Right, I agree. I’m just saying getting better crossover components would make it sound just that much better and cleaner. And for changing the crossover that would be tricky. Exactly I like the way my speakers sound that’s why I’ve always loved klipsch and bought the rf7iii’s but I think there would be some room for improvement without completely ruining the klipsch sound. And yes I said to myself the same thing, not messing with any of that even if I do until warranty isn’t expired for sure. I’m starting to fall in love with these speakers. And the rc64iii sounds so good when playing in surround mode of all channel mode which I’m starting to like more and more the more I use it. It sounds better with certain songs and some songs sound better with just stereo. Depends what kind of mode I’m in you know. But the rc64iii is an absolute beast. Blends in perfectly with the rf7iii’s. Love it.
I watch many videos of Danny and he does a lot of good work.
I would be cautious about lining my whole cabinet with "HI Res"
I had a Pair of Polks "S60 Signatures" that had dead *** cabinets.
They didn't deliver the low end goods with the acoustic sounds I like
like a Klipsch does. It was Too Dead. Sold em. Glad I was able to get rid of them.
You could ruin the sound of your speakers by Overdamping.
That stuff is probably hard to remove if you make a mistake by using it.
Better think it over.

I just got a Very Nice AC Infinity Component Cooling System
and it looks nice on my Marantz. Running Cool Now.

Only the sub is wireless. I bought the receiver, just to try it. After messing with it and my dvd player for about 3 hours, I got it to actually play out of all the speakers properly.
My issue is this - I bought these speakers and the receiver, more than for anything else, so that I could hear the sound range of a theater. Did you see the Lord of the Rings in theaters? If so, you may recall how AMAZINGLY chilling the Ring Wraiths were. They had a scream that was so high pitch and terrible, it just scared people to hear it. On every home unit I have heard, it comes through like...well...nothing. Just another sound. It is not high frequency and doesn't cut across all the other sounds of the film, as it did in theaters. I played the scene with them just now and it was disappointing. They just sounded like one more sound in the movie, not some wretched creature that could grab you from your soul. I don't think this was a question of volume, but of range. Does this make any sense? If you had to guess, what am I missing here? Do you have to spend $5k per speaker and buy a $2k receiver to get that sort of effect? Or, is this just a consequence of DVD vs what theater's use as audio format?
Thanks.
You're OVER THINKING this thing.
Tell us what audio equipment you have.
Buy yourself a Denon if you need one at Accessories 4 less.
You only need to run two cables from your CD Player
and the denon will do the sound processing.
So quit being so vague about what you have.

Right, but I did see a budget b&w bookshelf speaker and they used higher grade stuff like air-core inductors only one sandcast resistor. Would love to get all higher grade components in the crossover and see what it would sound like in my klipsch. Also would love to line the walls with some no-res.
Do What you think is best.
I like the way my speakers sound.
My cabinets are damped good enough to
present bass notes and sounds in a Klipsch Sound.
If I didn't like The Klipsch Sound I would have bought different speakers.
I agree ALL Speakers Companies could use better crossovers.
I'm not touching mine until the warranty expires.

We're watching a 4K movie,
"The House with A Clock in it's Walls"
with Jack Black,
No Sound Processing.
It sounds awesome.
I'm gonna keep it this way.

Right I’ve being watching some videos of gr research and he really makes some amazing content and some really informative stuff. Especially about klipsch speakers and the capacitors they use for the crossover and whatnot. Very interesting and intriguing. Would love to know what my RF-7III’s would sound like with some high quality components and some air core inductors and poly caps and without all the sand-cast resistors, which I’m guessing is what it has a lot of in it. Wonder how much of a difference it would make audibly.
Klipsch Crossovers are built like 99.9% of all speakers you can buy.
Very few manufacturers use Real High Quality Products.

I reset my Marantz late last night.
Too late to run the Audyssey Program.
Gee, I think my speakers sound better without this.
I have a mixture of soft & hard surfaces in the room
so it seems to be OK as far as I'm concerned.
Without the Audyssey, the highs and bass are much cleaner.
I also think the dynamics are better.
I'm using no tone controls at all.
These 5 speakers are Rocking Baby.

I'm finding electronics to be in Short Supply.
I went to buy a printer and it's tough because inventory is dried up.

I'm using a very nice 12G for the fronts
I'm using 18G for surrounds running under rugs.
I was just going to get a good 16G all round and call it a day
so I do not feel wires so much under foot from the 12G.
For right now I'll go with what I have and install my
new Crutchfield BP's on them.
The Crutchfield Plugs are better than what I'm using.

Getting our New Marantz tomorrow,
Adding a 4K TV and Monoprice Cables.
Didn't buy Monoprice Speaker wire
was just gonna use what I have.
BUT I decided to shop ( in my area ) for speaker wire.
The only thing available is Copper Coated Aluminium.
Spools of Speaker Wire at Lowes & Home Depot are CCA.
I did order some from Amazon but they couldn't get it in a box within 48 Hours to ship.
I guess I could check in our "Capital City", Population almost 50,000.
They might have real speaker wire there but I'd have to drive to get it.

I have a Marantz AVR that came as part of a package deal with my RF7-IIs and RC-64II. Its OK but no regular FM tuner only HD. Currently I am using the pre outs for the front 3 going to an Emotiva 3 channel power amp. This saves the AVRs power for the surrounds and rear surrounds.
I went with a Marantz 5013 from Accessories4Less
The "newer" 5014 seemed to be having HDMI Issues
so for 50 bucks less I hope I won't get issues.
Now I'll have pre outs for Expansion

Maybe there is a Traffic Jam

So what source is going to go into the power amp?
I was thinking of buying a Marantz AVR
Do you know anything about these with Klipsch?

@rebuy So the preamp out on your AVR still works? Just the power section went out? I and others just want clarification.
I have 2 AVR's and neither have Pre outs
I'm gonna start all over for Amplification.
I think the HDMI Boards on my H-K are going bad
as I have skips on sound programs with my Cable
or it's their signals.
I never had those sound issues on the Denon

I've decided to go with Crown Core 2
Thanks anyways

Since my AVR crapped out, I'm really considering a Power Amp.
On the Low end side is the Emotiva BasX 5 Channel Amp.
Thinking this might be better than a Marantz AVR for
Power & Headroom and just better sound.
Or if I spend 200 more I could get an Outlaw.
I need a little advice.

Is this your "First Time" buying electronics?
Sometimes you get items that have problems
even right out of the box.
You need to return this item. Go to Wal-Mart
and get something there where they have
EASY RETURNS.
You'll be a Happy Guy

You might be OK if you don't make Newsome Mad.
