  1. The Bebe, Replied a few days ago; apparently I didn’t verify a successful send-off. Would this be work an electronic/stereo shop would perform? I have a highly recommended shop fairly close, not sure what the price range should be though
  2. Stopped by my aunt’s home earlier this week and noticed a silver face plated receiver covered sitting on a garage shelf and covered in dust. My aunt said it had been sitting there for years and that I could have it or toss it out. Cleaned it up a bit when I got home and was able to finally read the model #...JVC JR-S81W, circa 1977/1978. Hooked it up to a pair of KG.5 speakers I was using a surrounds and I honestly wasn’t expecting much. Wow, this may have been the most wrong I’ve ever been. The sound was full and the 5 1/4” woofer mover more than I’ve ever seen; not just a little, I’m talking serious excursion. I’ve had these hooked up to a Denon 2805, Denon E400, and Yamaha RX-V 2080. Non have come close to the sound of the JVC. Anyway, 2 thumbs up for vintage, and for the first time truly hearing how good KG.5s can sound. I’m thinking I Should hook it up to the KLF-30s later this week!
  3. Hmmmm. Thanks for the info. My ears may just be bad, but I don’t hear any difference in sound between 100hz -200hz on the low pass sub filter. However I do hear difference between 100hz and 50hz. Thanks again for the response.
  4. Hey all—been inactive a while! Just seeing if anyone knows what the sub out x over on the powered monitors is set to (if any). I’m used to using the sub out on a receiver and setting the sub x over all the way up; since the receiver handled the bass management, it was a no brained. However I cannot find any literature regarding the r-15pm bass management. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
  5. Thanks for all the info...just committed to the kv3 for, the price was within my limited "non essential-home budget". Should be picking it up this week--will post thoughts after I spend some time with it and after I finish fixing the basement from the flooding we experienced.
  6. That is a good strategy, could be an option. I used to own a C7 but sold it years ago--I remember it being more laid back than the klf 20s I used to own--almost out of timber with the fronts. I have kg.5 as surrounds to the klf30 and, to my ears, sound better than the s6 did. That's really what sparked interest in the kv line of center channels. As I have bob crites' mids in the 30s I'm thinking about upgrading the tweeters to Bob's titanium diaphragms--including th kv-3 if purchased. Love Bob's mids--no titanium mid swap out as no desire exists to mod crossovers.
  7. If Mark could find one for $100 I'd be all over it LOL! I happen to come across either the KV-3 or KSF-c5 for around that price.
  8. What center channel would you recommendation for KLF-30? Thoughts between KSF-C5 and KV-3? Budget can't swing klfc7 etc. Thanks!!
  9. When you get a chance, would you share your thoughts regarding Audyssey and 2 channel audio (16/24 bit 44.1/88.2/96 etc---doesn't matter whatever you normally listen to). Although my Denon E-400 w /Audyssey MultiEQ/DynamicEQ is in the top of Denon's LOWER end line, I am experiencing brightness for music only (HT is fantastic). Not sure if is the receiver or the Audyssey technology. Thanks!
  10. The KLF-C7 Center looks awfully organic :-)

    Sound Card Help

    Hi all! Does anyone know if I can somehow add a sound card with optical or coaxial out to my Lenovo G560 laptop (p6100 processor, windows 7)? I want to pass through 24/96 or 24/192 flac files to a Denon AVR-2805 and am looking for the best way to do it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, Pat
