Hi,
This is my first post. I lurked around for a little while and absorbed as much info as possible. Thanks for the valuable information. Really.
Now for my situation: I have been "authorized" to replace the entire home audio system. This is what I think I want: Onkyo xt sr-701 receiver, Klipsch rf-35, rc-35,rs-35, an rs-35 for the rear surround. I was strongly leaning toward a Klipsch RSW-12 for a subwoofer, but became intrigued by the other offerings out there (SV Subs? perhaps). I sort of downplayed the cost/benefits/bulk of a sub to the wife, but till have the green light to get what I want as long as it is reasonable.
I don't know if I am like most everybody else, where the "initial seed planting budget" is always extremely reasonable, and over time (and of course after some good consumer research to determine the best buy heh, heh, heh) brings the final budget to much more than originally allotted. Oh well.
I am looking for the best of both worlds, great HT and great music audio.
My previous system is over 10 yrs old, an old Onkyo with state of the art Dolby pro logic, Dana audio main speakers, (used to have a Dana audio sub, but bottomed it out, and they said it was not for HT, so they took it back, I never replaced it), some old Kenwood surrounds (now 30 yrs old) and a Boston Acoustics center. Every speaker has a different timbre, whew!
Of course I want to get the best deal and have looked for legitimate on-line Klipsch dealers, but they seem to be vanishing possibly due to the wave of lawsuits from Klipsch.
Does anyone have any good sources for a Klipsch on-line dealer that can still provide the mfgr's warranty?
Also, I have NOT been authorized to upgrade the video portion to my liking (front projection system), so I am going to make due with a small Akai RP HDTV for now. Don't laugh, It is a big step up from the "state of the art" 10 year old Panasonic 27 incher.
So, any suggestions?
