Anyone out there know about the TEAC reference components? I have not seen the TEAC name for years and even then it was on good reel to reel tape recorders not amps. They make some small components that will fit in my entertainment center. I will be using SB-2 towers. Thanks Terry

Thanks for the imput, I tried some Sennheisers at $100 but a friend let me use his Sony 7506 at the same price and they were more compact folded and the sound was a little crisper. I decided I really wanted comfort and the Sony's fit better and are lighter. My basic need is for something to use for music and movies on my Mac titanium lap top will flying on the airlines. The closed design muffled more ambient noise than the open design and I am not sold on the noise cancelling technology. Terry

Now that you have got me looking at the better headphones, I get the feeling that the better sounds headphones do not have the noise reduction feature. I understand the closed and open designs but this noise reduction seems to be some sort of electronic filtering. Do you give up sound quality for the noise reduction? Terry

Thanks.... Terry

Hi, I am looking for a good headset for music and computer hookups. I looked at the Bose set they are advertising in the inflight mags but I have nothing to compare them to at $300. I want the noise muffling feature so I think I need the over the ear style. Any suggestions? Thanks Terry

Hi, I have discovered that the 6 pin cable or the connector in the sub has a problem, I have to wiggle the cable connector just right or I get no sound or a static and thumping sound. When I looked inside the sub the female connector is attached to a circuit board which I don't think it can be worked on, and I have not been able to find the cable and the male connector to see if that is the problem . (I do think the problem is inside the sub.) Any suggestions? What is the warranty on this product? Thanks Terry

I have a set of 2.1s running on a Imac, in the middle of the night there was a pounding sound coming from the speakers. It was loud enough to wake my wife one night and me a few nights later. Both nights we shut the power off to the speakers to stop it. I think that there was feedback to the computer because there is a PRAM problem now, propably the mother board got fried. Has anyone incountered this problem or know what would cause it? Thanks Terry

Yea, I am just kidding. If he will put this much effort into watching movies just think what he could do if he was trying to pick up girls. That is one tremendous home theatre, he had a vision and the money to make it real. Thanks for showing it to us. TKA

You think he is flaunting this? His other sites are dedicated to his disco with the glass ball and floor from STUDIO 54 and his own bowling alley he got from the White House when they put in a couple of new lanes. So much fun so little time.

On the old site there was a chart that match speakers for surround sound. I don't know if it is still on the redone site they are using now. Anyway, the SS-1 for rears, SC-1 for a center and I think the 12inch sub is what is recommended with the KG-2s. They package this all together as a surround setup that includes SF-1 instead of the KG-2s, I bought this group and switched the towers for the bookselves because of space reasons and it works just fine. Most of the people on this site would recommend you go with the higher level speakers. (The KG-2 as well as the Synergy line are entry level.) Hope this helps. TKA

If you scroll down the list of forums you will see general questions under the ProMedia section, they can help you. TKA

Thanks for the replies. This Set is for my Mother and Father in law. I have a 50 in Hitachi that came with this house and it is getting old but still works pretty well. I have big Sony tube sets and like them fine (heavy if you ever have to carry them). What I need to know is if the 53xbr is current as far as digital and whatever else is going to be coming in the next 5 years. I agree with your feelings that the Sonys own the tube market and I have always heard the Hitachis are good projection TVs and I will do the comparision. TKA

Anyone have an opinion of the Sony TV... KP53XBR300 for $3300? It maybe the 2000 version, I think the only thing they offer now is a 57 inch. Thanks TKA

Same kind of thing is happening with rock bands and the albums they put out. There was a time when a band released a new group of songs it was a big deal and everyone was talking about it. Now a band seems to have a hard time putting three good cuts on a new release. Times are changing. TKA

I should add that I would like to keep price of the amp in line with the quality of the speakers and where they are going. The surround system is being run with a Denon 3300 and I love it. TKA

These speakers are included in that SF package you may have been hearing, I bought the package to put around some old KG2 (bookshelfs) because I didn't want towers. Now the old JVC that is running the towers is getting weak and will need replacing. Here is where it gets iffy. I am really thinking of spending $5 to $8000 on a tube set up with some Sonus Farber speakers. I would like to play with some old tube equipment with these SFs and put them in the Pool room. Sooo as you can see I did't make my first post very clear and I am sorry for that. None the less nobody cares about this low end stuff that Klipsch puts out and thats fine, I just find that unless you get a little agressive nobody replies. Price is not real important but this stuff would be in the humdity and solid state may be better. Thanks TKA

Doug, I like the SF-1s fine. They are not a high priced speaker and I know that. The harshness seems to come from the past experiences with low end posts to this site. The statment was more to get a result, other wise people on this don't respond. I am assuming they do not consider the enter level Klipsch speakers to be up to the PWK standards. More suited to the Best Buy and Circuit City crowd. Sorry for the attitude. TKA

After all the raves you guys give PWK for his "great" speakers, I guess he should be ashamed of the crap he puts his name on at the enter level. Obviously nobody likes them here. TKA

I hear it's your birthday, well Happy Birthday to ya!! TKA

I have a pair of SF-1s that I pulled out of a surround sound system. Any one have a good idea for a reciever or amp that would not cost much but help these speakers? TKA

The 3300 from Denon is the discontinued model that the 3801 replaced. I think the 3300 is the same basic box without the 7.1, there could be some other differences and they are getting harder to find. The price point was in the $700 to $800 range when I looked. TKA

Thanks TKA

I have a 3300 Denon and have been listening to music in the direct mode only, what happens when I switch to stereo mode? Thanks TKA

I am not sure about this but I think the processor does not just split it into 5 equal channels but filters(?) some of the sound going to the different speakers. Just a guess thought because I don't understand the Prologic and Dolby stuff at all. TKA
