Good morning, Have any of you fine community members utilized an RC-3 with pair of RB-5s? I am in search of a single RB-5 to match the pair I purchased a few weeks ago but am considering settling with the RC-3. Any thoughts/opinions welcome.

Fantastic info, THANK YOU! So this chart would lead a reasonable person to believe that uncompressed audio via multichannel outputs is available on certain models (Sony BDP-S550)

My first powered Sub was a KSW 12--decent for movies if you can get one for a GOOD price, but is definately no contender for music. The Sub10/12 are much better subs.

Great info, It looks as though I may just pick up a BD player and allow it to maximize the capabilities of DD and DTS while using a sacd/DVD-A player for high res. audio. Unless of course there are plans to engineer BD with multichannel outs

If an adapter of this natureis engineered, I have self patented this idea[]

I apologize if I was misleading, but I don not have a player yet. I am however researching everything associated with 1080P and uncompressed audio, and what I can still use regarding my current gear. I have yet to locate any BD players with multichannel outputs that will send uncomressed audio (as in DVD-A/SACD); Hence me thinking a company would jump on the opportunity to engineer a HDMI to Coax/Toslink for receivers without HDMI capability (If the Coax/toslink input would pass uncompressed audio as long as it origionated from the HDMI out of the source).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the C-7 are rated down to 70hz (sealed design). The Sub 12 is nice, what is your budget like?

So even if the uncomressed signal leaves the player via HDMI out, and a HDMI to coax/toslink adapter does exist, the receiver still will not receive the uncrompressed signal? Or is is just when the player initially sends the signal through coax/toslink out? Doing my mest to try and find the "out" of not having to purchase a receiver with HDMI just yet.[]

Good morning ALL, Does anyone make a HDMI to Coax/toslink adapter? Yes I am trying to find a way to get Dolby truHD/DTS HD to my receiver without compression...Thanks -Pat

I would love to watch flight of the phoenix with the KW-120, I think only the minibeast was running during that time.

LOL, good clip

HA! Definately the Home audio version of Dennis Leary's Demolition Man rant in the sewers of San Angeles. "I'm the enemy because I like to think. I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy that could sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs or the side order of gravy fries? I want high cholesterol. I would eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese. Okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigars the size of Cincinnati in the nonsmoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading P_ _ _ _ _y magazine. Why? Because I might suddenly feel the need to. Okay, pal?"

I'm really curious to know how they compare to your RF-7s, they are very good lookers. Klipsch "A Legend in Sound...and Carpentry"

...I am probably going about this the wrong way b/c I am trying to spend as little as possible on a receiver and still have the best sound from which ever Klipsch speakers I buy. ...I want the RB-81's as front speakers but may end up buying the RB-61's b/c of the price. The price of the receiver will help decide which speakers I buy RB-81s are very capable speakers, especially if you plan on "rockin out"; they will provide a fuller sound and be more pronounced in the lower freqencies. Confirmation=RB-81 + 1. Denon/HK 2. Yammy 3. Pioneer 4. Sony IMO. Regardless, congrats. Its always nice to have the subject of what you will be purchasing be audio related.

Klipsch did a very good job with the current reference line-up, especially on the surrounds. Although they resemble strong charactoristics from Klipsch's current KS-525-THX surrounds, the last model to come close was the infamous KSP-S6 surrounds, which to this day draws an ubelievablely high re-sale value. The new RS-XX are improved, in my opinion, from the previous surrounds. If you havent had a chance to hear the RS-62 they are one of the best surrounds klipsch has ever designed. That being said, xxxx rolls down hill to the RS-52/42.

I'm sure you may have heard that some people prefer direct radiating speakers for music and Dipole/bipole/WDST type speakers for movies. Although both types are acceptable, RS-XX speakers may be better suited than the rb-51 to accurately reproduce both "diffused" and direct sound

Compliments on your decor; looks like a comfortable living space. If you mount a speaker above the window, is the wall directly across the window capable of sustaining a wall mounted surround speaker at that hight as well? 7 ft will not be an issue and should provide a very pleasing sound as surround speakers are intended to be placed higher than one may be lead to believe.

What a compliment on their beautiful finish

Wahoo!! My wife Jaime and our neighbor (new Klipsch owner) will be attending next year's pilgrimage with me if it is in Indy...That Pizza was great by the way, where was it from if you don't mind me asking?

Welcome to the forum! My neighbor recently purchased a quintet/sub-10/yamaha set-up and is quite pleased. Have the channel levels/delay etc been adjusted? Also does your receiver allow different crossover settings between the center and the fronts/surrounds?

Nice umlaut on the <$1,000 choice

I don't know what your budget is, but there are active subwoofers out there (new and used) that won't break the bank. Whatever you decide, passive or active designs require amplification and connection via your reciever's sub pre-out; then its just a matter of either 1. Going from the receiver to amp, via (line level inputs) to sub (speaker level inputs) for a passive design or 2. Going from your reciever's sub pre-out to the subwoofer's sub in (line level) for an active design.

Hey not a probem, I was actually picking Michael Hurd's Brain regarding subwoofer box/driver design last week. I ask a lot of questions because "You don't know what you don't know."

The Samsung HT-SK5 (complete) was a Home Theater in A Box (HTiB). This subwoofer does its best while being complemented by the HT-SK5 media center. The sub has speaker level inputs only; meaning the option to connect two speakers (Hereseys) via speaker level outputs is not available. Using it in a 5 way theater system without the main HT-SK5 unit will not work either as it lacks a subwoofer line level input. Although anything is possible with time, money, knowledge, and action, integrating this sub may cost more than its worth. If I'm missing something, someone please chime in.

The below listed link is for, as Inventor suggested, flat panel solutions. There are a variety of LCRs to choose from, including in-wall if that is an option you are interested in exploring. My only experience with Klipsch LCR speakers pertained to the Quintet SL; and if those sounded good, imagine what the Icon, Reference, or THX LCR speakers have to offer. Klipsch RT-10/12D subwoofers offer auto room correction, a very useful feature. Klipsch states "...By utilizing a patent-pending auto room correction process, formally known as Adaptive Room Correction™ or ARC, and the included calibration microphone, the RT-10d ensures ideal performance in every listening area at the touch of a button. It also comes with an IR sensor for operation with select learning remotes or control systems (visit our subwoofer FAQ section for more details)." http://www.klipsch.com/products/lists/lcr.aspx
