same here. im still working on it though!

 

Not still working on it but if it were not for help from people here we would definitely be using something else for music. 

 

The info here is worth a ton of money not being wasted just trying things, but the real benefit is the people, and all the experience over the years from everyone. :emotion-55:

As others Said sure there are other larger forums where you can get other useful info in this hobby and im sure many of us have but this is the one and only that is more like an extended family. I belong to AVS and Audioholics but this is something special. I have made some great friends and had enormous help throughout the years from everyone on here (many that I talk/text on a daily basis). Met a few members and feel comfortable showing my ignorance in subjects that you all can help me with. My wife and I plan to start with our first kid next year. That kid will grow up with Klipsch and a movie theater in his house because of all your help. I grew up playing Zelda on Nintendo on a 19” zenith TV that was in a wooden cabinet. My son (wishful here) will grow up with a 162.9” AT Screen and Klipsch audio behind it. I can’t wait to relive all those classic movie movements with them on the big screen in our own home.

Sidenote: I also experience Klipsch the first time at my friends father’s house. He had a Klipsch Bookshelf speaker system with a large Klipsch sub (I can’t remember the models) paired with a onkyo receiver and large Pioneer Tube tv. He had Braveheart playing on VHS and I remember the simulated surround sound quite well. the first time I heard a movie theater like sound in someone’s room was the same person house and playing none other than The fellowship of the ring on DVD then. Blew my mind and I purchased my quintet system and started from there. Such an amazing hobby/obsession.

 The first picture is one of my sons rooms,

set of 2.1  up on the shelf. Notice how I'm careful with the camera Imangle not to show their dirty rooms as much. Also, he is 17 that bottle of J&B is purely for aesthetics he liked the giant bottle.  The old bar top video game he bought off craigslist for $10 and just installed 7000 arcade classics on it with a raspberry pi . Not sure where he's putting it but it's not going to stay on his desk. Trying to get the others to load but it says they are bigger than 2 MB for some reason

They would love to have a bigger speakers in their room and all talk about who gets to inherit the speakers when I die, not sure how I feel about that since I'm only 47. They all go with me and my wife when we go drive for subwoofers or speakers to Kansas City or Chicago  and we make a little trip out of it. 6 kids ages 28, 26, 17, twin 16's and last one is 14.  Scrappy, I bet you already are thinking about speakers for that new little addition you guys have in your house. :)

 My oldest daughter likes mid century modern so I'm  talking my son-in-law into a pair of "the fifteens"  mostly so I can come listen to them .

 My second oldest daughter is in Kuwait right now and I just want her butt home safe to listen to whatever she wants to .
