Nice making mod status! Congrats.

LOL that's funny.

I'm confused to what you're looking for in your sound? You have klipsch towers, a decent AVR and a sub for the low end. You should have plenty of volume when properly setup. You shouldn't have any holes in the frequency range with those towers and sub. I sounds like you're expecting that mid...

Well to help with this we need some answers from you. What's the budget for the speakers? Are you looking for just two, front three or a whole set? How large of a room are you putting these in? How loud do you like it? Is this system for just home theater use or music too? how large is too...

The problem that you're going to have is that you need both enclosure and an amplifier. The enclosures are the easy part. You can buy some knock-downs from parts-express.com or build your own. The amplifier will be harder because you'll need something like that like a lower ohm load. Most car...

That sounds like a very nice system. How are you liking it?

I don't see the a problem with running a power strip to the mantle if you can do it a want that doesn't bother you. Cord/wires don't bother me so I would rather have my gear on then not seeing a power cord. If your fireplace is hollow (insert) you can put a conduit in place or have an...

Hey Justin :welcome: to the forum. I'm sorry I'm late getting back to you I've been busy at work the last few days. Your budget is certainly up there for the beginner section but I'll try to help. I think you're really good on the AVR so if that budget is just for the speakers man you have...

Yeah If you're a big fan of low end in your music and movies I think a 2.1 (sub and books in this case) would be the way to go. I'm a big fan of 2.1 setups for both music and movies. Of course you can expand to a 5.1 very easily going this route as you already have the sub taken care of. Yes...

You're welcome for the help. Speaker wire is easy just get some 16ga or 14ga speaker wire and run it. I'm not one to get crazy with wire...it's just copper. I know they say you have to have special wire dipped into some special magical electro solution that reduces cosmic...

It looks like your gaining more power, more inputs ( 7 vs 5 HDMI and component inputs) and not much more. I don't know that you can future proof too much with an AVR. They are bring out new stuff all the time. I would buy the AVR that has the features you need and that fits the budget. I...

If they stapled it inside the wall no but if they didn't or used conduit this is a great idea. Totally worth check out.

If you have another driver or entire speaker connect it to the speaker wires. This if there is sound coming out then you have a bad driver. If you don't hear anything I too would think it's something in the xover.

The Denon X1300 will do you just fine. Take advantage of it being on sale right now. The RSL Speedwoofer is a very capable sub from what I have read. I've not heard one but I have read that for larger rooms you probably want to go with two. That could be said for the others I liked but...

I agree with Citywalker that Audyssey won't do anything to help. The longer the run the larger the cable that you need. However, the surrounds aren't as critical as the mains. I would run new for the front and use the surround position cables and see how it sounds.
