yes it could be..cause the ultra 2 subs, when connected to a receiver depends a lot on theouput signal of the receiver..that is, the volt of the sub pre out..tha amps just drives the sub..but to amplify the freqs it receives to the best manner, the input signal strength is very crucial... hope this helps..cheers

my room size is 16' by 22.. i have a THX ultra 2 receiver..and on my Sub amp i have switched THX on..

ihave used quite a few subs and this pair gives me more than the wow feel...a few things to keep in mind.... the sub preout from the preamp/receiver is very important..and am sure either the emotiva or the marantz THX av 8003 will suffice.. trust me..not heard a better sub at this price

my sincere apologies dear friend...got too busy with profession and a few other familiy disasters prevented me from posting pics nd completing this thread..am really really sorry...i never meant to take the inputs and fader away...i have just bought a digicam and have clicked pics of my completed room..will post them after work tomo.. i hope u all forgive me...

hi..please have a look at elite acousticpro 1080 material..i use it....really happy with it...

Thanks, basically using all the speakers I already had, just have a single RB-81 and a pair of KS-525's boxed up. Bedroom has RB-81's, RC-62, RS-52's and RT-10D with Elite SC-05. Was using all 81's, but figured I could put them to better use else where. I will say the 81 makes for a great center channel speaker, prefer it over the 62. Yeah, that's a SVS tube in corner. Doesn't sound great on top of desk, but better than it did under it. Still moving it around and trying different locations but don't have many options. The SVS PB12-plus2 is pulling gym duty. Never really could get it sounding right after I got the 650's in HT. Very happy with the KW-120's, for me, they a far superior to the SVS. The 120's still can get really deep, similiar to the SVS, but they blend so much better. It could be that I just wasn't able to get the SVS tuned correctly, but really impressed with the KW-120's. That's my 6 yr old bulldog, thanks for compliments. great system man....congrats..ithe klipsch ultra 2 qith two subs...after looking at ur 4 subs am planning on getting another two..but my room is a dedicated theater room 14 feet wide by 22 fet long...will 4 thx subs be over kill??

thanks Dr. who.. Indy, i definitely trust you mate..or else i would not ask for ur suggestions..thanks for ur inputs..i will stick to my THX subs..no way i wanna get rid of them...i was considering the JL fathom for the add on....looks like the wise thing to do is get a THX KA amp and a THX subwoofer.... By the way, i have ordered Auralex panels for my room acoustics...am eagerly waiting for them...

Roger..how do u rate the JL audio Fathom f113?? will it work well with the klipsch THX subs inmy setup??am getting a great deal on that?? plz share ur thoughts

am sure will do..i will be very happy to post the pics alongside some of the best systems in the world on this forum

thanks a lot joe...i will get into the room acoustics hopefully by next week end...i have built the wall with 4.5 inch brick and then stuffed glass wool for 5mm and again built a 45.inch brick work on all the side walls....am planning to put a drop ceiling with plywood and treat the cieling, walls with auralex proplus kit..the floor will be wooded with a rug thrown in the half from the screen to the first row.... am looking at elite screens acoustic pro version..it is either available in 106 or 120 incher....any idea how these are..my room is 22 feet long by 15 feet wide with 9" cieling...if i put the center behind the screen, then i will have a 20 feet distance from the screen to the back wall...am buying an optoma HD 80 projector....can i set it up to throw 120 inches?? please share your thoughts.. Indy, thanks for the suggestion..it looks good...but i was bedating between pioneer elite, denon 3800BT, marantz THX blu ray player..are these way better than the sony?? Thanks in advance guys..cheers

seriously bill...am dripping......just keep helping me out till i finish it guys..i can never thank u guys enough

rick/indy..thanks a lot guys for ur input..i have already purchased the THX ultra 2 and i have ordered the sunfire TGR401 which should reach me any day..am from india and its very tough to get electronics here..but i got a good deal on these..i paid 12000 $ for 7.2 thx ultra 2 and sunfire TGR 401..i am jus worried if the sunfire would find it hard to drive the ultra 2 subs...am waiting for my receiver to find out.. also i found out that sunfire TGR401 does not upscale normal DVDs thro HDMI..so i am looking out for a very good blu ray player with DTS HD decoding and HQV chip or equivalent, which does a good job on the upconverting of DVDs...i have zeroed in on optoma HD 80 or sanyo z3000 for my projector..i have ordered Auralex pro plus roominator kit for acoustics...i am looking for a good AT screen..and am finished.. So please suggest on the Bluray/screen and help me in realising my dream of a good theater at home..thanks in advance Vig

indy...how do i use the Alesis MultiMix8. to boost my signal to the sub...still waiting for my TGR401..so as soon as it arrives i will connect it and check if my subs rock..thanks in advance

thanks guys..am still waiting for the sunfire...once it comes i will check and post back..also i have a few doubts regarding screen selection...Acoustically transperant VS normal...will the perofrated screen picture quality be inferior to normal ones?

thanks indy.. i will stick with the THX and hope i get what i want..and i checked on the svs...its not yet released and it a bit costly..can i have a cheaper alternative please??

thanks a lot indy..i will try and find one...and today i listened to a pair of RF 83 in stereo powered by sunfire..and it was awesome..have i made a mistake by opting for a THX package ahead of RF 83?? please tell me i have not...

thanks guys for ur guidance.. TREY: i buy all my klipsch speakers from the audio people, chennai and albishara intl.. dubai...they are authorised dealers and am good..i got the 230v amplifier...as i had posted earlier i almost purchased a RF 83 package but at the last moment decided to go with THX ultra package...hope i made the right decision......i have been listening to them for the past four years....and i kinda obsessed with the powers of the subs...but i listened to them with sunfire combo and it sounded great..... i am still waiting for my sunfire TGR401 and hopefully things should be awesome with the subs...i will post my review shortly.. indy: suppose the LFE signal is weak, do i have any alternative to the velodyne unit....it is very tough to find one in india and if i import from the US the customs will charge me heavily.... thanks

thanks indy...if u dont mind please provide me with some links...am not too knowledgable in this and any guidancewill be greatly helpful...cheers

hi folks.....i am in the process of getting my dream home theater finished....have worked really hard to get there....the thing is..am confused about the choice of screen..my room is 20 feet long and 15 feet wide and i have narrowed the projector down to optoma hd 803lv...i have two concerns... 1. i want to keep my speakers(THX ULTRA 2) i.e the center right behind the screen..the fronts i can keep them on the rack and cover them with acoustic material....i want to do this cause i want to feel as if the dialogue comes from the person who actually talks in the screen...so my choices are elite acoustic pro 120" diagonal or Dalite 110" perforated screens..but i have read somewhere that acoustic screens may have some impact on the picture quality..is it true?? has anyone has any experience with the above said screens?? 2. the second option is i opt for a normal screen(non acoutical) from either of these brands and keep my center channel speaker under the screen and at about two feet off the ground..i could still cover the speaker with acoustic fabric....if i do this, when watching movies, will i be able to localize the center channel spaeker and not feel as if the sound is coming from the person on the screen?? am totally confused..the price between the acoustic and non acoustic in not that great but i need the best video, and cinema like sound from the equipment i am purchasing...please throw some light on the pros and cons of these..thanks in advance, Vignesh
