Everything looks killer! I'm constructing a very large HT room and will use the biggest TV made when I'm ready to install, but am going to rough in wire drop for a projector if I ever change my mind. How far back from front wall is your projector wire drop? How did you figure for a 100" screen? room dimensions are gonna be about 23'Long X 19' Wide X 10-12' vaulted celings. Powered by RF-63 fronts, RC-64II center, RT-12D woof, RS-62 Surrounds, RB-81 rears, B&K 200Wx7 Ref. II THX2 Ultra Cert. Amp, with integra DHC 40.2 AVR. I've read a million pages seems like, can't pin down distance by dimensions of screen, any resourses you used? Thanks. You are gnna rock your neighbors....ha ha, if the musics too loud your'e too old!

nah, I probably won't screw with my Klipsch', after reading the replies, I kinda think Mr. Paul knew his shi%, after all, I think he set the standard in the 40's.....heck, I haven't even set my system up yet....I just stare at them boxes, waitin' to build my mancave. I just read it and wondered if it truly is a problem at all, y'all would have known about it already. I think the best thing is to set up everything EQ, a fatty and dig in...thanks for the info as always.... WFO1955

Hey Chris, thanks a lot for explaining that, now it makes sense and I have some direction to go by. WFO1955

Okay, to start off with, I'm a dumb as*....flunked math. I don't understand the 1.x1.26x1.59. ratio mumbo jumbo. What do you multiply these by? Here is my situation:...gotta' 40'x40'x14' walls to 16' center ceiling metal building=garage. Here is my 7.1 system: Rf-63's, (couldn't afford the RF-83's) RC-64II, RT-12D, RS-62's and RB-81's. B&K Ref. II 7270 200wx7 amp, with an Integra DHC-40.2( pre/AV. Essentially, I can construct any size room that will be accoustically representative of a kick-butt HT/Audio mancave. Gonna use a 65" or larger LED LCD TV on the wall. I figure about 6-8' away from the TV, and about 10-12' fro the second row(raised 12" floor to view over front row). All components are gonna be racked on each side of the TV. Since it is a metal building, I'm gonna stud up 6" walls, then(believe it or not) 8"x16" concrete walls, then either 6" or 12" studded interior walls. The concrete walls are for security, (I'm anal about theft, gonna have a gunsafe inside). Considering the racks and front speakers extend out 4-5' I I help to tell me how wide, how deep and how tall the cave should be. (I was thinkin' 'bout 20' wide and around 23'5" Long and 12'5" vaulted ceilings). I also need to know if vaulted ceilings are recommended. I've done a little research on accoustic ecoutrements, but thats down the road. Please don't tell me to hire it done by a HT group, gotta save where I can. As always, appreciate help from those that know....I'm scared as hell! WFO1955

I read in another forum that an audiophile dude that has 7 channel system with klipsch' speakers. It was either a monthly newsletter from Home Theatre Magazine or Monthly Audiophile Magazine. Beside the Klipsch' he had a 200w amp and an otherwise good preamp and other neat stuff. He stated that he had a problem with his RC 64II. A blog from several members stated that THX recommends installing a poly-batting, similar to pillow material behind the speakers n the cabinet. Not tight, but simply packing the batting surrounding the rear of the speakers. He didn't say how many hours the speakers had been used, nor any real problems, but that the speaker system just wasn't emitting great dialogue/punch. Has anyone heard of this? Has anyone DONE this and what were the results.

You're right, looks like I made a deal on a bk amp, actually I bought both.

thanks, I kinda figured that was "for sale" items....

email me with quote here or at wfogfy@yahoo.com

right on, where and how much?

Does anyone know if the SW series woofers are made in china? I'm considering the sw-311, any comments, likes, dislikes. I really wanted to find an rt 12d, but can't. Thanks.

Would like to hear some comments/opinions likes or dislikes about this sub. I'm considering it, can't find a Rt12d. Have RC 64, Rf63's, RS 62's will have 145 AV receiver and 5 channel 200w amp.

right on, i kinda dig the corner design, think i'll try and get the rt12d, if i can get one fairly reasonable. Wow 18" hope you live at the end of a long road!

thanks guys....I see your point, with all the speakers I am going to use, rears may not be needed, I can always add them later if needed, but I think my system will rock and make movies come alive. Thanks for the recommendations for the amps. I will consider all of them, don't want to tax my AV receiver and burn it up or clip my speakers. One more queston if I may, Klipsch says for a rf-63 system, I should use the rt-10d Sub. Could I or should I upgrade that to a 12"? or stay with their designed system? Thanks again for all of your quick replies, dig this forum.

yeah, the klipsch design for my rf-63's are rb-81 rears. I'm bummed about having to buy a separate amp. I'm figuring on $1800.00 for the receiver, got any newer amps in mind that you could recommend?

I got RF-63 fronts, RS-62 sides, gonna get rt12-d Sub and rc-64 center. What in the heck would be better for the rears, rf-62's, rf-52's or RB-81's? Going to use a 9.2 145 av receiver. Thanks, mang.
