As long as this has risen from the dead, how do you like the 3.5s as rears with the 5.2s?? I'm curious how you would describe the difference in the two.

Thanks Malcom, Can you explain why you prefer the spades? In looking at it, it seems to me that you would get more/better contact with banans?

Thanks SunnySal for sharing. I have heard elsewhere that they are "not bright" which is one of the things that made me look at them. As you I'm sure have heard before, Klipsch has a certain reputation for brightness, as does Yamaha (my receiver). Arthur, I'll check out the Cobalt

http://www.ixos.co.uk/interconnects/ I'm looking at these folks. They have some interesting speaker wire designs, and I've heard good stuff about them on other fourms. Anyone have any experience with IXOS? Probably use the locking bananas on both ends

I currently have bare wire pushed thru the hole in the lugs on my KG series speakers. I'm shopping for get new wire but can't decide on which way to terminate them. Any opinions on pins vs banans vs spades?

I got the Philips DVD 963SA and I love it. Great picture quality Upsamples redbook CD to 96 or 192 SACD Under $400 delivered if you shop around

I bought my first pair of Klipsch KG's at The Good Guys 8 or 9 years ago. I know that they are more focused on A/V than Best Buy is, but still, certainly not a "high end audio store". If they didn't carry them, I most likely would have never heard a pair of Klipsch speakers, much less owned them. I don't see the problem.

I don't even see a RX V480 listed on the Yamaha site. http://yamaha.com/cgi-win/webcgi.exe/gAVR00010 The RX-V line is separated into 2 groups; the 1300, 2300, 3300 are the higher end group with the 3300 at the top running 130W X 6 channels + 25W X 2 effect channels. The 430, 530, 630 & 730 are the bottom half with the 430 the very bottom of the barrel. So, if that's the one you have, I'm not too surprised that it lacks something. I'd suggest looking for a good used 2 channel amp for your stereo needs and relegate that RX_V to movies. With the plethora of people upgrading from 2 channel to 6 or 7 channel systems, there are plenty of choices on good 2 cahnnel amps on the used market at very cheap prices. Just do the research and know what you are buying.

Thanks I'll do that. I still haven't figured out why it won't keep playing after I exit set up. I sent an e-mail to Yamaha c/s, we'll see what they say.

I recently got a Yamaha RX-V2300 AV Receiver. When I initially set it up, I only had a pair of KG 3.5 as mains and a sub, so in the set-up menu I set the center, surrounds & rear to "None". My KG 2.2V Center arrived yesterday, so I hooked it up right away of course. I went back into Speaker Set and put the center back to LRG. The 2.2 started playing immediatly... until I exited the Speaker Set menu, at which time it immediatly Stopped playing! I went back into the Speaker Set menu and it started playing again, and when I exited it stopped again. I've gone in & out every way I can find & I don't see any place to "save changes" but I can't get it to play the center without being in the Speaker Set menu. Help?? Thanks

I was in the same price range and went with the B&W ASW-600 10". I auditioned it against the Velodynes and found it tighter & faster.

Mmmm good news The seller said that he double checked and it IS the 2.2V

I didn't get a chance to audition the SVS, but I did get to hear the Velodynes against the B&Ws. Big difference... in comparison, the Velodyne sounded like the car boomin down the street analogy mentioned above. The B&W (ASW600) sounded almost like there wasn't even a sub there. It blends so well, it's more like an extension rather than an entity of it's own. Very tight and musical. I'm quite happy with the choice. I have the crossover set pretty low (55/60) as I don't want the Klipcsh to compete. BTW, it does get up & move when called upon.

OK Where are all the Yamaha fans? HTR 5590, RX-V1300 both in the low to mid $500's on-line. Even last year's RX-V2200 is $580/600. I know some say they are bright or forward and that the Klipsch are also bright so it makes a too bright combo... Hogwash I've had Yamaha/Klipsch 2-Channel combo for 8 years and loved every minute. I went shopping for a 6.1 A/V receiver and tried HKs, Denon 3803, Onkyo, Marrantz, Pioneer and every time I could A/B them on Klipsch against a Yamaha, it was no contest. Maybe it's me & I like just the match-up, but I don't think so. There is a richness in this match you don't find everywhere. Whichever way you are leaning, Go Listen before you decide.
