Bairda,
Sorry to hijack your thread.
Kyle from Groveland, did you see this?

For very little $$$, this little fan has kept my Onkyo receiver 15-20 degrees cooler for about three years.

Wow. just got shot down from the love of my life. No speakers on the floor, so no rf-83's or rc-64 speakers, but know that does free up some additional $, to upgrade other items. Know I have to decide between the 2 kl7800 with 1 KL-6504 for center or just match up likr speaekers together and get 3 of each as a set.

Finally. Is that your smile I see glistening 50 miles to my southwest or a beacon on top of a tall radio tower? Have fun with your new toy.

The monoblocks sound great with my RF-63's. Very similar to the B&K in my opinion. When I bought these monoblocks, I was unaware how long they are(18.5 inches). They are about 2 inches too long for my tv stand when using banana clips. No room to connect with thick wood panel in rear of stand. I was really bummed when I came to that conclusion. This is the main reason I am selling them.
I have also used the 2252b/MA-700 combo with RB-5's and RB-35's with great results.
Now for the B&K, I really love the sound with my 63's. Very nice and detailed with plenty of punch while retaining some warmth.

Del,
Adcom/RF-7's === very brite? LOL
I have a couple of Marantz MA-700(200w) monoblocks I can sell you. Warm/neutral like B&K but very detailed with my Marantz 2252b and Quartet's. Send me a PM if you are interested.

Sorry to tell you what you already know. I took your statement "I am not very technical at all." to the Nth degree!
Hope it's a simple fix.
No problem Lyle. I typed the original post and then decided what can it hurt to look inside. You just suggested what I should have already done before I posted. Marshall is going to recap them while I am down there.
Thanks,
Bill

Check the wires from your tweeter to the crossover for any wires not connected.
Thanks Lyle,
I have already checked for loose wires and came up with nothing. I going to take them down to Groomlakearea51's on the 20th and he is going to open it back up and run tests. Thanks for the photo and instructions.

One more.

Another picture.

I just bought a pair of Heresy Birch Raw. When I hooked them up I notice no sound from the tweeter on one of them. I am not very technical at all. Any forum members in Central Florida could look at these and help me get them going again would be great.
Thanks,
Bill

Klipsch measurements are exact. 33 x 13.5 x 8. I just measured it.

Yes, definitely an upgrade. With that said, the price you can find the KG4's on the used market makes them have a better performance/price ratio. I loved the WO KG4's I had about a year ago but had to sell them to fund OO Forte purchase.

Will I need to configure something in the receiver to let it know I'm only running 5.1, or will it know?
If you use Audyssey, it will read that you only are using 5.1. For manual setup, you set it for side surrounds only.

I've found the 6.9 in really good condition for about $500.00. What do you think about that price?
I think I know which one you are talking about. I think that is a fair price.
Bill
-
Through my internet research I've notice the only difference b/w the 6.9 and the 7.9 is the power (100w vs 130w, respectively). The DACs seem to be the same. Am I mistaken?
I think you are right about the 6.9 and 7.9. There is a big difference between the 6.8 and 7.8, about 20 pounds and both DACs and power supply. As I said before, I like the sound of my Onkyo/B&K/Klipsch combo. Adding the B&K amp to my Onkyo really opened my system up and the seperation of instruments really came through. For overall musicality, Marantz may be a better choice, but Integra/Onkyo does a very respectable job with music and home theater.

I have the Onkyo TX-SR705 which is the Onkyo equivalent of the DTR-6.8. I am using it as a pre/pro with a 200w/ch B&K 3 channel amp powering a pair of RF-63's and an RC-64. I have no complaints about the sound with 2 channel or HT. Reliable and filled with all the bells and whistles. One thing I will say is that you need to move up to the DTR-7.9 or 8.9 to get the better power supply and DACS.
Some on the forum have been displeased with the performance of Onkyo/Integra with Klipsch for 2 channel but praise them for HT. Most of those complaints have been directed at the mid level receivers and lower. I have not heard anything negative about the Onkyo 875/876, 905/906, and the Integra 8.8/8.9 with 2 channel or HT. With my experience with Onkyo/Integra, I am planning on eventually moving up to one of there dedicated pre/pros.

Bill, any news with the SW-12?
I think it is still available but have not contacted the seller yet. I just bought (7) Marantz monoblocks and am a little short on $$$ for now. Maybe I will sell (2) of them and use some of the money to get the SW-12.
Bill
-
Absolutely a good price. That equates to $220.00 a speaker. You normally can't get the RS-52's for $220.00 each from a bootleg seller. RF-82's for $220.00 each, better price than used with scratched cabinets.
Show me where I can get that deal.
Bill

I have a similar system with RF-63's instead of 83's and RSX-4's as surrounds.
My speakers are all set to small and the crossovers are:
RF-63's-------50hz
RC-64---------70hz
RSX-4's-------100hz
With (10) 6.5 inch woofers up front, why should I let them go to waste?

The only thing I heard that could be misconstrued, was when he said in so many words, " kill the head and the body will die". I don't think he is encouraging head hunting. Payton's mind(head) is his best weapon and if you can get to it, his skills will not matter. IMO, that would be a a tough nut to crack.

Look at it this way. Say you had a receiver with preouts and wanted an outboard amp. You would connect your receiver's preouts with RCA cable to the amps imputs and connect speaker wire from amp to speakers. I think the powered speakers would work the same way.
Bill
-
I say get the RC-64. For $500.00, no brainer. Not a perfect match, but most won't notice. IMO, The RC-64 is the holy grail of center channels. Literally a tower speaker on it's side. The RC-62 is definitely no slouch but the RC-64 is that much better. Upgrading the center will lower your immune system where it will be very hard to fight the upgrade bug later. [

Mark,
I do not personally have any experience with the XF-48's but I do understand that if an amp does take a dump, you can use them in passive mode. Funny thing is I read this thread just last night. Maybe you will find answers to all of your questions.

Help with separating HT from 2 Ch
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
How does it sound with a digital coax cable connecting the 3520 to the 2808 in stereo mode with the sub? With my setup, pure direct mode on my receiver sounds really anemic compared to stereo with sub. Do an A/B comparison using analog cables(3520 DAC's) and digital coax(2808 DAC's) in stereo mode w/sub.
When I added my B&K amp using the Onkyo as a preamp, my RF-63's came alive with tons of headroom and great seperation. What I noticed the most was how detailed the music is at lower volumes.
Bill
PS
I want your 3520. About two months ago I was one hour too late from picking up a mint one owner 3520 for $40.00.
