  1. Love my 2.1 desktop setup in my office at work. Cost me $290 to put together, all brand new components. Klipsch XL-12s ($110) Klipsch Sub-10 ($150) Dayton Audio DTA-1 ($30)
  2. Great deal on a new product from Klipsch. I've been looking at these for a while to wear while I mow the yard. Just pulled the trigger. You will probably see my X10s in the garage sale section soon as long as I'm satisfied with these R6s.

  3. Very Cool. I have been in Aerospace & Defense CNC Manufacturing my entire career.
  4. New Dual 27" Curved Monitor setup for my office at work!
  5. Nice! With the discounts on these I'm tempted to pick up a set. Nice choice on the Natural!
  6. 99% of my use for this reciever has been for movies and yes it performs more than adequate. In regards to the power. It's often been noted that while most other manufactures beef up their power ratings, HK often under rates theirs and when actually measured they usually out perform the manufacturer rating..
  7. 75 watts. I've only heard one Yammy in my life, RX-V2700 which had much more power. Not enough time to base an opinion so I will let others weigh in if they would like
  8. It does have Pre-outs. The surround backs unfortunately can only be used as such. Or as Zone 2 I believe but not height or wide.
  9. Not sure yet. It definitely sounds completely different than the AVR354. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing yet. I think I'm going to buy a Marantz SR5009 to compare and keep the one I like best.
  10. It really is. I'm not getting rid of out of un satisfaction in any way. I just decided it was time to try something new is all.
  11. Bought a new Harman Kardon AVR2700. For $269.99 shipped from Newegg I figured I had nothing to lose. Replaced a H/K AVR354
  12. The flaw is located just north of XBOX in the pictures
  13. SOLD!!! I recently bought a new receiver and now have no use for this unit. This was Harman's flagship in 2008. http://hometheaterreview.com/harman-kardon-avr-354-av-receiver-reviewed/ I bought this item refurbished and still have the box it was shipped in for safe transportation. The unit is fully functional and comes with all original accessories. Cosmetically the unit is in good shape. The one flaw that needs mentioned is on the front display panel. My wife when cleaning the unit used a scotchbrite pad to clean a toddlers fingerprints on a small portion of the display screen(Yep I wasn't happy). This made a quarter size flaw in the tint of the display and is only noticeable in certain lighting. I will do my best to capture when taking pictures this evening to display. I will post pictures of the unit this evening. PM for questions. Paypal or local pickup.
  14. Nice unit, I've been looking at Marantz AVRs for a long time now and keep resisting the temptation. I'm secretly hoping my H/K takes a dump so that I can more easily justify the purchase. GLWS!
  15. Based on my calculations, this box is tuned to 45 Hz and -3db at 37Hz with the Ultimax 12. There is a +8.5db peak at 50Hz. All this is based on net internal volume of 1.84 cu ft and a pair of Dayton 12" passives with no added weight. If there were a single passive, the box would be tuned to 34Hz and -3db at 31Hz with this driver. edit: I want to add one other thing to the data. The Passive radiator is -3db at 25 Hz with two passives, and would be -3db at 24Hz with a single passive. I have no idea what all this means to the sound, but if you have a pair of passives spitting out 25 Hz with a nice little peek at 35Hz, it seems like it might actually measure well... If there is anybody that can take this on, the numbers are all above. You could build one these for ~$400. Very very easy to do as well. Sub-12HG $169 Ultimax 12 $179 2 12" Dayton Passives $70 Polystuff from Walmart $5 I'm looking forward to your measurements if you are ever able. What about the drivers you removed from the 12hg's? Doorstops? Just sitting in a box. Was probably going to sell them for cheap to get rid of.

  17. Good price http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Sub-12HG-Synergy-Series-12-Inch-300-Watt-Subwoofer-with-High-Gloss-Trim-/291677927075?hash=item43e95bf6a3:g:~88AAOSwWTRWyxqg
  18. Unfortunately I don't. I have no measurement tools at this time.
