  1. This is the stand I bought, but I did not pay as much for them. Do a search I'm sure you can find them somewhere else cheaper.

    What are you all talking about being "off-center?". My back surrounds are no longer there. I had them there for awhile and decided they were not putting out enough to justify the cost. Plus I needed some extra money b/c I recently went down on my motorcycle. Are you all saying the screen is off center? If so, it is centered inbetween the soffit and the wall.

  2. Cable covers that go over cables on the floor? If you don't know what I'm talking about they are the covers on the floor that you see a lot in industrial sites, or college classrooms. I don't want the industrial look (of course), but could use a cover that is brown. I only need it to cover approximately 1-3 ft. I would not worry about it so much, but I can't put a rug over it nor to I want somone to smash it by stepping on it.

    Thanks

  3. I would like to comment on the politics of this discussion.

    Does it really matter where the speakers are made?

    I don't think it does. Does anyone hear a difference between an American made speaker and one from China? I think not. It goes back to the speaker wire arguement, if I hooked up Monster cables then Monoprice cables, you won't be able to hear an audible difference (given specific variables are the same). Now if you think ones made in America look better or are more sturdier, by all means buy them. I don't mind someone buying something because they think it is better than another item.

    Are you really putting Americans out of jobs if you buy speakers made in China?

    In the short-term...yes. In the long-term that frees up jobs to concentrate in other areas. America is going to have to keep up by training people in more specialized fields that require higher education. If one refuses to obtain a higher education then yes, that person is at potential risk of becoming jobless for a long time. Globalization is occurring whether you like it or not. A more important question is to ask how are you going to prepare for it.

    -Before I am slammed for being anti-American please understand that I am not. I am just saying free trade is a good thing. I have went to school and worked for along time because my previous job (customer service associate) was not going to last forever. If I was terminated because of outsourcing then I was up a creek...with my Klipsch ;)

    It might help if you went to http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/hdmi-cables.htm and http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/belden-hdmi-update.htm

    an excerpt from the first site is: "......Chinese cable manufacturers are very good at keeping costs down, but not the best at keeping tolerances tight."

    This comment applies to more than just wire manufacturing. Food for thought.

    This really does not discredit what I said. I'm not sure if that was your intent or not. I believe that if you perceive one product as being "superior" to another then you should buy it. Therefore after reading the articles if you believe Bluejeans cables makes the best product, then buy it.

    The article indicates that most American companies buy their HDMI cables from China. So if you're telling me you can hook up a Bluejeans HDMI cable on one screen, then switch it out with a Chinese made cable that I would be able to tell the difference? I would highly doubt it. Especially if it was a blind test. Better yet a double blind test so we both could guess! You would have a greater success of selling me a miracle in a bottle. Speaking of which anybody have one for sale? [:D]

    Great comments, keep them coming fellas.

  5. The debate about good vs bad cables will never die.

    My opinion is that it does not matter. I'm not saying buy the cheapest cables out there, but there are no need for the expensive ones (unless you believe the guy at CC). My vote is go with a good medium. Monoprice.com is where I buy all of my stuff.

  6. The RW-12d is a new(ish) model and replaced the RW-12 adding digital control and a few other nice features.

    It should be noted that the other subs you mention are larger in internal volume and it gets easier to offer performance as the cabinet size increases. The market today is very strong for small subs and we are always trying to keep our subs as small as possible while offering performance that we believe will make people happy. However, we understand that some people are not bothered by large cabinets. There are lots of subs that choose a different formula for success than we choose.

    If you want a sub with higher performance from Klipsch, try the RSW-10d or one of our RT subs.

    I received my VTF3.2 yesterday, and I now understand what this guy was talking about. The size of this sub would make the average person at CC fall over.
