Thanks for the post!!

Please be sure to tell us what happens!! I'm currently saving for a projector myself and learning a lot about these things. I would like to know the solution to your problem...

Dude, when I was in CCD classes as a kid, we had the same thing on paper. This thing is years and years old... lol!

I have a bit of a dilema. My surrounds are two RF-3II's. The current problem is that the speaker stands so that when you are sitting on the couch the horn is about level with your ear in height. This is not a correct setup for a surround. I find that I don't really hear a significant amount out of the surrounds and I think it has to do with the couch blocking some sounds and it doesn't provide a surround-sound ambiance! So the idea is to put the speaker up higher. I'm guessing lifting it about 2 feet off the ground would be ideal? Then tip it forward, having the horn pointing directly towards the couch where people sit? Well, if all that is true, how in the heck can I *do* that? I know of NO mounts that can hold that kind of weight. I'm willing to make some boxes out of wood from Home Depot for them to lay on. But I'm not sure how I can tilt it and ensure it doesn't fall off. And again I'm not sure what a proper setup (height, tilt) would be for a floorstander. The speaker sounds are just too directional coming from a surround, and is actually distracting cause you have to listen for the surround to hear it... I need suggestions ...

yO! I am about to build a deck for my backyard and already thinking of relaxing on it and listening to some music on a warm summer day...and yet I have no clue what are some good outdoor weather-PROOF speakers! I can't find the thread, but someone started one maybe a month or 2 ago where some Yammies for around $100 were discussed ... maybe it was AVMAN. Not sure though. I know Klipsch makes some Synergy outdoor speaks, but I'm not sure how great those will sound and I'm definitely limited by the price. Let's keep this sucker under $200 for a pair, but the cheaper the price the better. I'm not expecting the world out of these speaks, just something that will sound nice (not overly loud, I live in a close-to-other-houses community) and can stay outside, uncovered all year long (prefer mounting to house). Thanks!!!

I say you can't go wrong with another RF-3II as your center. I did. It is an awesome match. The fronts just sound great.

What would be considered a small room? Approximate max dimensions before moving towards a medium or large room?

Last night I had an hour or so before friends would be visiting my house. I decided to try the biwiring. I would like to say I heard an improvement, but then I would be lying. All I got were deep wire cuts on my thumb and forefinger from being stupid and not wearing gloves . I did not notice any improvement in sound, but at least I tried. Was fun and made the hour of nothing to do enjoyable.

It has everything to do with marketing and nothing to do with engineering. Of course those of us with even a basic understanding of how speakers work know that bi-wiring is, as ole PWK used to put it, bull****. ---------------- I am not doubting what you are saying. But I want to bring this up: If this is true, then why does the Klipsch manual mention that to get the best sound you should bi-wire? I'm confused that PWK would take one stance, yet say another in a manual for the product. I'm referring to my RF3-II booklet that came with the speakers.

366 days later....was there ever an answer from Klipsch?

A: There are two rules: First, if you have to raise your voice to talk to someone who is an arm's length away, then the noise is likely to be hazardous. Second, if your ears are ringing or sounds seem dull or flat after leaving a noisy place, then you probably were exposed to hazardous noise. http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/noisehearingconservation/ ---------------- Dang, now I'm gonna have to turn the Klipsch's down ...

Thanks for doing that.

Why wouldn't 98 do it? I'm sure it could, it's only a text file... sure it wasn't a RTF file?

I have the AVR 625 and have not come even close to pushing the receiver too far. The Klipsch speakers are easy to make sing. Only rarely have I approached the "0" volume mark. And then my ears give in and I have to turn it down. I don't think you have much to worry about.

When I saw the *.swf extention, I knew not to click. I did see one time someone link it as a jpg, not sure how though?

Happy belated Bday m00n! Here's hoping the wife surprised you with four brand new RC-7's.

Something more to add here ... In another thread this week that talked about Matrix Revolutions being out on DVD, a member named Wheelman made this comment: "When i switched my mains to large with sub playing.The sound seemed a tad more wider, but when i switched the mains back to small with the sub BOOM! On reloaded that is. I couldn't believe how much more bass was prominent. It wasn't like a golden ear thing. The difference was monsterous. " The thread link (Wheelman's comments towards bottom of page 2): http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=48222&pageNo=2&num=30> LINK Try setting your speakers to small and play around with where to place the sub. Maybe even get some advice from Tom at SVS if you are not satisfied. That subwoofer, from what I've heard, should rock your socks. lol

Keep her . I will add that movie to a list of one's I'm waiting to see...thanks.

Picky, LOL. I can see you and EAR beating me to a pulp for watching without a sub. I have a 4.1 setup for my computer. I have a 5.0 setup in my living room. That is the five RF-3II's. I was basically slowly saving for a projector because I thought that would be the next best thing to get (I have a 24 inch tv right now). Now you guys got me wanting to get the sub... I dunno. I change my mind everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. Right now the floorstanders do an "ok" job at movies, just can't really produce the shaking explosions, etc that is sorely being missed. edit:// I was saving for a projector with the thought in mind of about a $1000 sub, likely the SVS PB2-isd (I think that is what is called, can't recall). It would be a *long* time before I could afford that toy. Basically the idea was to eventually get a sub but had two things in front of it: 1. build the basement theater (finish basement with 7.1 wiring, etc) 2. projector purchase 3. sub The order changes daily .

So I'm guessing I shouldn't watch this film until I get that subwoofer...?

And this is the exact reason why I am working on my setup now. I asked my mother and sisters if they would ever allow their husband / future husband have such a setup in the living room (5 floorstanders). I was met with a very strong "NO!". Then my sister mentioned some small cube speakers by "some company, I think they were BOSS." lol.

It'd be funny that barely 20 hours into his job he has racked up a $3000 bill because of everything we asked him for...lol. Please make it your personal mission to turn all people away from Bose. Unplug em or something everyday.
