  1. I have been told the only way to get "lossless" audio out of a blu-ray is over HDMI. I run a Sherwood Newcastle P-965 preamp, so I use Toslink for audio. Would I be better off with 5.1 analog out? Or is there a way to seperate the audio from the HDMI. Personally I perfer as few connections as possible for Video, so direct to PJ is my first choice. So how do I get the best Audio?
  2. Just be sure to use a good quality RG-6, quad sheild is my choice. Stay away from flimsy Rg-59. Just my $.02
  3. Hey, A friend of mine picked up a vintage 15" speaker cabinet. Asked me if there is a 15" klipsch speaker that he could use to make an amp/monitor, for playing bass guitar. I was thinking a K-33, but thought I should ask before I point him in the wrong direction. So I know Eminence makes drivers just for this purpose, if not a K-33, is there a Klipsch driver that would do well for this?? Thanks
  4. Amy, Are the mirage oasis speaks wall mountable? Also I looks like a face up speaker, won't it fill with rain, snow, and ice? Or am I looking at it upside-down? Thanks Brac
  5. so the energy that makes the ringing comes from the woofer. More energy, Hz more likely to resonate. Does this mean we all agree that Khorn's, which by design the horns don't share space with the woofer, therefore are immune?????
  6. So there is a saying in Maine, "Can't get there from here" Is anybody driving from Cincinnati, that might be willing to take a hitch-hiker? There are very few places to get to at a fair price from Bangor.
  7. so what about people selling current stock," New Klipsch KA-1000-THX Ultra 2 Sub Amp #180230131027". I was told by my rep that dealers aren't allowed to sell on Ebay. This guy has 10 avail for sale, at $500 below retail.
  8. Where is my head, how in Old Brown Moses, did I miss that. My favorite Zappa is Thing Fish, his finest work. "In a real homo bath house"
  9. So its just fri, sat? does anybody get together and do anything sunday?? Also where is the best place to fly into? Thanks
  10. Roman, when are you gonna explain "UNCLEMEAT" I can't say what it make me think of or the censorship nazi (AMY) lol.... will remove my post.
  11. Hey, I was giving some thought to making the trip, how about a post from someone that gives some idea what goes on. So starts friday and what happens between then and going home?? I understand its different each year, but how about some idea what goes on. Thanks
  12. Intresting, but it's not a floded horn with that big hole in the front. They could be turned into something with some work...
  13. Darn, I don't even know where to start the attack, The wife may be on board now, but I promise you, when you go buy your 6th pair of ever larger Kilpsch speaker. That will change. But Honey there were a great deal. But honey they were only 5hours away, I had to..........Then the lie'n starts. How many of us have promised to sell a pair after we buy a pair we didn't really need. I think my wife has just given up. I just bought a pair of Forte II's today. They were only 2 hours away and only $350. how could I not. She'l speak to me again soon. It's not like I have 2 khorns 2 heresys 2 klf-10's 2 klf-30's and my HT setup. Oh wait ya it is just like that. I would like to hear the aforementioned Dark side recording............ Welcome to the program just rembember there is only help here when you need enableing. Not for quiting (there is no quiting) As for Tubes I have yet to try a set even though I want to hear my K-HORNS with tubes. Let folks know where you live someone might let you test drive some of there extra gear.
  14. There is no other dog like a Mal!!!
  15. What do you have for power?
  16. Hey, On my price sheet it is listed this way" THX Home Theater (2)KL-525-THX, (3)KL-650-THX, (1 PR)KS-525-THX, (2)KW-120-THX, (1)KA-1000-THX The assumpion would be kl-650 L-C-R ks-525 S kl-525 R then the subs Hope this helps, The surrounds should really be KS's for sound dispersion, the LCR, Left center and right) should all be the same. In fact when ordered as a set they will send you 1 right and 2 lefts- one of wich to be used as the center. Some people also swap out the rear 525's for 650's but not needed for your room size. BTW what does the setup cost in AU?
  17. I agree completely, a properly working set of Forte's will rattle the windows. Maybe also look at what you are feeding them with? Bad settings etc.
  18. Just for the record Sherwood is very different from Sherwood Newcastel.... I was thinking he could get R-5650-S (in walls) but mount them in the ceiling...http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/r-5650-s.aspx
  19. I have been looking for something to hang in my ceiling grid. I found this https://www.empirewest.com/store/series.cfm?CategoryID=2&SeriesID=15&ProductID=799#513-1058 looks like it would disperse sound well. Anybody have any thoughts or experience with it? Thanks Brac
  20. how well do they seem to mix with Heritage stuff?
  21. You got what will be a nice set of speakers with a little work, I have bought beat up KLF-10 for around $100 but they sound great. The center cap is an easy glue on. someone on here can tell you where to get one. As far as sanding and restaining, You would have to be very careful with your sanding because it is a laminet, might be better to re-laminet. but see what others say. Enjoy your new speakers
  22. Well, this whole blame the humans thing is crap, unless someone can tell me what the dinosuars did to cause the changes that wiped them out. There have been several ice ages and there will be several more.....
  23. I love the fact that when Mt Saint Helen blew it sent as much pollution and green house gases that man has made in the last 100 years up into the atmosphere. Shhhhh! noone is supposed to talk about the effect of volcanos, since they don't fit in the inconvient framework.....
  24. I agree with Frizzz sounds like ground loop, maybe try grounding the cases...
