I was watching ghost world yesterday (great movie) and a couple of audiophiles were arguing over CD vs. vinyl. They mentioned a 'Klipsch 2B3' equalizer. I didn't think that Klipsch made/owned any equalizers and i'm assuming that they just made this up. Did anyone else notice this?

montigue, your system looks great. How does the pioneer sound for the SVS?

mace, I can hardly imagine cornwalls in the 9x13, but that sounds awesome. I got my RF-3II's in and love them. You're very right about buying for the future IMO; that's why I got em

montigue, actually, I have no SVS yet. I am planning on getting the 20-39CS though, and according to Tom, the amp should work well. I'll let you know how it sounds when I get my SVS.

Brian, nice review. what program did you use with your laptop for the frequency sweeps? Thanks.

Exoticar, Got my Marantz SR-5200 and Klipsch RF-3II's on wednesday. I love the speakers and the amp is great. Watch for a new thread from me on more detailed impressions of the receiver and speakers in this forum.

Dome, fortunately the dorm room is pretty large for a dorm room (19x12 feet), so I should have room for all the stuff. Marantz is known for their amps. Then again, there has been word of some problems with the latest line of their receivers, so Onkyo is probably a safer choice. You can bet that I'll post my impressions of the Marantz on this BB when I get it though.

vatican, Thanks for the heads up. I've read about this on htf and it worried me, but on the bright side, i'm getting it from a local authorized dealer so I can always take it back for something else. I hope it doesn't have any problems though.

no problem, I should also thank the guys at SVS for being so responsive; especially Tom who's been answering my emails. I hope you get your amp soon, I can only imagine what it'd be like to have an SVS just sitting there unpowered.

Exoticar: sorry, still waiting on delivery. But i'll let you know my impressions as soon as I get it.

I'm going to be using a Marantz SR-5200. You might consider it as well. I was also looking at the Onkyo 595 and Denon 2802, but the dealer swayed me towards the Marantz as a better value, which seems true at least on paper. I still think the Onkyo 595 is a very good receiver though. I'm going to Texas A&M; I'm actually still living in the dorm for another semester so the RF-3 II's may be a bit of overkill for a while . Do you have an apartment? sounddog, thanks for the info, this'll help me out as well.

The klh amp might be the R 3000 at best buy. It's a stereo receiver that I've seen for $100. I'm not sure because KLH's web site isn't very helpful. I just went with the plate amp since I don't see myself getting 2 SVS's anytime soon, but if I ever do have the money/need for a second SVS, I'm sure I can upgrade to the samson at the same time. By the way, the plate amp does have some exposed electronics so you'd probably want to build a small box for it. I'm going to build it into the back of an entertainment center that I'm building.

congratulations on getting the rf-3's. I'm in the exact same situation-still in college & getting a pair of rf-3ii's. I'm also waiting on the center and surrounds. What are you using to power these speakers?

vatican: No, actually i'm going to school in Texas. Right now i'm running on TV speakers . By the end of the week, i should have my Marantz sr-5200 & Klipsch RF-3II's in. Later I plan to add the rest of the Reference 3 line & the SVS 20-39CS when i get $$$$.
