The Dude

NIce looking rooms to the both of you looks like you guys got some early Christmas presents. Jason when you going to have me over for a demo would love to check it out in person, also nice build thread, can't wait untill I get my started I am still in the porcess of collecting gear. I vision mine something simalr hopefully it turns out as nice. Nick

Thanks for looking out Bill, I will keep the 707 in mind I don't know if I will ever add the amp but that is a plus to have. I like the Onkyo cause it has the Ipod connection, were the Harman/Kardon 254 got passed up in that department, the olders do and the newer ones do but for some reason they passed that one up. I am looking at both for the price. Or I could save another 180.00 and buy the K-horn bass bins and Lascala bass bin for a different ht project. thanks guys duder

anyone here have any experiance with these, I know lots like Onkyo but this seems a bit lower quality possibly(based off of price). I have my eye on this and Harman/kardon avr 254. thanks Duder

Thanks to both of you I think that answers my questions, Texas yours are were I got the idea from. I don't know if yours were black laquer or painted black,but I was going to go with the piano gloss look with bright white grills. I dig the Japanese Mod look.

I think they were in Texas, the reason I ask is for a couple of question. 1. were did you get the white grill cloth or did they come like that. 2. If you made them or not, do you know if the board that the cloth attached to was painted black or white for the back ground. 2. the reason I posted here is for the simple fact that this post might get noticed most here. Thanks duder

, Nice room, reminds me of my first setup in my old house, So don't feel evious, that is all I had in my own house. I feel envious of you for have building a super computer to run it all, that is something I wish to have one day.

I posted on another forum do to the fact that they are not Klipsch speakers, Jut seeing if anyone here wants to stop by and take a look to give there 2 cents worth, heres the link http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1288203 No I dont have pics up yet but will soon. thanks Nick

Good info guys, I have just been using the mirror out of my wifes makeup case. Don't know if this is a good idea but I like to think it works.

why I ask I am redoing a pair of speaker cabs, that the original stlye feet were just 3/4" thick by about 1" tall wood strips 2 of them shaped into a v like that ran down towards the back of the cabs. Not that is seems to be a bad Idea but they are kind of busted up and I was thinking of replacing them with some spikes or something like. Any ideas.[C] thanks duder

Is that an electric fake fire place? Yep, I wish we had a real fireplace but what can ya do, buy a fake one! I am worried about the heat period directly under my system, I have been looking at these lately but worried. let us know if it heats up the gear. Nick

Shake777, You didn't miss any pics, I haven't got that far yet. I am still working on moving and rearranging a bit so I can enjoy, plus I have to finish building some speakers. I guess I am not exactly were your at, I just have a couch and speakers sitting around. When I get the more appropriate set up going I will post.

Looks like your in the same spot I am, how does it sound with the concrete walls. I have insulation up which does quite a bit of sound control, just haven't had time to get the system up to hear it. Have fun its always good when you see something coming together.

Maybe you really just don't like metal, Just messin with you.

So your have approx. 13x16 room that opens to a kitchen, I think you have quit a bit of room for for rf 7s. You may all so want to consider something from the Heritage line, they are made out our of wood with most having wood veneers. I love jamming some Lamb Of God on vinyl with my Cornwalls at my old place, and now my Fortes. I would think any of those would work fine. If they are too big you can look at some Heresies I just think they might be to small for your room, maybe not, but you could run a sub with them for more bass in that large of a area. Your best bet is to find someone locally that would let you audition them. good luck Duder.

Are they worth 100.00 how do they sound would probably pairing it with my dynaco pat4, and Chorus, or maybe some other project like some horns with k-55 drivers, I have going on. Anyone know the specs on these, I found something about it having 120 watts rms is this both channels combined. Any input appreciated. thanks Nick

Hopefully some guy doesn't pee on it. Nice room by the way, its not how it compares its how you like it.

I agree, looks like it could be in a magazine.

Thanks djk, shot me a pm for a price on that 24cx2. I have some cheap 15s that I will have to use now, I am running a little low on cash. But I am heading to a garage sale that a pro audio shop is having from 9-5 if I don't get anything there I might be interested in yours. I sitll have to pick up a couple of amps or at least one. Wait did I say 9-5 what am I sitll doing here go to go before all the goods are gone. Nick

is this what I need http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-322

Wait Nat are you also saying that I would less of a chance of blowing the 16 ohm drivers with a setup like yours or vice verse.

I am learning here, looks like the drivers I was looking at for my project don't go low enough. But I have some better Ideas now, thanks for the education Al, and thanks for the recommends Nat. Nick

For the Altec and k55 setup do I just need to buy those adapt kits from partsexpress. looks like I might have a good pair at a good price on the bay. dam this cigar is good.

Ok last time I post before a response. But how do I determine were I want my crossover point.

I also wouldn't mind a 2 way crossover or somthing along the way if your or anyone else for that matter has a low cost one in mind.

Something like a blocking cap, or is there something better. If not is how does one go about choosing one, spec, and quality wise.
