Does your reciever have rca preamp outputs. I have been considering doing this to because of my move to a apartment soon. I believe with a couple of radio shack adapters it would be pretty easy to do. The only thing is that I would think that you would have to use the receiver to power a center channel.

I just wanted to see if anyone was still or at all interested. I don't know how the heck to ship these or they would be going on ebay. And most people in my area have no idea what Klipsch speaker's are. Thanks Again

Hello it has been a great long while since I have posted or payed everybody a visit. I am currently going thru a divorce and need to sell off my Klipsch's to pay bills. [:'(] I have a pair of HWO Heresy II's with the cane grills. The cabinets are in what I would have to say are great shape with a couple of minor flaws "I kept these out the kids reach". They don't have the risers and I oil them about once a year. I am asking a firm $400 for these because of the condition and the grills. The other pair is a black pair of KLF 20's that have some dings in the cabinets. The grills also have a couple of tears in them but from a distance of about 5 feet they look pretty nice. I have epoxied the one cabinet so that it does not rattle. We all know about the glue issues these had. You can't tell it was ever apart. The other cabinet may be a in need of it to but it was not near as bad as the other. I am asking $600 for these and may give on the price. I am located near Cedar Rapids IA. I can take some pics if any one shows interest. OH and I will not ship these and that is the reason they are not on Ebay. If anyone is also interested I have a pair of KSF 8.5's they have seen some kid wear to them. I also have a KSF C5 center channel if you are interested in these we can figure out a price. What would be the best way to store these if I can't sell them. They just won't fit into the one bedroom I am relocating to. PM me if interested and thanks for reading.

My Yamaha dvd player has that option. But this definately has a burnt out bulb. But that was my first thing I checked. I thought my kids had made it shut off some how. The only time I think it dims is if you put it on sleep.

I have a Yamaha RX-V870 and the display went out. It still worked otherwise so I looked to see if it was something simple. I found they used a little light bulb. I thought hey great easy fix I've seen these at good ol Radio Shack. Well I found the wattage rating etc and they did'nt match. I did find a website that carried it but said it was discontinued. So my question is how could I convert this to LED lighting. I tried a white led with the orange cover the light bulb had on it. But it was still white and did'nt light the display well. I would like to just use one and be done with it. But I have no idea really were to start. I thought it would be neat to change the display to blue instead of orange kinda like marantz. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Or just maybe a place to get the bulb cheap.

My brother and I took the rear of one of my klf 20's off with a little tapping and careful use of a heat gun. They missed 90% of the back when they glued mine with some sort of cheap hot glue. We also took the front off the same way. It was literally ready to fall right out. I still have no idea what was holding it. The key is to be very careful. The cabinets are very sturdy with the front and the back off. We used epoxy and carefully applied it to both the cabinet and the back. It took a day before I could test it. But it was well worth it. Just take your time is the best thing I can say. You can't see the glue on mine. We concluded liquid nails would be messy and not very effective it took approx 2 tubes of epoxy. I still need to get him back to help with the other one.

Yes it was a used unit. I did'nt think Kenwood had anything that cost over $300.00 either. I was shocked to find out that the remote was going to cost as much as 99% of there product line. I did'nt pay much for it so I can wait until I find something that will work as it has alot of potential for a beater.

My personal experience is they sound tinny. This is my main reason I don't like the new synery speakers. They are very bright and can sound harsh. I have heard other speakers that have the 20+k range before the synery's even came out and had drawn the same conclusion. You are inducing a very high frequency noise or vibration into the mix. My very limited education theory is that the vibration of the diaphragm at the higher frequencies starts to have a adverse effect on the lower ones. Causing breakup on the diaphragm itself. Kinda hard to explain but I'm sure this will really spark some replies. I really think if you are trying to get rid of dogs or bats in the neighborhood then its a good idea.

I found what I thought was a good deal on a Kenwood VR-3090 receiver. It came with a remote and I thought it would be a decent everyday home theater reciever. Upon getting it home I found out the remote was for a different model. The actual remote is in the $300 plus dollar range. Is it possible to get a palm pilot based remote control to work with this receiver. I noticed that everything is pretty much interactive on the original remote. All the surround functions, speaker setup, etc. all on the remote screen not the receiver I would like a cheaper alternative if possible. I might just end up selling it if I have to spend $300 for a remote that my kids will trash in 3 seconds. Help this will be my first dolby digital receiver so I am a bit excited.

The last guy said it exactly how it is. I worked for what was RPS when I was in college loading and unloading trailers. The goal is numbers and because if they have to pay some poor college kid the extra $7.50/hr for him to take a extra hour to pack that truck that is totally unacceptable. The way it was explained to me at the time was we can only have so many people to load a truck. Corp. will only alot for this many people for this amount of work. I used to load two-three full semi trailers a night with somewhere around 2500-3000 packages or so by myself. What did this teach me to pack everything to with stand a 5 foot hard fall at the very least. Or the force of another package falling on it because the load shifted. There were some poorly packed trailers and usually if it was a partial trailer alot of the stuff in the back was damaged. I have shipped alot of stuff and never once have had a complaint I shipped a pair of speakers the guy said was over packed. But he got them 100% intact. I have gotten poorly packed stuff from ebayers also. I think people need to think before they assume that it will be fine just thrown in a box with a few wraps of bubble wrap.

Well my cd player is not on the speaker like someone suggested. I think the oversampling makes alot of sense. I had yamaha changers in the past that never missed a beat and you could beat on them all day. I have hardwood floors so I don't have spikes. We used some epoxy after totally removing both sides of the enclosure. It was'nt to hard since the front was about ready to fall off. The back was'nt to hard behind. I think the cheap hot glue that was not even close to the joint was the big problem. Now to get the other one fixed. This weekend I might have some more time to mess with it so I'll see what stops the skipping.

I will have to try some of your suggestions. I think the vibrapod was kinda something I have seen before but did'nt know the name. I do agree the KLF's really have some hard to beat slam to them. I thought my brothers Cornwalls made the earth move. I had them turned up this weekend while the wife was outside with the rugrats. She said that the neighbor across the street made a comment. Now I know how to get back at him for his crappy car stereo and his shade tree motor repair. He just hates the type of music I play. So once I get the skip figured out good times will be had. Just kidding

Opps got crazy with the mouse sorry about the dual post.

It is a Nad model 5355. I have it on top of my dressor as this my bedroom sytem . It would've fallen off the speaker along time ago especially getting crazy with the Lil John music LOL. Any how I think the laser etc is clean it plays fine otherwise except when it gets about half volume on the receiver then the whole house is shaking and it starts to miss a beat or two then three. Where would you find this pad you we talking about to put on top of the cd player if I read that right. So this in theory would be like the perverbail blast shield for it. I never thought of putting something on the top. As this thing weights like 10 pounds and is build like a small tank.
