My set has had no problems either. I had it hooked up as a stereo set for about a month then hooked up the other two speakers about a month later. All is good.

Da*n salesman! He lied to me. Told me they were made of marine grade baltic birch. I think it was around 1975, I believed it all this time. ACK!

It's a good price. The Heresy's were made of marine grade baltic birch. Buy 'em!

I hooked up the 4.1 refurbs.- or at least half of it. They neglected to send me the "Y" adapter they refer to in the instructions. The front channels work fine. No problem. I really don't think there should be any worries about buying factory refurbished goods if it is being sold by a good company- which Klipsch is.

I am hooking them up on Monday. I doubt theres anything wrong with them. If you can't trust Klipsch selling their own refurbished goods, who can you trust?

The Klipsch MCM systems in theatres sound GREAT. The HPS 4000 is a modified MCM setup ( or at least it was years ago ). There are a few theatres in my area that use Klipsch. LaScala's for left, center, right and heresy's for surround. I wonder what system Regal will put in? If it is the MCM's it will sound great. JBL is really common, most likely do to the cost. I think you can get into JBL gear for pretty cheap. I'm sure they make some really good gear but I know theres quite a few theatres with their cheap stuff and you can tell.

The refub'ed 4.1's showed up today. I only opened the box and inspected the speakers. They looked good but there was dog hair all over the place! What's up with that? You'd expect a little more from Klipsch. Does Klipsch do the refurb or is it contracted out? Looks like they came from California not Indy. Anyone have an answer about how the surround channels are derived? Thanks!

By what I've seen DLP is better looking than LCD. But if money is no object look into the D-ILA projectors. Hands down the best.

My gripe has to do with an individual store. The manager will not come out from behind the counter. You ask him if they have an item and it is an automatic "no". I normally find what I'm looking for despite his laziness. Another store farther away has a really nice manager who takes time out to talk to the customers and help them however he can. I have made it a practice to drive a little farther to shop there.

"you would need a speaker switch like on from NILES that would put you back about $40-60" Why not just a simple electronics switch? How are the surround channels derived? Is it a simple matrix where the left and right are run out of phase? or is there more to it than that?

I just bought a refurb. 4.1 system and have a few questions. Can you run this as a dual stereo setup? Can the rear speakers be controlled by the volume control and/ or turned off/ on? I plan on using the 4.1 for listening to two channel but I would like to have the rears hooked up in a different room and switch them on and off. Any one attempted this? Thanks in advance!

I own a pair of the industrials! They are rated at 200 watt vs. 100 for the home version. There are two fuse one for the mid/ high freq. and another for the woofer. Also, they have binding post connections going into the mid/ high cabinet were the crossover is and a binding post output to the woofer cabinet. Mine are split "B" cabinets, forgot what the "B" stands for, I think it was the fiberglass or triangular mid/ tweeter section. The only problem with them is the wife acceptance factor.I have been scratching my head trying to figure out how to open the mid/ high cabinet so I can dampen the horns. They are built like a tank!

Thank you Mr. Klisch for opening my ears to true Hi- Fi in 1974 when I first heard a pair of your Khorns. May you rest in peace.

Bose does NOT suck- Ha, Ha, Ha!!!

The guy that really got me interested in Klipsch many years ago had Threshold and KHorns. The system was stunning. Never have I heard such a sound stage and such detail. He spent alot of time and money on room acoustics also. It is still the "reference" system of all of our friends. He has a Belle for a center channel and Forte's for surrounds!

After talking to Trey I slapped a 2 amp fuse in the LaScala and tested it by running pink noise up to 100+db ( the pink noise and pressure level was my idea )The fuse has held so I am letting it buck until the monster roars it ugly head again ( hopefully never!). I have the high freq. cabinet that is full width in front and tapers to about 6" wide at the back. It looks like it would be a head scratching endevor to get the cabinet open enough to work on it.

I just found out about Henry Kloss on Sunday. It's very sad. I own AR2's, 3's, 4's and LST's. They are classic speakers that I will always keep. I have owned more Kloss related speakers than any other make- Advent, AR, KLH. Never was dissapointed with any of it. It's sad to find out when contemporary pioneers pass on. Hopefully he'll be greeted by an orchestra up there!

preacher "However, I do think the RF7 will be a bit overkill in my room." I brought home a pair of proScala's one time. You should have seen my wife's face when I asked her to help me lug those pigs into our small apartment!Kept them too!

I ran into a similar problem a few months back. The screws on the crossover for the K-77 were loose. Tightened them and all is well.

tblasing- No offense taken. I've only done business with Raskin at his store. I never have bought any high dollar items from him so if he is higher priced than others, he is. I do haggle pricing in whatever I buy and in this day and age I think the competition is such that most stores will lower there price to what their competitions is or at least close enough to at least entertain. I have ordered from Audio Advisor also and there has been no problem with them either. I was just pointing out another source for the cartridge/ needle thats all.

Here's another good source for turntable related goods http://www.needledoctor.com/ He's a local guy thats been in business for as long as I can remember. I've bought from him in the past as has always been fair in pricing. I have a Thorens TD 125 Mk II with the Shure type V-15 type 3 sitting up stairs in the audio closet ( that place where audio related products rest in peace ) now I am thinking maybe I should pull it out and fire it up.

I am blowing the high frequency fuse in one of my split "B" LaScala's. I can run pink noise up to 94db and then the fuse pops. How can I determine whats bad? Also how do I open that high freq. cabinet up? The low freq. driver is fine and continues to work ( different fuse ). Any help would be appreciated.

Tubular- "5) stopped mixing prozac and whiskey" Hogwash! Does'nt do a thing for the high end of your system!!

Well, can I consider this cool little stereo-link d/a converter I bought to hook up between my computer and my preamp an upgrade? Does'nt make my system sound better but allows me to listen to some 5 gigs of mp3's I would not have been able to with out it. Outside of that: New preamp tubes interconnects room placement of speakers
