  1. I have done this before. The first thing you will need is patience. Take the speakers down to bare cabinets. Get yourself a palm sander and starting with 80-100 grit sandpaper sand these down to bare wood. ALWAYS sand in the direction of the grain.Proceed thru 220 grit, 330,400. That should give you a nice surface to work with. Then STAIN them. DO NOT paint them. You will lose the grain.It will take you a few coats of stain, allowing time in between to dry complteley.After they are the correct shade of color you want then seal them with polycrilic. I advise to use a paint gun if you can, if not use the aerosol. It is very hard to brush on the acrylic without leaving brush marks.Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

  2. Thanks for the back -up NHL. Are you the only one with the balls to call out these fools? I will set the record straight then I will not respond or offer any more items to this forum. I DID NOT GET ANY "INSIDE" INFO FROM THIS FORUM!!! I am more than capable of scanning ebay to find either what I am looking for or to stumble upon a good deal.This so called buy it now was up on ebay for over two hours!Maybe one of you so called "loyal" Klipsch fans should have taken advantage of the info on this forum and snapped them up for the good of the entrie forum and then sold them for what you got them for! Also, I am going to have to drive for a couple of hours to pick these up.As well as the fact that I am taking a chance sight unseen. Who knows, maybe they arent in great condition or even good condition. For all of you who feel you have some "rights" to all the Klipsch speakers on this planet, get over yourselves.For those of you who feel that I am offering you a good deal (as well as myself), feel free to say so. Maybe that will shut up all of the altar boys on the forum.

  3. Anyone who is interested at this time, please feel free to email me. But remember I have not taken these into my possesion and I have not taken a close-up visual/sonic inspection.I took a chance on these and if it pans out I will pass on my good fortune with forum members. I will not sell these to anyone until I am confident they are getting an accurate description.As for the unneccessary comments,I Dont know what Todd L.'s issues are and I really dont have time for it.Any items I have sold have been below Ebay prices and those who have bought have been very happy. Feel free to take a look.

  4. I have almost the same set-up with the RB-5's. In my opinion the RB-5's are as good as the RF-3's if not better in the midrange frequencys. If you like to listen to 5 channel stereo especially the RB-5's are the way to go. If you dont jump on the deal give me a holler. I would like to go to 6.1 using all RB-5's. Hope this helps.

  5. If you have preamp outputs on your reciever, run the sub(using a Y connector) off of the front main output. Make sure you have the front speaker setting on LARGE and the subwoofer setting at OFF. This should get you by.

  6. I will second that the problem lies with the muting circuit on the reciever. If you want to double check, use another sub to see if the pop continues. If so, then all signs point to a bad muting circuit.I am speaking from experience on this issue. Hope this helps.

  7. Any interest in a 7.1 system consisitng of a pair of SB-3's, a pair of SB-1's,a SC-1 center, a pair of SS-1 surrounds and a pair of LF-10 subs? I would be willing to make someone a great deal. All speakers are in fantasic condition. I also Have a Denon AVR-3801 if there is a need for a 7.1 receiver. All trades/offers considered. Thanks for looking.

  8. For shear slam I agree with The Ear. Given the fact that you are looking for a musical sub,the Velodyne or Paradigm is clearly the better chioce in my mind.The servo units are very smooth and precise with ultra low distortion.They will pack a great pop in the 70-80hz range, and even though the 30's have two 12inch woofers the upper end of the servo's will fill out your music.

  9. I have an Academy center speaker for sale in Black Oak. Comes in original box with the owners manuel. Some light wearing on the edges ,otherwise in great shape.Grill is in excellent condition. I am open to offers . Shipping will be from 91901. Thanks

  10. I am selling a set of Synergy speakers for a HT set-up. It consists of: SB3 mains , SC-1 center and SB-1 surrounds. All speakers are black satin and in excellent condition. Shipping would be from 91901. Asking $400 for the set. Thanks for looking.

  11. I currentley have RB5's all the way around. I have an opportunity to run a RB5 in place of my current RC3 for a center channel speaker. Any thoughts if this would be an upgrade? Do you feel that the RB5 can perform as well or better? My concern is the dual woofers vs. the single would leave me shy in the bass dept. Please give me your opinions. Thanks
