Thanks to everyone who responded! I now have a system. I've ordered the SVS SBS-01 with the SB12-Plus sub. I am pretty pumped. I will have it on Tuesday so I am hurrying up the last of my home theater drywall! lol I will post a message and let everyone know what I think about it. Thanks...

lol Probably true. I'm still getting used to the idea of having little, bitty speakers. I had my Klipsch KLF-30s for years, and am very used to them. I remember when I first got them, I thought "Man, these things are bright!" But I guess over the years I have attuned myself to them, because they...

Heh. That's a good point, and to be honest, my girlfriend said it sounded like a sales pitch. But I've talked to these guys several times, and I'm usually good at spotting salespitch BS, and all I can read from them is a lot of enthusiasm and confidence in their products. I'll let you know the...

The quest is over! I talked to Ron tonight with SVS, and after tons of research, the SVS SBS-01 really seems like a great system for the price. After changing out that massive sub for the little SB12-Plus sub, I placed my order. I've a little nervous about such a tiny sub, but the SVS guys...

Hey guys, I finally sold my Klipsch KLF-30s on ebay (due to lack of HT space), and got more from them than I expected. I am so excited... now I can finally get speakers that actually fit into my home theater! My budget is about $1500 total, and I have been doing a lot of research. I'm always...

Thanks for the responses, guys. I just read them, and will be doing some research tonight on the ones you suggested. I spent today listening to various "semi-budget" speakers. Any thoughts on the Klipsch RB-15? They seemed very nice, compared to other speakers at the local store. I am also...

Hi, guys. Due to some space issues in my new uncompleted home theater room, I am going to have to part with my Klipsch KLF-30/KLF-C7 speakers. Can anyone suggest good quality bookshelf (or at least small-ish) speakers under $800 a pair? Failing that, any budget speakers ($200 or less)...

Craig, Here's my system: Klipsch KLF-30 fronts Klipsch KLF-C7 center Klipsch RS-35 rears Driven by a Harman Kardon AVR-500 receiver. It's got a few years on it, but still sounds good. This is in a fairly small (12' x 20') semi-soundproofed rectangular room.

First off, I noticed links to SVS on this site, and just have to wonder... what's the relationship? Someone on this site recomended SVS to me, and they sound really great from what I've read (and Ron is fantastic), but it seems odd that this site should support a particular subwoofer company. I...

Well, I said multimeter, but he's the home audio guy--whatever the hell it is he uses to adjust the sound settings. He knows what he's doing and what his equipment is properly called (I don't). Please don't hold him responsible for my terminology error. :)

Thanks for all the help, guys. I have a friend who used to sell home audio, and he's going to bring his multimeter over next time he's in town and help me set up my system the right way. :) It will be quite a while before it happens, but I'll let you guys know how it works out. Thanks SO...

So you guys think the problem is mostly calibration, eh? I'm going to go looking for a good sub and see if that helps. I'll also be moving everything into a dedicated home theatre room that has been soundproofed by the previous owner and is perfectly rectangle, so maybe that will help. For...

No, I actually don't know how to calibrate it. I'm really nontechnical as far as home audio/video goes. I kind of thought since the fronts and center channel all go together, that they'd be matched from the factory with no need for calibration. Bad assumption, eh?

Thanks, guys. I'm not real technical but might try the Avia. I have one DVD that does this sort of thing, but it's not Avia. Brent, why did you agree with me ebaying them? Have you seen a similar problem? Just curious.

Guys, thanks in advance for any help. I have Klipsch KLF-30s for my front speakers and a Klipsch KLF-C7 front speaker. I've noticed that dialogue is commonly unintelligible when my fronts are pumping out additional sound. This is especially true during explosions. Dialogue in the theater and...

Okay, so I guess it's obvious this is my first set of high end speakers. :) The KLF-30s have 4 prongs on the back. I'm used to 2 only. What the heck do I do with the extra set? The manual said I could get better sound quality by using all 4... sounds good, but I'm not sure how. I'm running my...

It's very strange... I've heard that Component Video cables are really great, yet: A) I have verified all my connections are secure. B) Am using a newer 57" HD widescreen (Toshiba 57H81). C) I have verified that I am not running my cables through the receiver. C) Have switched between...

I finally broke down and bought component video cables for $90 tonight. I got home and plugged them in. After watched parts of several movies (both Superbit, regular, and even a poor DVD copy), I can''t tell a bit of difference! I switched from S-Video to Component using my tv controls, but no...
