  1. Good info guys. I might give these Lascalas a try. I like the ideas of time aligning them and bi or tri ampingg also. I also use a Dspeaker X4 room correction unit which is a great piece.
  2. Sorry to dig up this old thread guys! I have a small dedicated two channel listening room. Will most likely never be moving so will never have a bigger listening room. My room is 9 feet wide x 17 long with 7 foot ceilings. I am looking at some Lascala 2's. Can Lascala be close to sidewalls? I can easily be 3 feet or a bit more from front wall to back of cabinet. I run subs in the corner so i don't need to corner load the Lascala's for bass. Just want a deep and wide soundstage without the beaming of my singledriver speakers. Thanks fellas!
  3. Been running a Crown XLS2502 with my simple R28F's and it sounds great to me. Awesome sounds staging and depth with unlimited power reserves. Crown has $50.00 off until June to make trying one out a little less painful. Dealer i ordered from was great to deal with also.
  4. With the current pricing on these and adding a Crown XLS2502 and Outlaw 975 pre/pro to my current R28F's i feel the 7's will be awesome!
  5. You really know your speakers are transparent when you listen to them naked and feel awkward... I thought i was the only one! Lol
  6. Looking at the Marantz SR5008 for 389 on adcs 4 less.That might be the one for me!
  7. So been watching some movies with the wife this weekend.She is encouraging me to add center and surrounds. So i need to grab a multi channel receiver. I need pre outs for an external amp, sub out of course, and bluetooth connectivity.Oh and fairly cheap too.Lol Any suggestions?
  8. Thanks for the suggestions guys.Was not generally a tube guy in the past.I did own an Audible Illusions preamp that i enjoyed for awhile.This is really just gonna be a secondary system so not gonna go real far with it.Next year once i am in a new home i have much bigger plans for a main listening room.Could be in a good sized finished basement or pole barn.We will see what i wind up with.
  9. Been looking at the Yamaha R-S700 as a future upgrade.Anyone have experience with it?Looks like i could use an external amp also if these wind up in a bigger room.
  10. jbezak, i am new to Klipsch and do not have the experience as the other members on this site.I can tell you i just bought the lesser version of your speakers and a using disgustingly cheapo electronics and the Klipsch sound incredible to me.I should be embarrassed buy the current electronics but i am getting some kind of sick enjoyment out of the fact that i have 500 into the entire system and it is killing it. Grab what you can currently afford and upgrade later.Enjoy!
  11. Yep they are extremely honky Richard!Lol They really just keep amazing me!I want to thank all the guys here for not lynching me do to my current electronics.Lol Been a long day.Time to kick back for a bit and get my horn honk on!
  12. Hey congrats on doing it all on the cheap. You got 90 percent of what you need, going for that last 10 percent in sound going to cost you. I have a few cheap receivers in the house and you know they don't sound that bad either. Most people listen to music on built in TV speakers or factory car speakers. What you have is miles ahead of that. Welcome back to the audio game! Thank you BobK!Yeah i am gonna do what derrickdj1 said and just sit back and enjoy the music for now and amazing i can do that with so little money spent.I have spent thousands more and always had to change and tweak.These just don't seem picky.Of course i realize i could get them better but for now rather just enjoy!
  13. The other thing that surprises is that you can not tell where the speakers are.They just fade away.Very open and airy.
  14. Thank you guys!Yep they were open box.Actually they had no box.Lol Yeah they call the Insignia 100 watts per channel but who knows what it really is.I can honestly say even at my loudest play levels in my current room it is not straining at all.Vey amazing really.
  15. Ok so I am getting back into the whole audio thing after many years and many dollars in high end equipment.Planning one of the mwm/402 builds once i am out of this temporary living arrangement.In the mean time was thinking maybe i would do a small system in the bedroom in a month or two. I head over to bb yesterday for an HDMI cable.Figure i would poke around the audio equipment just for the heck of it.I see they have open box r26 for 261ea and r28 for 251ea..Cabinets were a little beat up and binding strap was missing off one.So long story short they give me the 28's for $150.00ea.Now i don't have anything to power them.So i see an open box 2 channel insignia receiver on the cheap.Lol I grab that and some 16ga rocket wire.Get home proceed to biwire them do to missing bridge strap.Hook up a 2003 vintage but barely used sony cd/dvd player that's sitting here. Now i am thinking this isn't gonna sound all that good.Crappy electronics, do to space limitations they are back up to the wall, against the dresser on the insides.Left outside 6 inches from a desk.Right outside 3 feet from wall.Oh so slightly toed in.I am thinking that they would be real bright.Can't stand that!Well to my total amazement and considering the set up these things soundstage, image, are crystal clear, dynamic and oh so smooth!I just can not believe it!It doesn't matter what type of music or even the source.CD/Pandora from the laptop via bluetooth.Can crank them up with no brightness or changes in sound.Can play at really low night time going to sleep levels with no losses either.Really not sure how it can be this good all things considered.I look forward to a better front end down the road.Maybe a small Crown xls series with a small preamp and better cd player.Want to keep this as a low cost system so that is the only restraint but i know these pups will really come alive with better electronics.Any suggestions are welcomed. I now realize back in the day lots of what Klipsch can do is what i was searching for.Ashame i threw away all that time and money.It really is amazing how great this low end system sounds!Klipsch owner for life! Thanks for reading guys!
  16. I agree. Now I wouldn't go off modifying them right off the bat. I would keep them stock (if possible), listen for about 6 months. After that upgrade the caps and listen for another 6 months. Reason I say do this, sometimes you might find that you love the stock sound and you realized this is the best bang for the buck set of speakers you have ever owned. This exact reason is why I never changed anything on my Cornwalls except refreshing the caps. Yes definitely what i was thinking but maybe doing an internal refresh first?Ones i have been looking at are 80's to early 90's vintage so could probably use a refresh for max sound quality?
  17. Marvel, that is great info and what i am looking for.Much appreciated!
  18. Thanks for the welcome.05 Baja turbo.
  19. They look amazing!I imagine with sound to match?Need to find your build thread!Will search for Full Ranges build thread also.Thank you!
  20. No problem at all mustang guy.
  21. Thanks for the info!Just missed a single cabinet pair for 850.There is a pair for 1500 that looks good but no mention of upgrades.Gonna see if i can get in touch with the seller today and if they check out ok will offer 800 and go from there.
  22. Thanks for the responses guys.I am in New York state and they seem to be in the 1500 range.I did just miss a single cabinet pair for 850.Since i am gonna mod them might be better to hold out for another deal like that. What kind of upgrades can be done with the single cabinet models?It appears a 510 will fit?What about the rest of the drivers x-overs etc?Might be nice to start with a pair of them and keep everything in one cabinet. Have to start somewhere.Lol
