    Umik1 - FOUND

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    EDIT:  Umik1 found

     

    WTB Umik1.  I want to get into the calibration game.  An equivalent Dayton Audio model will be considered.  You might even want to upgrade to the new and improved Umik2, I can help fund that purchase.

     

    If you have one you're not using let me know.  -Dave

    Klipsch Reference Premier Home Theatre Build - Suggest best receiver and Speakers to buy please

    Looking to build a very good movie theatre system with budget around $12,000. Please suggest a system for the same. 

     

    Thanks for the location info.  Let me suggest a couple of things.

     

    You said you have about $12K to spend.  You can get an excellent system for that much.  Is the $12K for audio only, or does that include upgrading the theater room treatments, seats, projector and screen?

     

    I saw you are considering the Denon 6700 and the Marantz 8015.  You really can't go wrong with either one, both are excellent from everything I've read or seen.  I have never heard either one, I own a Marantz SR-6011 with an external 5 channel amp, Emotiva XPA-5.

     

    Briefly, you probably want to consider the Klipsch RF series of speakers.  That is their flagship line.

    R= Entry level

    RP, Reference Premier = Mid tier

    RF  and the center RC-64 III = Flagship This has the best sound and furniture grade cabinets.  Made in Hope, Arkansas

    I'll stop here for the moment.  You will find others will give you suggestions as well.  We have really knowledgeable people on this forum.  The people who own this equipment, the AVR's that you are interested in, for instance are in the best position to guide you in that area.

     

    I would also suggest you talk with @Paducah Home Theater, Cory.  Or @Scrappydue, Steven, two good dudes.  They work  together and are a Klipsch dealer and they sell other stuff like AVR's.  They ship the big box speakers to you not with UPS Fed Ex etc, but with a carrier on a pallet for safe shipping. Their prices great and are regular members of this forum.  I have bought from them and their prices and service are the best I've seen.  They will sell to you, but they don't try to "sell you" something, if that makes any sense. 

    SPEC SHEETS

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    Welcome to the Klipsch forums!  Nice bike in your avatar, lots of us here are bike riders.

     

    The best way to get archival information from anything on the internet is something called the "wayback machine."  Klipsch used to have a lot more info on discontinued models with detailed info but they don't do that any more.

    +++

     

    When you say "spec sheets for discontinued models" exactly what info are you looking for?  Do you want XO points, the internal speaker driver model numbers?  Do you need specs for the XO's themselves?  Are you building the center channel from scratch? 

     

    I think the members here might be helpful to point you in the right direction in building that Heresy center.

    RP500M vs. RP600M

    I found a very good used pair (600M). Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Grab those 600M especially if you can get a good deal on them.  Add a little 100 wpc mini-amp and they go great anywhere.  Bedroom TV speakers, computer setup, etc.  I think you'll find a place for one of the best Klipsch speakers for-the-money in the current line up.

     

    I own the 600M.  I've not heard the 500M.

    Baylor playing well, Wisconsin seems slow. B1G isn't looking that great.

     Big 12 looked like gangbusters in the round of 64.  Round of 32...ka-boom!.  It now looks like 3 seed Kansas will be dust in the wind, down 20 in the second half to 6 seed SoCal and sinking fast.

    You might try Cory on here, he's a Klipsch dealer and takes care of us.

     

    A lot of us have bought from Cory, including me.  He started out like one of us, a regular contributor on this forum.  He then signed on with Klipsch as a dealer and his busines has just skyrocketed due to great customer service and better prices than you can find anywhere, local or online.  Highly recommended.

     

    Cory is located in Paducah, Kentucky and ships everywhere, safely.  To send him a PM, click on the link below.

    1972 La Scala's $2,300 - thoughts?

    Let me evaluate these in stock form then I'll consider the add-ons.

     

    1972 LS in Good condition average $1208.  I don't give it any greater value for the grills but since the Seller cut off the OEM grill I would deduct $100 from the average.  It's hard to see the condition because of lack of pics but I'll say these are in Good condition, as opposed to Average/Poor.  They have both Klipsch badges.  With OEM XO's I would knock off another $100, the cost of updating.  That puts these at $1000.

     

    Now for the interesting part.

     

    For a total of $1366:

     

    Crites A/4500 XO - $260

    Crites Type A XO $235

    Crites CT-120 - tweeters $240

    Crites K55-G Mid - $365

    Crites Woofers $266

    +++

     

    You could sell off the used stock parts to recoup part of your investment $325 rough estimate.

     

    K-77 Tweet pair - $75

    K55-V - pair $150

    Woofer - pair guessing $100.

    +++

     

    Bottom line:  A stock LS worth  $1000 with $1366 worth of add-ons is right on the asking price of $2300.  Sell off the Crites Type A and the OEM parts deduct $445.  That brings your total cost for an updated LS after sell-offs to $1855.

     

    The asking price of $2300 is not a crazy price as it looked at first glance.

    Help with new REFERENCE PREM Home theatre system set up, Receiver and Amp suggestion

    but here is the problem I am facing, I am only able to get one subwoofer work. Both the sub are not working at the same time. 
     

    what should I do, does my receiver support two subwoofer to work the same time ?

    No, your receiver does not support two subs from the back pre-outs.  It is a 7.1, so only 1 sub, but all is not lost.

    No, your receiver does not support two subs from the back pre-outs.  It is a 7.1, so only 1 sub is directly supported, but all is not lost.

    An RCA splitter will the job nicely.  The pre-out does not supply any power to the sub, just a sub woofer signal so this is the way to go. 

     

    This one on Amazon has good reviews, but do your own research and find the one that looks good to you and best fits your budget.  Don't go too cheap.
