Im going to buy some cornwall speakers (hopefully soon) and I need to know what to use as surrounds for them. Im probably going to get an academy center. I have heard that the Heresy speakers make good surrounds but I need surrounds that can be mounted on a wall.

I have the same problem with my parents. They will do anything they possibly can to avoid buying any home theater stuff. Tell them you will pay for part of it. Im selling some crap and saving some money so I can pay for half of what Cornwalls cost (about $1200). After I get those I can buy the center and surrounds. After my parents get all of there "bills" (my dad just bought a new car, new carpet, new washer/dryer, 50 inch HDTV) paid off he said he will buy the sub (SVS CS Ultra)

Well I guess im going to need to listen to them both and see but im almost sure im getting the cornwalls.

I just wish that they were my klipschorns

I think he wants to stay under $1000

He would perfer tubes but solid state would be ok. He wants them integrated. He has them in a large room but im not sure of the dimentions. He normally listens to like rock music and he watches movies and stuff.

My friend has a pair of klipschorns but the amp he was using recently blew out. He wants to know what would be a good new amp to buy. He wants just a 2 channel unit for the speakers and he wants the amp to have a remote control. What would be a good amp for him to get?

Thats funny that even though they clearly say heresy on the label they still think that they are klipschorns.

Heres my impression of the other two: Too little bass with klipsch. Sub driver pops with altecs and klipsch. High price. The controls being on the speaker on the klipsch was a inconvinuce. My impression of logitechs: Bass too loud. M3D is good. Control pod is great. My dad told me to get these because he is a fan of good high quality loud bass. Sound card: none, i got me a radio shack y spitter and split the output on my onboard soundcard into two and connected it to the front and the back. I also turned on m3d so it sounds good now...sound like 4 different channels of sound. Total price: 174.99 without tax plus best buy 2 yr protection plan. I saved me a bundle without a sound card. note: the bass knob on the logitechs are at minimum and bass still too loud lol. Thanks LOL you think the bass on you logitechs is to loud? If thats too loud what is a SVS SS? Bass can never be to loud

Im sure cornwalls will sound a lot better than the speakers built in my tv

Im going to buy either Cornwalls or RF-7s for the sound system I may be getting. I know there have been other topics about this but most of the replies are by people saying that the "cornbreadwalls" arent as good as the new technology and that the people that like them are "old hornies". How do the speakers really compare? I would proably get the RF-7s but the cornwalls are cheaper and from what ive heard higher quality (they dont make them like that used to). Are the cornwalls significantly better or worse in any areas than the RF-7s?

Im not sure what to do now. I want to get the reference 7 speakers speakers and the sub at the same time but that would be over $4000 with the receiver and everything. Also with some things happening im in a bad money situation. I guess ill be stuck with these 10 watt built in tv speakers for a long time . My parents promised to give my some money to buy the system "soon" after we bought the tv but its been 6 months now and I dont think ill be getting anything any time soon. If I saved up $1000 I could get some cornwalls and drive them with my old receiver and then upgrade when the $ comes (if it ever does). I definitally cant afford RF-7s or a subwoofer.

Im eventually going to buy some ole cornwalls as soon as I have that cash. Were some years built better than others?

At this time I dont really have time to build a DIY sub and the giant sonotube monsters that I like are way to big.

I could knock off about $400 if i bought the CS+ instead of the ultra. Do you think there's a huge differennce between the 2? SVS says that the CS+ has 80% of the ultra performance but that was before that ultra got the SS driver.

Is there a way to get cornwalls shipped without having to pay too much or do I have to go drive and get them?

I try and get out about 6 times a month, and take 3 or 4 golf vacations a year. Why is it that all my hobbies (audio, corvettes and golf) are expensive? Mike What year corvettes do you have?

Heritage speakers are really big but they are cheaper. Maybe if I could clear some room I could get Cornwalls off ebay. Its going to be a while before I buy all this stuff so I have plenty of time to decide. I really want to buy the sub at the same time as the other stuff. I think ill buy Cornwalls but I need a place to find them and I have to beg with other members of my family to convince them that "big ugly speakers" are ok (personally I like the looks of them). RF-7s cost $1700 (thats more than all of the heritage speakers you said I would need). If I really work hard this summer and I guess I can scrape aside enough to buy all this. I need compact surround because they have to be on the wall (would a mix of new and old equipment sound ok?). If speakers are $1500 and the sub is like $1400 I can save up extra for receiver, wire, and other stuff. I was going to buy RF-3s but I thought the same thing about needing powerful mains. What is the cheapest HT receiver I could get that would still be high quality?

would the RF-7s have enough bass for now?

I recently bought a HDTV and I want to get a sound system to go with it. Ive been doing some research and I and to buy a SVS Ultra, Rf-7s, a RC-7, and some RC-3s. My problem is that that comes to well over what I can spend when I buy a receiver and wire and stuff. If I need to downgrade in what area should I do it? I really want the SVS sub and the RF-7s but I simply cant afford them. I need to stay around $3000 (3300 or so would be ok). BTW the room is 22x13x8
