This next project needs to be very room friendly. I am not overly concerned about the warranty. Spring is coming and a coffee table design might be a nice option.

These graphs are 20 ft. from the screen at the MLP. I am thinking about an end or coffee table build. Something near-field, far-field is covered by 3 of the other subs. Any ideas? The Deep Invaders are in the far-field. I don't need to go lower, just looking for creating a balanced system. I have already broke enough things in the house, lol.

Well, I have damaged one of my precious UM 18 drivers. It is the one furthest away, 28 ft., from the MLP. I had previously had a full Marty or Deep invader in that position... The poor thing, Mini Marty, just was not the huckleberry to stand up to the task. The driver is still under warranty, should I pursue it or just stick with 7 subs. I can't say the HT misses a beat without it. Now, this could spur off another debate on how are the subs setup, gain matched, level matched, etc.. since none of the 8 subs are symmetrical. Then of course there are the I Nuke settings which can blow a driver. There are other methods to set the subs to a system in this case. Most are not widely known and are personal customizations.

The 9 has stereo speakers, a dynamic camera that can change the apeture size. Point it at your dinner and it will give you a calorie count, lol. Not a must have but, if you are in the market for a new phone, Samsung is at the top of the list of over iPhone and Google Pixel.

There are to many to choose from. What size room, HT or music, type of music are all questions that need answering before recommending a sub.

Auto EQ on a good avr should match the sound . If not, get a better avr, lol.

I have the Galaxy S8 which is a bada*& phone and heading to the store tomorrow for the S9. IMHO, these are the leading phones even though I can't get the wife from keeping the iphone and the Galaxy S8.

Time to get a new phone, lol. The Galaxy S9 is now out.

Semper Fi, you go marine. We love build projects!

Congrats Wuzzer! Those should put a bump in things, lol. Enjoy, my friend!

With allow volume, check the wiring and make sure you are at a 4 ohm load. The HST 18 is 2000 watts RMS. You need to extract everything from the I Nuke to come close to meeting the RMS. Send me a PM if you need help with the DSP/PEQ. This is not to say you need to max everything out for the room size of the HT. It should perform well without being at extremes. Balanced connection delivers a lower total power output in many cases depending on the associated gear.

If I could have a projector in every room, that wood be the way to go... You don't have lighting problems with good projectors and screens. They can be a less costly venture. BenQ all the way!

It most likely won't do any harm. A good bit of time on the net will lead you to some good products to protect meatal, wood, veener, rubber and whatever else is in the system.

Part of this discussion have been debated before. One thing, is the way we listen. We listen in the car, bus, train, shower, on the fly, etc. I use the Echo and it is just so easy to say, Hey Google, some jazz or piano music.

All cable problems should be reviewed by this guy:

I can agree about harshness but, not about the distortion part. This is not a common thing.

That looks like a tung-Sol tub or Telfunken. Now, check the pin count to help narrow the culprits, lol.

Unfortunately my ealth has not been up to snuff but, most of audio recommendations on subwoofer and HT remain the same. Get quality gear and you can't go wrong for the most part.

The focus would be on just 2 channel set stuff, amps speakers and what ever else I will be the first to tell you that I don't have enough speakers and would need the support of all our Chicagoland guys and reach out to Metro in Kentucky to help out with some of the newer Klipsch offerings. What will be needed is amps, avr's, transport like BDP's and etc. I will reach out to many high end dealers for the event. Just gagging interest.

For the most part, the interconnect won't change you sound much unless they are the worst in the world. The key to the best sound will be gear synergy, setup and source. I have both and cheap and expensive and no real difference. Proper setup will get the most bang for the buck. The cheap RCA, HDMI cables have no more noise than the more expensive ones. out Toe in or out of speakers by just an in can make or break the SQ and fatigue, imaging, or soundstage... A good tube amp can be invaluable in a multipurpose system.

just an update, the amp has adjusted to the 12AD7 tubes and starts right up. No real warm-up period needed. I just love this amp and the sound. I know many of our members use tubes with Heritage speakers but, this has to be considered one of the best options for RP or the older Reference line. The amp truly brings out the best in the speakers and all the power needed by the RP or Reference line! Just getting into the higher watt usage and it is just great. Nothing lost switching to the higher power mode. I don't do more that a few watts most of the time but this thing sounds good at 40 or 50 watts. I just can take the high volume and over 100 db for to long.

I won't comment on Jubs or the Khorns since I've never heard either one. I will tell you one of the best experiences that I had was a system with LaScalas, out board eq and sub. I said to myself that day, It would be darn near impossible to beat this at any price range. The room size should a big determinant in the final choice.

Corey, you words are so true. The Hi's getting to people has been a long term problem with some of the Klipsch offering. I will pu it on my short list for the up coming year to hear some of the new speakers. Your insight is always a nice touch!

I have noticed several thread related to the new RF 7 III, Forte III and so on, All claim that the past speakers were flaw and the sound was considered objectionable by a large number of listeners. It is truly amazing that Klipsch has lasted this long with a product that everyone seems to not like. It can't just be the made in America things or, are the number of complainers that large compared to the people that like the Klipsch sound. There are plenty of other brands for those folk to pick from.

Pure eliminates most EQ and is close to no EQ. These avr's cost a lot because of the auto EQ programs. Why buy it to just disable. My point is that it may not be the best EQ program for some brands of speaker. Auto EQ programs have be hard to judge because they will work better with some speakers compared to others. I am on the major Pioneer forums and just don't see the complaints. We all know synergy of the gear can make or break a system. People can pick what they think is a good match for their systems.
