  1. Hi all - I purchased some Heresy III’s from @McBlueMeter, who I can say has been nothing short of amazing throughout the whole process. He has been VERY communicative and upfront about the whole transaction. I would recommend him as a seller any day. I can’t wait to unbox them and getting them running. The Heresy II’s that @carlthess40 look beautiful and looked like they’re in really nice condition. I would have jumped on them but the Heresy IIIs were just too tempting. Thanks to everyone for your help and advice. Now to find a nice tube amp to pair with ‘em!!!!
  2. Hi all, I've been thinking about getting a pair of Heresy's for my turntable. Currently have some Wharfdale Denton's but want something a bit bigger. I'm in the Chicagoland area but would entertain shipping if it was reasonable. Let me know if you are selling or know of any that are available. Thanks!!!
  3. Thanks for the common sense!! I cannot wait for a new sub but I might as well wait until there is a decent price on a reasonable upgrade,
  4. Would anyone recommend the Reference 12d sub for $299 or wait for something better? I am not ready to upgrade to a state of the art system! BTW, thanks everyone for their advice!
  5. Thanks guys for your responses. I am glad you verify that upgrading the L, R and center were most important first. I do want to get a new sub but my wife will kill me. I did notice that newegg is having a sale on the reference 12" sub for $299. I want to pull the trigger but I am hopeful sales like that come around often, expecially on Newegg or that I will be able to find a used one when I am ready. Then, I will worry about the rears. As far as their mounting situation, the wire does in fact come out of the ceiling for the rears. The builder did not know what he was doing, only did it as a selling pont, I am sure. In fact, they sit pretty far back in prportion to the room and the quintets are definately not ideal for the room's set up. It would be difficult to re-wire or move their location, especially with my lack of handyman skills (although I did install a new light balest and fixture in our laundry room a few days ago, so kudos to me But you do think I will notice a difference? What about the Reference bookshelf speakers over the Synergy line of bookshelf speakers (same size)? Is there a noticable difference between those two lines of speakers??
  6. Hey everyone, I am new here so go easy!! I have a yamaha HTR-5063 receiver (7.1) and right now my rectangular family/media room is pre-wired for speakers (two in front, two in back (on ceiling). I initially bought a set of Quintet (latest model) and installed two in front on wall above TV, two in the rear on the ceiling (mounted hanging down), pointing towards the media center). I had (still have) the quintet center and a Klipsch Synergy SUB-10 Subwoofer. I previously ordered two additional Quintet bookshlef speakers hoping to try a 7.1 sound system, but wth the way the room is configured it really did not work with wiring, etc. I recently decided to upgrade from the Quintet series to some Reference line bookshelf speaks. I ordered (and pick up today) a pair of RB-51 II Reference Series Bookshelf speakers for the front left and rights to replace the existing Quintets (will not be mounted, just placed on my 8 foot console under my mounted 51" TV). I also ordered a Klipsch RC-42 II Reference Series Center to replace the Quintet center. So my set up, for now, will be: RB-51 II Reference Series Bookshelf speakers for FL and FR the Klipsch RC-42 II for the center, I'll stick with my Synergy SUB-10 for the sub for now and two of the Quintets mounted on the ceiling for my RL and RR surround speakers. My question is, will this system sound good? I know the primary speakers in the set up will be the RB-51 II's and the RC-42 II center and secondarily the Synergy SUB-10 for the sub. First, will I have any trouble with the fact that the RB-51 II's will be "bigger" and more powerful than the RC-42 II center? Will I get a good match (seeing that they are in the same line of speakers)? Any foreseeable timbre issues? Any particular setting you recommend given the size difference? Second, will my Syneryy sub "blend" in okay with the Reference set up I have? I have heard that subs can be mixed and matched (of course it is probably better to stick with one line consistantly, but I have what I have...) Lastly, I know the Quintets in the rear are a lot smaller and less powerful than the rest of the set up but I plan on cranking them up to get the most out of them until I can afford to upgrade. I would eventually like to get some Reference series floorstanding speakers for the front and move the RB-51 to the rear (mounted). Any suggestions, thoughts, issues, and especially receiver settings to make sure everything plays and sounds nice togetehr/ TIA!!! Matt (the Klipsch-lover but extreme newb!!!)
