    Thanks!

     

    The area with the equipment and seating is approximately 13' wide x 21' deep.

     

    The one whole side opens up to the start of the 4' wide hallway which makes the room feel much larger.  We considered framing in the HT area to completely separate it from the rest of the room but I wanted it to be more open.  I think we made the right choice.  We use the room almost nightly whether we're watching a movie, Netflix-ing ( I'm sure that's gotta be a word these days) or listening to music.

    Thanks for the info. 

     

    How about ceiling height?

     

    The area I've been thinking turning into a HT is about the same size as yours.  The major issues I have are low ceilings (approx 7.5) and floor jacks in all the wrong spots.

     

    Thanks

    All I know is that my favorite sounding traditional style speaker with direct radiating woofers is the KI-396-sma-ii, and when Roy says these are voiced similarly, that's all I need to hear.  

     

     

    Was it the KI-396s' that were setup outside during the plant tour this past pilgrimage?

     

    Thanks

    My Old Equipment Listing

    in Klipsch Website & Forum Info

    Posted

    I though I read somewhere when the forum was about to move that the sig may not come over and should be saved out.

    I did not save my sig line so I had to re-create it when I logged into the new site.

    So, if you can't find your signature line using Budman's great instructions, then that might be what happend.

    Thanks

    Onkyo moving away from Audyssey?

    in Home Theater

    Posted · Edited by DoubleJ

    I just bought a NR626 and it does not have audyssey calibration. I was quite surprised it didn't but I was more after HMDI capabilites for it's replacing my old, but still going strong Denon 3801.

    Are you sure about that? Maybe I'm missing something?

    http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=TX-NR626&class=Receiver#features

    Auto Speaker Calibration W/Mic. ✓ (Audyssey MultEQ)

    The unit was a re-furb from Woot and there wasn't an Audyssey setup kit in the box. Maybe I got shorted.

    I didn't see the Audyssey setup in any of the menus when setting things up. Hmmm

    I'll take a closer look when I get home. I do have the setup kit from a different Onkyo so no biggie.

    Thanks for pointing that out!!!

    Heritage HT and 2ch rigs

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    I have the following shoe horned in one room that is 23X12..and yes, I live alone. ;)

    HT: 3 CW up front with a single CW handling the rear center duty. The sides are RS-3's so not completely heritage.

    2 Channel #1 Pair of Belles powered by a Scott 299c and at times a JM Blueberry W/cream -Musical Hall 2.1 TT.

    2 Channel #2: Pair of K-Horns powered by a modded point to point ST-70, JM Peach for the Pre duties, and a run of the mill DVD player.

    Not perfect but it suits me fine. The K-horns are on the short wall due the lack of corners and the Bells are on a half wall that separates the livingroom and the kitchen which that is on one side of the long wall.

    Thanks

    Second... what would the enhanced power supply do for the common fruit?

    There are three parts being changed in that mod. The 12X4 rectifier, the 6.3V bridge rectifier and the 3A regulator. All these are being changed to improve long term reliability. The 12X4 will be replaced with SS diodes, the bridge is being changed from 10A to 30A and the low voltage regulator is being changed from 3A to 5A.

    Mark:

    I may be interested in this upgrade/mod so I'm going to contact you via email to get the particulars.

    Thanks

    The Three Things That Suck Most About the Beatles

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted · Edited by DoubleJ

    What sucks about The Beatles is that they set the bar too high for bands to come.

    It so tainted what managers and record companies wanted to achieve that many a great band and music never saw distribution and discovery. How many other great sounding and entertaining bands that could have been will never be known.

    That is why I am a fan of "Little Steven's Underground Garage" on satellite radio. It features samples of bands and music I never knew existed. That and Seti's blog posts on some interesting bands keeps my backlog of new material to listen to quite high.

    Whats that you say???!!?? Seti's blog has more to it then just Retro Friday HiFi Hotties!!!! I guess I will have to scroll down a bit further on Friday's ;)

    My New To Reference RF-3's

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    The RF-3's were my first Klipsch speakers (2001 if memory serves me correctly) and have been impressed with them ever since.

    Like so many others before me, the Heritage bug bit me in a big way so the RF-3's were demoted to my bedroom system, along with the rest of the set (RC-3, RS-3's)

    My main system progression went from RF-3's--->KLF-30's--->Cornwalls.

    Like the Heresy's in Heritage line, the RF-3's are the best bang for the buck in the RF-series, imho of course ;)

    Thanks
