Or jump into the Version IV Reference.......series RF 62/63 or 82 /83..............Then you will notice a Big difference !

Tom, To me I think 3D will go away........just like the Quadraphonic Stereo Units of the early 70"s did.................

Price wise.........www.crutchfield.com has it listed on sale for 499.00 for the Yamaha..............

Don't know if they would beat..............both are good. wwstereo has the 660 for 129.00 ea which is a hell of a deal.....IMHO.

Good catch Bill. I totally spaced on the Blu Ray format....................You are Correct.............. http://www.listenup.com/Denon+DRA-CX3-p-DRACX3-p-49980.html

Found this on the NAD Web site. http://nadelectronics.com/products/dvd-players/VISO-TWO-DVD/CD-Receiver/ Found out - small ain't cheap............. From Audio Advisors.......... http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=NAVISO2 Also look at the C 717 receiver/dvd combo...............

I have heard both. Myself, I vote for the Jamo C 407. Three way speaker that has a smooth sound, granted it is only 6 Ohms but price wise and listening wise you will enjoy it more........... http://www.wwstereo.com/website/ecommerce/productdetail.aspx?product=C407 I owned the 600 series and really enjoyed them........... The RF 10 is the bottom line of the Reference Series.............. JMHO.

So did you find / get a Receiver Yet ?

Check with Professor Thump, Klipsch Employee. He did this in his Basement and it worked out just fine. http://community.klipsch.com/user/Profile.aspx?UserID=20592

In a perfect room.......... VB sides VS Rear

Remember, your talking about a 30+ year old receiver. Just marvel how much Technology has changed and things have gotten smaller............... Enjoy and don't get wrapped around the axle with the Numbers..................Enjoy the SOUNDS............[H]

To achieve more Presense, you would want to upgrade to the RF 83 series. (getting the RF 3 is going backwards). It is an expensive hobby........for sure..............upgradeites.............[] Getting a bigger Sub, I don't think will really satisfy your needs........ To my ears, the Older RF 3's hurt me and I could not listen for long periods. Where as the Newer RF series is much smoother and to me gives more punch..................

Stick with present setup..................62's in Front. Ain't broke, don't fix it..............

NAD amp have the warm "British " sound. He is a link to World Wide Stereo for pricing............349.00 http://www.wwstereo.com/website/ecommerce/productdetail.aspx?product=C%20315BEE

Another Idea is an Integrated Amp. Creek Audio makes one with 80 wpc . Nice units but fairly pricey............ Lots of good deals on Ebay or audiogon for these. I used to have one that was 20 years old and worked like a champ............... Don't know if it is still true, but Cambridge Audio, used to provide the Parts for Creek. Creek being less expensive. http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CKEV2INT http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CA540RV3

Your welcome. Saw that Crutchfield was doing the Video.............knew you couldn't go wrong. Good Luck, and of course, Post Pictures when you get it completed- Please. (Bill H. - 57)

From Crutchfield..............

One of the Fourm members bought some PF 39's and displayed the Pictures showing that "White glove" come with the Speakers. Interesting.

Extra touch for the Palladium line..............gives you that feeling of something special, like a fancy Place to Eat.............. JMHO.

252 is a fair price to repair....................there gonna try to sell him a new unit anyway.............even if it is 6 years old.............. Sears = Bait and Switch !

As the expression nowadays goes............... "You Go Girl ! " Or If you want something done right, you have to Do it yourself !............
