Nearly any type. I left it rather open. If I had to leave stuff out; no death metal, no polka, and sorry to anyone offended, but no Christian anything. I love God and all, but the music stinks. Sorry

Hello all, Looking for a bit of advice for some high quality recordings I can get on vinyl. I have access here in central Minnesota to some great sources for good vinyl. I really want to use my system for more than just movies and games. I got a great Marantz turntable and really want to use my RP-280f and my receiver for quality recordings. My knowledge is sorely lacking about quality musical recordings. I just know that the original recording must be of high quality for anything made from it to sound any good. I do listen and enjoy a wide range of music. If anyone is willing to pass on some suggestions or thoughts, I am open to many musical offerings the world has to offer. Along with your feedback, anyone is welcome to leave opinions of their recommendations and such. Thank you all in advance for any help you may send.

Thanks both of you! I ran it hard solo for a couple movies, and such. Going to use both of your suggestions. Just play and go and listen and love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geezus!!!! I thought I had seen some night home theaters. And I have. But this one, holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!! I really need a winning lotto ticket. Thank you for posting this. It was an amazing read.

Hey all! Hope the Community has been doing well! Say, I just picked up a second R-115SW. In my signature my current setup is listed. How long should I break-in my new sub before using it with the other one? If at all... My current one has a about 1000 hours on it and working perfectly. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks all!

Burn a little white sage to get the creepy voodoo and ju ju to go away! LOL

Hey all! I found this on the Wall Street Journal. The Japanese culture takes 'audiophile' to a whole new level. Let me know what you think. Don't want to get in trouble, so I cited the author and source at the top. Power trip: Japanese audiophiles go to extremes for pure energy By Juro Osawa - MarketWatch - Sunday, August 14, 2016 Article published on The Wall Street Journal www.WSJ.com TOKYO — Takeo Morita wanted absolutely the best fidelity possible from his audio system, so he bought a utility pole. The 82-year-old lawyer already had a $60,000 American-made amplifier, 1960s German loudspeakers that once belonged to a theater, Japanese audio cables threaded with gold and silver, and other pricey equipment. Normal electricity just wouldn’t do anymore. To tap into what Morita calls “pure” power, he paid $10,000 to plant a 40-foot-tall concrete pole in his front yard. On it perches his own personal transformer — that thing shaped like a cylindrical metal garbage can — which feeds power more directly from the grid. “Electricity is like blood. If it is tainted, the whole body will get sick,” says Morita. “No matter how expensive the audio equipment is, it will be no good if the blood is bad.” Demonstrating his power’s purity, he mounts a turntable with a vinyl record of Queen’s “I’m in Love With My Car,” settles into his sofa and beams. Pre-pole, he says, the vocals didn’t sound as lively as this. “Now, it feels like Queen is in this room, just for me.” Audiophiles everywhere are an obsessive breed, but few exhibit such perfectionism as Japanese stereo fanatics. They not only spend fortunes on amps and speakers but also insist an exclusive power supply is a crucial upgrade. A private line, they say, eliminates electrical interference that comes from sharing a public pole with neighbors whose gadgets can create “noise” that make subtle notes inaudible and the overall sound flatter. Once one has a personal tower of power, “the music melts into the air of the room,” says Sumio Shimamoto, president of Izumi Denki Corp., which installed Morita’s pole and has erected about 40 more across Japan over the past decade. “Japanese audiophiles pursue it with a great deal of diligence,” says Joe Cohen, president of Lotus Group, a California-based distributor of high-end audio equipment. “They adopt the cause and sacrifice everything for it.” There’s a debate among audio enthusiasts about whether personal poles make any meaningful difference. Audiophiles, though, “live in a kind of no-compromises world,” says Mark Bocko, director of the audio and music engineering program at the University of Rochester. “Electromagnetic interference from appliances being used by neighbors could propagate through a shared transformer and have an audible effect. That’s not an unreasonable thing.”

Great to hear. I am late in responding, but I have the SC-91 and love it to death. Glad to hear your Pioneer experience is great as well. Everything from my Elite is crisp and clear. Makes my Reference Premiere system sound great!!!!!!!!!!!! Thumbsup!

HAHAHA!!! Pun intended. LOL

All I can say is, Stan Lee (the founder of Marvel Comics and most of it's characters...for those who don't know) as a DJ in a questionable place saying questionable things. The End. LOL

Hey all, I am late to the debate. Lots of good tips in here. May I recommend Native DSD. One must have a pretty good DAC in order to use most of the DSD/DXD content, but they are committed to preserving quality. Not using methods to enhance something. We all have good ideas I think. Perhaps someone other than me has used this nativedsd.com

My condolences to all. The legacy left behind is more than just a legacy of sound. ***All of us here are the continuing legacy. Some of us have met, built friendships starting around the Klipsch brand. Bonds have been formed.*** Respect and love to all

I am such a child. In preparation for the upcoming Batman V Superman movie this Thursday, I picked up a Superman Under Armor shirt, a hoodie with a cape, and socks with little capes on them. Oh man...The nerd in me is coming out strong today!

Thanks for the PM my good man. You are in for a treat. I spent some time finding good audio options for when your receiver arrives and you get setup. PM so I can share some insight. SO MANY CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Good advice from both Teaman and wvu80. I won't over post, let's just say I am a receiver user with a Pioneer SC-91 ($1000). You could spend little more than half that and get great sound out of a good Denon or Pioneer. I have experience with both. I also own the new and moderately large RP-280F's from Klipsch among other speakers. My rated Watts per Channel is 130, which any company is at 2 channels driven, not the 7 my setup supports...and I use. Teaman is right, Emotiva is great bang for buck. wvu80 is right too, look at your budget, check used. Although there are always some exceptions, home theater components should have a great life expectancy. It's one of those things where you should look at budget, and review your expectations. The real lesson I have learned being a member of this awesome community is that ultimately, your ears and eyes are the real judge of what works for you. Many of the members in this community have helped shape my system by offering the best advice, but ultimately, I made it my own...on my own. At the risk of sounding like a hypocrite and sending a bit of science...when looking at power or watts per channel, higher number doesn't mean much of anything. A low .0-something decimal THD or total harmonic distortion is a good number to look at. Lower, the better. However, this matters more if you are really looking to blast your source material and the quality of the original source material. Clean power = better. Have fun building a great system!!!

Oh haha! You are cool Ceptorman...but not cool enough for a free sub. I have the "Grille of Shame" covering the imperfection.

I am soooooo mad guys and gals. Some of you have followed my recent build over the last 6 months. I am so proud to be a part of the community here and share in our passion...and obsession with Klipsch...and all things audio. So, I don't keep my speaker grills on, cause I want everyone to know what brand is hurting their ears. Well, foolish me, my wife's cat, declawed thank god...put a small dent in my new R-115SW. A DENT!!!! It is tiny. When I say tiny, I mean slightly less than half the size of the head of a Q-Tip. And it is NOT a hold. Very small dent. It doesn't affect the sound quality or anything technical. The point is, I can see it! My beautiful Klipsch has a battle scar. Ugh, just needed a thread to vent. Sub works fine. Didn't take any hard hits. It just isn't perfect and now wears the "Grille of Shame" Please send me condolences and such. Feel my pain. Luv, Tom. P.S. I really am okay, just annoyed.

Not yet. Very new to the sound format. It is on my current list of stuff to try, that and Multi-Channel DXD which I just found out my Elite can decode. Luckily the Sabre DAC is good in the Elite, so I can try these things. My old Denon would have died trying. I will respond with feedback on PCM when I try later tonight.

Oh my goodness. So, I decided to see what's up with the DSD formats. Using my newer Reference Premiere 280's and the DSD 128 format, I discovered that digital sound is really making strides! Now, my SC-91 Elite Receiver is capable of decoding DSD 256, however, I must research to see if it can do DXD. I understand high bit-rate does not necessarily = better sound. But, I am a vinyl listener too. And this DSD format is as close as I have come to true analog fidelity thus far. Using Beethoven's Symphony #5, I felt as though I was at the performance. And this was 2-channel listening. Oh my! I can't wait to test multi-channel. We shall see! Praise be to Klipsch for excellent quality sound!

Expand my vinyl listening. As some of you know, I greatly expanded my system this last year, now it's time to stretch it's legs and use the great potential of KLIPSCH!

I have a step down from that...SC-91. I use Atmos. Love the hell out of this receiver. Sabre DAC keeps all my vinyl and Flac clean as hell.

Hey Klipsch forum!!! Thought I would give more detailed impressions after spending 6 months with my new Reference Premiere RP 280F's, and the 160M's. In a nutshell, extremely impressive. I was concerned with the load on the new horn tweeter...having to handle everything from 1500Hz and up. Fears set aside!!! The clarity rivals speakers costing much more, and in true Klipsch form, the are capable of giving a rock concert live volume to everything from music to movies. In theater applications, I will say this...they offer fantastic separation and detail when acting in theater capacity. If a sound/noise comes from left channel 3 feet from center, the sound reproduced is natural and clear. One could almost lose sight of the fact they are in a living room and not in the movie itself. Same to be said of the 160Ms. I chose to use these for surround instead of the bi-polar options. I wanted the extra oommmph. With new sale pricing and such, I hope others choose the Reference Series for it's capability and power. See you all in the FORUM!

Ick.....just ick

Sure you don't mean Orange Crush? Brown ribbed bottle and it actually had some pulp in it. Man, so good. Modern stuff is just chemical orange in soda water. Dave Glad you said that. I thought it was just me after I drank some a few months back and almost gagged. Hey guys, there is a good fallback. I would try Orangina. It has pulp and cane sugar...at least the U.K. version I get in my local store does. I recommend.
