I think fryes right off exit 5 still has them and has a main room that consist of nothing but klipsch with a screen, at least last time I was in there it was still set up that way. Ovation may also be a place to take a look, I'm about an hour north of Indi and don't know of much places that have them set up for viewing. Wish I could help more since I'm closer than some but I'm worthless lol
-
I'm running a Denon, the lower of the X series (X-1000) but it sounds much better with my Klipsch than my Yahama ever did.
-
Nope, read it wrong. I thought it said buy 3, didn't see the "pair" on there
-
I like the idea but to run a 6.1 I'd be needing another 3 speakers for starters and I'd like to keep it a little smaller than setting up 3 Heresys plus a massive sw115. I've got the SW112 in the living room and it's more than I need now so throwing a 115 in the garage would just crush everything! I do like the idea though

The live-sound experience is always waiting with the help of the RF-42 II home theater system. Placing you on stage with your favorite artists, this system unearths matchless highs, mids and lows that are music to your ears.
SYSTEM CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING:
(2) RF-42 II Floorstanding Speaker
(2) RS-41 II Surround Speaker
(1) SW-110 Subwoofer
(1) RC-42 II Center Speaker

Reference Series
Think I could find this cheaper than $1,700? I'm not looking for anything fancy or even bigger, it's going in a garage that's finished. It will have 2 recliners, the above system, flat screen, and a beer fridge in between the 2 chairs
I've been eye balling it for a few weeks now and would rather have the towers vs the bookshelfs for mains (purely just seems to be better looking is all) so I'd rather stay with the towers vs the cheaper complete systems
-
Got the big "hell no" on the move to move the speakers up higher so I guess they're at where they're gonna stay. The boss never let's me have my way!

Hutch with the Big Screen TV! The Superbowl will be hear soon, get that TV.
Actually the 55 don't look bad, the picture doesn't give it justice! But the 70 is going to have to wait, I plan on buying a tv, AVR, and a small pieced together reference series system of the klipsch website all at once so it'll prolly be around this time next year before I finally get around to having the garage ready for it all. Besides, my boys ain't playing in the game this weekend but I can't let the hawks win, go broncos lol
-
I agree with Derrick. Get that speaker away from your ear and more behind you. The only way to go is above the door on one side and on the wall in the hall entrance on the other. Definitely run calibration afterwards!
Note for next Christmas. There is a LOT more room for a MUCH bigger TV!
The tv is a 55 inch now but a 70 will be in its place with the 55 going in the garage with a nice small reference series system
-
what am I looking at in those pictures?
The 2 pictures of the rears, do you see any other place possible to mount them or am I stuck with them as is? The picture that's missing is the back wall, it's only about 4 feet wide, there's a closet on one side and a hallway on the other
-
Sounds much better than my old living room just for the fact it's slightly smaller and carpeted but when playing battlefield 4 that speaker on the right rear is there, and it makes itself known it's there. Are they mounted where they should be or would you guys recommend different placement? I can always patch the holes I made
-
Well I've started putting the living room back together and curious as to what you guys think of the surrounds? I don't really think I have much of an option on placement due to the hallway and front door. Any ideas or think I'll be alright? The thing that bothers me is the right rear, it's almost right on top of the siting position. Granted, most of my friends and me included tend to slump down in the couch is it still going to be an issue being that close? I've already ran audyssey and finally got my sub in check so that's a plus.

I have the snake and arrow one. Williand recommended it. Tons of song sound is great but upon watching it I realize how little of their music I actually knew. I would sell it if you were interested.
I seen snake and arrow on sale in the $5 bin at at best buy, I'll prolly just go back and pick it up and see if it's any good. Wish I could find one with Pink Floyd and Avenged Sevenfold. Yes, large difference between those bands but they're my favorite 2

I watched Rush doing their 'Clockwork Angels Tour' show on Palladia last month. They pimped the Blu-ray.
I think that's what it was. Seemed pretty good, only caught about the last 20 minutes though. Anybody see it throught it's entirety? If so, worth picking up? It was only SD when I seen it so it looked and sounded like crap but had potential
-
Not sure if this belongs here or not so if not I'm sorry, mods please move it.
I'm was flipping through the channels during the delightful -16 degree weather before I
Windchill (-45) and seen a rush concert on I think VH1? I was wondering if anybody happens to know if Rush has any blu-ray concert disks available. I'm gonna be completely honest on this, I haven't even looked. Been shoveling out snow for 2 days
-
id say that as well. or maybe you could have a bad mic as well?
I don't think its a bad mic. It sounds decent but I know enough to know that -12 isn't that good of a thing. I think it's a lot to do with the room being bare and not using a tripod
-
Great read! Thank you! Guess I'm better off picking up a tripod and waiting until the move is complete and just deal with what I haveNo, I'm using the mic at ear level at 3 places where me and my wife sit the most in the living room. It's weird, if I go lower it blows the sub way out of where the rest of the speakers are at, if I go up to 50% it kills the sub to -12, I can't find a happy medium for some odd reason. The room is 21X14 with hard wood floors. Question, we're currently in the process of moving so I'm missing a lot of pictures, blankets, coverings, etc. that would possibly help tone down the system. Would this possibly be causing an issue?
Hmmm. Imo, if you aren't using a tripod or running Audyssey as instructed then there could be several reasons you aren't getting good results.

Well I'm either stuck at -12 or -12! Seems it don't matter what I set my sub to, it's either too weak to pick it up on mic or it blows it away and sets it at -12, guess I'm gonna have to manually play with this while again
-
It really don't sound bad as is but -12 seems like I'm taking away from something that could be so much better. I'm gonna rerun it at about 30% and see what I get
-
I'll start off by saying Happy New Year and I hope everybody had a great holiday!
Now my issue, I've been on vacation for 2 weeks and been playing with my AVR. Issue is no matter what I do audyssey sets my sub to -12, my settings on the sub is power at 50% and I've tried the gain at 50, 75, and 100 (dial wise) and it still sets it to -12? Anybody have any ideas?

I have heard that the Emotiva amps are rock solid, def an upgrade from what I purchased. Similar to Hutch, I have a youngster in the house and didn't want to invest in more than I needed. I wanted to hit that sweet spot of beginner pricing and quality. Now I just need to tweak the calibration - the bass is underwhelming on the slate floor in the finished basement at mid to high volumes. My guess is that I have the cross overs for the sub poorly set, going to spend time on Friday going through and re-calibrating. To be honest I ran audyssey on the fronts, sub, and center channel only so the system is far from fully calibrated and I have only put about an hour into it. Wont have time to setup the rest until the weekend.
Regarding Scrappy's comment on the xt audyssey, I also went with the x series just to get this as everywhere I was reading the same comments on how it was far superior to the E-series grade below. Hutch, I am interested in hearing your experience once you get fully setup.
And thanks for all the welcome greetings!
Sorry, I should've been clearer. I haven't yet moved. I'm still set up at my old home. I went with the X1000 over the X2000 just from scrappys suggestion and some forum surfing and realized the X1000 was better for my needs. I have a little hunger for some more bass and I have plenty of sub for what I want but just don't really want to tweak anything with it until we move cause it'll take me forever to hit that sweet spot. You'll enjoy the icons. I have and have decided to start throwing cash back towards a set of reference series. Plan is to have reference in the living room and move the icons to my game room when I'm finished
-
I have the exact same setup minus the sub, I went with the SW112 instead. Felt it was better for my needs. I love my setup, I could always upgrade but with a 2 1/2 year old I'm not trying to dump money in something that I can't get the full use out of it yet. The only difference between our setups is the sub and AVR. I went with the X1000 instead. Don't need the 7.1 and recently bought a new home and don't have room for 7.1. So far I like the Denon sound over the Yamaha but haven't set it oh at the new house just yet. Going from hardwood to carpeted floors so I'm sure it'll sound different

i think the playstation would rival any player as they are always praised as being the most versatile players for just about any kinds of discs and there are a lot of reviews out there saying that the oppo player is maybe a couple percent better than ps3. and oppo is about as good as it gets i think for most of us. now the ps4….havent read to much about it. saw something in my news feed about them already having hardware failures. but newsfeed is rarely a source of info for me. i like to read about new stuff over at ave. such a huge forum full of info. people just aren't as friendly as here.
The PS4 had about a .4% failure rate at launch. Several people complained about it but it the amount of units sold it wasn't bad. I would expect around 1% of units being defective when dealing with electronics. I'm sure the Xbox One will have the issues at launch as well. People who was reporting about the PS4 was pretty much leaned towards a bad HDMI slot saying it was either loose and wouldn't work or just wouldn't work at all
