    Kilpsch question

    One of my RF-82 magnetic grills had a magnet that didn't work pretty much right out of the box. I emailed Klipsch, they told me to go through my dealer (Magnolia). Magnolia said they couldn't do anything so I remailed Klipsch who sent me out a new grille. Take from that what you will, I...

    listening room: should I use it, what to expect.

    I got some dimensions. Not great at sketching so let me see if this helps. BTW: this is a different room, changed my mind about the long, skinny room. Rectangular 12 x 15 The 12 foot sides have doorways right in the middle so no good. So the system will be set up along the 15 foot sides...

    SVS: Which one is better; the PC12NSD or the 25-31 PSI

    Well my friend did not want to give back my klipsch. He was willing but I could tell he doesn't want to. I don't think I'll take it back (he hasn't paid me yet but delayed payment was part of our agreement). From what I'm reading it seems the PC12NSD is worth the extra $70 and is a better sub...

    SVS: Which one is better; the PC12NSD or the 25-31 PSI

    Thanks for the replies. I assume you're referring to the 25-31 and not the PC12NSD with that quote. If so what would the PC12NSB's "model number" be using the same formula (low end extention - height). Any thoughts on the Klipsch or the Orb Super8. BTW: I had the Klipsch in a very small...

    SVS: Which one is better; the PC12NSD or the 25-31 PSI

    I was thinking about getting a new sub for my new place. I was looking as SVS offerings and I'm wondering is the slightly less tall and less expensive 25-31 PSI as good as the PC12NSD? Info: medium sized room (can get dimensions around the first after I pay the rent) with door sized openings...

    listening room: should I use it, what to expect.

    Would pics be more useful than measured dimensions? Should the stuff be in there when I take the pics. Also, the phone guy is coming on the day I move in. I have to decide where to install the jacks. One has to be in the A/V room for the DirecTV. The other will be in my office. I can't afford...

    listening room: should I use it, what to expect.

    Not sure about the living room but I'm thinking 15x15 or close. I wouldn't swear it was perectly square but close. It would be more suitable for entertaining other people but I'm all about the sound. The other rooms are two small bedrooms, a kitchen and a bath. What is tunneling and how do we...

    listening room: should I use it, what to expect.

    I'm moving in a couple of weeks and considering where to put the a/v stuff. One possibility is a room that was a porch on the side of the house. The room by my best guesstimate is 7 feet high (very low lying room) by 10 feet wide (at most) by 25 feet long. It has two doorways (each side in the...

    Matching Center Dilemma (and other HT ???)

    Wow, OK I didn't know. I've seen Maximum Home Theater as a Klipsch dealer but didn't find much info. I thought they might be more of a custom installer. I based my comment on that I hadn't read much about Tampa audio shops on forums like these, when I searched for dealers for certain...

    Matching Center Dilemma (and other HT ???)

    How about these Klipsch models: Center RCX-4 Surround RSX-4 The base allows me to point them up or down as needed. The price and small size appeal to me. They are from the same Reference series but I'm not sure if they are designed to match. Since they are quite a bit smaller would it...

    Matching Center Dilemma (and other HT ???)

    Thanks for the replies. Now that I know that the center and surrounds are available online (I could never find the RF-82s for sale online by an official e-tailer online) I think I'll go with those and try to angle the center upward. I want to have true 5.1 channel options (as opposed to a...

    Matching Center Dilemma (and other HT ???)

    I own Klipsch RF-82 Fronts. This is all I have because I have a very small room. I'm happy with them and would like to keep them. However in two months I will probably be moving to a place where I can set up my home theater. Unfortunately I live in the Tampa, FL area (well its only...

    Need Reasonable Center Channel that is no more than 3 inches high and 6 inches deep.

    My Orb Mod 2 fits under my TV. Don't think its quite three inches high though.

    CD's Vs IPOD for home stereo

    I'd love to figure out how to hook an ipod up to my stereo without losing quality. First, if your files on the Ipod are encoded in anything other than a lossless format you'll lose quality. I'd do them in .wav myself, thats the CD info downloaded straight into the Ipod, no compression or...

    Orb Speaker setup issues, questions

    Ballpark numbers are great, thank you. As far as speaker placement I'm not an expert but I personally try to avoid blockage whenever possible. So I would mount the right speaker on the wall a foot higher if you can do the same with the left speaker (you don't want sound traveling up and down...

    Orb Speaker setup issues, questions

    Do you know how long it took before the system sounded better? Again from what I've picked up here and there the surrounds are often left with little to do. However since DPL2 is a format from the processor instead of a source (like a movie with DD or DTS) I would think it would send more to...

    Orb Speaker setup issues, questions

    I just got "The People's Choice" system myself. My receiver is not the same though (Denon 987). To address your subwoofer issue check the "phase" knob on the sub. If your sub is in the front of the listening position it should be at 0 (degrees). If it is in the back of the room it should be...

    Orb Speaker Questions

    Thanks again. From what I read on the site the sub is 25 pounds and if I want to send them back the shipping is on my dime so it might be a bit more. It is $9 to send them out. I went ahead and took the plunge and ordered "The People's Choice". Mod 2 fronts and center, Mod 1 rears and a...

    Orb Speaker Questions

    I'm getting too much cymbal and the dreaded "ssss" right now and the sound is too overwhelming. Vocals aren't as up front as I would like. The guitar, maybe lower midrange seems to drown them out a bit. It just seems like the vocals should be further up front. I used some EQ (-3 at 500 Hz, -2...
