  1. I was wondering if you guys knew of any home theatre stores around the tampa bay area. Near USF would be preffered. Thanks guys.
  2. Nice I say you reward her with your TUBE amp. Man that was cheasy of me.
  3. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will definetely look into upgrading the reciever. I was looking at going to seperates, but my one concern is that I won't hear the difference. [] I guess I just need to go our and listen. The Heritage line would be awesome, but the WAF I know would not go for the looks. RF7's are already a big sell. But out of curiousity what speakers would you buy outside of the klipsch family and consider that an upgrade?
  4. So I have this system for a couple of years now, and was wondering what you guys considered was a worthwhile upgrade from this system(RF7/RC7/RS7). All suggestions klipsch or non klipsch are welcomed. Basically those of you with this setup, what would you upgrade to?
  5. Theears...noooo you can't change the little green elf avatar. It defined you. We want the elf, we want the elf. Made you seem almost magical[]
  6. Forever. I've been wanting my amp to die so that way I would have a great excuse to buy a new one. Juice has been spilled in it, and the bastard still lives.
  7. yikes that site looks shady as hell. Whenever I see that hand shaking pic I get worried. Ya that HS 20 price is a killer price. I highly doubt that this place is legit.
  8. My girlfriend is giving me this present, but otherwise great idea!!!
  9. So I am about to turn 24 and have a budget of $200-$300 to spend on a gift, but I don't know what. I went to the mall and didn't find crap. I am open to suggestions fellas. Thanks
  10. yikes!!!! I have it plugged in right now. Looks like I just can't leave it like this. Now you got me all worried. I am going to try to give it a more thorough cleaning with alcohol. Just curious, if anyone knows why it wouldn't work last night, and it works today? Is there some built in safety delay?
  11. Woo Hoo...sort of. Looks like time heals all. Today just for the hell of it, I tried turning it on again and walla. It's alive!!!. Its a little quirky though. It turned off again after about 5 minutes, but I was able to quickly turn it on again. Then for some reason it went into headphone mode, though no headphones were plugged in. Looks like if it doesn't recover I may just trash it and go for separates.
  12. Well I've done it now...While watching TV in my bedroom I spilled some juice on my reciever. The HTR-5280 has some slots on the top to vent and I watched the juice rush into the slots like a river. The receiver was on at the time it happened, and about a second after the juice rushed into the slots it turned off. Now it won't come on. I am hoping that there is a simple fix. I have opened it up and dried it off as best as I could, but since it was so hot due to being on, it was pretty much dry. Can someone with some tech experience please help with what the fix could be. The bottom link has some pictures of all the guts. Picture 1211 is a close up of where most of the juice spilled. Picture 1210 is a where the power cord connects to. http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4287912867
  13. RS3's come in a wood veneer?
  14. Ya..I had the RF3's and I went straight to the 7's. I would also skip the 5's cuz somewhere down the line you will start wondering about the 7's.
  15. I just went throught the antenna fiasco and found that the best antenna were the cheapo radio shack ones. Well at least for indoors that is. I tried the expensive amplified ones, and the Zenith silver sensor, but no dice. I live in an apartment and couldn't use an outdoor antenna, but the best combo I found was a double bow tie for UHF and the rabbit ears for VHF. Actually I only needed the rabbit ears for ABC, the rest came in fine with the bow tie. I then got the $5 combo thing to connect both antennas and perfect.
  16. So Dean, your saying everyone who posted their pic here is setup wrong? Can any moderator please post what it is supposed to look like.
  17. So the foam is supposed to be covering the entire back of the hole? Any moderators know if I should just try moving the foam with my hand?
  18. So is this normal, or are they supposed to be able to move down? I am actually using a small piece of foam underneath the center, but would have preffered to just keep the feet. AAAAH why are my RF7's falling apart.......
  19. THanks Todd. Is that The top or bottom Port? Do they look the same? Can you guys see my pics? Sometimes I click on the thread I can see them, and other times I can't.
  20. I did remove them to make them flat, but I was actually able to get one of them all the way down flush, but not the other. I then removed the flush screw thinking the other screw was messed up, but now I can't get either to go down flush. Anyone from Klipsch know what may be wrong?
  21. I was moving my speakers around and looked into the back of my RF7's and I looked into the back of the port hole and noticed the foam back there seemed to be a bit wierd. I had not noticed what it looked like when I purchased them, so I don't know what they are supposed to look like. Gonna try to post my pics on here. Top Port Bottom Port Can't get them to work...Here is my imagestation link http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4287594681&congratulation_page=Y
  22. I have moved my room around a bit, where I used to have my RC7 on the top of my TV with the screws out to angle the RC7 down, but and now I can't get them to be flush. They screw down to to about 1 inch in, but then they seem to be coiling themselves around somethig, and I can't get them all the way down. What could the problem be?
  23. Well I have seen a 2x dlp in action and I saw several rainbows, but did not get sick or eyestrained, nor did anyone who saw it. It was the Infocus X1, which I am going to be returning due to the amount of rainbows, and the noise it produces. So I figured if I got at least a 4x, it really wouldn't be an issue for me. Actually I think I have decided on the Optoma H30, since what I really want is a high resolution DLP, which right now is out of my price range. The issues that are part of LCD scare me a little bit, so I think I will go cheaper for now, and upgrade down the road when HD becomes more prominent. Most of my viewing right now will be DVD's where I don't really need the Higher resolution. Thanks for all your help. Doug I will be moving around a bit, but for now I think I can only place it about 10 feet back. So it is a very short throw.
