i'm letting go of my furman 20pfi. for no other reason than i simply don't need it anymore. since i have down sized to a 3.1 i don't need the extra power correction for 1 amp. it's in great condition haven't had a single issue with it (i really hope not, it's built like a tank!). i have both orginial power cords (15a & 20a). i have also made a custom power cord with gold cryo'd connectors, teflon silver plated wire, and of course a shielded harness with 100% shielded connectors. that's not included, but it could be. i also have the orginial box. i'm thinking $800 + shipping. i'm located in OKC, but i can make arrangements to be in TX. also willing to drive a bit (depending on location).
i'm open to offers, PM me and we can talk.
(sorry about the pic, i didn't do any staging)

the Emotiva rep was the one leading me in that direction. it does make the most sense.
from what others have said the satalite speakers up front are hit and miss. really depends on how you set them up.

ah, let them play....here is more kindling....
Diablo 3 PS3 vs. Diablo 3 PC????
right now ROS isn't coming out until Aug and the PC is having all kinds of fun with Loot 2.0! i really like the online play with the PS3, it's the first game EVER on the ps3 i played multiplayer. i actually did it on accident, i was a level 60 before i even noticed it. i was just messing around and have been playing multiplayer ever since.
oh, anyone getting 3 EVGA Titans to run SLI?????

i wouldn't buy the UMC-200, if anything buy the Fusion 8100. sounds the same as the UMC-200 (according to Emotiva). it's the debate i also have, either 8100 or XMC.
i have 7's and i can say you need 200W per speaker. i would get the 8100 let it power your rear speakers and have your Outlaw just power the front 3. i'm assuming the outlaw amp acts like the emotiva where it divides the power per input, so if you just used that amp with 1 speaker, then you would have 1400w available. so if you used just it for LCR it would be 466w X 3.
of course i only suggest that if you want to go the emotiva route. personally, i'd say let the Elite power the rears and outlaw power mains. that's usually my suggestion if at all possible.
i currently have my 7's, UMC, and XPA-3. i'm thinking of trading out the UMC for the XMC and keep the amp the same.
i really think the amp makes the most difference in a HT set up. yes, i know different receivers sound different, but usually you can't hear the difference unless you are in a 2CH set up or listening to music. at least that is how it is for me. i did all my testing in 2CH, kept the settings i like the best there, and then used it only for HT.
really what you could do is have the elite power everything, see how it sounds, then let the outlaw power everything, see how that sounds, and then let the elite power the rears and outlaw power mains, and see which one you think sounds best, before you buy anything new.
just my 2 cents....

Youth,
you got it right! sorry guys, i can't ask the right question. i've talked Youth's ear off before so he now speaks "Dave". that is why i traded out my fat ps3 for the slim is the bitstream issue. i've told Youth before i don't even own any CD's (well except for those "Bells" - my fellow cable tests probably still hear that CD in their sleep! lol)
i saw something last night about bitstreaming but i wasn't sure if that was the reason so many years ago. i was going crazy there for a moment.
if the new slim and ps4 are the same when bitstreaming or DVD audio are conserned, i will for sure wait until it's much cheaper.
thanks again!

if you are still considering speaker stands i have some i made out of African Mahogony hardwood. these are solid. now, they are not "perfect" i'm not the greats furinature builder, but they are nice. there are some pics of them in my gallery. they are 40" tall and nicely fit the RS-42's. there is also hole drilled in them (hidden) so that you can run speaker wire up them and through the top.
let me know what you think. where do you live? i'm in OKC but the stands are in TX.
-
well, if the fat (orginial 60GB) could play ALL the same sound codex's as the new slim version, i'm going to be upset. that's something i even called Sony about. what ever the newest audio samples were (again, i think it was the HD and up) the fat couldn't play. there wasn't a software upgrade that would do it, it was all hardware that needed to change. again, that's according to Sony and a few other web sites i read on.
i'm still doing some googling and can't find anything except hardward and controller differences. the 4 has a nice 8 core cpu vs. a single in the 3. no one even mentions the audio in either. one article does state the 3 will get a software upgrade to handle the 4K. i probably won't get a 4K anytime soon (maybe when everything is 4k).
i think Youthman has the 4 and a swanky blu-ray player, might need him to chime in.

i used some aircraft grade foam. it's also vibration dampning. check out some of my links in my sig, you will see it. works great. when i got my 7's the both had different "foam" in there and different amounts of it. figured, it couldn't be worse to change it! what i like about the vibration dampning, it took some sound issues out of the speakers. gave me a more solid cabinet.
i would say Dynomat would best compare to what i have. (mine is .5" thick, not sure how think dynomat gets).
-
you can always upgrade the crossovers. i had my 7's bi-amped. there was a slight imporvement, but not enough for me to buy "better" speaker wire. bought the best bi-amping RCA's i could get my hands on, now they sit in a box.....lol.
put you sub question the the Sub catagory. u will get more help there.
i'll tell you this, i have 7's, and i live in an apt. it sucks. every so often, i don't care and watch a movie at "normal" volume. the last time i did that, i swore the cops were going to show up. not trying to be a jerk, my my upstairs neighbors are super loud, so i figure once in a while is ok for me!

anyone interested in a pair of RS-42's? i know, i know, pics....pics....and more pics....
i don't have access to them right this second. they have been boxed up to be kept safe. they are both in great shape. one is better than the other and has the box and all. the other has a small blemish on the grill (bottom point) but you can't see it unless you pick it up and look at that bottom. you can see some pics of the speakers in the links in my sig. if someone is actually interested i could have my buddy take a few pics.
i have 2 pairs that i would like to sell. they both have matched crossover upgrades. i use Sonic Craft and mills (just like ALK). they also have Rhodium WTB binding posts.
i'll set the price at.... of course i will make sure they ship perfectly. i currently live in OKC.
may bad...i don't have a link to some of those pic....but i have a few in my gallery.
oh, of course OBO accepted. i'm trying to find a good home where someone will use them. they are doing me no good sitting in a box. the amp that powers them is going as well (LPA-1), i just have no use for them anymore. i think the RC-7 will go away too. thats for another discussion....
EDIT: here is the original post...i'm about to re-post. today when i get home i'm going to take pics.
my asking price is $400 for all 4 surround speakers. no i don't want to split them right now. click on the link in my sig for the upgrades to the surrounds.
EDIT: sorry, i finally had time to take pics of 1 set of speakers and post them here.

i have a question regarding the new ps4. does it do anything different (audio processing wise) than the ps3? i ask because way back when...lol....when the first ps3 came out (fat version) it played "all the codex's". then the newer slim version came out and it could now play the newer HD or Master codex's. so people like me, sold off the fat for the slim (like all shallow people do!....lol)
i would like a new ps4 (for game reasons) but i can put that off until they come out with a newer version (like always).

Lol. That's what I mainly need help with. I truly don't know the current value. The only item I know a little is the LPA-1, I think its around $450, could be $400. I think it all depends on how much the shipping is. Shoot me a pm with an offer and we'll see...
-
here are some pics. i currently have the mains and center in a 3.1 set up. the rs-42's have been boxed up for the last 3 years (in an air conditioned house).
-
my bad, i thought my location was under my photo....
-
just a feeler....anyone interested in RF-7's, RC-7, RS-42, LPA-1, maybe UMC-1?
u can check out all the mods i did to them. it's all located in the mod section.
a quick run down of the mods:
complete crossover upgrade, High and low side. inductors in the mains. 4N wire through out. Sonic Craft caps, mills resistors, all gold plated connections. added .5" foam to horns (simular result of using a wood horn). the surrounds are also upgraded with sonic craft caps. all caps are matched as well. again, more details if you are interested in the mods.
i should mention the mains and center are not in "perfect" shape. this is why i am also throwing in the Ebony Aircraft grade A veneer. this veneer i specifically chose becasue it's a rich deep black and very nice copper that accents the woofers very well. there is enough to do the mains, center, and i'll also throw in the amount for the sub (it wouldn't do much good for me to hold on to it).
if you are interested i can provide much much much more info.
i honestly don't know the value and would need some suggestions or appraisals.
located in OKC, OK (73099)
i don't have current pics....but they haven't changed since my last pics on here....
-
not really, it's been a few years now. i was first in tulsa, but i have been in OKC since 08/2011.
-
is there any K-heads in OKC? i did a search in the members section with the filter "okc" then "oklahoma" and nothing came up.
anyways, looking for fellow klipsch people in the area.

Youth,
you just made me come out of retirement for this.....
you have just entered my crazy world. you know, once you start with something like this, you can't stop! i still have my FULLY modified RF-7's and still love them. they are stuck being using in an apartment in a 3.1 set up, but they still sound nice.
you should hear a striking difference between upgraded and not. i know klipch sells an awesome and amazing product, but they can't afford "nicer" name brand resistors or caps in all their gear, the cost would be staggering. what trully happens, your speakers get a nice tune up. an easy way to think of it is, buy a brand new (insert favorite sports car) and install new headers, exhaust, and computer chip.
since i haven't been on here in a while, are you thinking of getting the emotiva xmc? it's 2K, a little high for me (good thing i have that 40% off), but from what i have read and heard from emotiva, it seems killer.
sorry, i get off topic quick......
you should love this upgrade.......

i know with the holidays the wallet can be taxed. i'll be the first to suggest, the Emotiva line. right now it's too good to pass up. the deals are increadable. get the UMC-200 and either the 5 or 7 channel amp. not going to suggest a specific amp, just go with the one your wallet can afford. you will never look back! check the emotiva forums for the "For Sale" section, and you might even get a better deal. watch out for shipping though. emotiva has free shipping sometime.
OK, i know i said i wouldn't suggest one, but this would be great. that's $928 (FREE SHIPPING TOO!) and you would have a 7.1 set up and would almost "never" need to upgrade. if you are being adventurous you can scope out the 40% off coupon from emotiva (you have to find someone like me who bought the upa-1 and received the 40% upgrade card....no i am not offering me! lol) and buy it from them. for you that would save you $200. not sure if someone would sell theirs for $100, but you never know. i am waiting to use mine on the XMC-1 which would save me $800!
anyways, welcome to the forums and i hope you enjoy the gear you have.
-
this is what i did. getting a new cup could possibly be the easiest way though.
-
Youth,
just started reading this.....i have extra screws and spacers. i took my RC-7 crossover apart and wired it so they are seperated. i don't need mine. want them? they are free.
pm, email, text, call....
edit: nevermind. i simply didn't pay attention. your cup is broken and spacers is not what you need. unless you want to glue them or something. my bad.
-
i have one of these too, you are dead on, they are great. i have mine for sale, but being honest, i don't want to part with it. it's nicely boxed up and it's nice to know when or even if i will need another amp, i have it on stand by!
good luck on your sale!

updated.
i will also be able to make any of the power cables much longer if needed. i now have access to more of the power wire. unless the request is outrageous i'll make them at any length. again, i'm trying to get rid of my extras.
thanks again my fellow K-Heads.
edit: i forgot to add this, i now apply a thick layer of Aluminum tape to the connector body, which makes it 100% shielded. my current cables are made that way, along with my TV power cable. that cable is the one that makes the most sense to have that way.
