I posted last year at this time as I was looking to sell my entire XL surround system. However, I was able to wire the fronts, center and reuse my subwoofer. The speakers and stands have been sitting in a closet collecting dust. If interested shoot me a message I am located in Raleigh NC and would like to see these go to someone who will appreciate them.

Okay - so I finally have it tuned - under calibration on the receiver is engineered and front reference. Selected front reference and it sounds great. I have watched two movies and two concert BluRays over the past week and they all sounded amazing

Hey Billybob The receiver is a piece of crap Sony - 770 model - it doesn't have 1/10th the sound fields as my old one. I think I found the issue last night. When I did the calibration I set it to engineered - changing to to front reference yielded much better results. I am still dialing it in but getting closer. The sub is a Klipsch XW-500D.

I have am running Klipsch XL-23's as front and center speakers, Klipsch RIC-65 for rear ceiling mounts and have an XW-500D Subwoofer. In my last house it took me about a week to dial it in. However, when we moved I didn't write any of the settings down. I have spent about 6 hours playing around with it and can't figure out what settings I should use with my receiver. Should I set the XL-23's to small or larger - if small what crossover should I set on the sub and receiver. Also the sub volume goes from -38 to +10 - currently I have it set at -6 and it still has too much base for music and not enough for movies - I also have the sub set to +2 db on the receiver. I have tried the automatic calibration but is sounds like crap. I have now had this same setup in 3 houses and this is the most trouble I have had setting it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Glad I reused my old setup - watched a movie last night and it sounded amazing - still trying to dial in the subwoofer. I wish I had written down the sub and receiver settings before moving

Here's what the fronts and center look like... I am putting in the rear ceiling mounts today...

I couldn't bring myself to buy a soundbar as they don't sound as good as components. I ended up snaking wire for the fronts and center to reuse my XL-23's and sub.. I bought a pair of ceiling mount Klipsch for the rear. So I have a set of XL-12's and stands for sale - shoot me an offer - the stands are heavy and will cost a fortune to ship

Yes - we have already moved. So the speakers are in NC if interested

Yeah - it kills me but the wife refuse to let me drill into the mantel.. I also have to have someone come out and fix the mess the last owner did of running cables through the wall - the HDMI and power cord are still on top of the gas fireplace venting - don't feel real safe with that

I am getting ready to list these on ebay. I attempted to install yesterday and the room just isn't setup for it. The mantel on the TV is 5 feet high - with a 65" tv there is no room underneath for a speaker unless I want the TV touching the ceiling. This stinks because it took me forever to get the right setup for my last house. So I will be listing 3 XL-23's, 2 XL-12's, X500WD Subwoofer and 1 pair of XFS stands

Thanks for your feedback guys... These looked and sounded awesome in my old house. The problem is the new house has speaker mounts in the ceiling for rear speakers and the XL12's are too big. Also there isn't enough space under the TV or over the fire place for the XL 23. If anyone is interested shoot me a message. I prefer someone in the NC areas as these would cost a fortune to ship

I love this setup - just no place in the new house

Thanks Billybob - Everything is in great condition. However, I am missing the stands for the XL-23's - I had them wall mounted. Everything else looks new

We are in the process of moving from Fort Myers Florida to Raleigh NC. I just took down my surround system which consisted of 3 XL-23's, 2 XL-12's, X500WD Subwoofer and 1 pair of XFS stands. Unfortunately the new house isn't wired for surround and there is no where to install it. Just curious what a good selling price would be

Thanks Bill
