  1. so fed ex completely lost my new center speaker. Very long story but it was “out for delivery” for 2 days. Spoke directly with my driver both days. He didn’t have it. Called the 800 number, called my local and no one knew anything. Then today I get a text at 1pm that it’s been delivered the day before at 3:15. Obviously someone manually put it in there to cover their ***. Called Klipsch and they have another one already sent out to me at no cost and they will file the claim. Good job Klipsch!!! Now time to unload my old center and my Denon-AVR 4520ci. How much do you think this receiver is worth? I feel it definitely had value but I’m not sure how much
  2. That sad feeling when fed ex has lost your package with your new center speaker. Been "out for delivery" now for 2 days and the my driver doesn't have it.
  3. So I took a step back and knew I was missing/doing something wrong. I traced my sub issue to the fact then when I wired it all back up I had the cable going into the right sub input on the sub rather than the left/LFE input. That changed the sub issue dramatically. I also went and turned off the MultiEQ XT and played a little in the graphic EQ. I got some good results but I found when I turned on the MultiEQ and used Flat instead of reference I got a much better sound then even when I EQed myself. Center at -3db and Sub at +4.5db sound so much better. I ordered the RC-62 II yesterday as well!
  4. I did run Audessey 3 separate times now with the same results. I have not gone in the graphic EQ yet, I just never had to with my old receiver because it just sounded great automatically with the pre-dialed sound fields with XT32. So I just turned off MultiEQ XT and went into Graphic EQ and its all leveled out to zero on each of the speakers. and subwoofer level adjust is at -7dB but even adjusting that doesnt change much for TV viewing even if I turn the sub gain setting on the actual sub all the way up from the halfway point. Dialing in the EQ per speaker is prob a little above my pay grade and always relied on presets like in a car stereo system, haha. Any tips when trying to dial that in. The sub being so non existent is still weird to me when it was very prominent before on the 4520 receiver.
  5. Ok so now I’m super frustrated. I got the Denon AVR-x2700h from Accessories4less as a Denon factory refurbished. I set everything up and calibrated it all. Added the Atmos speakers as well. I swear the sound field is horrible now. It’s so weird. I will put a new movie on and it sounds great. But then put on a TV show and the sound goes to absolute crap for the most part. No low end and the center speaker sounds so echoey and hollow. Even with music it just sounds way off. I can’t figure it out but I definitely did not have any of those issues with the 4250. It sounded great on all stuff. Most of the time you don’t get anything from the sub side of things. The left and right fronts seem to always sound good but the rest it all way off. Am I missing something or is this factory refurbished just a dud?
  6. I appreciate you taking the time in all of this. Ive found a Denon AVR-X2700H locally that is new in the box for $300. This should be plenty for what I am trying to accomplish right? I've also found a pair of RP-500SA's locally but they are not the II's. Did the originals not meet the standard and hence the second generation of them? I'm still looking at center speakers and will at least put that next on my list if something locally comes up.
  7. Thats what I want to do but doesnt the receiver have to be Atmos compatible? The 4520 isn't an Atmos compatible receiver.
  8. The issue was wanting to add Atmos as well as bluetooth and 4250 isn't compatible with either.
  9. Is that receiver really going to change a ton between the S series and the X series? Right now with the 4520 the system is so loud in the room you cant go above a quarter of the way up.
  10. So back in 2019 I picked up this older Klipsch system for $200 which I felt was a steal 2 - RF3 II Sides 1 - RC3 II center 2 - RS3 II Rears 1 - KSW-12 Sub Currently running with Denon AVR-4520CL but I also have a brand new Denon AVR-S970H just sitting in a box but thinking of hooking it up to run Dolby Atmos and have the HEOS/bluetooth and wireless capabilities. Now I know the 4520 is a higher end receiver but it's also about 10 years old if I am not mistaken and cant run true 3D sound for Atmos. TV is an LG 77" C2 OLED currently its all set up in a a medium size room with 9 ft ceilings. My questions are... How much has the RF3 towers and centers changed in terms of the new speakers? Is it really worth spending the money and upgrading or am I not going to see that much difference here? The system sounds good but I feel the Atmos will boost the 3d sound. No gaming going on, mostly TV and music. Thanks for your time.
  11. Yeah I mean front sides when I posted that. Thanks everyone for all the help, patiently waiting for my receiver to show up to fire this up in my house. I heard it at the sellers house before I bought it and it sounded great and can't beat the price.
  12. Thanks! That actually makes things a lot easier in the room Is the 6th foot height about right?
  13. So I just picked up an older Klipsch system that was in mint condition. Could not believe I got the entire 5.1 speaker set up for $200. The set up is 2 - RF3 II Sides 1 RC3 II center 2 RS3 II Rears 1 KSW-12 Sub I have a Denon AVR-X3100W on its way that should be here Friday. 2 questions. 1. For the 2 RS3 II rears, I am not able to mount them on the wall directly behind the couch as there no wall of place to put a shelve. With a 5.1 set up does it make sense to mount them at about 6 feet on the wall o=r book shelf on each side of the couch. Maybe a foot behind the couch or even with listeners ear? 2. Should the sub sit in the rear of the room behind the couch or front of the room near. With eh sub facing down the bass should be omni directional right? Thanks for the help here
