Mike I'm in a similar boat. I have the Pio 1014 and an SVS 20-39 sub but am still looking at speakers. I say "still" because I just finshed a 30 day in home demo of both the Klipsch (RF35, RC35 and RB35s) and the Onix Rockets 550 package. After being torn between the two for the whole month, I...

Just got back from auditioning the Paradigm Studio 40s and 60s. They sounded great. Dealer quoted me $1460 pr for the Studio 60s. If you can find a Paradigm dealer, I'd recommend checking them out. You can also check out the Paradigm Monitors while you are there. You can get the Monitor 11s and...

Thought I'd share my experience with the forum as I venture into amassing my first real HT system. Purchased the Pio 1014 from JR last month and just received an SVS 20-39 PCi sub from the UPS guy. The box had a few holes in the top and I expected a bit more packing, but there was no damage...

After talking to SVS, I decided to go with the 20-39. Yes, they will tune it to 22 for you but with the size of my room, the salesman recommended the 20-39. At only $50 more than the 25-31, it became an easy decision.

Quick question from the SVS web site. I am contemplating the 25-31PCi or the 20-39PCi. The website states: "The PB1-ISD has single woofer so as you might expect, it's virtually identical to a 22Hz tuned version of our 25-31PCi subwoofer." Can someone please explain to this newbie how I would get...

Tom I'm on the other side of the river in Illinois. Can you recommend a good place to audition Paradigms, Energy Connoisseur and Boston in the StL area? Gene First off, being from LA and now living in the St Louis area, I can say that I miss my Frys desperately. You're right - 20% off...

I ventured over to American Furniture to see what kind of prices they offered during their 1/2 off their mark-up sale. What I found really is amazing. Here's what I found: Klipsch RF35 floors - $750 pair Klipsch RC35 center - $314 Klipsch RB35 books - $450 pair TOTAL - $1515 Retail is...

Scott I may have explained this wrong - they will take 50% off their mark-up so it would look more like this: Cost $1000 Mark up 40% Pricetag $1400 discount 50% off the mark up of $400 = $-200 out the door $1200 net profit ~ 20%

Dave Please explain what you mean. I was thinking that 20% off MSRP would also be reasonable to ask. I can see the B&Ms making 50 to 60% profit on electronics. Look at Best Buy - they sell the Pioneer 1014 for $500 but it can be purchased for $399 ffom JR (an authorized dealer). You know JR is...

Have had my eye on the Klipsch RF35 floors, RC35 center, and the RB35s. American Furniture sent me a flyer offering the following sale: "Pay only half our mark-up." Before I go in to negotiate, I would love to know approximately how much mark-up there is in these Klispchs. I believe the RF35s...

Newbee question - just had Charter Cable hook up my HD converted box - a Motorola. It has a DVI slot so I figured I'd just run out and buy an DVI to HDMI cable. But the installers said that the DVI output on the HD box doesn't have the software installed to make that work so I need to use...

Please advise - I have a Pio 1014 on the way and no speakers yet. Considering Axiom, Swan, Ascend, JBL and KLipsch. My room is approx 14 X 18 with the 18 side being open to the kitchen (10 ft ceiling). I have quite a bit of furniture in the room. Please help me to figure out what I should be...

If I do go with the JBLs, will opt for the following: E90s fronts EC35 center e50 rear sides e30 rear centers All for just over $1K shipped from BH. Will add on the SVS sub sooner than later then. The Fluances are appealing just because, if they aren't exactly what I'm looking for...

Here's the situation - after having a Pio 1014 on backorder at JR for two weeks, it is finally on the way. Now I must make my speaker purchase. My room is 16 X 18 with the 18 side being open to the kitchen so the room is unbounded on the left side. Will use more for TV than music. I haven't...

Ordered a 1014 from JR and it has been on back order for over a week. Anyone have any insight into how long these things usually take to come in?

Would love to take advantage of a deal like that - what retailer/city?

Let me know how you like the sound - I am seriously condidering the 35, 4 30s and 2 80s paired with a Pioneer 1014. Condidering the 90s instead of the 80s and bypassing the sub altogether. Was looking to order the JBLs from bhphotovideo and the Pio from JR but JR is b/o so I'll wait on the...

Thanks for the input so far - will definitely upgrade to the 35. On centers, you definitely don't want to sacrifice great performance for a few bucks. And I'll look into the HK235 and will definitely take the Onkyo off the list. Now,I am an amatuer here but everything I read tells me that...

Been doing much researching here and believe I have narrowed my near-future system down to two Receiver choices and two speaker lines. Will use mostly for watching tv/dvds. Either the Onkyo TX-SR602B 7.1, right now $299, or the Pioneer 1014 (upper $300s) to be paired with either of the...
