Inside the cave...

We are looking at something similar.

I had a chance to listen to the KEF R700 this morning. I think my Frankenstein RF7 is superior in every way.

That's good to know. I am still toying with the idea of keeping my RF7 as main.

More subs = wife will say I need to have my hearing check, father in law will bring his subs and add to whatever else that will go in, and won't go back home.
I think the hole is getting deeper by the post...no turning back now.

I am a big fan of more subwoofers. I want strong, not loud. Too many stuffs to buy so might not be able to start with more than 4. I am sure I can always add more down the road. We will be working on the interior design when we get a little closer to framing the house. Definitely no bare concrete floor and wall. It needs to look like a theater, not jail.

I was using:
L & R - Klipsch Frankenstein RF7 + JBL 2045 + JBL 076 + Lansing 077
Sub - RSW-15
Center - Klipsch Frankenstein C7 + JBL 076 + B&W CC6
Rear - couldn't remember what I had
Sub, L, and R were driven by SAE P500 amp
Center was driven by JBL 6290 amp
Rears were driven by JBL 6260 amp
I plan to use the above sub, L, and R for music only because I am extremely please with the sound. I want to start fresh with the theater; speakers and electronic. My knowledge is very limited and I am still trying to figure things out. Youthman's setup looks pretty awesome. So I figure that is a good starting point.

We are making progress slowly...too many building safety rules and regulations. The entire project probably won't be done until Summer of 2017.

The birth of an unexpected under ground theater. The dedicated theater will be approximately 16' x 22' x 9'. I have not decided on the equipment just yet. At this point, I am using Youthman's theater as a model, but definitely not with 4 subs.

It packs a lot of punch and sounds pretty good. It's driving a pair of these and the sub. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to compare it to.
-
Is there any love for the SAE P500 amp from the members of this community? I plan to use it for a pair of RF 7 as the main speakers, and RSW 15 sub.
-
I second Carbon Copy Cloner. I have been using it for the last 2 years and it has not let me down once. I have two Seagate external hard drives which I alternate.
-
I ended up with a pair of RF7 Black + JBL 076 tweeters for front, and RC7 + B&W CC6 + JBL 076 tweeters for center. The seller is lending me the Sunfire TGP II and some amps to test out those speakers. Looking forward to testing out the speakers.
Thanks again for the great suggestions.

I will keep reading this forum and draw on
others’ experience before making any move.
It took me a long time to save up for this project and doing it right is
a must. After I pulled the trigger, it
will be many more years before I can upgrade.
My kids will be going to college in a couple years and I know the old
man (that’s me by the way) will have to help out with the tuitions. Thank you once again for so many great
suggestions.My homework assignment for the next couple weeks is to visit a few shops and check out what they have in their showrooms.
-
I might be able to get my hands on a pair of almost new RF-7 floorstanding speakers. What do you guys think is a fair price for both seller and buyer?
-
Thank you so much everyone for your input. I will look into all the suggestions. Hopefully, I will have enough common sense and refrain from rushing into a quick purchase decision. It's a big investment for me.
-
$4,500 will be for the surround sound system (speakers, processors, amp, and so). I am in Pasadena, CA.

I am looking into a surround sound system that can
double as home audio system. The only
two items I already have are TV and Blu-Ray player. I am thinking of 2 RF-62 II floorstanding
speakers, 1 RC-62 center channel speaker, 2 RS-52 II surround speakers, and 1
SW-112 subwoofer. I have a max budget of
$4,500. Please help point me in the
right direction. Thanks.Bobc910
Under Ground Theater

We are going with 2 rows of seats. Either row of 3 or row of 4 seats. Of course, we want to max out on the screen because L,R,C, and some subwoofers will be behind the screen. If I have room in the budget for more subwoofers, they will go on both side of the wall. Surrounds will be mounted on the wall and ceiling.
