I was thinking about a new TV. The problem is that I can'tget any $$ for the old rear projection CRT. It still works fine. And it has a pretty good picture. I would increase the screen from 51" to 60" and be able to put all the A/V equipment in a console below the TV and make room for a second sub.
Not to be overly critical because many people do this, but I never understood it. When I dim the lights and watch a movie, I want to see the movie. Not lights and indicators from the AV rack. So I always put the AV rack off to the side of the room, and currently behind me.
If I were you, I'd get a 60 to 65 inch screen and hang it on the wall using a $25 monoprice mount, leave the center on that stand below the screen, and forget about a front-room AV rack. The next upgrade after that is a drop screen and projector for movie night: 120 inch of goodness has 4 times the area of a 60-inch screen.
I agree about the screen size and rack placement. When watching a movie I like to re-create the theater experience.
I'm finishing my setup with a 73" Mitsubishi and RF-82 II system, The rack is on a side wall so the gear's lights are unobtrusive when viewing a movie.
I'm still shopping for a 12" or 15" sub for those great movie sound tracks.

Thanks for the feedback on the spikes. I already tried grinding a point on some 1/4-20 stainless steel bolts.
I think your idea of using a lathe or drill press sounds good. I'll need to use by buddy's equipment.

Wow. I'm amazed that you are considering the same amp choice as I. Let me know when you get the Emotiva hooked up.
Regarding the speaker spikes; I'm looking for a reasonable deal on some spikes for my RF82-II speakers. They have a 1/4-20UNC thread, which I believe may be the same size you need. Newer speakers seem to have changed to metric, i.e M6 or similar. I'm finding it hard to come up with 1/4-20 spikes. Also, being an engineer, I realize how simple these parts are to make so don't pay outrageous prices like some want; i.e. - $20+ each. They should be under $30 for a set of four. Good luck with your search.

The parts are on their way to me.
Thanks for your help.

Anyone know how and where I can get some replacement rear feet for my RF-82II tower speakers?
I can't find any reference on the Klipsch's site about parts.

Thanks for the complete review. I also find that my new Klipsch system has a clarity that I rarely ever hear better.
