  1. Hidden behind an acoustic screen 3 large identical speakers can definitely work best. Smaller or horizontal specially designed center channel speakers are better for TV displays where placement becomes more of an issue, since you cannot place the speaker directly behind the TV display as you can when using a screen and a tall large speaker for the center channel would often be difficult to use with most TV display setups and would usually also require the TV display to be too high for what is mostly preferred as eye level when using a TV display. The rear port can work well with about a minimum of 8 inches, 1-2 feet and even more is preferred if possible but most often the distance must be less than the preferred optimal due to room restrictions.
  2. Yeah I have both bought and sold a few things over on the Emotiva forum as well as here on the Klipsch forum, my two favorite favorite forums to visit as well.
  3. Thanks, they sold for $225.00 on the Emotiva Forum, I listed them there yesterday. Just finished shipping them to Alabama.
  4. Jimmy Page? If him I will say Stairway to Heaven
  5. Happy Birthday, now go get yourself some decent internet service for a present
  6. I used efficiency ratings Klipsch supplied in old specs, Emotiva has used both 250 and 300 watts per channel describing the XPA-2 I believe they found the XPA-2 to put out more than they thought and upped the rating after the initial specs were given
  7. I have found that some of the smaller speakers in the Reference line benefit the most from an ext. amp. I see this with my surrounds. I guess that are less efficient than the bigger speakers. It's kinda like the opposite of what you would think, bigger speakers needing the amp. The RF-5 is still a very efficient speaker at 99dB @ 2.83 volts/1 meter, yes the RF-7 is higher at 101dB
  8. I have RF-5 ll's and I have used several high end receivers to power them. I am currently powering them with an Emotiva XPA-2 which is a 2 channel 250 watt per channel amp and my RF-5 ll's have never sounded better. They love the power and have improved clarity and stronger bass with the extra power and headroom. I love the sound I get from my RF-5 ll's and have found many ways to improve their sound in the years since I purchased them as an original owner sometime ago in 2001. For Music my MHDT Havana NOS Tube DAC really brought my RF-5 ll's to an all new level.
  9. Time Warner Cable completely blows AT&T away. The one year I was stuck on AT&T was my worst way too slow even after they upgraded me at a higher cost to me which added a week to my 1 year commitment (without me knowing). So when I cancelled one year later I was charged a very large early termination fee. AT&T is one of my worst company experiences ever! NEVER AGAIN
  10. Coytee Look into Ooma phone service http://www.ooma.com/ Both the best and the least expensive home phone service I've ever had, I haven't paid over $4.37 a month for home phone in over ten years, I've had the standard Ooma service since 2006. Amazon has a good price on the Ooma telo at about $75
  11. Later today Sunday 4/10 I will list these on the Emotiva Forum, as of now they are only listed here. If bought today they will be shipped tomorrow Monday 4/11 morning, they are already packaged up very well and ready to ship.
  12. With Time Warner Cable I have their standard internet plan which is still high at $59.99 for internet service only. It's all fiber optic and my download speed is always around 59 megabits per second which I am very happy with. Time Warner Cable also has a discount internet TOO SLOW and a more expensive pay more internet which is supposed to be around 300 megabits per second, nice but I feel $59.99 is already more than I'd like to spend. Again for home phone Ooma is awesome. I am a cable cutter for TV service using an antenna I get everything available with an antenna no problem and with a 4 tuner DVR I always have too much to watch. I use RedBox and also stream some movies as well as Game of Thrones.
  13. No dings, dents, peeling or flaws of any kind these are in just like new condition. They are all wrapped up now securely bubble wrapped and taped boxed snugly with padding. The boxes corners are reinforced with a very strong very thick cardboard angle. Then double boxed and taped up very securely. Edges and corners are well protected, nothing is loose and everything is well protected. Ready to ship.
  14. The speakers will be shipped double boxed with a cushion zone and well wrapped in bubble wrap and reinforced packaging.
  15. And More Pics Right Back Right No Grill Serial 123 Serial 124 Top Left Top Right
  16. OK here are some pics, not the best camera, they look better in person. Bottom Left Bottom Right Front Left Front Right Left Back Left No Grill (BTW the white fluff on the edge of the horn is a piece of down feather from my pillow I missed while taking the photo The speakers were on my bed just before taking pics) Monster Wire
  17. Well they all saw me naked by their terms some very cute and friendly nurses at UC Irvine Medical Center.
  18. I added to my comment above, check out Ooma phone service highly recommended!
  19. I use Time Warner Cable, it has supposedly been all fiber optic even before Time Warner bought the previous company we had. The speed and reliability have been great when I had problems a few year ago it was from my own router. Even though it is supposed to be all fiber optic I have always had coaxial cable coming into my home, I think that is always the case from others I have known they all have only had coaxial cable enter their home even though they were on fiber optic systems. I used ATT for one year worst internet provider I ever used, slowwwwwwwwwwww I complained they upgraded me still slowwwwwwwww. I quit as soon as a year was up but it was apparently a day or so too soon and they charged me like a $100.00 for ending my contract early. ATT sucks I will never use them again. For phone I use Ooma internet phone costs me about $4.00 a month after purchasing the Ooma telo unit which can be about $49.00 to $$99.00 now it was $250.00 at the time I bought mine but has come down since then. Ooma is GREAT
  20. Well she got sick just after getting the shot, worst case of the flu she said she's ever had and I have heard this from others pretty often.
  21. I will bring down the price to $225.00 shipped for Klipsch members. This is still the only place I have them listed, if they hit ebay they will be higher. These are about as close to new as used can get. The RS-3 ll is second in line behind the RS-7 and really is an awesome surround speaker. Photos now added below
  22. Yeah doctors kept asking if they would be allowed to do whatever it takes to keep me alive if necessary. I told them I didn't want to be kept alive by a machine, the doctors didn't like that answer. I told them I did not think it would come to that but I wanted to die before being just kept alive. Doctors wanted permission to do whatever they wanted no matter the quality of my life.
  23. I have never had the flu shot but my sister got it one year and almost immediately got the worst case of the flu she'd ever had. I can't remember the last time I had a bad case of the flu and I sure have never had pneumonia before. I am not one to really get sick much and when I have it's never been all that bad, before this. My mother died at 86, my father at 91, he was 10 years older than her. Dad was an engineer at North American Rockwell he was very involved in NASA and helped to put the first Nasa rocket in the air as well as the first and last man on the moon and yes to the doubters we really did put men on the moon. My dad was very proud of his work with NASA. As a kid I got to see much of Nasa's space program up close. My oldest brother was a big part of the space shuttle program, he's 75 now.
  24. Nobody needs some awesome surround speakers? These are about as flawless as they come. My price too high? I will try to get some pictures up sometime Saturday. Also they will be very well packed when shipped. Rich
  25. Must of gotten at least 20 shots while in the hospital some even in my stomach, blood pressure and temperature checked about every 3 hours even though it was always good.pills galore Tamiflu, Potassium supplements and others. electrical cables and monitors all over my chest at all times, IV in one hand and always on several different oxygen masks that were as uncomfortable as can be, two kat scans, x rays every morning about 4 AM, weighed every morning at about 6 AM they must have taken about 1/2 a quart of blood from me everyday though none was ever put back in. Nurses or doctors doing something to me about every 2 hrs. Absolutely NO SLEEP. Only good thing I had about 30 very cute & sexy little nurses all in their 20's while I as in the hospital. I had to ask and be escorted to the bathroom every time.
