    Oh man oh man.  I'm up in Saint Cloud dying here.  Been looking for a sub upgrade, specifically SVS.  Was thinking about two new PB-2000s.  I really was hoping for dual subs, but...:wacko2:

    be prepared to leave wanting more than subs. cause once you hear the cinema series, nothing else makes the cut...:P

     

    good luck with the sale! whats next?

  2. i have eight stereo integrity 18's, and i built first 4 from flat packs, and second from scratch. and i dont push diy much unless guys are ambitious and already have the tools and the know how for the dsp and what not with the subs. otherwise i find a big lack of interest right off the bat, and i lots of cases guys getting upset that they got in over their head and wind up disappointed. B)

    I have to agree with matched L/C/R, but, why is it that every manufacturer builds centers horizontal with multiple/smaller drivers?  Width of sound, stage, space, I'm not sure.  RC-64 as an example.  I feel that if I were running matched components, I would run two towers matched to my mains as my center versus one.  80/20 rule applies as I understand.  If 80% of the audio/vocals during movie playback is coming from my center might as well beef it up more.  I think everyone here can admit to noticing a significant difference with playback between a large set of Klipsch mains with a smallish center.  If exposed to such a scenario.

     

    I wonder about those that run Jub's.  What in the world are they going to run in the center to play with them, unless another Jub, or a smaller version.  So, if I had the wallet, (4) RF-7 III's for me.  L, R, LC, RC.  Blow holes in this theory as you will.

    Just to keep size down really. If your gonna have a center they try to keep them slim to they can sit on top of a tv stand. And the wider ones make it easy to set a tv on top of them. So it’s an easy marketing choice really. I run a diy setup in my living room and have a huge horizontal center. It has the exact same drivers as my mains. It sounds fantastic for a horizontal center. But like i said it’s HUGE. 

  4. I guess I’ll weigh in since i was tagged. Three vertical LCR will trump ANY horizontal center in seamless proper soundstage for theater use. I’m not sure how anyone can make so many assumptions about a speaker that they haven’t even taken out of the box? Lol. However I’ve owned a handful of 64’s. Along with most the other reference centers. The Palladium center is the exception in the Klipsch lineup. But i believe, due to its arrangement, is why it’s such a nice sounding horizontal center. However I’d still take a lower end vertical center over the Palladium if we are doing an AT screen. I tried a vertical tower a few years back. Never have looked back. Owned a few different LCR setups including rf-63 trio, Kl-650, and have settled on a kpt-904 trio now. It’s just as good as it gets. 

     

    Op your choice for 3 7iii’s is a WISE one.

    Based on those images you attached (which I removed), I definitely prefer the IIs over the IIIs.  I'm in the process of planning my HT room and I am going with the IIIs as they will be behind a false wall along with my RC64III and my AVR.  It's fortunate that I'm going this route and not showcasing the towers.  I would be disappointed as I think the IIIs are a slight step backward in the overall visual appearance.

    Any reason why you are doing a false wall and not doing three towers behind? Horizontal center would be a big mistake if it’s going behind a screen. 

     

    And cory has sold a ton of these so far. Just slow for the word to get out is all. The reviews will come.

    Oh my, dual DTS-12 in Youthman's theater room.  Too bad you are 3100 miles from me.  I would love to hear a DTS-10.  I can imagine a pair sounds amazing.  Best wishes with the sale.  Sorry you are having to downsize but with that kind of cash, you can get one heck of a setup with the money from the sale.

    i dont think you could get any further away from this sale. you guys can meet in the middle at my place?
