These are great times - yes, i admit it, i´m a huge SciFi Buff. This time it´s been a five minute hop into space. Next it´s going to be a full orbit? This could be a door-opener for many things. I remember a lot of people, especially here in Germany, that criticized and ridiculed him when he made his plans public, he proved them wrong. Good job, Mr. Branson!

This week the grill-fabric and gaskets arrived, curtessy of the Crites family. Once i finish the first part of my new shelves, i´ll start the makeover of these cabinets. In the between time i will order structured paint for the motor-boards and the back. I will sand the old oil finish down a bit and then apply the same oil & wax combo i´m using for the shelves right now. Let´s see how much lighter the verneer will get. This will also be the time to get rid of some minor dents and stains. Last step will be the touch-up of the spots where the veneer is missing some bits with repair-wax. Now is also the time to think about how to use the magnets for the grills. Right now i´m thinking of burrying them in the motor-boards and glue washers to the backsides of the grills.

Hoarder of books and CDs, and to a lesser extent DVD & Bluray. More Klipsch won´t do because of space restrictions...

My meaning was, can two centers of the same type, for example mentioned RC-62, be used as front left and right, as bookshelves instead of conventional bookshelve-speakers. Getting some good input here, thank You all who answered so far.

Yes, Amazon has been quite convinient for CDs for me so far, DVDs less so far. I´ll have a look at that forum, you never know.

Hello Guys! We have Discogs for LPs & CDs, there is Abebooks connecting you to stores around the world, but is there a network for pre owned DVD & Blu-ray? We have Medimops in Germany, which is domestic mostly, I am looking for US and Japan stuff.

Great, then Your H1s and mine are about the same age. Difference: At the time my uncle got them.

What are You talking about?

Knowing that now, would You consider buying them again?

I grew up with the Heresys that were in my parents living room and which i redicovered thanka to this forum. The first bought from my own money were my KG1.5, that was in 1994. These now have their second life as my PC speakers after beeing cosmeticaly touched up, also cudos to this forum.

I guess, this is/was a singular feature of a first class center like the RC7, or are any other centers capable of rotating their horns?

Speculating: I´m watching German "ebay kleinanzeigen" (about equal to US Craigslist) for Klipsch speakers regularly. A lot of centers turn up here- What i´ve always wondered, could two centers, let´s say RC-62s for example, be used as front alternatives? Quite often you can find them cheap and end up spending less $$$ then getting bookshelves of the same line. If i remember correctly, the KG 2.2 and 2.5 could be used as both, fronts or center.

50 to 60%, that would be about 100 to 110w per channel, right? The 600m is rated at 100w continous power, so You might be on the edge. But i´m looking foward to the results of your modifications.

Thanks Randy!

Speaking of wich, i would like to lubricate the rubber surounds of my RF3s. What would i use for a lubricant, glycerine maybe?

Did You listen to them in stereo or just as HT? I´m interested in knowing, too?

Welcome to the Forum! Your RP260F have a continious power handling of 125w, the Yamaha has got around 110w at 8 ohms. Sounds like a good match. So this is for stereo only, no Home Cinema?

Don´t own any of the two, but looking at the specs, i prefer the R34C. Higher sensitivity, higher power-handling and cabinet is not made of plastic.

Welcome to the Forum! First of – i don´t own any of Your speakers, so i can´t speak from experience. But, in most of the cases, comparing a bookshelve against a floorstander will have you lacking bass ( Your meaning when you write about depth?). From Your post i gather that you have a sub. Now it depends on the size of your listening space, for me, one sub is enough, although i use mine only for HT. If Your room is of a larger type, maybe You will need two subs or maybe the one you have does not have the power, but i think in most of the cases one should sufficient. The 5.2 has a very powerfull bass and probably Your are right if you say you´re "spoiled". It also will certainly be a case of "color-difference" in sound between the Reference Line and the KGs, hence the difference You are hearing. Let´s see if fellow members have more opinions.

I´m looking forward to Your findings. Very interesting.

Although i´m not following soccer very much, i hope our team will make it to the finals. Too bad that corona won´t let fans celebrate the way they used to...

Welcome to the Forum! I´m sure You did, but i ask again, have You checked if the connection to the left speaker came loose? It´s not unheard of that wires become loose because of vibrations.

Can speakers be ugly? These sure make me ponder the question....

Your meaning, bridging the amps or bi-amping the speakers?
