If I hear a song on the radio that I completely detest, I change the station so I don't have to listen to it. I do the same thing in this forum, If there is a thread I don't like, I don't waste my time reading it and posting to it all weekend long. I used an Electrolux for a year or two when I was a janitor. They worked pretty well. Btw, QUIT making those comments about people from wisconsin. I'm a cheesehead myself. As a matter of fact I'm also only 21 and have only been on this BB for a few months, But who cares?? Oh well that's just my $0.02, time to go mess with the radio. Peace, Josh

Oh man are you one lucky dude. Congratulations on the new horns. Just be careful not to blow your house apart ok Peace, Josh

Stephen, I think all thats out at this point is NFS hot pursuit 2. I could be wrong. Didn't need for speed 4:High stakes come out a while ago? Peace, Josh

I don't see the synergy line as being the "high end line" of speakers in BB While they may be the nicest in the store I don't see them as costing that much more than the JBL fake studio series. I also don't consider current JBL products to suck overall, The stuff in best buy sure isn't the top of the line that JBL has to offer. JBL still makes excellent products in the prosound area and of course they still sell(in japan) the 4312 and the like. Peace, Josh

Bucking magnets are available at parts express. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&User_ID=11338584&St=8921&St2=-49430319&St3=58848764&DS_ID=3&Product_ID=5567&DID=7 Peace, Josh

After reading the post by Joshua Ryan Hall it looks like the synergy line is going to be sold at best buy and the reference series will be available through your high end stores. So you have nothing to worry about, Your RF5's won't be available at best buy so you can still feel elite if you want to Fwiw, all of my speakers I currently own(except for my center channel which I hardly ever use) are over 20 years old. So you could say I have an unavailable sort of an elitist setup, the truth is that I am a tightfisted scrooge who doesn't feel like paying for a pair of new speakers. It's not like they really wear out so unless I blow them being stupid which I don't see happening I should be set for a good long while. Now about those tube amps... Peace, Josh

I bought my yamaha reciever there. I find it hard to get a good listen at best buy, even the ones with the semi removed listening area. Oh well, by the time i'm in the market for new speakers Again I will propably be getting some used khorns. Peace, Josh

Who cares where they are sold? There wasn't a tweeter in my hometown until sometime within the past year. As it is I have never heard a single pair of klipsch in a store. What made me want to buy a pair can be traced to two things. 1. John Albrights killer system that he was kind enough to let me and my dad come over and listen to for an afternoon. 2. A single heresy hanging on a tree in a park as part of the sound reinforcement for an outdoor concert. Not wanting to be associated with something because it is easily available or popular makes you as much of(if not more so) a slave to the pop culture mall crowd that it seems like you are trying so harrd to avoid. If you really wanted to be anal about it you could just say "hey check out the serial numbers I've got on my speakers, they are from before klipsch was common in stores". Don't let it worry you dude. Klipsch makes great speakers. If you really don't want those rf5's I'd be glad to make some room at my place for them. Peace, Josh btw, I have plenty of blank t-shirts

As far as the coaxial thing goes, typically you would not be running it out of the reciever so much as into the reciever. Out of the DVD player is more likely. Coaxial is just a digital signal on an rca jack (or sometimes a bnc). Some recievers and DVD/CD players have an optical digital jack that uses the Toslink style fiber optic cable. There are people who would argue that a Coaxial digital connection sounds better than an Optical digital connection, I tend to think that if it's a digital connection it does not make a difference. As to whether or not a coaxial connection is "better" then an rca connection would depend on the DAC(Digital to Analog Converter) in your reciever. Some DVD players happen to have a six channel(5.1) output on the back as well to be used with recievers that do not do the surround decoding themselves but do have a six channel input(often labeled as external decoder) and the speaker outputs to match. For myself I would not be chasing after something to play mp3's as I don't think they sound that great at all. Back in the day I thought mp3's were the best thing since sliced bread. I would listen to them on my little plastic computer speakers and I thought they sounded just like CD quality audio. The truth of the matter was that CD's sounded just like mp3 quality when played through those little speakers, even a good turntable would propably sound like junk when played through them. Once I got some real speakers hooked up to my computer I was able to hear the difference. That being said the high bit rate mp3's (256 on up) don't sound to bad. Oh well just my $0.02 Peace, Josh

I would go with that new carrera gt over the benz slr on looks alone. It would be nice to see some real pics of the gt. Nobody has mentioned any italian cars yet. What about the venerable FIAT X1/9 This is a car that almost any one can afford. For the price of one of those expensive german cars you could have a different FIAT for every day of the month. Peace, Josh

Happy B-day Mr. c7s. Peace, Josh

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better. We're all pulling for you Peace, Josh

Han shoots first. Why yes he did! That's just the kind of guy he is. Peace, Josh

Kenratboy, To start with I'm going to school here www.fullsail.com If things go as planned I will be making the good money as a graphic designer in a few years. My school has a very high job placement rate and the Digital Media/Graphic Design industry is one that has been growing at a faster than normal rate for a good while now. Not only that but I enjoy this kind of stuff, you know what they say, "if you have a job you love, you won't have to work a day in your life". Seriously though, a porsche turbo is likely going to be on the back burner for a while after I get out of college since I will be paying off student loans. Of course there are more klipsch to be acquired along the way as well Peace, Josh

Happy Birthday dude Many happy returns of the day. Peace, Josh

I don't think the PS2 is that bad for playing DVD's. I have not watched it side by side with other DVD players so I guess I could not say for sure about the picture quality. The quality of the picture is affected a good deal depending on what output cable you use. When I switched from the stock composite video cable to a monster s-video cable the picture improvement was unbelievable. Items and menus on DVD's and games that used to be rather fuzzy are now bright and crisp. I suppose if I wanted to I could get the component video cable but I suspect that I would not see as much of an improvement as before. Btw, PS2's are only hard to play DVD's on if you don't know what you are doing. Peace, Josh

LOL, small. Peace, Josh

leok, The album cover on the front of the pile in the closup of the moondogs looks very familiar but I can't put my finger on it. Perhaps you could enlighten me. I want to say that it looks like the Paul Clark and Friends album but I could be wrong. I may just be imagining things but I swear I've seen that before. Peace, Josh

If you are going to be using a computer for the front end of this setup it is nice to have a soundcard with a digital output(sb-live etc.) When I went from using the 1/8" miniplug analog to using the digital out the level of background noise dropped considerably. Peace, Josh

SPL = Sound Pressure Level. You can buy a spl meter at radioshack for about $40. This will give you specific readings in dB(decibel) so you can know how loud you are playing. Peace, Josh

I usually listen at around 90dB average if I am just sitting there listening to music. Once the volume gets up to around 100db it starts to get a little too bright and snappy to be as enjoyable. Still I think it depends on the type of sound and the quality of equipment. My mom used to blast gregorian chant cd's on sunday mornings, I would go into our living room and it was so loud I could not hear people in the kitchen yelling at me that breakfast was getting cold. The sound of the chant however was not harsh but very rich. I make it a point to take earplugs or cotton balls along if I'm going to a concert or a club. In a typical club sound levels near the speakers are often well over 120dB. 120dB is considered the normal volume at which hearing damage starts. Basically if you listen for any extended amount of time at around 120dB or higher you WILL have hearing damage. At 140dB hearing damage happens almost instantly, the amount of damage depends on the duration of the sound. As your hearing is damaged you lose the ability to hear high as well as low frequencies althought it's often easier to notice the lack of treble first. Protect those ears, they are the only ones you've got Peace, Josh

What size drivers do those JBL bass cabinets have?? It sounds like you both got a good deal on them. One of the best "bang for the buck" deals that I had is my heresies. $300.01 I got them off of ebay. I was nearly outbid during the last minute but I managed to come back and win by 1 cent It would seem the poor fool put his maximum bid at $300.00 A friend of my dads just gave him a nice pair of JBL L56 speakers. Apperently the grills are a little messed up but other then that they are near perfect. Peace, Josh

Nice gear! Nice pad too btw. Does the speaker wire run over or under the french doors?? Peace, Josh
