I bet they would all look super on a large screen tv......

Wuzzer,

How is your HK730 working out with your RF7's?

So far so good! Its amazing what 35-40 watts can do with an incredibly efficient speaker. The 5 decibel increase in sensitivity over my previous RF-25s is huge. At 9 o'clock on the volume knob the RF-7s play as loud as the RF-25s did at 10-11 o'clock.

Dynamics are excellent. I think having a powered sub and the high-pass crossover set at 100hz helps the 730 quite a bit. I know the RF-7s have a pretty low impedence dip. Bass is incredibly tight and musical. I re-positioned my subwoofer because I was getting some pretty nasty bass cancellation at first. I now have it facing the right speaker instead of directly at me. I'd experiment with it facing the wall but I know my wife would hate the look of the back panel of the sub being visible. Its a wonder she let me get the RF-7s in the first place!

I looked into these discs and then decided against.

This is from a (very sarcastic) friend of mine:

I think someone at IMAX should really be tortured to death for their

transgressions. Go to amazon.com or some such site and look at the dvd

feedback. You may find 1 person who liked it, and every other comment is

along the lines of "there is almost no underwater footage in the Whales

DVD; were the IMAX photographers afraid of the water?" "why is the

Yellowstone footage almost entirely stupid historical re-enactments of

indians?" etc etc. Talk about the ultimate f-up to have access to the

best multi-media setup in the world, and waste it in that fashion. They

should just make a 1-hour "best of" DVD will all the non-BS scenes from

all the DVDs, and I would buy that.

I have two IMAX discs: Superspeedwaymach2 which has awesome sound, and the one about the International Space Station which is mediocre.
