Positive on the no towers part? If I recall correctly these were barely 6" tall. Otherwise I'd assume you'd be going the route of a laptop like format.
ETA: There are also some really slick looking mini computers that are expandable that are no bigger than a router - I want to say Lenovo makes them.

Might see if you can find one of the old Compaq towers and piece together your own unit. Shouldn't be too expensive for what you need to do, and I bet you could find the casing for a couple of dollars.

Gorm, you're such a speaker hoarder.

These would be my excuse to remove the Jamo speakers from my house.

Yeah, I hear that. Hopefully the 3's are small enough for him to leave for someone else.

Right on, good to know I'm not the only one floating around in Eastern Iowa. If you don't take 'em I will!

Beat me to it Rock...you in the Quad Cities too?

I was never personally a fan of what they had to offer, but I haven't kept up with them since '03. Is this to replace your RX-A2030?

Isn't that name banned from the forum?

My understanding is that multiple sources out from a component not designed to have multiple outputs can hinder audio and visual quality. I remember distinctively reading that when I still had my Yamaha PS-DVD Changer - "Use either Component or Composite outputs" - same with audio.

So, I recently got ahold of an RC-3 II (finally) that simply is missing the Klipsch emblem from the speaker grill. Do I try my luck getting in touch with Klipsch to order a new emblem, or start seeing if I can find a replacement grill somewhere?
Who should I get in touch with on Klipsch's end?

im using hdmi out to projector, but optical out to amp. amp doesn't have hdmi yet.
Why wait... Just pull the optical cable and start using your HDMI cables... Unless you don't have HDMI..I learned something today then too. hdmi audio is better than optical. I currently run optical...until the next upgrade I guess...
You guys are the best....
Dude you need a new avr now! lol jk but HD audio on your rig will be a really nice upgrade. Get an avr with two hdmi outs. Run one to the projector and the other to what ever else you want.
I know I do too. lol
I'm working on it...planning on going up to a Marantz SR700X series.

If I was already working again...these would be gone already. Darn.
-
Good to know. Might just have been the receivers that I tried HDMI on. May end up dropping optics on my next setup then.
-
The bigger the tv the more it will pop out good or bad. How did you run your sound then?
Digital Optic I hope. I'm still not entirely sold that HDMI produces better audio than Optical.

Came across this on one of the Audiophile Facebook groups:
$38,000 for speaker wire. I can't believe some of the people swearing that it's worth that price - that they can tell it sounds $38,000 better. I'm trying to wrap my mind around how someone justifies the expense - regardless of how much their setup cost otherwise.

Did they ship well then? I was kind of irked that they might get crunched in transit.
Yes, they shipped very well. I told them I was a member of the Klipsch "forum."
Best take care of the pretzels sent to the Brotherhood of Klipsch.

Or both...or more....and then some. I feel so much better about myself suddenly...

I love how fast this topic turned audio-dirty.

I really felt the need to share this with all of you...
Strengths:
While operating no thief can get near it,for some dang reason women flock to it and sit indian style all around,hmm, wont hear the neighbors aggravating dogs anymore,ever, Electromagnetic pulses emitted syrf all stoplights,cell phones,pacemakers, and any competitors rides(so I will never be late for work,boss cant call me,inlaws die for no apparent reason,weird)
...
Strengths:
big...really help compensate for my lack of education, ability to read/write english
hold a job, vote or contribute to society in any meaningfull way...
Apparently there was so much bass that it made these people stupid.

We have a chemistry professor at school that is a total audio buff. He passed along those audiophile magazines to me all the time - I eventually just got into the habit of smiling and then leaving them behind. Was never much worth reading in them.

Ummm...I've been mentioning Reel-to-reel in almost all of my posts.
However, I'd agree...Vinyl is simple to store, but reel-to-reel is a pain.
What's Speaker Wire Worth to You?

I was thinking more along the lines of $0.80 a foot myself John!
