They both have dual 6.5 drivers, heck they even look similar. My local Best Buy has a whole bunch of the Klipsch, and I heard them in the store. They sound pretty good. The RTi8s are of course more expensive, and I had owned them before and liked them but they were ddefective (I think there...

I think the 1016 is missing the front flip-up cover of the 1015. At least from the pics I've seen of it.

Sorry, somehow, double posted.

If anyone can give me some pointers, I'd appreciate it.

Well, I get staff discount at BestBuy/Future shop. So if I'm going to buy anything, it'll be from them. Granted, they don't sell really nice speakers, but I take it that the Polk, JBL, and Athena stuff is more than addequate for a semi-beginner setup. I was just hoping that someone with...

If you're going to go with the 1015 or any pioneer, make sure you have a nice sub. The low end of the receiver isn't quite as thick as HK or Denon.

Nope, not room placement. The right speaker sounded dull, switched it around, that same speaker sounded like crap. Did the same for 2 more sets of RTi8s and the same deal with one speaker sounding like a HTIB speaker. The last set sounded closer but no cigar. Even the demos we have at my...

That was a while ago. Unfortunately, my store doesn't have any stock at the moment. Also, they disconnected the switching system which allows you to compare speakers. Pretty stupid thing to do but then again pretty much all Future Shops are run by morons. :rolleyes:

I have bought 3 pairs of RTi8s so far (and returned them), and none of the speakers match each other. It's not like the serial numbers are too far apart. One speaker would always sound "off" from the other. I've used several receivers to make sure it wasn't the amp. I think either Futureshop...

Hi, I work for Futureshop and give you a great deal if you're interested. Are you in the Greater Toronto Area?

Ok, when I bought my sub, I wasn't sure where I was going to place it, so, to make sure I wouldn't have to compromise, I bought the longest sub cable I could buy (25ft). Anyways, I found that the best bass comes from just a few feet away from my receiver, near a wall. Now the question is...

Why not get a really good, expensive projector!!? Look ma! No burning or severe heat issues.

The work is by Alan Moore, who doesn't write 'superhero' stories. I think V trumps all over Daredevil and Punisher, both of which were popcorn flicks aimed at teens. V is a more sophisticated film which caters to an audience with knowledge of current events and politics. It's a very...

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to listen to them again before I make my decision. Last time, I don't recall anything about the RTi4 jumping out at me. It does have a woofer, but I have my Velodyne pumping out better bass than what the RTis can dream of. As for the CSi5. Wow! That is...

Blu-ray's success IMO is entirely dependent on PS3. My first DVD player was my PS2 in oct 2000. At that time, DVD players were almost as expensive as the PS2 itself but not out of a regular Joe's reach. However, PS3 will be significantly cheaper than any Bluray or HDDVD player when it's out...

Well my front will definately be timbre matched. I plan on getting a CSi3 to match the RTi8s. I've listened to both the Athena and the Polks, and I can't really tell much of a difference between the two. Mind you this was in a Future Shop store. With the B1, it just seems like you get a lot...

I'm in need of some decent surrounds. My fronts are RTi8s. And even though it seems logical to get the RTi4s, I am a college student and the Athenas seem to have very similar specs and costs $100 cheaper. Any ideas?

Or you guys can just wait for the PS3 - which will support the latest HDMI and Blu-Ray. That's what I'm gonna do. No way am I paying $1000+ to watch HD movies.

Thanks. I just wanted to clarify. I've had 2 people ask how I did that. Well, my Denon has a DVI and component out. I used a DVI-to-component adapter (my Sony XBR has no Digital inputs, and this is how I connect my player anyways) from the 1910 to the tv. I also used the Monster V3 cables from...

The Ultra line is very nice. My main gripe is their price. It seems to me like to get any kind of good performance out of Monster Cables, you'd have to go to 3rd stage or Ultra. But at that point, you can do so much better with a little research (Blue Jeans, Axiom, etc). I am not at all happy...
