  1. I can get a set of 1 year old F3's in mint condition for $425 if I pick up but they are 3 hours from my house. Or I can buy a brand new pair from newegg for $570 shipped to my door. If I could get the guy down to $375 do you think this is a good deal? 99% HT use. The guy also doesn't have the boxes anymore which worries me a little for future moves or a possible sale down the road. What deal should I go for?

  2. 1. My room is 10.5 x 17

    2. 95% movies and video games

    3. Size is not an issue. I have a nice area in the corner and actually I prefer bigger to add to the coolness factor! :)

    4. Massachusetts

    5. I have looked in craigslist but since I don't know most of whats out there I don't know what is a good sub nor do I know what is a good price.

    6. I am willing to buy new.

    I have looked at SVS...the issue with them is their availability for purchase (unless you buy right from them) and the cheapest one they sell is $600. I have no experience with the other brands you mentioned. (hsu, velodyne, or epik)

  3. I have the c3 and f2's I am trying to buy some f3's as well as soon as I find a good deal. I have the Onkyo Tx sr608 right now and it is nice and powerful. Being THX certified it also has a standard to live up to as far as rated wattage goes and therefor the numbers given by Onkyo can be trusted to be accurate. When I get the f3's I am going to purchase an external amp as well to get the 150 watts per channel for the f3's and the c3. I got the Onkyo tx sr608 for $329 at newegg. Have not seen it that low since but I have seen it at assesories4less refurbed for $350.

  4. I wouldn't call any Carada screen "best bang for your buck". Homemade screens can be had for 15% the price and the quality is up there with any Carada screen. I would say (this is a comparison of my brothers Carada screen) my home made screen is a 9.5 to his 10 and it was $40 total compared to his $600.

  5. I am looking for a 3-5 inch mini exhaust fan that is ac powered. I want to install it in the back of my projector cabinet to help remove heat. The only problem is everything I see is DC powered. Does anyone use anything like this for heat removal in their equipment cabinets? Anyone know where I could find one? or who may make them? Thanks

  6. I bought these about 3 years ago now sight unseen off ebay. I had no prior knowledge of klipsch or any of their products. I paid $60 shipped for the set pro media's. I thought at the time (after reading some reviews) that they would sound pretty good and that $60 was a great deal. Man was I ever right. These speakers have single handedly turned me into a monster klipsch fan. I am still not into the "big boys" (read highend klipsch) as I don't have the money to get there. However I have purchased a few lower end klipsch products along the way the last 3 years. Never once have I been disappointed. Never once. I still have that pro media set. It was first used in my office for some light music and gaming. Then they made there way into a larger gaming room and were used for computer gaming only. Then they sat in the basement for about 1 year until I once again had a place for them. Never once did I even think about selling them. I have heard alot of people having issues with the subwoofer connections but I have had no such problems. Finally after about 1 year in the basement I found a new place for them....they are now safe and secure in my bedroom plugged into the headphones outlet on the TV. Obviously it was a dramatic improvement in sound over the TV speakers. Mostly I'm just happy for the 2.1's. They finally have a new place to call home.

  7. I have a home theatre room that is 10.5 x 17 feet. the seating is about 8 feet from the screen and front speakers. What size center would you recomend for a set up such as that? I am looking at F2's and rf 52's for the front but I am stuck on which center to buy. The 52 is a better overall size for my smallish room. But I assume that the 62 and the 64 are going to be better sounding right? I have heard the 52 and 62 but not the 64. They seem similar as I will only be pushing 100 watts to it no matter which one I get.

    The pricing at least for what I have seen so far is as follows:

    1. RC-52 brand new for $280

    2. RC-62 brand new $340

    3. RC-64 used but great condition for $500

    In my room with the amount of power I will be supplying what would be the better choice?
