LMAO [] I went through somewhat of the same ordeal/situation you have posted but I ended up winning... shhhhh, dont tell the wife that thou J/K. Anyhow, to get back you your post about Bic subs. For the price they are a very good sub! I had dual Bic Pl-200's as I had them in my HT, work quite well for HT and "ok" for music. ITs not they are that bad for music its just they are much better suited for HT IMHO. For the price of $250-270 shipped they are a very good sub with no complaints. As far as the wife factor they get a good "nod" for appearance, they are nnot to "large" and they have a good finish. I wouldnt go by the weight thou (.. not sure if this means anything to you or not but I thought I would say it if anyone wants to know), they list the sub ( PL-200 anyhow) as weighing 52lbs...NOT! I just shipped two of them to FL and with good package they only weighed 42lbs ea.

Hello again everyone . After doing some more reading.... I have a question to ask. Since I have an Onkyo 808 av that has Audyssey MultEQ would it even benifit me to go buy & use a sound meter?? Would a sound meter even benifit over the Audyssey MultEQ? As I had mentioned before, I am a noice but I am learning . If this is a "stupid" question... I apoligise Thank you

Funny you mjust posted that as I was reading a little up on it. My daughter has an I-phone & pad so I may look into that. I'm sure I may be quite wrong here but just to my limted knowledge I can only assume the actual meters would be better thou... just as in my profession ( other trade that is) it comes down pretty much "use the right tool for the right job"... worth a shot maybe.

Thank you everyone for such a quick reply! About a year ago a started to take up "audio" as a hobby so I am learning quite a bit but never the less still a novice by all means. So I guess eighter item will work for the mean time as maybe in the future I can "upgrade" to a more expensive model if needed. I guess this all started after I got the Klipsch KG 5.5's as eve thou I like them very much I thought I could emprove them with new cross overs and the Ti-mods from Bob. I think it would be kinda nice to use a meter to see if there is any differnace or not. I have had an Onkyo 808 receiver for about a year now as I have tried fiffernt mains as I have found the Klipsch to more my liking, esp. for HT that is. Its just that the KG's see you need a bit more "power" per say to run, or at least in my mind that is, so I thought I would try the new "make over" per say first to see what it may improve. I have always used Audyssey MultEQ to do all the setting for me but I have found I always like to tweek it a bit more to my liking... so "hence" the SPL meter . THe next step may be looking into getting an external amp for the mains... maybe that is. I have read & been told an amp will pretty much little for what I want unless I want to listen to LOUD... but thats a differnt story . Once again... thanks everyone for the help and have a great day!! Jeff

Hello everyone, first time post here as I just joined the Klipsch fourm. I just bought a used pair of KG 5.5's used off craigs list a few weeks ago and like them very much but I have since ordered the Bob Cites cross-overs & Ti tweeters. Anyhow.... I am in search of a "decent" SPL meter as it does not have to be top of the line but something you would reccomend as a good/decent unit. I have never used one but am willing to learn. Some have mentioned on the AVS fourm that a Radio Shack SPL would work good as some say they would by something elese.... so I thought I would post on here to what you may reccomend. Other than the Radio Shack SPL for $50 I was looking at Amazon and founf a couple as well. Any help??
