The machines should create a dinosaur like terminator called the Terminosaurus back in time to find the bit of primordial jelly that the first humans evolved out of and drink it so that humans never existed. The humans will then send Charlton Heston and Chris Rock back in time to stop the Terminosaurus. At the movie's climax the machines suddenly realize that if humans never existed than neither would they, and the Terminosaurus repents and adopts a live-and-let-live ideology that would forever alter the course of Time Travel filmmaking. The film closes with Chris Rock riding the Terminosaurus into the sunset with them singing a broken duet of "Unchained Melody"----------------
Ahh, but if you kill off humans, who is going to create the machines?

I didn't really compare the woofer magnets for size/weight, but the cone material felt a little more sturdy and is black instead of white. The surrounds (not sure what it's called, but where the cone meets the basket of the speaker) are convex rather than concave on the K-8-K. I'm at work now, but I'm pretty sure that's correct (haven't had the grills off in awhile either, I'll check to make sure tonight). If there's anything else you want to know, go ahead and ask and I'll try to answer.
As for premature failure, even though Klipsch denies it, there have been an awful lot of cases of K-8-K drivers failing, and one of mine failed and it was set to small and the bass setting flat at the time. It just up and started distorting one day. They may have been abused at one point, but the others are holding up just fine (One I admit blowing was my fault. Got a little carried away, but why not try and take them to the limits once in awhile? ).

I have had to replace 2 drivers since I've had the speakers. The newer driver sounds exactly as the old one did IMO.
-
Not sure if that's a good price or not, but I thought I'd let yall know.

See Audiogon

In my opinion, they sound the same and I think most would agree. I only use coax cable because I unknowingly bent one of my optical cables and it quit working. Far too fragile if you ask me. Stick with coax.

Kg-1, 1.2, or 1.5 for surrounds would be best. Any of which could be wall mounted. KV-3 is the center of choice. Sub? Any will do.
-
Damn, there are never any good deals like this in the midwest. Still looking for more Klipsch too.

Well, my 630 has independent bass/treble controls for the left and right sides. It can also serve as a pre-amp, while the 430 cannot. I think the 730 is just a newer version of the 630, but I may be mistaken.
Hope this helps.

Congrats on your 1000th post! (Sorry, I just noticed it for some reason)

Receiver - $300
KG-4, KV-3, KG-1.2 - $500
TV - Free (Let's say $500)
DVD - $140
Sub - $175 (POS!!)
Cables - $100 tops
Well under $2k. Not bad for a first 5.1 system. Of course, I've added a few things.
I think about $3k would suffice for your average Joe. I need a new TV and a better Sub.

Without having a huge budget on CD's, I do what I can by ripping my friend's CD's...How can a RW sub work if my amp is only 2 channels?Are there any single-loading CD players in the $50-$200 that are worth getting? My amp doesn't have digital-in, just RCA. Is there a huge difference of quality between the sub-$100 and $100-$300 range in CD players?----------------
Just use the main pre-outs to run your sub.
As for qualiy between CD players, I think you'd do just fine with your typical Sony/Pioneer/Yamaha/Denon etc..
See if you can't find a used/refurbished Denon DCM-280. You can find them for a little over $100 on eBay.

THX is worthless IMO. I wouldn't even consider it important when choosing between 2 receivers.

Avman's co-worker:
Why don't you go outside and play Hide-and-go-f***-yourself?

All's well that ends well. I knew the 2802 wasn't the problem, as mine has no problem even running my 4 ohm KG-4's.

Flooded basement almost got my Klipsch!
in General Klipsch Info
Posted
It's been raining nonstop for almost 3 days now. Sleeping last night when around 2:30 my dad yells at me to get up because the basement is flooding. Seems the sump pump couldn't keep up with the amount of water coming in and overheated. When it died, the rest of the foundation started springing leaks (the house is only 2 years old!!) and half the basement was flooded including most of my boxes I had my stuff in to prepare for my moving out
and one pair of my KG-4's I had taken down was about 1 foot from the water!!
On top of this, there's a cheap pair of cornerhorns locally that I may have picked up, but now have nowhere to put them. This sucks.
