Oh yea. You got it Wes. Yes in deedy. Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

O.K. Clu, Im probably going to explain this much more than I should but I cant assume your speakers arrived with the straps on or off. Obviously the speakers have two sets of posts . Four total. If the speakers arrived with the straps on and the +(red) strap is connecting the two +(red) posts and the -(black) strap is connecting the two -(black) posts AND you are not bi-wiring or bi-amping (which I doubt you are doing ) leave the straps on. For the tightest fit hold the end of the strap onto the post as you slip the speaker wire through the center hole of the post and tighten down holding both the wire and strap in place as you do so or the strap will fall off the post. All you are doing is bridging the positives and negatives on the two sets of posts marked HF (high frequency) and LF (low frequency). For instance . Just loosen up the nuts on JUST one - post and one + post marked LF and leave the HF posts alone. Connect the - and + of your speaker wire, make sure all four posts are tight and its Everybody Dance Now ! time. If you want to bi-wire or bi-amp thats another story that requires you to remove the straps and run a second length of speaker wire to each Klipsch. If you ever bi-amp dont even walk in the direction of your speakers with a second wire with those straps still attached. I bi-amp my RC-7 but I suggest you stick to the basics . I realize Im making this sound more complicated than it is. On the other hand Ive heard some unbelievable horror stories of people wiring amps and speakers and the only tune they were singing was Refried Boogie . The feet ? Leave the plastic feet on. If they are not on put them on .Carpet or no carpet. I dont use spikes. I also suggest leaving the grilles on . Why ? You would be surprised how easily a 94 pound speaker can tip over and it is also better to have the grilles scratched than crying in your beer after coming come and seeing an RF-7 on its side on the floor with those delicate cones looking like a piece of aluminum foil that was used to wrap corn on the cob for the barbecue. The monkeys ? Thats a long story that I wont waste post space with right now but monkey is a word that I use a lot instead of profanity. It also has something to do with my personality which has been put into the completely out of his mind ! category. He He. So stop MONKEYING around , get your wiring straight and fire those suckers up ! ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

Mouse Pads ! Don't worry Clu I won't say anything...yet. In fact I'll try to put it right out of my mind, O.K. ? Mouse pads ! Oops . Seriously ,if you don't care about seeing the wood finish on your shelf you can try what I did. Mouse pads ! No no I meant a blanket. A black 100% soft wool blanket. It works for me. Mouse pads ! Sorry about that. Anyway I draped it neatly over my 55 inch RPTV . It cuts down on both light and sound reflections around the boob tube and my RC-7 doesn't vibrate or move around and the black matches better than Mouse pads ! No I meant anything else I could find. So I killed two mice, I mean , birds with one trap, I meant stone. So if you have to use those other things(see I didn't say it)don't forget there has been many a poor hirch creature that hit the road due to living in an unhappy mouse Pad ! I mean home.P.S. nice pictures . People used to give me monkeys and gorillas and I know what it feels like when people at work are always giving you the bird. It was good to be the boss. Sometimes.Alright . Good luck. If you have any questions don't forget to write. I have the beasts too. Time to straighten out this pad, I mean house of mine.I feel trapped amongst this clutter .Oh Oh. I give up. Adios carbon based unette. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

I had to make a similar decision this year and chose the RF-5's . I listened to both in the same room with the same system. Does the 5 provide $650 more in the bass department over the 3 ? I don't think so . Overall sound it is probably worth the money.I wanted the extra 4 inches the 5's have because I do alot of listening standing up and walking around. Also remember,if it is a factor for you, that the RF-3 only comes in black. The RF-5 comes in black , cherry and maple.It's the same old story. Everyones situation is different. I got the cherry to match my RF-7s and never looked back. They sounded better when I got them home. Good luck. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT> This message has been edited by BBB on 07-10-2002 at 07:41 AM

Well Clu, it appears to me you need to hire a singer to master those RF-7 beasts in your house. May I suggest Marc ? Just don't get carried away with this Klipsch attire fad and become the forum fashion plate by making the RF-7s into ear-rings.If so you dun gots a serious mobility problem.I saw someone do that with a pair of empire state building reproductions.Talk about dragging your knucles on the ground. These designers make s out of everybody. This message has been edited by BBB on 07-10-2002 at 07:08 AM

Lets get back on the topic of having reasons for selling stuff in the paper .I used to have a guy who worked for me who was a real piece of work. He used to buy stuff at estate sales and auctions bring them home and run garage sales with price tags stuck on items that belonged to people that were no longer with us. This guy gave a whole new meaning to the saying Worth more dead than alive if you get my drift. He would advertise in the local rag all the time. He used to say that the idea is to feed people a load of crap in the paper so he could sell them a load of crap in his garage. He had a different story for every occasion. One week he would be getting married. The next week he was getting divorced. If the same people showed up at his garage for a different ad he put in the paper he had an excuse for everything and still sold stuff. Most of his regulars knew what he was about but didnt care. It was like a furniture store I used to pass on my way to work in Jersey . This guy was going out of business for 20 years. Anyway Mr. Garage sale had to let his wife in on what their marital status was (in print) on a regular basis in case people who called about his ad started to ask his wife questions. One time the wife tells him she answered some phone calls about the ad while he was not home. After she told him he asked her What did you tell them? .Did you say you were my wife ? She said . Well yea ,but dont worry . I didnt say we were getting married or divorced The guy flips out and says You idiot ! Didnt you read this weeks ad ? Youre supposed to be dead ! ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

Must be thinking of a hirch-mouse . No need to set a trap for them. Just cruise along with a door open and theyll hop right on in. Although I wouldnt leave my trunk open in any place they might be hanging out. Theyve been seen rolling down the road in people's spare tires only to end up later at some roadside crow bar bouncing up and down on the jukebox harmonizing to the Mickey Mouse Club theme song.

Thanks Clu. Its great fun posting here. Its like being in that new game show Bowling for Insults .The object of the game is for the contestants to line up next each other in lane #1 and 2 and try to knock down every pinhead in the alley. Lots of action around here. One night the crap hit the fan when the bowlers couldnt make up their minds to use #1 or #2. Loads of laughs. We were rolling in the gutters during one game when all the players kept dropping their weapons of choice after some prankster drilled them full of holes with an abuser friendly Black and Decker. They just couldnt get a grip . It was as much fun as watching a monkey left alone in a rubber room with a football. So come on everyone! Come on down to Insane Lanes and join in on the insulting one laners and inyerendohs. Or just enjoy all the action on your boob tube as the participants sock-it-to-em on the Wide World of Snorts. The smell of victory and the agony of duh feet . Speaking of which, why not don a pair of bowling shoes of your own and hurl a few fireballs in the direction of our peanut gallery and try to pin the donkey on the tail. Everyone wins a prize. Although most of them are the ones left in the parking lot by last weeks chumpions. All brought to you by Goodyear.

Followed by 3 full hours of the number one rated test pattern in the world. Hope to see you out there. Way out there. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

Ha ha No sandbanging here .I think the topic of unpopular movies is well .. uhhh...unpopular.I think it's time to move on to something I know alot about. Hmmm lets see. Well I guess I won't be posting any new topics if I'm going to have to adhere to that kind of criteria. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

Wow. That was some fine posts Boa 12. My compliments to the answering machine. Couldn't of said it better. Now I wonder if anyone around here knows something about the REF 30 ? ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

I was going to make a comment yesterday but BOA covered all the bases that I was going to touch. I basically do the same with my system as he does. It sounds great to me. Just my opinion. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

The SVS boys,Tom and Ron , are the experts . If I were you I would use at least a 300 watt amp and try to get a 500 watt per water heater if you can . I may get in trouble if I mention brands.What works for me may not be right for you.I'm one that beleives in lots of clean raw power. Hang in there and you'll get some recommendations, I'm sure. ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

Here's one I like to listen to and gives the speakers a workout but don't tell anyone. Godzilla .LOL Hey don't look at me that way .If Blue Oyster Cult can sing about it, I can talk about it.At least that seems to make sense to me. Right ?

Wow . I was bopping around here while tryng to put together a few french words of which I have no knowledge of and I come across this thread.I better not hang around here though. The subject looks like it has become a little too risque for me and it might get out of hand. So I'll see you on the next trip around. Bon Er Voyagee ! ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

LOL Cluless , now do I sound like the type of guy that would pelt anyone with beans without provocation ? Maybe there is a translation problem here. Perhaps we should borrow some south of the border lingo to explain what may happen if I need to go on the offensive. If anybody wants to test out the ferocity of my flompys they can expect Muchos frijoles hurled in their direction. Then to finish the job we will send in our Mexican jumping . By the way if anyone wants a copy of Final Fantasy I have one Ill give away . Now tell me . Who else around here would do a thing like that ? He he he . This could turn out to be more fun than un baril de singes. Adios or is that Adieu. Whatever it is Im not bidding on it. EEK EEK ------------------ tHe wORLDs werst TYPesT>

Tres bien, Cluless. Bring on the guard dogs. But Im warning you my hounder, Joan of Bark , considers French poodles as just a few light hors d'oeuvres or sometimes used for fondue but mostly end up as a K-9 pate.
