  1. Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell It's pretty much one song anyway.
  2. Hey man, I had about the same $ amount in mind when I started a HT replacement. I bought one year old speakers. Ksf-8.5's, sc-1, ksw-12, and sb-1's. I bought a new Yamaha rx-v630 receiver. I have no regrets about any of it, although I am still looking for a rear center speaker. It is just enough to let me know how nice a Klipsch system can be and to want bigger, stronger, faster, etc. (Calm down and be happy with what you got (for now)). If you get a chance, compare the Yamaha HTR series with their RX-V series. good luck
  3. In Jaws...The conversation of the USS Indianapolis makes my skin crawl. You cann't handle the truth
  4. Why do the rear bias-ply tires on my '69 'cuda keep melting? Perhaps to much horsepower is just to much horsepower. (?)
  5. I went throught the same decision when I got my new Klipsch speakers. Life is kind of short to agonize over something like this, so I made my (2) rear cables the same length and the (3) front cables the same lenght. It's only cable. When I opened up my ksf-8.5's and saw the wire inside, I started to wonder if anything matters. It was REAL small. Good luck
  6. "Now honey, don't you remember us taking about this?" Sorry man, just a thought.
  7. I like my new to me ksf-8.5's, but has anyone put it a single K-1083-SB from an RF-3 into an 8.5? Both are 8" woofers. Just curious at what might happen. I cannnot seem to keep my hands off stuff. Thanks BTW.... I enjoyed reading about the internal re-wire on the 5.5's. I had to take my KSF's apart to repair a loose connection, and I was amazed at the diminutive size of the wire inside. I might try the re-wire myself. Has anyone done it to the KSF-8.5's?
  8. Hey man, I just bought a Yamaha rx-v630. There was a big difference between it and the Denon of similiar price. The Denon kind of sounded bad in comparison. Now that's just my ears in the Tweeter store playing through Synergy speakers. The Yamaha is night and day compared to my older Pioneer. Congrat's on the gift of Heresey. Good luck, Chris
  9. FYI weights for 4' x 8' x 3/4" thick sheets: 7-ply plywood - 70 lbs particle board - 86 lbs MDF board - 105 lbs.
  10. Good afternoon, I cann't answer your question, but I recently replaced my Pioneer 308 with a Yamaha rx-v630, and it's great. Music is cleaner (through the DVD), and movies are a new experience. I have found myself watching / listening to country musid videos it sounds so good. I listened to several in the $500 price range at Tweeter, and this one won hands down. From what I could hear, it would have taken $1000 to have made a significant difference. It made quite a difference in the low end (bass) sharpness. I'm still learning how to set the Yamaha up. It works with my Synergy speakers. I am also shopping for a (Synergy) rear suround. good luck
  11. All the talk about adding the woofer to KG-3.5's for use as a center has got me thinking. Would I do myself any good by adding a second woofer to my KSF-8.5's that I use as my mains? What would have to be done about the crossover? A new woofer is still avilable for around $90. Thanks a bunch, Chris
  12. In comparing receivers, what is the linear damping factor and is 80+ a good number? Thanks, Chris
