Picked up my new Gallery speakers yesterday and wanted to share some pictures.

So Ive changed it up again, as some of you may have noticed I have my reference system for sale in the garage sale section. Ive replaced it with a new Klipsch Gallery system. I did G-28s on all five channels. I loved my reference system and am extremely sad to see it go. It was just a bit large for my space, and when I say large i mean physically and the sound. I could never really push the system like I would have liked. I was attracted to the Gallery system when it was released but all of the reviews I have read were less than stellar. I was leaning towards going with a Goldenear supersat50 system after hearing an impressive demo of the Triton Two Goldenears. I also looked at the Definitive Mythos XTR50s however when going back and forth between the 3 in the demo room I was much more impressed with the sound of the Klipsch G-28s. I requested qoutes on all 3 systems and was able to get a much better price on the Gallery series also. So it really was a no brainer on which system to go with. Im going to start a thread for Gallery owners shortly after this post and will include the link in this post as well. I have plenty of pictures and will also give my subjective opinion on the G-28s sound.

wow... could use a few paragraph breaks before I try to read that! Just looking at it makes my head hurt edited just for you! sorry when i look back that would be terrible to read. just started typing and got carried away I guess. Changes coming soon! tomorrrow actually!

http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/tv/L75-A94 enough said. If viewing angle isnt an issue definitely go with a mitsu and these laservues are supposed to be amazing. Not too much depth for rear projection either and alot more bang for buck. DLP also would be a a better choice for straight ahead viewing and a dark room. Reviews are subjective for video or audio but i still read them for guidance and to lead me in the right direction. if youre looking for best bang for buck and viewing angle isnt an issue than a mitsu is the way to go no doubt especially if you want more inches. sharp quattron is a joke. marketing scheme is all bc they were falling behing so had to say they had a 4th color instead of 3 even tho its irrelevant to PQ. lg same, cant keep up. Flat panels are pannys and sammys by far way ahead of everyone else except sony but you pay a huge premium with a sonys higher end models. screen size and pq for your dollar is mitsu.

I've ran both at the strip and the jeep ran a tenth of a second quicker.... i have videos of both here on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/johnnydramafia?feature=mhee However the Z if a much greater driving experience and from any sort of a roll is faster than the jeep its just impossible to launch from a stand still due to the stiff suspension. The Jeep is a blast tho and a total sleeper.... people really make a **** face when i launch at a stop light, the Z on the other hand looks fast so people arent all that surprised. Both are amazing vehicles but would probably choose the Z if I had to choose one, but Im a car guy anyways, the jeep a much more fun daily driver tho.

Acoustic Sound Design and Sound Distributors are where the best new deals are, however if you are patient you can get better deals on very nice used equipment. You'd be best contacting ASD and SD by phone and telling each what equipment you are interested in and see which one gives you the best price. I personally have had better luck with Acoustic Sound Design on pricing but others would probably say the same about Sound Distributors. Both are authorized Klipsch dealers so you can't go wrong with either in my opinion. Welcome to the forum and keep us updated on your new gear. Cheers!

First of all welcome to the forum. Second to try and answer your question in most cases you are still going to want a subwoofer. However the RF-82s can dig pretty deep and go pretty low however it's almost always a necessity to have a standalone sub. Many factors can play into this though, the size of your room and what you will be using the system for (movies or music) for example. So it might help if you answer those 2 questions for us first, size of your room and what are you going to be using this system for. I can almost assure you though that you will be more pleased if you add a sub to this system regardless of your answers. I have the RF-62 system, they go pretty low and the 82s will go even lower however when I added a capable sub it's a whole other ballgame, I also have a fairly small space. I'm not a basshead by any means but do feel that it's necessary to have a sub for a proper home theater setup.

OK well I'm in Bloomington, IN 47403 so not too far away actually.

Where r u located?

I had a 370z nismo package solid red #274. Loved that car. Love Zs for that matter.

And Another of the Legend

EPIK Legend

Wanted to post some pics of my EPIK Legend and give everyone my thoughts on this sub. I think it's perfect for my space, easily the best performing sub I've ever owned. Being a sealed sub it is very clean and tight. Did some gaming last night with my bro in law, I never game bc I no longer own a gaming system but he brought his 360 over. I primarily just watch movies and tv. The sub really got a good workout while playing some COD:MW3. I enjoyed listening to my system more than I did the gameplay itself haha. I also put my system thru it's paces yesterday by demoing the train wreck scene from Super 8 and it was great. Really got a good thump in the chest from my couch on a few instances. The train wreck scene is definitely going to be a go to demo scene for me now. Anyways love the legend and for the price I got it for especially. Here are some pics.

Sorry I can't help you on the actual measurement. But if you decide to make the jump I'd be happy to take your 42s off your hands. Good luck on getting your measurements.

This thread has had me extremely intrigued and worried both at the same time all day. I've told my wife I'm gonna need a few hours to calibrate and tweak things tomorrow.

And the garage Pro Studios

Another of the S-10

Replaced my JBL CSB5 stereo setup in my bedroom last night with a set of Klipsch S-10 Surrounds. I know I know I'll probably get flamed for this, using surrounds as mains in a stereo setup, but I've always wanted to try it. I understand the tweeters won't be directly aimed at me so the imaging may be off a bit or won't be that of standard bookshelfs. However I have to admit I like the sound that I was getting from these last night. My viewing distance is only about 12 ft. and the soundstage seems absolutely huge with the reciever listening mode set to theater dimensional. So bash if you'd like but I really like it, especially on action scenes as I was watching the end of Inception last night and it sounded like I had a full 5.1 setup. I have these ran through a Bose Acoustimass passive bass module, I know it's Bose, but got it for free and my wife would kill me if I got a Sub for our bedroom, besides the module adds all the bass I need while watching TV in bed. Best thing about the S-10s is I only paid $140 for the pair brand new from HHGregg. While I was there I picked up a new Onkyo TX-8255 stereo reciever for $149 for my garage setup where I get my P90x and Insanity on. I had these Pro Studio speakers for sale in the garage sale section for a few weeks with no buyers so I decided to clean em up and get some use out of them. Not the most refined speaker but the output is great and they can go pretty low with dual 15" woofers. And they have HORNSSSSS! Anyways heres a few picks of my new bedroom and garage setups.

I don't have any direct experience with that sub but can tell you you'd probably be better of waiting and saving funds until you can afford a better sub. You got a great set of speakers so I wouldnt slouch on the sub. Most people that you read reviews from generally don't know what they are talking about and most of them probably don't have speakers as nice as your reference series. I too just tried to slouch on the my sub purchase and got a lava lsp12. I was not happy with it and it is in the same price range and very comparable to the BIC. Luckily lava offers a risk free 30 day trial so I was able to get my money back and put it towards a sub I really wanted and am extremely satisfied with it. Again just my 2 cents but maybe an official BIC owner can add something. Cheers.

first off welcome to the forums and nice choice of speakers. To answer one of your questions I believe your receiver has an auto setup function so start there and tweak if necessary. THX recommends a crossover setting of 80hz but with your speakers I believe 100hz might better suit them. All of this depends on room size and acoustics. But like I said your auto setup ought to be a pretty good start. Hope that helps. Cheers

My HDDVD & BD Collection

Welcome to the forum! Regarding the RF-62s I would say that's a fair deal, not excellent but pretty good at the same time as long as the speakers are in the condition you say. I just picked up a pair of cherry rf-62ii last month for $550 that were in very good condition. You might be able to find a better deal if you're patient but if it's what you really want I wouldn't pass them up. Someone else I'm sure can chime in and offer their opinion.

Well your definitely headed in the right direction, don't think you could go wrong with either set. Sammy and Panny's are the 2 best plasma manufacturers with panny's generally getting the nod with a lil better black levels and the Sammy's with a lil better color reproduction. I've always went with Sammy's just because I've always liked the cosmetics of there sets much more than the pannys. But to most that's probably not important. Another case of personal preference is all. I will second the notion of going ahead and jumping for 65" tho!

Lava LSP12 for $287 shipped with risk free 30 day trial if you are an AVS forum member. I tried one out and returned it but not because it wasn't a good sub I just needed something to go lower for I mainly watch movies. The lava is a very musical sub and has a lot of output 35hz and up and has received many rave reviews especially for its price range. Good luck
