kde Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 KA-1000 THX B-gain = off phase = 0 , set to ear later.. where the bass sounds best / loudest at your seat. THX mode OFF Level = max Crossover = 80 Hz Use the lever in your receiver to match volume to the mains The 5.1 , 7.1, 9.2 all tell about how many channels are taken from the audio recording. the system you have is 7.1 as your receiver (most likely) has only one SUB OUT. You have 2 sub cabinets but they both get the same signal. if you add another sub it does not add a channel in the system , only more cone area to move air. ...I have the same system. My Mains are on top of my subs...no stands. Makes one hell of a tower. My center is above my 65" DLP TV. I had it on the floor but like the sound better with it up. Nice room! Trey -- I just set my KA1000 to the settings above. What do they mean? Boundary Gain Compensation / Phase / Level / Lowpass Crossover??? I want clean bass, not necessarily the hardest bass -- just clean bass that hits at the right time. The only setting I changed per your list above was I turned my "level" back some.

cornfedksboy Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I wouldn't swap out RF-7s for the KL-650s in a dedicated HT room. If you want to listen to music as well, well then the RF-7s would be better. You have a fantastic set-up as is and so long as you are dedicating it as a theater room, you are at or near the pinnacle of what most could hope to achieve. Timbre match your THX Ultra IIs all the way around, supply plenty of power and use a great processor, get your system balanced out and DON'T look back!!! Only looking for opinion, but what "great processor" and "plenty of power" source would you use for the THX Ultra IIs? Eh, it's a little out of my price range to speculate since I haven't demoed anything in that range, but I would want something around 200 watts X 7 channels. Something like a Parasound, Sunfire, or similar. Great processor would just be a "highly rated" pre/pro in the $1000.00 + range. I think what he's rockin out already meets those credentials.

Thanks for the reply -- I was interested because I run the Ultra II set up and have (in the past few months) gone from an AVR, to a UPA7 with an Onkyo pro and currently the UMC1... however I am not sure if I am fully satisfied. Think I could have gone with alittle more power, however the power may be fine, but I want alittle more from the processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I could have gone with alittle more power, however the power may be fine, but I want alittle more from the processor. I used an XPA5 along with an Integra 40.1 when I had the KL650's. I don't think there is more performance to be squeezed out of them than what that gave. I would question power with the UPA series though. It's a great amp, but I bet you could make a difference with an XPA. That being said, I was still left wanting more. Depending on room size and expectations, you might well be at the limits of what they can provide. For me, it was room size (at over 5000cf).

psg Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thank you Yes Epson tw-2900 screen size 290x170 cm Strange size... That would be 114x67 inches.. A 16:9 screen that is 114" wide is 131" in diagonal (huge!) but only 64 inches high. Yours looks closer to cinescope than 16:9 format... Anyway, nice setup!

tragusa3 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 For theater purposes, I don't see how that would be an "upgrade"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I agree. Dynamics are where it's at for HT, and the B&W are not going to deliver that better than what you currently have. Go big Heritage (La Scala, Klipschorn) or Jubilee if you want to upgrade for HT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryder Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 think to buy scala replace kl 650 it will be much better than kl 650 ? and work well with others ks 525 and other ultra 2 speakers? timbre match problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoman Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 La Scalas will not timbre match the THX at all. Don't do that. If you have to replace any speakers, replace all three fronts at a minimum. La Scala fronts with THX center would really sound off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
