[OT: Find the Cheapest LCD]

I thought CRT was cathode ray tube...

[Putting a plywood board under your subwoofer?]

cool setup. I suppose any 4 pieces of sturdy material could be used as the "cones" that you described. I think I'll experiment with different types.

[Good Stuff]

Well my 4.1 pros just arrived this morning....... all the hype seems to have been completely true! Good, good, good stuff.

[Putting a plywood board under your subwoofer?]

I would like to see pictures when it is finished. I've heard of people using spikes on the bottom of their speakers and stuff. I might try this.

[Can i buy a 4.1 head for my v.2-400's?]

yes, you can buy the new control pod. it's on Klipsch's website for like $50 I believe.

[Problems]

also, you may want to clean the connectors (on the wire, not the speakers) with rubbing alcohol. may help a little. it usually helps me with devices that use min-plugs such as those.

[Why!!!!]

Bose is popular, because many consumers are not interested in "high end" audio, and wish to buy things that are convenient, and perform decently. Bose does just that. They're alright speakers, if you like to have music in the background while you work, etc. (for the average consumer). Their high price is 'justified' with good looks, small size, and convenience, and that describes many products on the market today. "Better Sound Through Research" = "More Money for us Through Consumer Surveys, Publicity, and Media and/or Store Promotion"

and that's the way it will always be.

: I hate being phased out. maybe the new model of me will have kimber kable.....

KLIPSCH RULES

[Klipsch needs better control in Australia]

I'm sure that they won't ship them there.

[Length of included wire?]

I wish America would use the metric system. english units are the most idiotic measurement tools I have ever come across... I'm moving to Germany

[Length of included wire?]

sounds about right, as a meter is a little bigger than a yard, and a yard is 3 feet...

[Length of included wire?]

after digging through the internet, I found that the surround cables are about 16 and the front about 10. I dunno if this is correct, but anything close to those measurements will suit me fine. thanks for your help

[Length of included wire?]

come on, I know somebody knows...

[Length of included wire?]

I ordered the 4.1s, and they should be here soon, and I would like to know how long the speaker cables that come with them are. I am planning on making my own cables later, but for now I would like to use the factory included ones, and need to know the length so that if I need to arrange anything differently to accomodate the short/long length of the wires, I can. thanks a lot.

[4.1 or 4.2]

I believe that since the sub on the 4.1's has dual drivers, and is more powerful, and the sats are more powerful as well, that they would offer better quality. but maybe I'm wrong. 2 subs might give you an enhanced bass effect, but the sats still receive less power

[anyone else tired of hearing about the paradigms]

damn straight! it's about time somebody said something. this is a KLIPSCH forum, for people to talk about and get help for KLIPSCH products. go to a bose forum and bash them.

[4.1's are a dream]

I was thinking about waiting for the 5.1's because of their larger sub and center channel, but I don't watch dvd's on my computer, and 4 speaker surround is just fine. and wow..... is it ever fine. I listened to the 4.1's today at a local CompUSA, and the quality was unbelievable. those speakers sound better than many home speakers I've heard. the sub and sats blend so well together. I mean, they're not HT quality, but I'll settle for them for my comp.

[v.2-400 and 4.1 question please help?]

The 4.1 has an updated crossover network, so it has some better midrange. all the control pod does is add a headphone jack and a twospeaker-linein jack, and a speaker on/off mute swith thing. I don't think the pod is worth $50. maybe to others, but I don't see it as a vital piece of equipment.

[Receiver and the 4.1's]

lol sorry if I seem retarded, but define "line level out" it has speaker connections in the back, and a headphone jack in the front.... could I use the headphone jack? well, it has an IN/OUT dat/md rca plug thing too, so could I just get a rca plug to mini-jack adapter?

[Receiver and the 4.1's]

I'm thinking about buying the 4.1's, and I was wondering if there was a way to connect them to my sony receiver that I use now. I have it connected to my sound card and I use some rather bulky pioneer speakers with 16" woofers (too big to keep moving from place to place, cause I'm a college student) my receiver is kinda old, it's prologic, not digital, and puts out 120W per channel. is connecting the 4.1's just a matter of getting the right cables? or will the amp conflict with the one in my receiver? please help if possible.
