    You do need to upgrade your sub though, that will make a huge difference.

    We do love pics around here :D

    I think so as well.  I think that will certainly be next.

    I will take some when I get home from work.

    That is a nice home theater system you put together.

    Thank you.

    Congrats! Master and Commander is one of my favorite demo blu-ray's. The cannon battles will really show off your surrounds and an overall good movie is always a plus.

     

    Enjoy!

    Without a doubt!

  2. Holy Crap! I got the last of my speakers in yesterday at 1:30, the RP-280F's.

    I had spent that morning clearing my old tower speakers and replacing speaker wire to the front 3 speakers and installing banana plugs on the new wire.  I hooked them all up and ran Auto-EQ (Onkyo Receiver).  I didn't like the results because the distances were way off, so I re-ran it and was much more accurate.  I figure maybe the dog farted and threw it off the first time.

     

    I popped in Master and Commander, one of my favorite movies.

     

    Holy crap this system sounds absolutely amazing!

    My old speakers were Bose 701 Series II's (Mains), Bose VCS-10 (Center), and Bose 161 (Rear).

     

    The clarity in these Klipsch is unbelievable! I kept my old sub, a BIC PL-200, but I am thinking I may upgrade that in the near future.

     

    I just wanted to say I am a very, very happy Klipsch owner.

     

    As a side note, I have a 7.1 receiver and I am only using 5.1.

    I read recently about the ability to biamp and since the 280's can be biamped, should I go that direction?

     

    Right now I have it attached to the lower of the binding posts with the post bridges in place.

    Would it be beneficial / add anything if I were to use the rear surround outputs on the receiver to biamp the 280's?

  3. I deeply appreciate the response.

    When I move to 7.x.x I will use monopoles (direct) thank you.

     

    It looks like I made a good call getting the RP-250's instead of the RP-160m's then.  My surrounds (side) speakers are literally 3 feet to the side and 9 inches behind my listening position.

     

    I came home to the two 250S speakers last night in Walnut.

    I can't wait until Tuesday when I get the mains and center!

     

    They are very large for rears.

    Much larger then I expected them to be.

     

    My current rears are Bose 161's

  4. Hey all, I am very new to Klipsch speakers, but not all that new to Home Theater.

    In fact I have two RP-280F, an RP-450C, and two RP-250S speakers that are in shipping now.

    They are replacing 16 year old speakers.

    I also bought an Onkyo RZ810 to replace a 10 year old Yamaha A/V Receiver.

     

    My question involves rear (not side) surrounds for 7.x.x and the reference premier line.

    Under what circumstances would you go with the RP-160M (Bookshelf Speakers) over the RP-250S (Bipole Speakers) as rear surrounds?

    Would it be simply distances from the listening position?  Anything over X feet you get bookshelf speakers?

     

    Thanks in advance for any replies.
