Well, the OSU vs Tulane game is getting ugly. I may have to turn to a more interesting game. The score is 21-0 in favor of the Buckeyes.

Also, considering buying used speakers. They will help with the budget. Basement location does require more subwooferage. Due to ceiling height and basement construction, consider in-wall surround. I have tried stands, mounting on wall and in-wall. They are all nearly equal in performance and in-wall makes wire management easier.

I would find a way to add a second or third sub. powering the sub is not the problem. You are outdoor and not getting much room gain, The only solution is more subs or a more powerful sub which has to be much larger. This system is most likely just for music. Some Pro line speakers may be another options if you are looking to get really loud . A subwoofer that does well in the 60-100 Hz area would be excellent for outdoors.

The amp is 1000 w X 4 or 250 w/ch. The sub is 200 /500 w RMS/peak. No real benefit with bridging the amp. Bridging may result in a blown driver. Bridging will not net much in volume. Doubling the power(watt) will add 3 db which is barely noticeable. Welcome to the forum. Tell us more about the audio system, room and your goals. In general you need a lot of subs to get Reference level volume.

What makes you think the larger horn driver will match well with the rest of the speaker or make it better. The original RF 7's can be obtained for a reasonable cost especially if they are not pristine.

I think the real thing needed is for the teacher to lead the topic and lend some structure to the topic. Each student should have to contribute 2-3 post per discussion. Their grade should be based on participation and not content. Even strange content can generate excellent responses later in the post. Good Luck Mangofirst.

TCU is an outstanding team. I would be lying if I said I was not worried for a lot of that game. TCU is scary to play against and has a good coach.

The TV stand appear to be mesh and should not interfere with the speaker. The sub does not have to be between or next to the front speakers. Subwoofer frequency are omnidirectional for the most part. Welcome to the forum.

it's a tough business when you have a small share of the market. Samsung, Sony and Panasonic all make very competitive BDP for a fraction of the cost. These companies also offer more streaming choices which is becoming very popular. Sad to see a USA product/factory go out of business.

The last post was all in fun and no pun meant for MSU or TCU fans.

An OSU player went back to his apartment after the game and sat on the poarch. A TCU grad came up on his porch. How did the OSU player get the TCU grad off the porch? Paid him for the pizza, he, he. That same weekend the OSU player met a guy from MSU and ask him how do you spell Mississippi. The MSU guy ask, the state or the river.......

I used the amp in my signature with the Forte's and loved it. It is high quality without the bells and whistles and a modest price. This amp has been to GTG's against amps up to $7,000 and held it owns. This is an ultralinear pp amp that operates in Class A the 99% of the time with normal listening habits. I have not ever thought twice about replacing this amp. It will be with me a long time. It sounds like the amp the op has may not be the right amp for him.

I have Aura bass shakers in my sectional couch. They will give you some vibration. A sub does not have to set net to the front speakers. I use one as an end table. I also have one behind the couch as a sofa table with decorations on it. Be creative.😊(note center of couch with marble sofa table behind it, he, he)

I have tried multiple amps like Yamaha, Carver and Acurus with an avr and compared to the avr alone. If the speaker is getting enough power, there is no more low end to get without using tone control or something else to increase the bass. A good sub can deliver a better 35 Hz and under. This is more noticeable in movies. The question is, what do you really mean by more low end? When I think of low end for movies, it comes down to chairs shaking, pressure in the ears and chest, air moving around the room. Loud bass can be achieved by a sub or speaker capable in the 65 to 130 Hz range. The Integra is a good avr and the amp may not add much IMHO. A 200 watt amp is only 3 db louder thnt an avr or amp of 100 watts. This is only a slight increase in volume. To double the volume, you need 10X the power or go from 100 watts to 1000 watts, Wow! Most of the large Klipsch speakers don't need much power . I have a 4300 to 4600 cu ft. HT and the never use 200 watts/ch for HT. I turn the system up to reference level quite often so things are running full blast. I do use subs since a subwoofer can play lower, louder and more accurate than a woofer.

Another alternative is a tube amp. They are not hard to get use to working and will sound great with the Forte's. A high powered amp is not needed for most music listening. I have a large room and alternate between a tube amp and SC 99/Acurus amp combo.

Now, you have to start thinking like a real Klipsch forum member. There is a way and get that old brain churning. Good luck getting up and running.😊.

No input on Wyred for Sound amps but, I have been using Class D for several years and love them. I use a Pioneer Elite SC 99 and have compared it to my tube amps and it is no slouch. The sound is very clean with a black floor. A lot of the rest depends on the preamp and source. I am all digital and have no plans to change. I currently use the SC 99 as a preamp and the Acurus 200/5 as the power amp.

TCU out played OSU and was much faster. They will have to do better going into Big Ten play. All the big ten teams will have to see where injuries leave them for the final run in the season.

A family friend just died from a flu shot at age 53. She developed Guillain- Bare Syndrome. It is extremely rare but if it is you, it is 100%. It is still better to get a flu shot......maybe?

No, I am an OSU alumni. That was some time ago, and it is always nice to see a Big Ten game. My kids also went to IU and Purdue where they had parents weekend on a football Saturday. I'm not a fan of pro football so, this is my favorite time of year for sports.

There are those school that always see to get good talent. I went to the UM vs SMU game. What a great time!

Drum roll.......I went to the pub last night and saw a fat chick dancing on a table. I said, "Nice legs."The girl giggled and said with a smile, "Do you really think so?"I said, "Definitely! Most tables would have collapsed by now."

Here is on I ran across: "My girl, Ginger, is going to die of syphilis," mumbles an angry biker to one of his buddies. "No," says the friend, "people don't die of syphilis anymore." The angry biker replies, "They do when they give it to me!"

You have put together a very nice system. Enjoy!

What prompts the question? is there to much low end?
