  1. My personal favorite is Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
  2. Even though I'm sure many here can answer I would actually pose the question directly to Klipsch themselves, and see if their customer service or engineer team can give you direction on what the original design intended and can do with these.
  3. Thank you for sharing. People that share themselves find the love or salvation they need by guiding others....nicely done.
  4. Very exciting....incredible design and imstall.....great job WJ and YM. Only thing left is to use it!
  5. For resale value i would want an original amp personally.
  6. FIZ maybe send them a note first.
  7. On ebay search for klipsch rsw amp. They offer an amp repair service for around 200 including shipping. One idea.
  8. It will be just fine. If you crank it up and feel you need more than you need a new receiver. My guess is you never need to upgrade.
  9. I was lucky enough to have a forum member come over and show me a basic measurement and response curve. You need a good quality measuring device. In a thread over in home theater, I started one asking what device to use. If I had seen your thread I would have just asked in here as it's basically a similar question. When you are into good sound but not necessarily a techie about it, the hestitation comes from how far you want to go with this stuff, how much time and money. For under $100, you can get a UMIK-1, as suggested in the other thread, or Omnimic, which was shown to me and was terrific (both are known to be very good). You can use your cell phone or a cheap meter, but Chris A made the point that where you really want to measure (at the low end), it doesn't do so well. So, do you take the plunge and spend $100 bucks to be able to measure your room? I would say yes, if you really want to know, or if you have the ability to move the sub around or your listening position. Because then, you are able to affect the response a great deal that way. Otherwise, you are just curious about what it really does...in that case I might not bother to measure.
  10. I did some considerable research myself and found a site that I thought was pretty much spot on. You likely found it, I'll link to it at the end here. Today without a doubt, Samsung makes the best TVs. There's really no arguing, but their high end ones will cost you a lot. Vizio is now one of the bettere makes. When I ordered mine, it came during the week of black friday, and it came damaged, the screen was cracked, big jagged line when turned on. Replaced TV, works just fine, it's still the first year but never an issue so far. 1) Samsung makes the best TVs. 2) Buying a Samsung low end TV is not necessarily better than a Vizio or other brand. 3) 4K TV is a different step up. I will argue that a decent 4K TV will always look sharper than most any 1080TV. 4) With that said, the richness of color, motion flow and other issues are also important. Sharpness is key but is there with most every 4k TV. M Panasonic looks nicer than my Vizio, but the Vizio is far sharper. 5) To get the most of any TV, you NEED (not want) a calibration disc. Borrow one, buy one, whatever, but they make a HUGE difference. 10 minutes to perform. 6) With TVs, at any given time, there is a price/size ratio where the limit is reached and the cost skyrockets. A while back a 42" TV was big, and costly. Today you can get up to about 60" or 65" at a very low price, after which the cost skyrockets. Another couple years 70" sets will all be cheap. 7) When looking at reviews, focus on the weaknesses of a particular TV, and decide which weaknesses you like best. It's a far better way to buy a TV than to look for what features you want. For example, Vizio is known to have some color fadeout as you move to the sides. My mom, for example, remarked about this on hers comparing it to her Samsung. However, I have one, and have no issues with it. She was watching from a very side angle to see it from the kitchen. The ability to process motion is probably the most important thing in a set besides color quality. The site for TV reviews that gets it exactly right: http://www.rtings.com/tv Pretty much everything they say, I found to be spot on, about each review. You'll see they like the Samsungs, just like those above who have them. Vizio follows along quite nicely. But again, the pitfalls of buying a TV are their weaknesses, not which has the strengths you want. Bad motion flow, poor color, are fatal flaws.
  11. I had the fortune to hear a short demo of the back bum buster sub! For those familiar with it, we went with the intro opener to Edge of Tomorrow . Deep Tissue Massage
  12. I'm almost certain this is it. Run it again, make sure the microphone is out in the open with direct lines to all the speakers except the subs. Even if not the exact spot of your ears, it's more important it runs without anything blocking the sound.
  13. Location of the drivers exposed on the sides makes shipping especially dangerous. I will sell locally. Thanks cal
  14. NC was the possible destination. I'm weary of shipping it too, but if someone had a good experience and an idea how to do it, with insurance it might be worth a try. Otherwise I'll just sell it locally. Thanks for the help!
  15. Thinking about it more money is a factor. The rc52 is the cheapest and sounds similar to the rp250c. The rc62 matches size and timber of your current speakers. So rc62 best option rc52 2nd based upon cost
  16. A member asked if I could ship. Id be happy to but dont know how. Can anybody please share an experience shipping one or similar ?

    Hawk Attack

    Would the search warrant be searching for a stuffed hawk? Im confused what they would look for.
  18. I have the m series in 55inch. Very nice set. The D series is essentially a 1080 set which is the major difference. Also gets great reviews. If you feel no need for 4k skip it and get it next time
  19. The top on that back bum sub really makes it look great. When you say a few inches from the couch, you really mean it.
  20. If there are going to picture poses, I would like one where you are holding it over your head like a strongman contest
  21. I have always loved music, but never really had a good setup until recently. I have my favorites of course, but am curious what long-time audiophiles like to listen to when testing out a setup they haven't heard before. Please share you top track or a few tracks or an album if you have a personal preference. Apologies in advance if this thread exists, I didn't see it if it did.
  22. Clearly they heard the spirit song and copied and modified it. Enough to get away with it. I love Zep but be honest...clearly from the same time they took it and ran with it. I make no argument they owe for spirit. Just rhat rhey clearly knew what they were doing.

    Hawk Attack

    Crows cawing might be as bad as the hawk swoops ☺
