Hello audiophiles:
Thinking of maybe going to separates and upgrading my front stage amp and wanted to tap into the large brain trust here at WB.
I am running Klipsch rf7 mains, a 64 center channel, and 82 wides for my front stage powered by an Emotiva XPA-5. My rear stage (rf82's and 52's) is...
Well, part of my seating.
I was driving by a furniture store that was going out of business, and popped in. I realized that I have been so obsessed w/ finishing my HT, that I never though about good seating.
My living room consists of 2 Henredon couches (back when their stuff was made in...
Its ridiculously cheap (clearance saled at $299) and I have been very pleased w/ my XPA-5.
I am running my front stage off the XPA-5 (Klipsch RF-7 mains, rc 64 center and RF-82 wides).
I am upgrading my rear wides to RF-82's and going w/ rf-52's as surrounds. I was planning to use my Onkyo...
Am running them to my rear Klipsch RF-82's:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Professional-Audio-Grade-Flat-Ribbon-Speaker-Cable-/310340340238?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item4841b9ca0e
Hi all. Vanns is having a 30% off sale and I am thinking of upgrading my rears.
Right now I have Klipsch RF-7' mains, rc 64 center, and RF-82 wides. My living room opens to my kitchen and hallway, and the divider is close behind my listening area. I have some Klipsch RF-52's shoehorned in...
In my search for cables, I ran across the Audioholics article that measured that in fact cables do matter (at least Canare 4S11 was found to be measurably better than 12 g rip cord).
Thus I am going w/ the Canare (and WBT plugs for my mains) for my loudspeakers.
However does cable matter...
Sorry for so many questions, but I am down to 2 cables, either Belden 5000UE 12 g or Canare4S11.
The advantage of the Canare 4 way is, according to the BJ site, "when conventionally wired, star quad speaker cable has the advantage of reducing the EM field around the cable, which will tend to...
I see many many higher priced speaker cables with very nice spades and banana plugs but is it not possible to get a better (and more reliable) connection by simply using raw cable and properly threading it into the binding post?
That is just one less possible connection that can go bad (or at...
Right now I am running 12 gauge zip cord to my front stage, and 14 gauge rat shack to my rears, so I am thinking about upgrading. I want to keep my budget under $400 if possible.
Here is my system:
*Mitsubishi 82 inch DLP TV (professionally calibrated by an ISF tech). My room has a cut out and...
