Bump .

Hello I was wondering if any of my fellow hosers could help me out. I am looking at purchasing RB-35s and was wondering what would be reasonable to pay in Canada. It looks like I could pull a pair out of the States for under $700 Canadian including shipping, brokerage fees would be extra, however my local distributor wants $1000. To further complicate my purchase decision the local distributor does not normally carry RB-35s. Could the more knowledgeable ears tell me if RF-35s, RF-25s or RB-3s would provide a close comparison to RB-35s. What might be an appropriate amp to match to the RB-35s. Thanx.

Hi all I am using my PM5.1s with a DD5.1 as a HT. I would like to use a universal remote control for all my components. Does any body know of a remote that will work with the Klipsch DD-5.1 or a compatible product code? Such as the universal remote code for the Klipsch DD-5.1 is equivalent to that of the RCA tuner control setting for a particular brand of universal remote. I am aware of some truly universal remotes but would like to keep the cost in the realm of reality, or at least my reality , of about $30 US. Thanx.

Thanx for the input guys. As I live in a smaller city (200 000ish) the selection of Klipsch speakers is limited for a live demo. The local Klipsch dealer generally caries the Synergy series and surprisingly has a pair RF7s on the floor but can bring in other models. The B@W dealer is the only other high end speaker shop in town and carries the full model range of B@Ws, excluding the painfully expensive "If your thinking of buying a Porsche you might want to look at these" Prestige (shells) speakers. The B@W dealer suggested the Harmon/Kardon AVR 120 amp to go with the DM 601(2) S3s, as I am looking to build up to a HT system though the primary use will be listening to CDs, and offered a weekend demo/loan of the system. As I am in Canada e-bay can be a bit of a hassle with shipping, duty, and brokerage fees though the $400 Heresy does look sweet. Any other comment/opinions welcome and appreciated. Thanx again. ------------------ Why do I work with computers? Because bobbing for onion rings in the deep fryer at McDonalds might be considered strange.

I have recently purchased the PM5.1s and as a consequence have been bit by the audiophile bug. Hey don't laugh at the PMs until I owned these little beuts the only speakers I spent any time with where JVCs, Kenwoods, Sony and B-O-S-E (ackk) among other boxstore through-aways. I have recently listened to the B@W DM601 (2) S3s and was very impressed. As I like the PMs I am also considering other Klipsch speakers that may be in the caliber of the B@Ws, RF3s or RF5s. Have any of the more experienced ears had the opportunity to Demo the B@Ws next to an equivalent Klipsch product? Thoughts and opinions? ------------------ Why do I work with computers?
