Thanks for the great info. The Rebel 7 Sub looks identical to mine but I found a link to the one that I have: http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/k-rsw.aspx (it is called the K-RSW). My Yamaha Receiver model # is: RX-V793 and it is indeed Dolby Digital. My Yamaha Receiver also has a subwoofer output. My sub has an RCA input as well. So I assume I need to come out of my receiver to my sub with RCA cables (not speaker wire)? And I agree about coming directly into my receiver with my satelite speakers for a more rich sound. I will also use these speakers for music. I may have to get the ceiling speakers because of a couple of reasons. I do not have any other speaker options near the rear of the room (besides wireless, which is not an option), and I also have a bar directly behind my seating area and I will want to use the in-ceiling speakers for music more than anything else. Therefore, I will probably go with a Klipsch model for continuity and quality. Do you have a 4th & 5th "rear" speaker for surround sound? Thanks again. This is very nice information for me.

You are the man. I appreciate the reply. I'm still working on the budget. I finished a basement which only cost about 3 times what I originally planned (as well as the new HDTV). Good advice on turning off the TV speaker. I probably would not have done that. I am a dormant audiophile who is about to wake back up (done having children). Problem is, what was high-tech 8-10 years ago is ancient history. I may try to hook up all of my current Klipsch speakers and see what it sounds like. A couple of other dumb questions. Should I hook up the satelite speakers through my subwoofer? What are the pros/cons of doing this (I have no idea)? Also, any recommendations on a new pair of in-ceiling speakers that would compliment my old KSS system? Thanks again.

I have the Klipsch Rebel KSS-1 Center Channel, KSS-2 Surround Loudspeakers, and KSS-3 Subwoofer. They are approx 10 years old. They have been in a box for the past 5 years. I plan on installing these as my Home Theatre Audio System. My Receiver is an approx. 10 year old Yamaha. I am connecting this system to a new 47" Flat Panel Vizio LCD-HDTV. Long story short, how do these Klipsch speakers stack-up to much newer speakers? In the audio speaker world, I beleive the latest is not always the greatest. Also, I have no idea about the Vizio built-in speakers and how they integrate with these older speakers. Obviously, I am slightly stuck in the dark ages and wonder about the quality of the current speakers I own installed as a surround system with the latest HDTV technology. I am simply soliciting any opinions from anyone in the know. I obviously don't know much about this! Thank you and I apoligize in advance if this specific subject is referenced somewhere else in this forum (if so, I could not find it).
