Not a prob ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

I went ahead and bi-wired my RF-7's just because I could and because I had a whole bunch of speaker wire left over. Whether it made a difference or not I don't know. I figure it can't hurt it since it really is no different then using a larger gauge of speaker wire. Plus, I would think it would be better then using the Monster wire they use to connect the posts. Again, whether it made a difference, I highly doubt it made that much of one. ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

Hey Kain64! You basically do it like every other sub. You take the SW preout and connect it to the Samson 1000 using the Bettercables cable they include. Then run normal speaker wire from the Samson to the sub. Is this what you wanted to know? ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

Sold. ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

Hey all! I know this isn't a for sale forum, but there isn't one on the board. I have decided to part with my Denon 5800 receiver. My RF-7's will miss the Denon but I NEED money. BAD! This unit is in absolute PRISTINE MINT condition. I clean it religously on a weekly basis. You can't tell this unit from a brand new unit. My asking price is $1900. NO ATKIS REMOTE OR CHARGER BASE IS INCLUDED. I sold that "POS" off a long time ago. This is a great deal for anyone who already has a Pronto. Everything else is included (ie. box, manual, etc). My refs can be located at ebay under the name wildfire@kscable.com and at heatware under wildfire. ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

Nothing better then slick black Grills are on ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

Thought I would post the good news here since me and some others are Klipsch and Denon 5800 owners. ---------- DENON AVC-A1SE Upgrade 1) Dolby Pro Logic ll This upgrade provides Dolby Pro Logic ll decoding capability. The Dolby Pro Logic ll decoder reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround sound from 2-channel sources such as TV, videos and CDs. Dolby Pro Logic ll uses matrix decoding technology that has been dramatically improved over Pro Logic. With Pro Logic ll, for instance, the Surround (Rear) channels are in stereo instead of just mono with Pro Logic, and playback covers the full frequency range instead of just up to 7kHz with Pro Logic. These improvements let you enjoy a wide variety of 2-channel sources with the exciting effects of 5.1-channel surround sound. In Dolby Pro Logic ll, there is a Movie mode (*1) that creates a sound field for movies, a Music mode that does the same for music, and a Pro Logic emulation feature that reproduces sound effects in the way that conventional Pro Logic does. (*1) On Denon A/V receivers, this Movie mode is displayed as MODE CINEMA. 2) DTS 96/24 The upgrade also brings you DTS 96/24. High-quality 96-kHz, 24-bit sound playback from ordinary DVD-Video recordings is limited to only two channels, and there are also limitations on the picture. DVD-Video recorded in DTS 96/24, however, allows high-quality 5.1 channel sound playback in full-quality, full-motion video. DTS 96/24 also lets you enjoy both digital audio output and video output from your existing DVD player. 3) DTS ES Discrete 6.1 + THX Post Processing This upgrade further lets you enjoy Home THX Cinema Surround with DTS ES Discrete 6.1 Surround. Designed for the home listening environment, this provides THX post processing to give you clearly audible dialogue, more effective sound localization and directionality, and a greater dynamic range. The sound you hear in your home theatre more accurately reflects the sonic images intended by the producer and more closely matches the images on the screen. 4) Dolby Headphone Dolby Headphone decoding is possible with this upgrade. In conventional headphones, sound is directed into the listeners ears from two sides in order to preserve the stereo effects from the speakers. Dolby Headphone, however, generates signals that more closely emulate surround sound from the speakers to give you a more realistic multi-channel sound effect through your headphones. Dolby Headphone provides three modes: DH1: Referred to as Dolby Headphone Reference Room, this mode recreates a small, acoustically dry room, well suited to both music and movie programmes. DH2: This mode has an acoustically softer effect than DH1, and is best suited for music recordings. DH3: This mode gives a greater sense of distance and sonic dispersion to create a large room such as a concert hall or movie theatre. Dolby Headphone supports Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic ll, and Dolby Digital as well as stereo and multi-channel signals. Dolby Headphone reproduces the sonic experience you receive through your speakers from stereo or multi-channel sources. 5) Panja and Crestron Compatability This upgrade supports the Panja and Creston control protocols. 6) Improved Ease of Operation a) Adjustable Cross-over Switching The upgrade provides subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 3 cross-over frequencies: 80,100 and 120Hz. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system. Improved On-screen Displays The upgrade gives you the option to display the value on the monitor screen when you adjust the master volume. Note: These specifications are subject to change prior to the upgrade release. ---------- Overall the specs look good. I would have hoped for lower crossover freq's. If anyone wants to see the specs for themselves then go to http://www.denon.co.uk and look under products and A/V Components. ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated...

Congrats on the RF-7's. I have been enjoying mine for a few months now (RC-7 C, RF-7 LR, and 4 RS-7's Sides/Rears). Absolutely FANTASTIC speakers. I personally think they are the best speakers they have made to date (and I loved the KLF-30's). The first thing I noticed was their incredibly big soundstage and extremely precise reproduction of sound. I am very anxious to hear what you think about them when you do get them. Don't forget to post your thoughts up. ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

Here is a link with someone else who had a similar problem. Hope this helps Subwoofer Solution ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

I second the vote for SVS. I have one and love it. Remember, the SVS is big vertically, not horizontally. Space wise, the SVS will take up only a little more room then the Sunfire. (Sunfire is 11" cubed according to you and the SVS is about 16" in diameter. So only 4" more in the footprint.) I think you will be dissapointed if you get the Sunfire IMHO. ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

I also HIGHLY(!!!!!) recommend the SV Sub. I have one in the corner complimenting my R*-7 speakers. It's absolutely the best sub I have ever had. You don't just hear bass...you FEEL it. Just because SV Subs don't cost $1800 doesn't mean they aren't as good compared to the RSW-15. One of the most highly regarded subs in the industry, the Paradigm Servo 15, which costs $1500 was beat out by SV subs which cost a little over half as much (this was before the Ultra's came out). Now that the Ultra's are out I can't even imagine anything better for the price. For $400 less you can get an SV Ultra sub and probably enjoy it much more...IMHO. And if you don't believe us, then point your browser to Home Theater Forum They are the official SV sub forum and most of the people over there can tell you how good the SV Subs are compared to other subs. They all have had different subs previously. Inlcuding: Klipsch, Paradigm, Definitive, etc. ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

I will throw my vote in. I currently have the following: Denon 5800 RF-7 L/R RC-7 C RS-7 Sides/Back I love the sound. I have heard the Onkyo, while not bad, doesn't sound as good as the Denon IMO. Now, you are doing a little different setup then me (Using towers for surrounds instead of surround speakers) probably because you are more of a music listener (that's what most music listeners do from my experience). However, if you are a total movie listener (like me) then you might want to consider the RS-7's. They are FANTASTIC surrounds. I was also thinking about doing full towers all around until I heard the RS-7's. What I like about them is that they are directional (like monopoles) and enveloping (like di/bipoles) at the same time. Klipsch has a big winner in my book. ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

My favs are Titan AE, Jurassic Park DTS, Haunting DTS, Matrix, and The Fifth Element. Although, Titan AE is the one I use the most as it has just about everything to test on it (low bass, surround effects, etc.). I love showing it to people to test my system. They usually give out a big "WOW!". ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com

I had a choice of any color and I still chose the black. I LOVE the way they look...better then the wood colored stuff. Plus, as you said, they match the other speakers. But go with what you want because you have to live with them. ------------------ --- ...transmission terminated... Anubis wildfire@kscable.com
