  1. I have a Velodyne HGS-10BG in my HT setup and it blends very well (at 1/3 volumm setting) with the KLF-30s in an average size room.
  2. The Sony players offered at Costco (BX37 & BX57, at my local one at least) do have the capability of streaming contents from your network (DLNA support should be stated somewhere).
  3. I'd have you over if you weren't so far away I have been using a pair of SS-3 surrounds with my KLF-30/KLF-C7 for a few years now. I think they matche up with the KLFs real well - at least good enough for me to leave them on with my 5.1 setup (despite the fact that an excellent pair of KSP-S6 have been waiting to be added as a part of 7.1 setup for almost a year.) Don't know how rare these SS-3s come by but in my own experience, I've seen way more KSP-S6s than these.
  4. Sounds like a great combination you got there. With the fronts overpowering the others, I guess you should really calibrate your speakers' levels. An SPL meter is handy with this task but trust your ears if you don't. I'd recommend a Velodyne HGS (could find them used cheap) or the newer DD 15" (or above) for your subwoofers.
  5. Hi guys, The center channel fell off its pedestal resulted in both of the banana posts sheared off (where the drilled holes are). Could I replace them with any generic parts or it's gotta be Klipsch's? Thanks in advance, Frank.
  6. I've been using the SS-3s for surrounds (in a 5.1 system) for a while now and I could tell you they keep up with the KLF fronts/center quite well - to the point that I have postponed looking for the KSP-S6s for quite some time (well, till a near mint pair litterally falled on my lap yesterday )
  7. For the price, I'd highly recommended the Onkyo TX-SR876 which is cost approx. $1K on Amazon right now - or dare I say the top of the line TX-NR906 for about $200 more
  8. Hefty power transformer, 3 separate DSPs, top notch DACs (Burr-Brown PCM1796s), Dual push-pull amplification outputs, THX Ultra2 certified...My guess is there should be audible improvements with the Onkyo TX-SR805 - well at least it was pretty obvious A/B'ing the SR606 vs the 805 hooked up the Polk speakers in the showroom I was in.
  9. 200Hz is way high for a sub to cover, IMHO. In fact, I wouldn't set mine above 80Hz (THX pref.) For my system (KLF-30 fronts, KLF-C7 center, SS-3 rears, Velodyne HGS-10 sub), in HT mode, I have the sub crossover setting at 80Hz, but have the receiver's crossover points at 60Hz for the fronts, and 80Hz for the center and surrounds. Works very well for me.
  10. There is no gain controls on unit. I guess you were confused with newer (pro) versions. Also, for the second issue, it does not matter which state the preamp is in...The preamp could be turned off for a few minutes before the amp yet the amp still makes the noises upon powering down.
  11. I recently added a later version of the original Bryston 4B (plain black face plate with black handles) to my system. While it sounds fantastic with the HK as the preamp, I did encounter a few things that I'd like to ask to the Klipsch experts: 1. Noticeable hissing noises from the speakers idling at closed perimeter. I don't hear it at listening position - is that normal? If not, is it expected with amp that's >20 years old? In that case, is there any modifications that could help? 2. When powering down the amp, there are some high frequency ('tweet' litterally) sound coming from the speakers, panning from left to right (as the capacitors discharge?). Would new capacitors fix this? Thanks in advance, Frank.
  12. Great! As it's a vintage gear, I'd recommend you to perform DC Offset and Bias Current at the least, which is relatively easy if you have a DMM. Pay a visit to AudioKarma.org site as how to do this.
  13. Was it a known issue before you get it? If not, then work on the balance knob. I had the same issue on my Sansui but after a healthy dose of DeOxit (and turning all knobs from full on to full of numerous times) it works great since. Hope this helps, Frank.
  14. Where could you find such low prices? Please PM me if that's sensitive info. Thanks, Frank.
  15. I have not tried Roxio or Magix software but have used Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net) for home recordings in a few occasions. It has the options for audio pass through that you could enable to audit to the track (you could always look at the captured waveforms instead though). The software is free and it works pretty well. Check if the Roxio or Magix have similar feature - I think they should. Frank.
