    From one of the threads I read it had to do with performance gains on the amplifier.   I just hate the idea of leaving them on all the time. Was much easier when I could plug them into the receiver.

    For all 3 pairs I've owned they were left on at all times without any issues whatsoever. My Monster Power Center HDP-1800 has certain plug ins that turn off. You could look into something like that?

    I'm hoping someone can help.   I lost most of my home theater setup due to hurricane Irma.  When I have my old XF-48 speakers the power plugged directly into my old amp which would turn the speakers off.  Not too many amps offer this feature so I am forced to either unplug the speakers when they aren't in use or leave them powered on.  Is there a way to enable the Auto Power feature the factory disabled before shipping.  I basically want them to come on with the receiver and shutoff with the receiver.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I would be careful with this.

     

    Klipsch disabled it because it couldn't pass Quality Control. Therefore you could be running the risk of failure of the product if you enable the feature. Klipsch disabled it for a reason. I wouldn't want to find out why they did it personally.

    Never had the pleasure of meeting him in person either, however we did some buy/sell transactions together and he was always great to work with.

     

    I would consider myself a regular here, I just don't post near as much as most of the other regulars. I am on the forum daily, sometimes several times, and read most of the threads and posts. I always enjoyed Boxx's posts. He definitely had a way with his words and never seemed to belittle anyone. Not that all of the other regulars do, however several tend to be a little more aggressive with their post as if they are marking their territory as rulers of the Klipsch Forum. 

     

    Boxx was always kind, polite, and funny. His profile pic suited him very well.

    Home theater seating...

    I picked this up at The Great Escape as part of a Black Friday Special ($1423 out the door, delivered, and installed) I needed 4 seats not 3 which are harder to find. The 2 recliners on the end are power and the 2 recliners in the middle are manual. I was only looking for manual recliners (primarily due to budget) but can tell you that the additional adjustability that the power seats offer comes in handy for comfort in prolonged viewing/listening sessions.

     

    I'm beyond thrilled for the price I paid. It looks like it can also be configured in a 3 seat option if that's what you want.

    Are these Cabernet or espresso? They look kind of red to me. 

    Hmmm now you have me second guessing. I’ve always thought they were expresso and know that’s how they were listed when I purchased. They look very dark but under bright light they do have a reddish tint. I’ve looked at the label but don’t see anywhere verifying the color. 

    The last Blu-ray you watched.

    The Dark Knight looks spectacular on UHD/hdr10... it's a variable aspect ratio presentation due to part of the being shot in iMax.

    This is a title I’ve pondered upgrading from Blu-ray to UHD Blu-ray. Just get tired of having to pay to upgrade hardware on some of my favorites every 5-10 years.
