    Are all CD players created equal?

    I need a cd player, no dvd etc, just a plain old cd player. Can I just get a cheap one from Circuit City etc or will I notice a sound quality difference? ----------------- Klipsch RB-35 bookshelf speakers Harman Kardon 3375 Receiver

    What do you think of Klipsch speakers?

    Especially the new Reference Series (like the bookshelf models). I've asked on the Klipsch board but it's pretty obvious what everybody there thinks :) I was just wondering how they rate compare to other brands. I just bought some RB-35s...

    Best bookshelf... Between $1000 and $3000 a pair. Opinions.

    What about the Klipsch RB-75? What do you guys think of those?

    Bookself Speakers for 800-1K

    The new Klipsch RB-75's are supposed to be amazing. They use an 8" Cerametallic woofer and 1.75 tweeter. The SAME tweeter used on the RF-7. They're about $1000

    White noise when playing cd..

    I'm using some Klipsch RB-35's and an Onkyo TX8511 receiver, and also a Sony CD player from about 1987. When I turn up the volume I can hear lots of white noise/static in the background. Is this normal? Do different cd players have better sound quality or are they all the same? Thanks Mike

    Onkyo TX-8511 or H/K 3375?

    I bought the 8511 a month ago and am sending it back because it doesn't have a subwoofer output. The spring clips in the back were also annoying. One of the nice things is it has 9 buttons on the front for each radio preset.. I'm waiting for the HK 3375 to get here on Friday, will let you know...

    6 ohm speakers will they hurt my receiver?

    I hope this isn't a dumb question, but will using 6 ohm speakers hurt my receiver? I'm just waiting for my new speakers to get here and am using some Aiwa bookshelf ones with my new Onkyo receiver. There's a switch on the back that says 4 ohm minimum or 8 ohm minimum and I set it to 4 ohm.

    Klipsch Synergy Series

    Look at the Reference Series too, it's not that much more expensive, and sounds/looks a lot better.

    Cheap stereo receiver?

    Are the watts divisible by the number of speakers you're using? Like if it says 100 watts x 5 channels will it put out at least 130 watts with 2 speakers? I thought those speakers were 100 watts but they're 130w

    Cheap stereo receiver?

    Hi I'm building a stereo for my bedroom and need help finding a receiver. The speakers I'm using are 100w Klipsch RB-35's. I don't have a sub right now but may get one in the distant future. Would this receiver work well? http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...1&cat=3&scat=4 Thanks ;)
