  1. How handy are you? 
     
    The front plate will pop off of the cabinet and if you are able to make a board to mount the crossover on, you can install the speaker in the wall with the grills.  You might need to add some trim around it, but that is easy enough.  I have 6 of these that I will be mounting inwall just like this. 
     
    It looks to be identical to an inwall speaker klipsch made at the same time as these.
    Unfortunately in-wall isn't an option.

  2. I moved into my new house and sadly my RS42 surrounds will no longer be an option because of the way my new basement is configured.

    I am looking for the smallest speakers that Klipsch has ever produced so that I can mount them up in the corners and point them towards the listening position.  They need to be 7 inches tall, give or take a half inch.

    Any such product come to mind?

    Thanks

  3. This may come off as a stupid question but the second splitter you tried, was it the exact same brand and model of splitter?

    Both splitters that I have tried are of high quality.  One is Acoustic Research and the other is Monster THX.  I also tried plugging the subs in different AC outlets.  As a matter of fact they are plugged into a Belkin surge protection device and the sub plugs do not have a ground.  I also tired to disconnect the coaxial cable to my cable box.  Nothing has worked.

    I have a feeling that mdeneen is on the right track.  I guess my only option at this point is to try a Ground Loop Isolator.

  4. I have two Velodyne subs. My Marantz receiver only has one sub out. When I put a splitter in order to connect both subs, I get a significant hum from both subs. Even if I turn one of them off, the hum remains in the one that is on. Obviously the splitter at the Marantz sub out is the issue. Is there any way around this?

  5. Congrats on the new center.  Gen I should do the job without a hiccup between it and Gen II.

    Like I mentioned earlier, my rs42 and rf82 are both gen1 so I'm glad the rc62 turned out to be a gen1 as well :)

  6. You are quite welcome. Honestly, I don't think you can hear a difference between the RC62 and RC62ii. I know I didn't hear any difference between the RC64 and RC64ii and between the RS62 and RC62ii. Only thing I noticed was cosmetic differences.

    That is good to know.  Honestly I will be happy if it arrives as a mark I because it will match the rest of my gear aesthetically.  Not sure if I will leave all the grills off though, that look is pretty nice.

  7. As a side note, they have some interesting model numbers for Canada

     

    RC500B = RC52 (US Version)

    RB600B = RB61 (US Version)

    RF800B = RF82 (US Version)

    RS400B = RS42 (US Version)

     

    From what it looks like, they do not carry any of the Reference II speakers so I think it's safe to say, you are getting the original RC-62.

    Thanks for the help :)

    Remember, the 64 is a sealed speaker and the 62 is front ported. I think it loses a little bit of meat but gains in other areas.

    The 64 handles bass so well that Audessey on my system tried to cross it over at 40 hz. You're not losing any meat.

     

     

    :o  :D

  9. I am currently gutting my basement and prepping for home theatre.  I have RF-82 as my Fronts and am thinking of using a single RB-81 as a center.  I would like to mount it to the wall right above the TV using an adjustable wall mount and angle it down.

     

    1.  Is it a good idea?

    2.  Will it look ugly?

    3.  What wall mount do you suggest that can support and tilt the RB-81?

  10. The Marantz can't display the OSD via standard RCA video cable? I would think it should. All TVs are still equipped with regular RCA video jacks.

    You may be correct. Copied this from the manual.

    t MONITOR OUT

    This is a monitor output and each one includes both composite video and S-video configurations. When connecting two video monitors or televisions, be aware that the OSD interface can be used with both MONITOR OUT connections.

  11. I am shopping for a new LED TV and cannot find any with S Video input. My Marantz 4002 can only display the menu via S Video and not HDMI. Would I need a converter box or only a converter cable? The price difference between the box and cable is huge.

  12. I also feel that Marantz is always one year behind in newer technology.

     

    Dolby Atmos for the home just came out, and Marantz was right there on top of it with the SR-7009.

    Like I mentioned earlier, I found that at the same price point, Marantz always had less features and/or older technology to offer than the competition. Having said that it has been a couples of years since I have been shopping for an AVR. I am very satisfied with my Marantz product and would most likely buy another. I have always wanted to try a Denon though.
