  1. Still no correct answer for the Grateful Dead question. I'm guessing Germany - large european county with a lot of US citizens there at the time.
  2. Please add me: WSD - Sarasota, FL 34235
  3. The song is "signs" Tesla remade it for the five man acoustical band live recording, I can't recall the name of the orignal band
  4. Canada , maybe for the dead question
  5. Sign Anderson (sp??) Jerry Lee Lewis married his cousin, what was her name?
  6. I recently finished my HT setup, I have the same Denon rcvr, Forte' 1's front, Academy center and KG-3's surrounds in a 12 x 12 semi-octagonal room. It's sounded pretty good (esp. music) - but movies seemed to lack a little - 2 weeks ago a local HT company had a closeout sale of equipment and I was able to purchase a RW-10 for ~$200 - what a difference it made. Regards, Shawn I would like to clarify - I only use the sub for movie LFE, It made a huge improvement - but I would recommend a 12" SUB and will probably upgrade to one once the $ is available. ( the 10" does pretty good, but I have seen some limitations - esp. Darla tapping on aquarium on Nemo DVD)
  7. Randy, I'm not sure were you are located or if you have the speakers yet - there is currently a listing on e-bay for a set of Oiled Oak Forte II and an Oiled Oak Academy out of Pine Colorado, local pick-up only (no affiliation) ~$460.00 Regards, Shawn
  8. Randy, I just finished completing my HT setup with Forte' 1's in front, Academy as a center and KG-3's as surrounds and a RW-10 sub in a 12 x 12 room. Sounds great, I also had a hard time finding a stand, I came across a pretty good one (search for Bello - Pamari 44" TV Stand) I have a 50" Sony DLP on it. with the Acdamey in the center shelf and all my components on the lower shelf. I have photos - I can upload later if you'd like (at work now) Regards, Shawn
  9. Thanks for all the inputs.
  10. I have Forte I's for fronts, Academy for center and KG3's for surrounds (no sub yet). my room is 12 x12. I have narrowed my selection down to the following AVR's (price limitation) Denon AVR-1910 (~$410 shipped) or the Onyko TX-SR607 (~$399 shipped) I am unable to listen to either prior to purchase, I have heard that Denon has a better sound with the older klipsch speakers. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks

    HT setup

    I am the original owner of a pair of Forte's (OW - purchased 1988) and a pair of KG3 (OW - purchased in 1992). Used with Carver CT-7 and M-.5T for 2 channel audio. I recently inherited a Sony KDFE50-A10 DLP HDTV , a Sony SAVA 500 HT system and a set of Bose 6.2 and JBL J2050 speakers. I have a 12 x 12 den, which wifey says I can convert into a theater. I have a limited budget and am considering either an Oynko TXSR607 (available locally new ~$400) or a Sony DH800 AV receiver. A couple of questions? 1. Can/should I use the J2050's as center channel? 2. I was thinking Fortes as fronts and KG3 as rears. 3. Should I trash the Bose, and do a 5 channel setup or use the bose as surrounds? 4. The Forte's do well with low end - do I need a Sub? 5. Any recommendations/rejections on the AV receivers? Thanks for any input.
