  1. I was looking at NAD amps, and came across the M25. I was thinking, hmm, this might work very well with my system and then I saw the price and maybe a touch too much power...Does anybody know of any 7 channel amps that have somewhat similar specs that are a bit more affordable? Maybe I'm looking at too much power and I don't really need that much...I'm sure for my space I don't, but I like the idea of future proofing. I'm just getting headaches looking at amps and processors. Before coming to this forum I had decided I was going to go with the Onkyo 818 when it came out, but with all that I've learned about the power ratings from AVRs vs amps, it just seems like you get a lot more for your money by going with separates. There are just so many different brands out there, I'm at a bit of a loss where to start... All of my speakers handle 150RMS according to the specs on the Klipsch website.

  2. I haven't really messed with it at all. I ran the Audyssey and have been pleased with the sound. It seems to have blended in with everything quite nicely. I use my HT for 80% movies, 19% gaming and 1% music, approximately =^P

  3. This is really going to come down to whether or not you like bipoles or directional for your listening. I don't think it's going to come down to whether or not they are being overpowered...bipoles are designed to envelope you in the sound more than directional. It really just comes down to your preference...If possible, try to find a place that will let you try some out, or go into a store that you can listen to some to see which you may prefer.

  4. A new TV is next on the list. I just got all this installed yesterday. All wires in the wall, It looks nice and clean.

    Very nice ivan! Your stand is from the same mfg. as mine, Sunny Designs of California (Sedona Collection) just a slightly different model. You have good taste! Yes

    Thank you =^) We actually have a few other pieces from that line as well. The pic where it shows the rear surrounds, the drawer thingy is from that line as well as a couple of end tables. We just really liked the stone accents in the pieces.

    The height of the entertainment center throws off the scale of the speakers and sub. At first I thought you had RF-52s and an SW-110!

    Ha, that TV stand is quite large. The pics didn't really come thru very well either due to lack of lighting in our living room. I just took some more pics with the grills off, I think they look way better that way, but with a 1 year old running around I gotta keep em on. Here are the pics: (dang I need a new camera =^/)

  5. Can't wait to see pictures of that room. Keep the kids away from the volume control or forfeit your hearing.

    Anybody good with photoshop? I'd be more worried about me messing with the volume control. "Lemme see what these babys can do..."
  6. ^^^Oh my =^o

    They would get built into the walls, and there they would stay.

    Built in to the wall, heck, they are the walls! Smile

    Ha ha, true enough.

  7. The front panel on the RF-7's are definitely darker than the RF-83's. The RF-83's are more grey in color instead of deep black.You can see in the first image below the RF-83's are a lighter shade than the RF-7's.
