I've Fallen in Love With My Mistress
What a dangerous topic/subject!I love my HT system and movies are just like being at the theater. However, as much as I love my HT system, my 2 channel is as solid as ever. In my system, my HT just can't do what my S.E.T amp can do. And when it co... 
ROTEL VS YAMAHA RXV1500
With your size room and sensitivity of your speakers, I think that you'd benefit more from getting an amp with a lot more power. I think your Adcom is 125watts? Try something out with at least 300watts, 400watts would be much better. The Yamaha wi... 
Aaaargh. Please help Viridian select a new TV.
"Surprisingly when I told the wife I was buying a bigger TV she told me I was mad, but when it arrived she immediately said it wasn't so big..."KT, how true, how true. 
Aaaargh. Please help Viridian select a new TV.
I also sit 12ft from my TV and have no light issues. I just bought a 71" Samsung 1080P DLP and am extremely happy with it, the picture is awesome. At 12ft, anything less than 70" will be dissappointing for getting the theater experience for movies...

Upgrade 20 years old crossovers

Efficient Dynamic Speaker with low-end punch?
Klipsch Legend series, specifically the KLF-20 & KLF-30. Do a google search and you will find that it is well regarded a great rock & roll speaker.BTW - I love my KLF-20's 
Klipsch Chorus I's tweeters are not working
Allsmiles,I would open things up and check the xover and wiring to the tweeter. Yes, you need to take the woofer out to get to the xover. Since you are not getting sound from both, I highly doubt that something is wrong with both xovers. I think t...

Klipsch speakers sound better than ever
Rolando,I upgraded my Chorus II's early last year myself. It's not that hard if you know how to desolder and solder. If you don't, you better let somebody else do it.I charge $225 to do a pair of Chorus II's.Mike 
Upgrading Klipsch La Scala crossovers
Ihcho,The xover on the LaScala as well as the other xover upgrades with show themselves mainly in the highs and mids. The lows are improved but it's not as much as the highs and mids.As far as the KLF-20's go, I can tell you from personal experien...

Undertow,You are right, I do Klipsch xovers and other brands of speakers xovers. However, I haven't done any heritage Klipsch speakers because as long as DeanG is doing them, that's the cats meow.Improving your speakers will take your system a LON...
