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 $$$$. -
montigue, sorry for the delay. I just got that amplifier I linked to today. If you order one make sure that you ask them to dissable the bass boost.
-
good deal. I'm going for the svs as well. I've already gotten a plate sub amp from www.partsexpress.com so I don't have to get the expensive samson amp. Only difference being that I want the 20-39CS.
-
Also the II's are internally wired with monster cable.
-
Thanks for the review, jim. Extremely helpful since we can't listen to this unit like the one's they sell in stores.
-
great, you're planning on attending as well, no?
Do you go to the Audio Video store on university? I just ordered a pair of RF-3II's from them, and I can't wait til they come in.
-
I've got a step up transformer as well, but those things get hot. Don't know if I'd be willing to rely on one for my reciever, but then again I suppose it depends on the quality of the transformer.
exoticar: I can't believe that they regulate that now. Admittedly, I haven't been since 1997 (was there during the changeover). I'd like to go back; good place to visit--software or no software

This is a bit OT, but
Justin_tx_16, do you go to the Bryan/ College Station area much? Just wondering because I go to school there and it's nice to hear from local Klipsch fans.
-
great! I'll be looking forward to your review of the SV sub. As for an amp, I ordered one of the plate sub amps from partsexpress.com -- http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showprod.cfm?&DID=7&CATID=43&ObjectGroup_ID=505
Hope you enjoy the sub.

Exoticar & Vatican3:
I'm in a similar situation, finals are over on the 12th & i'm getting HT soon. Actually i've already got RF-3's and a Marantz SR-5200 on the way. Exoticar: I'll let you know how I like the Marantz when I get it. The dealers really like the current Marantz line. They are a great value on paper at least compared to Onkyo & Denon, but I'll see how it performs.
Vatican3: I've been to Hong Kong quite a few times, and although it's a great place to get software *grin* , I it's possible to find quality audio hardware cheaper than you can here. I could be wrong tho.

badbob,
if you go back to the site, click 'home audio in the left column & then go to 'plate sub amplifiers' under the Home Theatre section. That'll give you a choice of four plate subs amps. Btw, I meant to say plate sub amp in my last post; these are just amplifiers that fit in a plate, so they can be attached to a subwoofer
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.

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?
