Just want to say "Hi"

[NastyHabits]

Greetings all. I've finally started back down the road to surround sound heaven you all helped me get into several years ago. I just picked up a Rotel RSP-976 surround processor and Rotel RB-976 6 channel amplifer. (This was what I had picked out 6 years ago, 2 short days before I got outsourced.[:'(] ) Still a worthy addition to my current system:

Klipsch Heresy Front channel speakers
Klipsch Heresy Rear channel speakers

Klipsch KSP-C6 Center Channel

Velodyne SPL Subwoofer

Panasonic 34" Direct View HDTV

Rotel RB-976 6 Channel Amplifier (bridged for fronts and center)

Yamaha MX-2 Stereo Amplifier

Rotel RSP-976 Surround Processor

Panasonic DVD A-7 Player

Monster Power HTS 5000 Power Center

Homebuilt PC integrated with system.

With my recent additions, all I can say is "wow". Now, I realize that my humble system can barely hold a candle to what many of you have. Still, I live in New York City in a small apartment with my gear. Oh, and I'm single. So I get to play and/or watch what and how and when I want. (Ok, I have neighbors, but today I have off, and nobody else is home, so I'm cranking it!)

Anyway, after months of mega-overtime, I finally can let the moths out of the wallet and fix the weak spot in my system, the center channel. Anybody have a old Heresy lying around gathering dust? Give me a shout,... please.

Thanks

Heresys were some of the first Klipsch speakers I ever heard and made a lasting impression on me! One of my best friends owns a pair but I doubt you could pay him enough to give them up, and I don't blame him. They are incredible speakers and still outperform many speakers their size today, IMO.

Good Luck finding a center speaker and I will keep my eyes peeled for ya!

Welcome back.

Glad someone picked up my nick's cultural origin. The WRX is a nod to my second-childhood. (Like Klipsch Heritage series, it routinely embarrases more expensive cars. I eat BMW's for lunch.)

The Heresy home theater came about because I had two I bought back in the '70's. Always loved Klipsch speakers: dreamed of K-horns, wanted Cornwalls, but bought my Heresy's for $600 on sale. (This was back when $600 was a lot of money). Flash forward 25 years, I buy a 16:9 HD TV and I gotta go surround sound. I'm cruising through the Klipsch catalog trying to decide which surround speakers to buy, when someone on this board tells me about a woman who had a pair for sale for $250. Best of all, she's in Brooklyn. I call her. She doesn't want these "big, old, wood things that don't go with anything". Feng shui in Brooklyn, who'd a thunk it.

My system is just about perfect for a small space. The sound is awesome. It's especially impressive when there's something good on either PBS-HD or Discovery Channel HD. For demo purposes I use the music on the opening credits of "Blow" (a Rolling Stones song of course!). You feel like you can take a walk through the band. It's amazing. With a better center channel, my system will be "perfect".
