I played around a lot with tone controls and the eq features of my avr for the first few months after purchasing my 7ii's. Initially I thought they sounded better with the bass bumped up and the highs reduced, but after a while I found that I preferred the sound when it runs in the receivers "direct" setting which is how it stays set now. I don't know if that is a result of me becoming more accustomed to the Klipsch sound or my speakers breaking in over a few months. I'm thinking that it may be my ears adjusting since I grew up with my dad's Bose 901's and apparently didn't know how music was supposed to sound.

I'm not familiar with Jamo so I don't know if this is a good deal, but it's probably a heck of a lot better than what you could get at Best Buy for $350. No affiliation. http://charlotte.craigslist.org/ele/4272526889.html

Are the reference speakers i's or ii's? I'd be interested in the rs-52's.

And some… Linn Ninka Floorstanding Speakers + Trikan Center Speaker - $500 (Dilworth) http://charlotte.craigslist.org/ele/4266282862.html I'm not affiliated with any of it…

He also has a… Integra Model DHC-402 Preamplifer - $600 (Dilworth)http://charlotte.craigslist.org/ele/4266266851.html

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/ele/4266237037.html Crazy good deal…pictures are a little fuzzy.

I stopped by Read Brothers about 1 year ago. They still sell audio gear out of a back room (you have to walk through their fabric store front end and be ushered to the back), but all they had hooked up to demo was a set of Maggies and didn't carry Klipsch.

Looks like the room has good corners....

Lots of aviation jobs in the Charleston, SC market lately with the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner factory.

He's got the specs of the RF-82 but a pic of the RF-82ii.

If it were my $$, I'd invest more on the fronts and less on the surrounds, especially if you think you might use the system to listen to music in 2-channel. Were you just trying to match woofer sizes with everything at 6"?

I've seen a number of reviews that refer to Emotiva amps as noisy. Are they a bad match for high sensitivity speakers?

Congrats on the new speakers and welcome to the forum! You can count on the guys around here to point you in the right direction. There's lots of good options on subwoofers as well if you haven't committed to the sub-12.

Short Bus Window Lickers

They may sound good but they sure are ugly.

A nice review of the Heresy III's was posted on CNET yesterday. Link is below: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57616164-47/dont-back-down-klipsch-heresy-iii-speakers/

Thanks for all the replies. The Outlaw 975 w/ 7125 amp deal is very tempting! I'd prefer not to use an AVR for the processor due to how much space they require vs. a dedicated processor and the aesthetic mismatch if the amp was a different brand. The Onkyo TX NR-1010 receiver linked above is about 8" tall while the Outlaw 975 processor is only about 3" tall. It would be nice however to make the switch to separates in two steps…buy the nice AVR now and then add an amp later…

Guys, I'm hoping to replace my little Marantz receiver with separates from either Emotiva or Outlaw Audio. I'm looking for your opinions on whether I should get the: Emotiva UMC-200 processer with a UPA-700 amp (7x80 watts) or the: Outlaw 975 processor with a 7075 amp (7x75 watts) My system is eventually going to move upstairs when we finish off the bonus room/home theater which will measure about 20'x20'x9' in size. I'm going to add surround (RS62ii's) and rear (RS81ii's) speakers at that time. Will I need more juice than 75-80 watts? I want to do this right this time so I only have to upgrade once. Thanks in advance for your advice. If all other things are equal i'll probably get the Outlaw combo since the amp is made in America. God bless and Merry Christmas!

Sweet room! Where do you hide the sub?

My room is about the same size. My sub is 600 watt, sealed, with a 12" driver. I would like to have more bass.

They're very sensitive cables...Most likely picking up interference from the actual solar wind. []

Wow, that is a bargain! I've been piecing my system together for the past two years. You're basically getting the surrounds for free and the sub half off. And that's if you were buying B-stock.

What a shitbag

This is messed up. I would have loved those speakers, but it just wasn't the right time financially so I posted them to the alerts section only now to see them go to a flipper.
