OK, I think I'm gonna try that and see what happens!! Thanks for clearin' that up for me! now if my RS-3's would just come in.... my dealer ordered them for me.

So let me get this right??? The RP-3's line in is unfiltered? My RXV-800 has all 6 channels in preout (low level RCA) format. I run the MAIN right and left channels to the line in RCA on my RP-3's Amp. So what you are saying is that the main right and left preouts don't send the full spectrum of frequencies or in other words they don't send below 120 Hz? Its crossed over inside my reciever? Maybe I should try hooking up my RP's from the LFE out on my reciever to the LFE in on the RP's and then from the LFE out on the RP's finally on to the Sub like you said. One question though, do you think the signal integrity would be affected at all?? seems like an awful lot of connections and such for a low level line, Just curious if there is some kind of repeater or booster in the RP's amp?? Man I know this is a lot of questions, but like it says by my name, I am a newbie and I'm just trying to fully understand all this!! OOh and thanks for that attachment very helpful.

I already have a sub... My reciever is a Yamaha RXV-800 and it has preouts for all 6 channels ...I guess I don't understand that the .1 channel doesn't see much action? doesn't everybody hook up there sub to the sub/LFE out on your reciever?? I always here my sub workin'.... Isn't the sub out on your reciever the .1 channel?? and I use my preouts for the left and right channel for the amp on my RP-3s (the high level outs still go to the mids/highs) and the sub or LFE preout on the Yammy goes to my Sub. (Cerwin Vega LS-12) Can anyone describe what signals go to the LFE preout on my reciever? I always thought this was the .1 channel? Thanks a bunch! Launch

Hey all, I was searching back through the posts a while ago and saw a string saying that you should not use a sub with the RP-3's?? and that the RF-3s are better with a seperate Sub. my question is, (noone brought this up) What if you hooked up the RP-3's to the left and right preouts on your reciever to the RCA connectors labeled "line in" on the RP-3's amp. Since you aren't using the sub preout on your reciever for the signal going into the RP-3s LFE input how could they interfere??? The seperate sub would reproduce the ".1" of 5.1 DTS/DD and the subs in the RP-3s would just add more life to the music ect. coming out of the left and right channels. Any comments opinions?? I really think the Sub in the RP-3/5's are great! they add more depth to the music in 2 channel (as long as you don't turn them up to much!!) Thanks, Scott

There were only 4 feet/spikes and hardware included with one of the speakers, I guess this was a mistake at the factory. I just asumed that since there were only 4 feet and the owners manual in one box that the same would be packed with the opposite speaker. Thanks for the info, I guess I will contact klipsch for the other feet/spikes and I have decided to go ahead and trade up to the RC-3 Center ch. I'm going to suggest they upgrade me for a cheaper amount or free since I've gotten the runaround but I'm sure they won't........but I can dream can't I! again, Thanks for all your help!

I'm not to happy with this guy, He seemed so knowledgable at the time of purchase. I hardly even listened to the centers because I trusted this goofoff. To tell you the truth the overall experience wasn't a good one. This was my first major theatre purchase and everyone told me to go to a good audio shop for advice and what happened?? I get blindsided by this guy. and to top it all off, when I got my "A" RP-3 speaker out of the box there wasn't any mounting feet, spikes or intruction/warranty manuals!! Some may think this is trivial but when I buy over $1300.00 worth of speakers I expect them to be absolutely perfect!! and this goof acted like he didn't want to give me a set today when I went in! He said he was going to order me a pair but for some reason I just don't know if he is? I'm also wondering if they were a return or refurbished or something?? ....... Oh well I just had to vent sorry bout that, I guess I'll just suck it up and press on.

Hi all, I just bought me a pair of RP-3s and I have to say I am amazed at the clarity and sound from these!! I went with the recommendation of my salesperson on getting the SC-1 Center channel though and think this might have been a mistake?? another salesman gave me a different oppinion pointing out klipsch's speaker matching chart and telling me I should get the RC-3. the first salesman told me that the SC-1 has one driver that is active and one that is passive therefore for some reason (I'm not an expert) it would have better freq. response or produce low freq. better than the RC-3 which has both drivers "active". He said that since I want to use my 5 ch stereo and like to listen to music with my system as well as theatre that I would be better served with the SC-1?........ my question is ...Is this active/passive thing actually true and, in your opinion would I be better served by the SC-1 or RC-1. Does the driver material make that much difference in the timbre matching on these speakers?? any advice or info would be really appreciated.... I like to here opinions to so if you have on feel free to speak up... Thanks!
