furniture around over the last month or so ... it was time to go over the settings in the Amp.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I paced off the distance to the various speakers and was all prepared to enter them when I came across the question ... "Large or Small"? When it comes to the Klipsch SS-3 surrounds I don't actually know the proper answer ... My fronts are Klipsch Chorus II ... my rear speakers are Klipsch Chorus I ... each of these weigh in at 90 pounds. One would obviously say that they are "large". My Center is custom built and it isn't a lightweight either. I would say maybe 50 pounds or more. I would say that it is obviously "large" as well. But my Klipsch SS-3 Surrounds are suspended from the wall and if I recall they are only about 15 pounds each. They do have a couple of quite capable horns each ... and a 5 or 6 inch "woofer" ... but relative to the other speakers they are what one would have to describe as "small". But in terms of Amp settings parlance ... should they be set to "Large" or Small"? If I set them to "small" does that "shift" the bass which normally might be sent to those locations elsewhere ... perhaps the rears? For background purposes my Amp is a Sony STR-DA-5000ES

Ya. That's it! Tell her it's art ... then start to dance ...

If your comcost box (Motorola ?) is very very new it will have HMDI ... but more likely it has DVI and a separate optical digital connection. So you may need a DVI to HMDI cable and put the digital audio into your amp separate.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Either which way Lindy is where you want to get your cable from ... good product great prices. And as long as you want 'em. http://tinyurl.com/z8a5w I have used many of their cables and they are very good at prices you won't find in a store.

Coytee I am printing your post out and keeping a copy in my wallet. When I am running out of WAF and about to be scolded for my incurable impulsive behavior I may whip it out and show her ... I could be worse ...

Holy Smokes ... they started out with 10 pair and have 6 pair left. An all Heresy home theatre for that price would be awsome. I'd buy a pair but I would be spending the rest of the summer sleeping in the dog house ...[]

Yes thanks rplace. I did check with the moving companies (but forgot about North American Van lines) and found them to be a little steeper in cost. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> If I was moving a couple "furniture grade" KHorns I would definitely recommend forking out the extra dollars and getting the kid glove service. OK ... I admit it ... I was buying on the cheap. The speakers might have to be masked anyway (darkened theatre and front projection). There is also still the likelihood that I might use a perfed screen at which point they would literally be behind the screed and out of any possible line of sight anyway. ... and <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Texas to Alberta was less than a couple hundred bucks so by way of UPS ... I use UPS for a LOT of stuff I ship. They are pretty good folks there and I have always found them attempting to make it good for their customers ... (sucking up now as the claim is still in process ...)
