    Should I add a subwoofer for existing ForteII HT setup?

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    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)

    HeLp! Forte/Academy/KG2.5 for HT? Good? .....

    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

    Best AVR for Forte I's

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    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

    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.
