  1. Not ready for that at all. Not my cup of tea but thanks for sharing. I'm always interested in what others are listening to.
  2. God Speed my friends. So sorry for the family.
  3. I thought Monster sold cables, didnt know they sold Receivers too! Is this for 2 channel?
  4. Is this only for XT 32 ? Can you do this for XT ?
  5. Ya better make sure Rottie is fed or they may come up missing!!!
  6. Try Ticket Stop. I deal with Marc but I'm sure anyone there could help. 713-526-8889. Good luck.
  7. That Pioneer would sound nice too. Thats a good deal at that price. The Pioneer is a class D amp and will not run hot. Meaning, cool to the touch. I have a Pioneer SC 1222K and I like the way it sounds with my RF 7ii. If it has the features you want/need, I'd save the money and get this receiver.
  8. Interesting. My room is basically a rectangle shaped room maybe 18 ft X 30 ft with vaulted ceiling. I may start another thread one of these days with drawing showing the room and see what opinions I get for setup. I have the speakers, amps and receiver to handle 7.2 I just dont know if I have the room or should I say a room ideal for 7.1
  9. I bought it. Its gonna fit right in and will enjoy its new home. Thanks again man.
  10. + 1 to check wires. I had a speaker (used) shipped to me and the shipper wrapped it up nice and neat, very well protected. They worked fine for about 1 week and 1 speaker quit working. I tried the usual and ended up looking at the drivers. Yep. the wires came off the driver, hooked em up and all is well. I have no idea how they cam loose just sitting there for 1 week, but they did. But as mentioned earlier, you will be taken care of if there is a problem. Good luck and keep us posted.
  11. What do you guys think? I have the RF 7ii, RC 64ii and the RS7. Do you think it is worth changing my RS 7 for the RS 62ii? I use 5.1 setup for HT. I have successfully convinced myself there wont be much of a difference, and its not worth it, but would like to hear from the Ol Wise Owls here. Help me SAVE my money here not spend it! LOL. But let the truth set me free! What cha think?
  12. I remember about 25 years ago the White Van showed up on our construction job site. Just so happened to be around quitting time and one of the guys on my crew took the bait. I didnt know it was a scam at the time and evidently he didnt either. He had to go to ATM machine to get the money, so we followed him to store (so we could get a cold beer, you could do that back then and drive). I think he paid around $800.00 for a pair of tower speakers. I remember being envious that I couldnt afford such a great deal and I always remembered that deal cuz I wanted it too dammit! It was years later that I learned it was a scam and thankful I didnt bite. Oh yeah, that is a lot of money these days but back then it was A LOT of money to me. I guess raising kids does have a bright side!! LOL. Thats what kept me from being sucked in! Unbelievable they can still pull that scam off especially with the internet now days. Werent such a thing back then.
  13. On my Yammy, Direct picks up 2.1 but Pure Direct is 2.0 only. I was impressed by the base the 7ii have in Pure Direct, but I still like 2.1 better.
  14. Wowza, the RF 5 alone are worth $400.00. Thats a nice deal.
  15. HBD. May the cake and ice cream flow freely!
  16. HBD. Now you can get rid of that fake ID you have to get in bars! I can tell ya how this 52 (ish) acts.............. just like you with BBQ and Ice Cream Cake with the family. That old song says: Corn bread and Ice Tea took the place of pills and 90 proof. How true.
  17. See? I told ya I didnt know enough to debate.......................... I got nothin! LOL. I'm sure those subs will be fine with that bad arse setup you have. Are you still listening to 2 channel as 2.0? Pure Direct?
  18. Dang, can I borrow a couple hundred thousand so I wont have to be a peasant? The saddest thing about all of these scams is......... if it didnt work they wouldnt do it. Hard to believe people fall for that. Same thing with Tele Marketers. If people wouldnt buy, the phone calls would cease.
  19. Mad Max better not let us down! The older ones were cool even way back when. I hope its as good as I'm expecting it. Worlds Fastest Indian is a great movie. Can any of you guys watch regular DVD now after watching BD? Kinda brutal on some material.
  20. I dont know enough about subs to intelligently debate them, but have you considered an IB system?
  21. mxr dad

    VHS to DVD

    The problem I had is exactly as described by Marvel. Very time consuming and many times had to restart it for various unknown reasons. It just seems sometimes it worked great and other times it was frustrating enough to want to chunk it all in the garbage. I'm glad I can keep my temper down now that I'm older. Not sure that wouldve happened in my early years. Thanks for the links. I'll check em out.
  22. This doesnt sound right. If you are using AVR, then check the settings and make sure you are in direct (or pure direct) and those 7ii should come alive in 2 channel or 2.1. No way should they sound hollow, or missing.
  23. There ya go again spoiling it. You would never guess a tank was in this movie looking at the front cover. Good movie.
  24. HAHA. This is fun. Its fun debating these things in a friendly way with nobody getting mad. I had no idea they made Hot Dog Sauce!! LOL. But isnt it really just chili? See how they call it Chili Cook Off and not Sauce Cook Off? Chili's Restaurant may have to change their name to Sauce's. I will have to admit, when you order a bowl of chili down here, its common for them to ask with beans or without? So WVU may have a point. But dont tell him that. It will be our little secret! THAT DONT MAKE IT RIGHT THOUGH!
  25. Wowza, did we hit a nerve?? You asked a question and got a legit answer and some suggestions. Maybe a "Thank You" is more deserving than your response above? Maybe ask more questions and see if we can really help here. Its all still good.
