    Congrats.   What do you think in comparison? 

    Honestly I think they are pretty close. It all depends on your ears. I went back and forth for a long time between the 2. The 396s are brighter sounding but the CF-4s have a fuller sound that I can’t explain. The CF-4s alone dig deeper but with a sub it’s a toss up. It all depends on your application. 

  2. Hi Everyone, 

    I recently purchased 3 KI-396-SMA-IIs for my front stage of my home theater. They are behind a 135" 16X9 acoustically transparent screen. They are being fed by my Pioneer Elite SC-LX801 receiver that is acting as the preamp and fed into my Monoprice Monolith 7 channel amp. They are being run as small and crossed over at 80hz to my 2 R115 SWs. I tried running MCACC and that royally screwed up the EQ. I have tried running them flat with no EQ (too bright sounding) and I have also turned down 2khz and 4khz -5db as well as 8 down -2db and 16 down -2db. This has provided the best results so far but there is still what my brother would refer to as "sizzle" to the top end. Is there anything else I can try? At this point I am thinking it may be my receiver that is bright sounding since when I tried these in stereo with my tube separates they sounded great. Any input would be appreciated. 

  3. Wrap the top and bottom in movers plastic to avoid catching any of the veneer on anything and then place them face down in the back of your vehicle on top of a foam mattress topper. Pack around them with blankets and pillows so they don't move around. Move 1 at a time. Don't try and move both together. You are only asking for damage.

  4. Has anyone heard these? Any thoughts on them? I'm considering these for a home theater. 

    Overall, I like the 12" depth and the fact that Klipsch says they have the same response as the 904s.

  5. Sw311 doesn’t power on. I found a piece rattling inside when I received it as part of a package. If you can fix it make me an offer plus shipping if you are interested. I have the setup mic too. I am in Southbury, ct if you want to pick it up

  6. Music Hall CD 25.2 with original box, manual, and power cord. This thing is built like a tank. There are a few marks on top from the feet of the last components to sit on top, but overall in very nice shape.  The remote is also a little sticky on the back (old plastic) but works great. . SOLD

  7. The ad says they are in a dry basement..... Look at the bottoms carefully, they have picked up quite a bit of moisture. Not to mention the visible mouse droppings in top horns section. I wonder who is living inside.
