Roger, We sold them a long time ago....must have been eary spring sold both to a local guy who wanted to rebuild them for his race cars. Might as well update...yes the boat got in the water on July 3rd 10:30pm..yeah that late at night. Her she is running the first weekend. The speakers kick butt, can easily bring them up over the engine noise when under cruise speed, and it's nice that we put them up high, so we can fill the back area with music when we have a load of people onboard. ~Dan

Is the bass more lifelike? Is it tighter and deeper? • Dual-balanced conductors for more lifelike sonic reproduction. • Dual solid core center conductors for deeper, tighter bass response. I swore once I saw a "digital subwoofer interconnect" from Monster...kind of baffled me of how it was a digital internconnect if it's passing an analog signal over it.

That's cool. Fly by light. hehe. Beam me up scotty...ohh wait, wrong thing.

I only have a small, 27" 720P screen that I sit 6' away from, but I've been using the Toshiba A-35 just like Jbsl. I plan to get the PS3 around christmas time when Batman: Dark Knight comes out. The HD-DVD has been great, and I can get stuff for cheap, but the PS3 just seems like the best bang for buck for me to get new HD films, plus it has all the added beniefts of the games, internet, etc etc as he mentioned.

Try the Klipsch order hotline. 1-888-554-5665 They maybe able to help. Maybe look on Ebay as well.

Sad day indeed. This came across my News feed yesterday, but didn't get to look at it till today. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/09/seven_years_since_looking_back.html Amazing pictures. Number 5 is scary. I remeber seeing the smoke way out on while I was @ college in Stony Brook, but that is a very different view.

Re-rip from the CD. Up-converting is not like TV in terms of audio...it is an ins't, seperate topic. You already lost the data, so just re-rip. I forget the codec I use, but I rip into 192-320kbps VBR. I also create FLAC files, which are lossless. Do you have a dececnt CD player home stereo. Try using the headphones on that, and see if you notice a difference. Don't just limit yourself to your portable player, ipod or not.

I would be atleast at 192kbps, if not higher. I don't have the Custom 3's, but I'm sure my Images work similair. When I have my Images in, I can barely hear a person trying to have a normal conversation with me with no music playing. With this, I know I have a fairly good seal. Did you try the double tips? They seems to work better for me.

Nice grab. Wonder how that slipped past my RSS feed. lol. ohh well.

I read the blog post yesterday and did the search, and sure enough it comes up. If this is true... sad for China.

Wow! That looks awesome. That is such a cool idea especially with the limited space you had. [H]

I know it's Thursday, but I got back Monday from the 2-day festival over the weekend in baltimore called "Virgin Mobile Music Festival" 31 bands, 2 stages, 2 days, 15 DJ's and 1 dance tent. Was awesome time. STP, Offspring, NIN, Foo Figthers, Paramoure, Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, the list goes on. Speakers for the 2 main stages has '8th Day Sound' on them. Sound was pretty good. Standing in front of the sub stack was bone/body shaking to the point when you could feel your chest vibrating, and hear you pants moving. Gotta love that.

I get NBC HD and I also get 2 additional NBC Olympic HD channels here with FIOS. Good stuff.

Speakers are rated normally for the sensitivity @ 1meter, or 3 feet. If you move 6 feet away, I think you loose 6db (inverse square law, distance from source doubles we lose 6db). So at 12ft, your down 12db, and at 24 ft is 18db down. 75db(your reading)+12db(distance loss @ 12') = 87db(at speaker). That is roughly your 90db sensitivity with some room for error...how do you know what wattage your putting out??? I would start at the 3' distance and see where your volume knob needs to be to reach the 90-94db. Interesting none-the-less.

I don't think it's happening. It hink Amy would have responded by now.

Even with the sound being slightly sub-par...the cost of the movie was $13 for me in IMAX. Local regular theatre is $10.50. Why not go see it in IMAX at that point for me.

That is just plain scary.

No beer tonight... Baracdi Select & coke.

I would think you will be fine. It is better to have extra clean power, then not enough power and clip the amplifer. The wattage output is relative to the actual level of the content and the volume control. You could theoretically side at max volume all day with no input, and your putt out no wattage... make sense. The RSX-4's can handle 200W peak. Even with you playing them 50W continuous, you would be around 106db i think if your at 90db sensitivity. So unless your playing your soundtrack at rock levels all day long... just my thoughts. Anyone else want to chime in and confirm for me? :-)

Thank for the link. Will definately look into it.

Long short is that I'm removing the Home Theatre (quintet III's) setup from the one room, and my family uses this room to listen to music. Problem is that it only leaves me with my Heresy's and my Scott 299B tube amp, which I don't have a tuner for, and I really don't want them touching since they barely know how to turn the TV or the AV reciever on as is. I know this is weird, but yes, I want to try and wire up two recievers to the same set of speakers. I want to keep the Scott 299B for me to use, and was going to use a Sony 2ch amp for the family, has a remote for them too... And NO I will not have them both on at the same time, will keep the Scott unplugged when Im not using. So I'm wondering if a.) the amp that is off will put some sort of an impredance into the load, or cause a problem with wiring the speakers to two amps, or if b.) anyone knows of an A/B switch for for recievers...which is like c.) I have a A/B/C/D speaker switch which use to let me drive two - four sets of speakers from one amp, I wonder if I can wire it in reverse, and put the speakers on what was the input, and the amps on the output, and just select A for one amp, and B for the other. *scratching my head* help on ideas? Second set of speakers in the room isn't an option.

I don't have the custom-2's, but have the Images. Maybe I can snag my co-workers custom-2's and run them through my Headamp Pico that I have connected to my iTouch. To me, I definately prefer the way my Images sound out of the Pico. Don't get me wrong, they sound great connected straight to the iTouch, but I think the iTouch lacks the power to really drive them. With the portable amp, I find the bass a little deeper, more impactful, and the highs come in a little nicer. It just feels like the music is a little more alive. Better imaging, spread, clarity. Then again, some of my coworkers don't really notice the difference compared to me who listens for what 2+hours a day with the headphones. The only problem I can say is that I do depend on the DAC in the iTouch. I haven't done a comparo between my mp3's off the PC using the 24/96 USB DAC in the Pico vs running the same songs off the iTouch.

Nebraska Steakhouse on Stone Street downtown NYC. Had a few pairs of KSB1.1's. Was at a good bar in midtown(broadway and something, was irish place) week prior, and they had a good 6+ pairs of SA-3's. Pretty big for, and sounded great. Can't remember the name, I blame the bartenders. :-)

Maybe I missed another thread, but how are you going to use that setup? Your not going to run them all at once, I presume your going to have some sort of sub-speaker selector? Or you going to give us those details once your wall is built?
