Sorry for the hijacked thread, carbon. It's all for the sake of learning and tweeking, right? [Y]

Thanks again Bruce. I'd like to attempt this, if my crossover will cooperate with this mod. Here's a picture of my crossover.

Never owned Denon. But I can say I've heard of people say (not often) Denon can be harsh with Klipsch. Haven't heard that said with HK.

Thanks for the quote Bruce. I like DeanG's suggestion, lowering the mids & highs. It's a little over my head (doesn't take much w/electronics). Could this process be broken down a little more for my slow mind? Are we talking these resistors?

I wouldn't do it. You'd have to make sure your speakers are being powered by one amp at a time, not both. I dunno, human nature dictates you will forget at some point. Then all there would be to do is drink and hate yourself. [:@] Better to use an HT bypass mentioned above or have a seperate 2 channel system in another room. MUCH safer, and you'd have two systems to tweek. Twice the fun!

I've had the RF-3II speaker package for 8 years, and will be an RF-7 owner tomorrow (used). The RF-3IIs are great but the upgrade bug is on. I hadn't thought of integrating the 3's with the 7's. I think the 7's may overpower because of their higher efficiency over the 3's. The decibel adjust on your AVR receiver can compensate for some of this. If you find the 7's do not integrate well, sell your RF-3II package to fund an RF-7 package. You'd have to wait for some used ones to come around.

Speak of the devil! See you tomorrow SWL.

joshnich, thank you for your knob cover offer! You have a PM.

He's given you some ammo. Offer him $400 - say your not a huge fan of RF-7's either and just need some garage speakers. If they are in great condition like he says, $650 is very good. I'm buying a pair of 7's from SWL tomorrow for definately more than that.

My wife comes in our computer room, "What was so funny?" Still haven't heard Cornwalls. When I picked up some Heresy cabs from tidmack, I saw a pair at his place (bigger than my mind's image) but did not have the pleasure. Soon. Patience. Good luck on your 299 refurb.

Dude, with all that......time to get a larger TV! []

I own an original Scott 299-C. It performs ok but needs an overhaul. I'm here to give a second 'woot!' for Craig at NOSValves. I've been emailing him back and forth with questions about my 299. He responded quickly with a rough price on overhauling the unit, and his opinions about the C that I have. Haven't done the overhaul yet - [:$] - other projects getting in the way! What I'm saying is just from is emails I know you'd working with a good guy. edit: Forgot to say I paid $275 for my Scott 299-C. Here are some pics if you like.

Same as Youthman, I can only comment on an older model. I have used the AVR525 for 8 years now. Has preouts and analog ins, 70 watts x 7, no HDMI.

I must share. Floyd + MoFi = Bliss

Welcome to the Forum, Ridgerunner. You can try Klipsch if you want new ones. They stopped production of them in 2004, so they may no longer carry them. OR maybe they do! Klipsch Customer Support 1-800-KLIPSCH (1-800-554-7724) support@klipsch.com If Klipsch doesn't have new or you want a used pair, post a WTB (want to buy) in the Garage sale section here on the Forum - maybe someone can help you out. And of course there is always Ebay & Craigslist. Good luck in your search.

I was looking at the VRD Tube amp Craig sells, and I don't understand this line in the specs: 60 watts Ultra Linear/30 watts Triode switchable I know one shouldn't get too hung up on watts.....I'm just curious. Could someone please explain these? I can email Craig and ask him, but here is good too.

Doesn't 2.83 volts equal 1 watt? Aren't they just using different terms?

Look at that cover.....She DOES have her own island!

From what I understand, there is no difference in sound quality. And as Wm McD pointed out, same with complicated computer programs. Burned duplicates perform just as fine. The only difference I know of doesn't have to do with sound quality. A commercially made disc will last a long time, where as a burned CD-R has a shelf life of 10-12 years. This is what I've read but not experienced personally so far. I have many burned music cds for the car that I've had for about 10 years and no deterioration yet.

She's 51.....and fine.

I haven't personally heard them yet, but many here praise Emotiva gear.

Carbon, I think wuzzzer is looking for a KLF-C7 or an Academy. I think he's leaning toward the Academy, but it's worth contacting him. If you decide on selling something.....It IS hard to thin down speakers around the house.

The dude needs an amp. Without having pre-outs he'll need a pre-amp as well but he still needs an amp! Thanx, Russ Sorry I should have clarified. The Denon AVR689 cannot be used with an external amp. Thanks Russ.

Read a couple reviews and I'm psyched! Rolling Stone, "Where does she go between albums? She probably has her own island." To get by between her last couple albums, I've listened to Sweetback. It's her band on their own - two releases, here and here. Keep in mind they have guest vocalists (with some instrumentals), so it strays from Sade for sure. But still, some sweet percussion loop and bass grooves. Ready for Sade! Can't wait for those despondent lyrics! [Y]

I don't own one, but I like this option: Stereo mode was changed from all channel stereo to simple 2 channel stereo. In the past I've wanted a 'party mode' all channel stereo with a receiver/processor, but lately (as I age) this is more appealing. This unit gets more yummy every time I look at it.
