Is anyone familiar w/ Infinity center channels? Enough to venture a guess as to which center channel the image below is? Specifically, I am wondering about its size and its audio quality for an intended use: as a center channel in a bedroom, where it is to replace TV speakers, and be the ONLY speaker for both the TV and non-critical music listening. The height of the desired center is important because the higher it is, likely indicates larger woofers, and they are more likely to get down to the 50 Hz or below level that I would like, because it will be the only speaker. However, height also gets in the way of viewing the entire screen, too, so it is a balancing act. Thank you for any help! Anyway, the only available info on the center channel, outside of the 2 photos, is the owner's statement: "It's black, 18" tall & 7" wide. "

Jaizen, PM sent. I live just west of St. Louis.

Happy for you both!

"What's after 4k?? I mean holy cow 7.1 is plenty for surround sound. We need heights? Wides? Atmos?? Insanity I tell you."-- Scrappy Times 2! or 10! I suppose it gives some people something to talk about (especially after a few beers--or better yet, some good bourbon), but whatever happened to being delighted with what is SUPERB already? Not to dampen innovation, but what about our hearts, minds, and lives that we often devote so much time and effort and MONEY to something that will only be overtaken a few years later? And induce the very same dissatisfaction and longing for yet another thing that we must have to be happy? The thing that we just had to have a few years ago no longer makes us happy, but this latest and greatest will? The truth is that aesthetic excellence and beauty ARE delightful to those who appreciate them. But better that they be understood and enjoyed, rather than simply instigating dissatisfaction and becoming a burr under the saddle . . . . My thoughts anyway, as I am so grateful to God that He has given me the opportunities to have what I do--modest by many here--and revel in the wonderful pleasure they provide me.

Darn, Matt, you are a busy lad!!!

oldred, Where in IL are you?

Love Ry Cooder! You have to listen to his "Jesus on the Main Line". And of course, the absolute classic hit, theme from "Southern Comfort". What great music. Imagine, back in the day when they had posters at the entrance to movies, showing representations of scenes in a movie. In this case, a Louisiana bayou, with large trees, wispy Spanish moss hanging down, and uniformed National Guardsmen (or Army Reserve--don't remember) on weekend maneuvers, sloshing, slogging through. The phrase at the bottom of the poster: "The South is a great place to be. Unless you don't belong . . . ." Actors: Keith Carradine, Powers Boothe, Peter Coyote, Fred Ward. Heckuva movie!!! I remember one of the early scenes, groundwork being laid as Keith Carradine (LA National Guard) was meeting Powers Boothe (Texas NG on temporary duty assignment). Boothe (from Texas, and continuing a natural "rivalry") commenting on what he surmised was a boring lifestyle of Carradine (and his brethren in LA). Carradine responded something like, "Yeah, I sit around and drink R C Colas and eat moon pies, but I have a good time." The funny thing: That almost exactly mirrored my Louisiana bro-in-law, who at all times kept a 1/2 gal box of malt balls in the refrigerator to accompany his R C cola beverage. The writer knew his subject matter, shall I say?

You will post your thoughts about any difference/results, right?

Aren't you glad that ALL the good ones don't die early?! Happy Birthday to my Klipsch forum friend.

Yes & no. Tchaikovsky was indeed a composer of classical music, during the late "Romantic" period, not of the "Classical" period.

To anyone thinking of purchasing: I recently met Matt in a transaction. An honest, straight-forward man. If he says his eqpt. is in superb shape, it is in superb shape! Superb equipment at a great price usually does not last too long . . . "just sayin' ".

Bet you love it! That's my setup, too. Sounds soooo rich and good!

Hey, Sancho, you have to be a "certain age" to remember/refer to it as the "Air Corps". I did buy some Klipsch and other gear recently from a gentleman who got his start in the Army Air Corps, and then spent about 30 years deciding if he liked it enough to make it a career. In his 70s now, and still qualified to fly a variety of different fixed-wing craft.

"Taps, taps, lights out! All hands turn into your bunks! Maintain silence about the decks! The smoking lamp is out in all berthing spaces.and maintain silence about the decks. Now taps." Ready for a little rack time.

Ship ahoy, mate! The first amphib I was on had a reinforced bow for duty in the Antarctic. Good thing, too, as it became stuck for 2 whole days, backing and filling, before finally being able to break free of the grip of an ice floe.

Hey, Stew, when were you in? Me? 1968 - 1973. Actually lived in S.F. for a year, 1961-1962, on the Presidio (big Army base, at the southern foot of the Golden Gate Bridge), as my dad was a Captain in the Navy. Went to Alameda all the time, and Treasure Island, too. I remember arriving at the Alameda Naval Air Station as a dependent (dad was a Captain then), and because of his senior rank, he was given "Senior Officers Quarters" for the 5 in the family. The "Senior Officers" part consisted of the 2nd half of a quonset hut! Those too young to know, a quonset hut is what you see in many old WWII movies, a corrugated tin can cut vertically, in half. Being senior, he rated both halves of one half of the tin can. Boy, that's going back a few years!

Oh, yeah, I remember at Navy OCS, going into the brick building with an oil fire down in the hold. We had to go in (can't remember if we wore masks or not), with 3" hoses (does, "Prepare to gooseneck, GOOSENECK!" strike a note with anyone out there?), and put it out. I remember black particles coming out of my nose and lungs for weeks following. Before the days of waving a blue card and getting excused for "menstrual cramps" or something (wait. . . that was Army).

you can’t put me in a box. Oh, I don't know. When I am called home, am thinking about having my wife stuff me into one of my KLF-30 cabinets, and push it into the Mississippi River, to wend its way to the sea, or wherever it goes--kind of like Moses in the reed basket.

True story: I remember a few years ago, approaching my car in a parking lot. Noticed a large, older car, driven by a large, older gentleman, s_l_o_w_l_y turning into the parking space next to my car, so I waited astern (Navy talk for in back of) of my car, to give him plenty of room, and not to appear to be hurrying him. Finally, he completed the positioning, and began the process of door opening, swinging his feet out, onto the ground, etc. At that point he noticed me and attempted to "hurry". Apologetically, as he succeeded in getting out and closing his door, he looked at me and said, "You know, I am 96. And I 'recently' discovered that I do not move as fast as I used to'." I assured him that I understood completely . . . .

How does the line go with one's children? Something like, "Be patient explaining all these new AV / Computer (fill in the blank) capabilities to me. Remember . . . I am the one who taught you how to use a spoon!"

Exactly! You have learned to want what you have, not to have what you want--because that is likely to change many times. My question is why it so often takes a long time to acquire such wisdom? Oh well, guess that answer will become known too . . . . Meanwhile, Matt, will send you a file by PM that I was listening to last night. You may enjoy opening the 30s up a bit . . . .

Hmmm, Matt, seems like we may have a sweet spot with our 30s, right? Of course, my 20s as surrounds, and my 10s downstairs in my office are not bad. Actually, the 10s are overkill in my office, and are to be sold . . . .

Matt, am so glad you are home now, have them hooked up, and are enjoying! You got a heckuva deal, and the seller was pleased, too. Doesn't get better than that. Well, that and the two wonderful Shepherds you have assigned guard duty! Thanks for the kind words, fellas!
