  1. Congratulations, but it's really everyone else who benefits from you being here. :emotion-55:

    Agreed !

    I don't know Carl nor have I spoken with him directly but I value his comments and his words carry a lot of weight with me.

    Congratulations !

  2. I would definitely do like Rivernuggets said and check the polarity. If not I think Mustang Guy is correct about the calibration.

    My 5.5's may have lost some of their sparkle due to aging crossovers but they are still an in your face speaker. Flat would be the last word I would use to describe them.

  3. My Focusrite is a Pro Audio DAC which comes with mixing software that had to be set up first which was confusing at the start or the more likely culprit could be making sure you have chosen the correct audio playback device on your PC

  4. :D

    Ain't no party like a Heritage Series party. Except a Pro Theater party.

    Yeah, the Pro stuff is the only thing that outplays the Heritage line, since this is where all the Horn improvements have been made. But you gotta have a big room or a very understanding lady in your life (or just visitors rather than residents).

    I get tired of the women much quicker than the speakers and the speakers are a better deal :D

  5. I'm trying to talk myself out of buying it just so I can hear the new setup !

    I'm dying to hear those new bass horn's . I'd like to see how they stack up against the MWM's, If they are even close then talk about an ideal setup.

    The MWM's bring a smile to my face every time but they sure take up a lot of real estate and I'm running out of friends to help move them.

    If they sound as good as you say those bins with 402's and a couple DTS10's would be the ideal setup.

    So I guess you may have the Ideal setup !

  6. THIS (by a trusted forum member) and a pre-pro and you're good to go. I can't tell you what a good buy this is.

    Must say if this was available when I was looking I would have gone with it !

    Matter of fact if it wasn't such a pain to take the other amps out I would give this a try . I'm pretty sure you couldn't lose.

  7. Nice score !

    Those were my first Klipsch bought them new in 1994 and I still love them ,although I let one of my daughters borrow them about a year ago and she has since informed me I am never getting them back. Mine (or hers) are still mint and I'll probably let her keep them because she and her friends really enjoy them and more importantly they respect them.

    Any how GREAT Deal on some great speakers !

  8. I don't know how the BenQ stacks up but I have had an Epson 1080UB for just over 5 years and it has been great. I switched from a couple InFocus projectors and not only was it superior in performance and reliability but the one issue (self inflicted) that I had was dealt with under warranty with ease.

    The only input I can provide is the Epson customer service was great , the unit has been reliable and definitely factor in the cost of replacement bulbs when making your decision.

    Good Luck

  9. If you're planning to use the XPR-5 remember that you'll need a 20 amp outlet to plug it in. Now's your chance to get it wired up since you're building new. FWIW, I'd say 400 watts x 5 is on the "big" end of the spectrum, but that's just me.

    Definitely a consideration as well as room and triggers for 4 Amps .

    I also agree that 400 watts is probably on the big end, but I would love to try that amp.

    FWIW I would probably do what I did and get 2 XPA-5'S.

    My reasoning was why get the XPA2 for home theater when I wouldn't run just the front L and R in stereo for music and even at that , I didn't think there would be a big differance if I did. Plus for an additional $100 I would have 3 extra channels which could be used down the road say for 9.? , passive subs? or heaven forbid - I lost a channel . I have had this setup for over 5 years and none of these have occurred but I still have my options and peace of mind.

  10. I will solder with 24 carat gold and build the enclosure out of seasoned Agarwood. Needless to say, I need to build the networks using Dueland components. The drivers fastened to the enclosure with titanium screws. Lastly, the pure vicuñas wool grille cloth needs to be woven by a master Navaho weaver. I will then fasten the actual leg lamp from A Christmas Story with the tweeter facing up and doubling as the lampshade bolt. The whole thing will be meant to be hung from the ceiling using fresh white rhino gut cord interlaced with titanium.

    I expect the project to cost just under $120,000 per unit. Most of that expense is actually to pay the poachers to kill the white rhino. It's definitely gonna be worth it. I'm then going to list the speaker on Ebay for $280,000.

    I think you should put lots of drivers in it and design a proprietary equalizer that it must have to run. That way you can up the price some more and call it a BS901 !

  11. But if I had to pick one I'd go big!

    So how does that sub sound with your big stuff? Is there a big K-402 in your future?

    Dam you and the K-402's! those are definitely in my future !

    Sub is in place but no amp yet. Should have one this weekend but it's killing me to wait.

    Your setup was amazing no matter how your listening skills are ! LOL
