Thinking about those who never made 17-21, or, like my Pappooh, never saw their grandchildren. Did get to wear his Sterling Silver Lieutenant & Captains Bars, though.

Good deal, nice price!

topping a very OLD thread to subscribe

read for yourself, it's implied by Dolby, but stated by Audyssey...monopoles work for both...

Gotta Black Heresy II comin' from uMay that will need refinishing. Plan to strip off & refinish. Easy Off Oven Cleaner will take off the old finish in a hurry. Be sure to use outside in a well ventilated area & use thick rubbers.
Unless the veneer is messed up underneath, I'll use Tung oil to refinish in natural colour.

After Katrina, I'll head north next time.

Remember, too, A-DSX and PLIIz have differ recommendations for types of Height speakers: A-DSX recommends Monopoles & PLIIz Surround type speakers. Audyssey sends Full Spectrum & NEAR Discrete material, while DolbyZ only Discrete.
Dolby does redirect Surround Back material from 7.1 Soundtracks, like Transformers Dark of the Moon (TrueHD 7.1) to the Height Speakers in PLIIz mode. Helps to have 7 year old boys; gives excuse to listen to these great soundtracks, like it & Cars2.

THANKS, everyone, for your input, keep it coming.
My dad taught me not to put all my eggs in 1 basket; if it goes out...
So some, or none, may be Klipsch, some, down the road maybe built by Moi, I plan on 4-6, 1 @ a time & in pairs; subject to change, of course, due to opportunities & the fact that my twin sons, Lee & Jackson, should be my grandsons & have grown rather fond of shoes, food, & trips to Floridays.
Plus, my room is rather large. Rearranging the gear resulted in much better TV picture, but effectively doubled the volume. Now I have to fill the den, kitchen, and part of the parlor, & oh yes, stairs from den to kitchen & bar area with sound.
Need to look into some retractable doors to close off some of this space.
Not a BASS head. I like it, but want to able to still hear in a few years. Although time around tanks, artillery & jet aircraft didn't help.
Thanks again, everyone for your kind input. Will try to measure room, so we have a better idea of how much space I want to fill.

there WAS a pic or 2 of the 5.2s in earlier ads

5.2s look nice; no photos of Chorus

If I can get 1 good sub, Klipsch, SVS, et Cerera, I'll move 1 cheapie up front & have 2 cheap Onkyo subs in the small parlor, which will be good enough, for that room, for now. Only time I ever spent money on a good sub, out went out 1 month out of warranty. I like Klipsch subs, from what I've heard, but the lack of warrantee concerns me at only 2 years.
So, want to buy 6, 1 at a time, would like at least have matching pairs, if not all.
But, *'s List & uMay keep getting my $, LoL!
-
perhaps, but I want at least 6...only have 2 cheapies now...

Twelve O'clock High

thank you, gentlemen, thank you!!!
I'm more than a bit careful about buying USED subs; they have to be inex...CHEAP, NO Warranty...

just picked up off uMay a single HERESY II (8 Ohm) to add to my other 2 HERESY IIs as CENTER Channels (3)...many thanks to previous discussions read here...
have 5 Heresy II on the front, along with kg3 as Height...
oh, yeah, you can SCRATCH ACADEMY from my wanted list... unless the deal is to good to pass...
-
We hooked up Wides, Heights and Surround Back to my Denon 3312 and found we like Heights (kg3) much better than either of the other; but, my den has tall vaulted ceilings.
Heights also allow you to use either Audyssey-DSX (A-DSX) or Dolby Pro Logic IIz (PLIIz). Which of those 2 sounds better varies by material.
I use an old AVR, digital, but not HDMI for Surround Back, Simulated Wides (Surround Feed) and 2 more Centers (Phantom).
Next week, we're going to hook up the Denon 3311 in the Parlor with 11.1, but, we think, because of small room size and 8 foot ceilings, Surround Back will probably sound best.

One FS locally, any ideas as to how much it might be worth?
A new one from an authorized dealer is about $230.
-
See my point about upgrade kits?
-
Earlier HIIs were marked 94dB Sensitivity & 4 Ohm, later 8 ohm.
Would love to know when the transition was. According to original cut sheets I have from circa 1990 they were 96 dB & 8 Ohm.
-
another SWEET deal
-
Didn't overlook that one, but, I didn't count it, either. In wall.
I notice Klipsch does NOT currently offer a SW in the Reference line...
The only Reference Series SW they offer is the RW-5802.

The shelf is a built in bookshelf, complete with wall. Yes, I've seen as many pics as I can find on the net, but none of the speaker connections.
Until I looked back at the CL ad, LoL. ;-)
