Some prefer the sound of high distortion and boomy, sloppy bass Logitech offers in their systems. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, glad you found something you like.

Congrats on the new toys! This is a debated subject but in my personal experience, I bi-amped my RF-83's using my receiver's rear channels (ability the Yamaha has using the unused channels). I heard absolutely 0% improvement by doing so. From what I've read, the reason this doesn't affect the sound is because you are using the internal crossovers to the speakers. The only way to truly benefit from this is to bypass the internal crossovers in your speakers and use an active crossover. Did the yamaha receiver not offer any type of built in crossover option for the bi-wiring ? It seems kind of silly to offer the option to bi-wire without it. Maybe a stupid question but i have not bought a new receiver for 20 years or so and stuff changes so fast, and may i add not always for the better in some cases.

I would not think all types of transformers are rated to the same temperature, what seems hot to us is not really hot for electrical components. The more efficient the transformer the cooler it should run.

Those were right down the street from me, very sweet speakers but way out of my budget. [:$]

Either way will work, if you have carpet with trim you may be able to tuck regular wire under the trim or carpet where the extra jacket of the in wall wire would be larger in diameter therefore making it harder to hide. Its your call.

If you are running the wires through the wall that will work fine.

Its a shame, this happens all over. Like always its buyer beware, always listen first. Link to what i did to waste their time years ago. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/130285/1342853.aspx#1342853

Personally i always go for the next heavier gauge wire than recommended but 16 gauge will get you by.

Very nice gesture making shirts with Klipsch logo's, if only i wore something besides pocket T's. [:'(] Maybe i will see something i might wear when some pictures are posted.

The best sub is one you don't hear, and by that i mean something that blends so well with your mains you do not even know its there. Recently i spent quite some time shopping for subwoofers and found nothing in any price range, everything is sealed and ported, the sealed seemed to blend better but did not have the umph to keep up with demand and the ported subs sounded bloated among other gripes and did not sound good where it needed to match my mains. I ended up building my own horn loaded subwoofer and could not be happier, you may wish to do the same. I have never heard the Danley products but seem to be highly liked by many. http://www.danleysoundlabs.com/ If you have some woodworking skills you may want to build one of Bills designs, the plans are $15.00 (i run the Tuba HT). http://billfitzmaurice.net/

Never knew they came in anything but black, nice to see im not the only one that buys them.

If you need cheap and name brand i found an Onkyo for a reasonable price, if you need super cheap Walmary probably has off brand products. http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/ONKDVBD507/Onkyo/Dv-bd507-Blu-ray-Dvd-Player/1.html

Nice detailed picture, never had that problem myself, maybe somebody with older equipment can chime in to recommend cables with smaller ends. I found some of the cables Radio Shack used that i liked so much, they are made by RCA and are on buyout at Parts Express, i may get a few before they are gone. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=249-210 Dont buy em all on me now.

Both are similar in size but thats about it, the 3 way Heresy III will provide much better overall sound and more realism. I would say it would be a bad match between the two. KG4's are nice sounding in their own right but seem less efficient and kinda bass heavy sound, you can always give it a try and see what you think but you may want to match up your speakers for the best overall sound. Never heard the Dali sub either so no comment there, sorry.

Could you post some pictures so we can get a better scope of the problem you are having ?

Anybody heard the new series VOTT A7's yet ? Nobody has any in stock for listening in the Chicagoland area that i have seen. I wonder if the new models lack bass response like the older models did, i liked some of the horn frequencies of the old models but the bigger Klipsch models i know and love has more to offer in the high & low frequencies IMO. Think they got their act together yet or still playing the same old tune. You would think the least they could do is hide that ugly 511 horn behind something. If you heard the new model VOTT post your opinion good or bad, just wondering if they are worth the steep asking price.

You shure can, the plans are available at bill's websight. http://billfitzmaurice.net/Ordering.html Be sure to check out the Tuba 60, the new king of the hill. Its really big though. [*-)]

Looks like Radio Shack no longer carries the RCA cables i have been purchasing for years, (the gold ends with spring tensions attached), though i forget the stock # i will try something different if more are needed in the future i guess, they have served me well but its time to move on.

I second wuzzzer's opinion, have the amp repaired if you can or find something similar to your amp, more power may just burn up your driver.

New pictures. Horn mouth will have a black grille when i get a chance to make it.

Those heels make her legs look a mile long, i would not kick her out of bed. [A] I'm a mix of Swedish & German, both "right off the boat" but i never picked up on either language, english was always spoken in the house.

Bought mine when they were new to the market for just under a grand and they sell for around $400 if clean, I have seen some power button issues and heard of capacitor problems from other Adcom models but mine has been bulletproof , not one problem but then again it all depends how you treat your equipment. Sound can be bright, probably not the best combo for bright Klipsch speakers, like anything else some recordings are better than others and makes more difference than anything else. The amp has plenty of power to drive just about any speaker with authority, the unit runs hot no matter what and is normal, its part of the design.

The orange peel quickly sanded out with the 500 grit, what i had issues with was the nail holes becoming visible after the polishing, no matter what i did they would come back, you could see where every nail was set. All is well, the satin matches my black LaScala's better anyways.

I gave up on the lacquer finish, it became too labor intensive,i guess it was better that i became a G.M. line technician than a body shop man. Ended up with 4 coats of primer, 3 coats of lacquer, two more primer coats over the lacquer then 3 coats of satin black enamel to top it all off. The project came out nice and is coming back in tomorrow after it has a chance to dry, i missed the low end notes anyway, thanks for the responses. Pictures will be up on the for sale post as soon as i have a chance.

Anybody here have any experience with lacquer finishing ? I have spent much of the day wet sanding the black lacquer finish on the Tuba project and managed to finish only one side, the finish looks great but it seems to be taking forever. What has worked for me so far is 500 grit, it seems to have enough bite to get rid of the peaks and create a smooth surface. Going then up to 1500 grit seems to do nothing so i tried right from 500 grit to rubbing compound witch seems to be working ok. If anybody has any experience that may make the job somewhat easier or better please speak up, your help will be an arm saver.
