I did to fail to mention that I only paid $20.00 for a 4' X 2' X 2" of the charcoal. Buy I do here ya, I saw a pic of your room with panels.. wich series do you have?I steered away from it after months and months of researching the best bang for the buck I could find. But then again, everyone has their own likes and dislkes.

I tried the sono suede and did not like the look of them at all and there was no difference in sound over the foam to justify the price. Foam can't be that bad since it is there number one seller. I also like that the fish is much more customizable and can be configured a lot easier.foam

Thanks!! All I have left is the back wall!

I have a RC-62II available if interesyed...like new condition.Still want to get:
RC-62I would go with bookshelves with your set up. Probally RB-61II
-
Have you considered heights at all?? I don't think you have enough width for wides but heights you most defianatly do and I would! I would go with RB-61II.Great looking Room...if I may ask how wide and long is the room? What height are the ceilings?
Its 15.6' wide and 16' long with 9' ceilings. Almost square.

Don't go with the klipsch sub...it is laughable at best....very weak sub and you can do much better at that price point.Or the option of these subs too...
-Martin Logan Dynamo 10"
-Martin Logan Dynamo 12"
-Energy Veritas VS10B
-Klipsch SW112B (impossible to find decent reviews) -
I agree with the above, but my surrounds are always at the same level...fronts, wides, heights and espeacially the sub are usually different by at least 1Db or more. I usually go up 1Db on my fronts and heights and 1.5 Db on the center. I was listening to music and these RB-61II have a lot better sound IMHO.Even if you change nothing and run Audyssey several times you will find the result will vary some and not always repeat identically. I would use an SPL meter, I have found my SPL meter to be much more accurate than using Audyssey to set my speaker levels.
I usually run Audyssey several times until I feel happiest with the results, then I always make two manual changes. First I reset my crossover settings to what I prefer which on my system are everything set to small, fronts and center set at 60hz and surrounds set at 70hz, LFE at 120hz, Second I reset my speaker levels using my SPL meter.

Great looking Room...if I may ask how wide and long is the room? What height are the ceilings?

I didn't do that yet, but there is a VERY big difference in sound quality and i was a bit surprised, even my wife noticed it.....sounds are much more smooth,crisp...I think maybe these image a lot better. Whatever it is it is a improvment to me at least!I then put both speakers at 0Db and the RB-61II's seemed much louder and clearer...
Did you use an SPL meter or were you doing it by ear? I really can't imagine there would be much difference in sound and there shouldn't be any in SPL.
-
No, Audyssey set the RB-61II's 3DB louder and I wondered why? I then put both speakers at 0Db and the RB-61II's seemed much louder and clearer...so I was wondering why it sets the trims the way it did....I woulfd have thought the RB-61 would have been turned down more not up?Let me get this straight, at one point you had run Audyssey with the RB-61s, and it set their trim level to -7.5dB. Later, you replaced them with RB-61 IIs, and Audyssey set their trim level to -4.5dB. And now you're wondering why the II's seem louder? If I'm understanding this right, I'd point at Audyssey for that discrepancy. I've found in my room with the exact same main speakers in the exact same position with the exact same main listening position, that the trim levels can vary by over 4dB on the mains. IOW, it's entirely possible that Audyssey just decided to throw you for a loop.
-
That is correct, that is why I was so surprised.I would be real surprised if they were that much different and thought they used the exact same drivers and only tweaked the crossover. Fwiw, Klipsch took the specs down off the originals on the website but have the RB-61ii rated at 95 dB/1 meter.
The cut sheet is under the RB-61 system and they are rated the same as the II's, 95dB @ 2.83V / 1m.

Are you serious....Man I am P#$#$#! I didn't know that LOL!! Time to play 3D!!!Just discovered last night, after playing for 1.5 hours that I can play Crysis 2 in 3D off my xbox
I've got motor storm for ps3 in 3d, but shooting games are more fun in 3D imo. -
They also use a different crossover, I had them side by side and the RB-61II are louder so I am not sure what its going on lol!They use different drivers and horns but 3 db is a lot so Im
not sure.
-
I just got my last pair of RB-61II to replace my RB-61 and ran Audyssey and with the RB-61 Audyssey set them to -7.5 and it sets the RB-61II to -4.5 wich is a 3Db difference. I noticed with the RB-61II they have more detail/crisper and I wonder why there is a difference of 3Db....the Rb-61II actually seem louder so I was a bit surprised. Both sets of speakers are in the same location exactly with ISO series Auralex speaker-dudes. Any thoughts guys? any other difference's you have noticed? Needless to say they sound great!
-
The RC 62 or Rc-62II do mach up great with the RF-82II but so does the RC-64II....I like it much better because of the more dynamic range and detail...but this may mach up with mine better since I do have 4 RF-82II in my front soundstage. I did have the RC-62II and had no complaints but the RC-64II is much better and is VERY wise to sink a good amount of your money into your center since it one of the most important speakers IMHO.Hi calvin,
The RC-62 is to the best of my knowledge, the correct match for your RF-82s. The RC-64/II was made for the RF-83 and RF-7II.
IMO a ML Depth for $500 would be pretty hard to pass up. Very good sub at an insane price.
On the surrounds, can you demo both?
Finally for the paragraph situation, the "p" and "/p" html tags might be of use to you.

Actually ED came thru and I have a 500 watt amp on the way, but I did have to add material already since I am using a smaller 300 wattt amp.I looked at the plate amp on the sub you have and at the bash 500, and they are different sizes.
Bash 500 - 11" X 7" Cutout
LT.500 - 9 3/4" X 8 11/16"
Do you have a plan for contending with that? Although you can cut the height, you will need to add material for the width.
-
I agree...my sub has had a 300 watt amp in it since the last 4 didn't work....I callled them today and got pretty ignorant, welll I have a 500 watt amp on the way.I have found this replacement plate amp for my Elemental design A5-350...I am not real happy with Elemental design...I have waited over 6 months for a replacement...I have a LT 300 wattt amp and it is supposed hve a 500 watt. So long story short do you guys think this is a good plate-amp?? It has pretty good reviews.

6mo holy cow that’s way too long they should sent you a new sub before making you wait that long.

Actually I should no better than this I actually own my own forum LOL!I'm staying outta this as Youthman slapped my knuckles for taking thread of track (and rightfully so too )
LOL. You guys are cracking me up. Sorry I'm the forum police.
Ajoker is correct. It would be much better for you to start your own thread. You will get better more input that way. I'd be glad to provide my opinion on it.

Dumb question...I calibrate TV's (LOVE it!!)...how is a projectors picture compared to a top of the line plasma??? Good black levels and everything? My Xbox can be played on a projector correct? I was looking athe 90-106" range
That is cheap!!! My Tv was over $4,000If you do get a projector, do a bit of research. A good picture starts at just over $1000.00, but if you want a 2.35:1 picture that will cost closer to $2000.00 . Of course they go up from there. Screens or screen paint start aroung $250.00, but most people spend closer to $1000.00. Again, size matters here, so the bigger you go the more you'll spend.
They are relatively inexpensive, of course the technology is changing rapidly and you get what you pay for, but I would say you can get an EXCELLENT projector and screen for less than what you spent on your TV. Again, though, do some research as not every pj is a good fit for every room. Size, brightness, lens, and many other paticulars come into play on the different projectors...also you want to match it to the right screen. Look at some of the Panasonics and higher end Epson's for a starting point. I had a limited budget that is likely below where you are at so I can't get into too many recomendations.

That display is 64" so it is a bit small...my room is 27' X 28' X 8 ' how much is a projector...I could maybe a order one this weekend.....I also need some auralex sound treatments.
Dude, given any thought to a projector? You've got thousands tied up in a dedicated room and that display looks small-ish. I'm not trying to be a dick or comment on people's personal finances, but you've proved by posting this pic that you clearly can afford a projector. It looks like you've got the wall space for one too! Maybe the perspective of the pic is throwing me off.
So you are saying NOT to have any headroom??? You say quanity over quality?? That is plain silly because I see a LOT of quality in his set-up! So I guess my set-up is the same...well I dont like Mcdonalds. Another point is this.... it is HIS system and he is very proud of what he has and he should be, is there a real reason to knock his system?
I call this the "Happy Meal Syndrome". Quantity over quality.Reference Head, that is a VERY nice setup. Everything is in just the right place and the best you would want and arrange in that space for 7.1 !
