Back in the game haha My new small home theatre set up

I used to have this except rs-41 instead. Was a sweet little setup. Do you have a sub? And did you buy those new?

Well I took the plunge and ordered the orbital shifters! Unfortunately none in stock so it'll be about a month but I'll definitely be posting a review! Jeff was a pleasure to do business with as everyone has told me.
Seems like a really great company!
ShifterS? As in a pair? You just went to the top my friend. I have only ever heard one and it was pretty intense. All my buddies have heard pairs of them at a big G2G somewhere and said it was insane what two of those can do.

Don't walk through life with blinders on, you end up missing lots of good stuff.
I've heard a lots of horn loaded subs including a lp-tht and I just wasn't as impressed as you always make it sound like I'm gonna be. But who knows maybe it wasn't built perfect. I tell myself it was considering the guy that built it builds horns for tons of people on AVS. Very good sub builder.

Yeah if you have rp everything else snag the 260's. Mismatching front three is never advised

Thank you for the explanation!
You're very welcome. Cory is a great guy and can cut pretty good deals
You will love them speakers. They are pretty awesome

Bi-amping from an avr provides nothing extra and can sometimes have negative effects. You see the more channels you use in your receiver the less power they become each time. So using them just to use them can cause clipping from now under powering.

@MetropolisLakeOutfittersThis guy needs a 450c and matching towers. Hook him up
@willlandthe new production 280fa is no longer veneer. They are vinyl wrapped as well. They did that so they didn't have to make two different centers that were exactly the same. Plus also now that the 7iii/64iii is coming out they are reserving the veneer for flagship model.
OP, get with cory above. He is an authorized dealer and will get you a nice bundle deal on a MATCHING setup

dude your room is huge! cinema no doubt. make stuff work with your budget. where are you located?
many thinks i would love for you to do your research on cause a bunch of it sounds like it won't work. first off is screen size. I'm sure you could fit a 150-160" screen being 2.35 in a 8 ft tall space but you will be very close to ceiling and floor.
also i have a friend who sits 10 feet from a 158" and man is it overwhelming. too big in my opinion.
also having three rows. id have to measure how far my screen is off the floor, but i sit at 12 and prolly 17-18 for the second row and I'm on a 13.5" riser and i get some of the bottom of the screen cut off from front row. unless everyone is all the way reclined up front. and my second row is really high up. a third row would be damn near the ceiling.
just some things i noticed that sounded a bit off. if you know what you are doing then so be it, things just don't sound like they would work out correctly.
also atmos in .4 for three rows sounds about like a waste too. my two cents there. do a killer 7.2 setup with two rows. otherwise you need more ceiling height.

compare the Bose system with the most similarly sized and priced Klipsch set-up (Quintet or G-12).
sized probably but when is the last time you looked up a lifestyle setup? they can get to 3-4 grand. won't find quintets for that. but i do agree its kind of a dumb comparison.
-
Yeah I'd love for Ricci to get his hands on one of the tht subs. Just so we can see real world numbers for it as well. To me you aren't even a contender in the bass world if your subs aren't on that list.

Those who know much about horns know you don't need 4000 watts nor a 4" peak to peak X-max driver, Just something to keep in mind when making a judgement call.
The only model sub i was able to really max out without destructive qualities was an 8" driver in a Table Tuba and still this bested most subs under $1000 on the market.
Don't need? Lol sure but it's still there! Jeff permanian the owner of jtr builds insane products that take it to the extreme.
I think aaron has his head in the right direction by looking towards them. He wants top notch bass to match the rest of his theater. Jtr will give it to him.

Just a heads up here, you could probably have a THTLP built veneered with Walnut veneer to match the new K-horns for nearly the same price as the JTR but in the end the choice is yours.
I'm just throwing this out there. I know your a huge bfm fan but I think going by specs and driver usage the a orbit shifter would Best a tht.
-
Aaron if you have the room get two orbit shifters. I have tons of bass head friends around here and all of them have told me dual orbit shifters is insane. From 20hz up it would take like 16-20 of what I have to keep up.
If you can afford them money and space wise that's your path I'd say. And jtr subs will CRUSH just about everything out there. Probably some of the best commercial offerings out there unless we are talking other huge horn offerings.
If not the OS pair I vote for the S2's. I've heard them many times. They are insane. I know plenty of guys who own pairs of them and desire nothing else bass wise. And the cool thing for them is they aren't huge boxes at all

Welcome. What he said above is correct on bi-a long from an avr. Total waste of time. Can do more harm than good actually.
Also what hat he said above about room size, listening preference, and also the biggest one, BUDGET. Let us know those and we can point you towards a couple options.
Hoorah!

I scanned through all the pages and am not seeing a price for The Fifteens. Now, I have been known to overlook information occasionally, so if I missed it, I apologize.
Anyone know the price on The Fifteens?
Thanks!
Most will be 3rd quarter release. From the videos posted anyways.

Center channels on the floor. Makes me sad. Almost a waste. You really should find a way to get that thing up off there

I'm going to reply to my own comment (I don't normally talk to myself...). Disregard everything I wrote.
It just occurred to me that the RP series are rear ported. That being the case putting that centre inside a cabinet would not be a good idea, things could get boomy fast. The Reference II series were all front ported. This as far as your TV stand hunt is concerned is a good thing as it opens up many options. That centre will do best sitting on top of a stand. So ideally you will just need to find one of the proper width for your TV that has enough spaces underneath for your components. Many of them come with rear mounting brackets so that the TV itself is a little higher and not on top of the unit itself or you can wall mount the TV directly behind the stand.; this will keep your speaker from blocking the lower part of the screen.
I've always wondered something. Is EVERYTHING expensive up there? It sounds like and I sometimes wonder how people survive up there lol? I mean if so, besides probably being gorgeous, what would be the point of living somewhere so expensive?
Just wondering. Always been intrigued by the super far north territories of Canada.

I'm excited to hear the 15's a little more since they have a much lower price point than I thought. Also excited to hear the forte 3 since it's sounding like Roy is the man with the plan on those. Excited to see the new veneer 115 finally to match the 7iii. Hope it's a rsw-15 rendition really.
Also the new little sabre dac integrated amp is intriguing to me as well.
Well done klipsch. Let's get busy on making this stuff actually happen.

The 15's are definitely cool looking but the amps scare me too.
I was talking to cory about this last night. If the amp failed and could not be fixed you would be forced to go active from that point on. Or have a passive crossover designed by someone.

Well that copy cat!!...can you point cause I can't find it. Does he have the same carpet ?
Same carpet same speaker layout. It's crazy how similar they are lol

Man if you were closer I'd snag these up I think. Don't see them for sale that often. One I'd always said I'd try out of some came up local at a good price.

I'm anxious to find out pricing on forte 3. Let's start taking guesses! I'm guessing 2800-3000$.
