The Dude

I am with every one here, depending what your budget is there are a lot of dvd/bd players that will give you great sound quality and many options. I have herd great reviews on that HK piece. I hope you enjoy it, with a phono input I hope you consider this as well; as it as well is a fun hobby. Nick

at 2500.00 I hope it sounds wonderful. I would just like a decent recording of all the albums on vinyl, everyone I come across at a garage sale is over priced and scratched to hell. The only other way is at the record show that comes twice a year. But collectors want quite a bit for their collectible items. I figured if these recordings out of the box set sound good, at 21.85 a record I am all for it.

Like willand said, don't crank it to long. But I think 100 watts into 8 ohms will work for now. I think you are on the right path, how big is your room that will help us guide you to the right sub. As far as the RF-7s lasting a decade I don't think that will be a problem as many around have close to ten year old RF-7s from the first series. Good luck and glad to see you back.

I feel this is a very good price, and is a great reason to get my H.H. Scott 299 up and running.

What sources will you be using, will you ever be going vinyl. Reason I ask is, these are some of the features the USP-1 offers, plus it has a remote. I all ways wanted to try the USP-1 but ended up going to a tube pre amp. Good luck on your quest for 2 channel Nirvana and remember to have fun with it.

I am not finding them can someone please point me in the right direction. I must put this on my wish list. Thanks

Well I talked to my friend last night again, brought up the home theater again. First he was all like well the wife wants granite counter tops now, but after talking to him getting him pumped up about the sound effects of Episode 4. I think as long as his budget is good we can guarantee a decent budget, and a decent setup. Only thing is it wont be until next year.

This sucks, hope all is well. I don't think there is any way to stop anyone from taking what they want. Best bet is hope to not be home when this kind of thing happens.

Thanks for the reinsurance that everything will be ok. For the record, the pre amp is a Tubes4hifi sp6. It uses two 12ax7s for pre, and I think 12x4 for the rectifier.

So I went into my media room were I have my 2 channel setup in, you know the one I never listen to. Well couple reason I don't listen to it, is one the room is a mess and needs to be recognized, 2 the pre amp doesn't have a phono input, 3 my power amp needs serviced which I discovered last time I wen to listen to music. The mistake you may ask, well I turned on the pre to let it warm up, and when I turned on the power amp I herd a hum so I shut the power amp off. Now thinking I just fired up this tubed pre amp and don't want to turn it on turn it off kind of thing. So I walk a way and forget about, which I know isn't safe luckily these tubes don't generate that much heat so *** wasn't to warm over there. But know you ask how long, well that's the question I really don't know, I would say at least a month but I know I have had it on and off after the 4th of July so no more then 2 months OUCH. I don't know what kind of damage was done and won't until I have the cash to take the power amp in for service, at which time I was going to have the pre amp looked at.

dido, very nice looking room. Love all you have done.

The in walls you usually have the sides pointing at your ears, and the cdt-3800s I think have a tweeter you can point more towards your head. I have the first model of these. http://www.klipsch.com/R-5650-S-II Which if you look at the tweeters they are pointed in different directions, I have these behind me and the sound great, I would think if you had one on each side I think it would sound great. Then use the CDT-3800's and direct the tweeter to the listening position.

A question more directed to the forum. What did people do in the 60's, and 70's with some of those architecture houses when they didn't have a forum like this to come and ask these kind of questions? Make it work I bet, I know I would have.

How about using the north wall, with some false corners. I don't know what your intentions are with the dormers on the left and right side, I all so don't know how it will effect the sound. But not tucking them all the way in but enough to get them out of the way may be more better for aesthetics. Very nice looking room I love the wood beams.

This is good to know,

lets see if this works. do you think it worked. ok now I like Klipsch

I wouldnt worry if it had been repaired sounds like if it has, it was done wright.

Sounds like were all on the same page, Jason what you posted is exactly what I was talking about in a round about way. As we were over at friend 1s house with a Jamestown/epson combo that was the one thing I think will work as we both agreed on the picture for the price. Knorbu, what do you have for a system. Would you be willing to let us come over a demo it. I agree with the go big now instead of disappointment later. As far as Klipsch dealers in Omaha we have Best buy, and NFM, and I other private dealer if they are still around. I agree about one of them only out for their profit, they didn't even know Klipsch RF-7 II's were back until I told the rep. I think Bestbuy does better for the Synergy serious as far as display goes then what does NFM does for the Reference line. But knowing he knows that ESP and Marshall are good to his ears, that once he hears a better system then friend 1's system he will be hooked. I am not meaning to say anything bad about those stores, its just hard to hear a good Klipsch setup locally, and some of the "Custom" electronics shops only offer higher end audio not that some of those other audio companies are good I just think that for the price and best bang for the buck and how good they sound Klipsch can not be beet.

I once I read a recorded conversation between a tech support and customer of a new computer. The customer couldn't figure out why the computer had a blank screen. After about a 15-20 min conversation the tech support had them check the plug at the wall. When tech support found out it wasn't even plugged in they told the customer to pack up the computer and take it back to the store, when asked why they basically explained that if your not smart enough to plug it in your not smart enough to own it. Yes I know I am not smart or have very good grammar, I am not saying the original poster isn't smart enough to post pics as it can be difficult your post just made me think of it.

Does it have the EV15WK stamped on the back.

Congrats. Hope you enjoy, and welcome to the forum and Klipsch family

Is that a Marshall half stack there to the right, what amp are you using. I remember my buddies full stack in high school with a JCM1000(I think[^o)]) Man that thing was loud.

Please do.

Looks like you could use them, do a search in the technical, and updates I am sure there are some good threads on them. Look up false corners, and in closed backs. There are some that have built in closed backs, but thats because the cab is far gone and needs restoring, but its all up to you.

Sorry about the long paragraph since I have been using google chrome its been making everything one long paragraph.
