Follow along as I show you my journey from raw unfinished basement, to completed home theater and everything it took to get there in this first part of a three episode series.
I've been asked by those following my home theater build videos over the past couple years to post a current and complete walk through video.
I finally got around to documenting the completed basement build. It took me over two years from design to final build of what you see here and I did it...
Hello! I am new to this forum.
So I've spent the last 3 weeks researching and have gotten close to a decision.
I have already purchased the Denon AVR-x4700h. (Replaced my Onkyo TX-NR656)
My current 5.1 is the Energy Take Classic 5.1 (total 500$ when purchased).
I am looking to first...
I put together a video showing how I ended up having over 30 Klipsch speakers in my home. Let me know how many speakers you have in the comments section!
Hello,
It's been years since I posted on here. Someone on this forum said it was ok to call a soundbar a home theater and I ran away screaming in terror. I hope things are more sensible now.
I started construction of a complete home theater project in 2018 but was designing and planning since...
I had a heck of a time getting the remote open, so I thought I'd post how to do it, and save someone the hassle of contacting Klipsch.
Klipsch Bar 48

Klipsch Bar 40
1. Place remote face down in palm of hand
2, Using ball of other hand, press down lightly, but with some force...

So I have a Klipsch R-12SW subwoofer hooked up to a Yamaha RX-V473 receiver, and it does not play low frequencies well.
I took it over to a friends house and hooked it up to their system where it sounded just fine, playing as loud and low as it should, using a Yamaha RX-V683.
The cable I use...
It came one day earlier than I thought it would.
It sounds amazing for 3.1 sound. Unbelievable actually for the price. No: it's not competing with the Anthem AV + Paradigm setup I want eventually, but for $300 it's unbelievable.
The first movie I watched was Aquaman, starting with the Kraken...
Hi, I recently purchased the Klipsch RP500SA speakers and later will purchase the Klipsch atmos
140SA. Both are atmos speakers and the main difference is the speaker size and there is a cross over setting for the mid and tweeter. Trying to figure out the best set up for these.
my plan was to...
I upgraded my older Denon to a 3500x. Rf311 for fronts rc3ll center and Klipsch 2500 ceiling speakers and svs sub. I'm kinda stuck with my rear surrounds being rs-3ll. I have been reading that dipoles arent ideal for rear surrounds anymore. Will that sound horrible? Any thoughts?
My builder gave wire setup for 7.1 channel. I have no idea what kind of speakers to buy! I would like to stay in the budget.
Can I setup using these? or do I need to buy extra speakers...
I’ve solidified my design finally and will do in wall 8” Klipsch speakers. My question is about the price on these. On the OEM website the 5800 II sells for around $375 each. On many websites such as hifidiscounts the prices are much less, as low as $200. Klipsch websites lists the hifi website...
Hello all,
I used to be a member here many years ago but couldn't remember my screen name. As my family has grown, my HT interests have become less of a priority, and it's time to divest of my gear. I've only been running a 2.1 system, and sadly it hasn't even been used in the past year.
I...
So, I finally found some used Forte's as I have been considering the III's but couldn't spare the $$ and found these for $700 with Crites upgraded crossovers and tweeters. Doing a little A/B comparisons this morning and for the most part experienced what many others have. The 7's have much more...
Initial impressions of the CDT5800 II in-ceiling speakers. For a number of years, I used the Klipsch RS-7 for my surround speakers in a traditional 5.1 set-up. My room is less than ideal for surround largely due to the fact that the room did not allow for proper placement of a surround speaker...
Hello All,
I was able to audition the ML 35XT at a magnolia this weekend. I was comparing it to the amazing KEF R3 which is way out of my budget. I actually found that I preferred the Martin Logans because I like the airy trebel sound over the warm filled out mid range that the R3 is able to...
Currently I am waiting for my Klipsch RC-64 center channel speaker to arrive so it is time to research subwoofers! My home theater over the past year has gone through a big transformation! From a Marantz SR-8012 receiver to a Sony A9F OLED 4K TV and Panasonic DP-UB9000 4K UHD Blu-ray Player to...
Hi there, does any one have experience with these sound bars?
Samsung HW-Q90R 7.1.4 vs Klipsch BAR 48 5.1
I’m looking for a sound bar with wireless speakers and sub for living room TV for watching movies, TV, playing games and listening to music. My place is open concept, the idea is that this...
Hi guys,
I just purchased a Klipsch home theater system and I am hoping to also connect speakers in other rooms to the system as a separate zone setup for wireless.
My question is: can I use wired klipsch speakers and make them wireless somehow without losing much audio quality?
The...
First home theater. The room is the whole space above a 3-car garage. Getting (2) Klipsch RP-8000Fs to fill entire room with music. In the home theater part of the room, the listening distance is 10 1/2 feet from the center channel. Trying to decide whether to get Klipsch RP-504C (four 5 1/4"...
So one of my front speakers is cracklin' its way to an early grave (the third of the four in the original set), so it's time to replace 'em. (I will eventually pick up the matching center, but not just yet, 'cause my TV died too! Stay tuned for THAT thread. ;) )
Use is mainly movies and TV, but...
Cherry rf-7 ii set. 9.5/10 condition. Looking to clear up space in my home theatre. I also have the rf-64 ii as well. $2000 for all or $1600 for just the 7's. Located in Massachusetts and will not ship. No boxes either.
I currently have klipsch rf28 tower speakers and I am looking to get a decent center and bookshelf-speakers and sub. Now should I stick with one brand or are there are brands that would compliment my towers?
Thank you
(2) Klipsch RS-62II surround speakers New in Box, never opened $250 each
(1) Klipsch SW-115 Subwoofer New in box never opened $550

A friend of mine recently purchased this soundbar and is using it with his new Sony X900F smart TV. He hooked it up via HDMI (ARC) and he said sound works for everything except the Netflix app. He says he gets no sound from Netflix and has tried every setting under the sun and is having no luck...

I need to replace a 10 year old Polk RM7 "home-theater-in-a-box" series set, as they're starting to sound worn out and giving out a rattling, tinny quality. We have a small living room setup with a 42" TV and currently using a 2.1 stereo system hooked up to a Yamaha RX-V677 receiver. We sit...
I just bought a Klipsch system. 2 RP 280, rp 450c, 2 rp 250f with a marantz 7011 receiver and 2 PL 200II subs. I would like to turn it into a 9.2. For rear and ceiling speakers there are many options that are less expensive than the matching speakers to this set. I am looking for feedback on...
