Thanks for the review. Good movies for the whole family are rare these days. Even then, not all Pixars are created equally. Hence the review helps as this brand tends to be a bit more expensive. Bill

For $820 you will be very happy as long as the sub is in good condition. The RSW-15 is rock solid down to 25 Hz and drops like a rock below 19 Hz. Dual subs will give better coverage in most rooms and make setup easier for even coverage. The idea that we need subs to go into the subsonic levels below 20 Hz is counterproductive. Better sub 20 Hz output reduces output in audible bass output. Buttkickers are better at sub 20 Hz output IMO. Bill

I am SO happy that I purchased my RC-64 and RF-63s from a local dealer. They do compete on price within reason, so the deal was very comparable to Internet sales. The sales tax is a small price to pay to have a local solution to any problem. Sales tax savings are reduced further if you have to pay shipping, especially if it is both ways. I'll bet money Thump can fix or reduce the problem on the next design. Bill

In addition to the European goodies add a small box of See's. I have yet to meet a chocolate lover that does not like See's. Warren Buffet bought the company for a reason: It has a sustainable competitive advantage, i.e., he bet big money that their product will be extremely hard to beat. I agree with Buffet. Bill

Modern goods fail way too frequently due to planned obsolescence.....except Klipsch speakers. My last range lasted 15 years; this one was good for 2 years and 4 months. Every time I upgrade my Klipsch speakers, it's because I want a better model for my circumstances. It's not because on any failure or major design flaw. The service guy that booked my repair appointment said that it is normal to need a new heating element in 4 to 6 years. If my speaker drivers routinely needed replacement

Colin, The place to ask this question is hvac-talk.com. The pros tend to recommend 5 inch deep pleated filter boxes. These boxes get it all above mthe micron level that you install, but they need to be changed mothly to quaterly, depending. The advantage is lower initial cost, less to go wrong and easire maintenance, but spare elements must be kept on hand. I went with a low ozone eletronic filter. It has a pre-filter that I vacuum every three weeks along with the collectors. My first annual service

We baked a pizza last night and then set the oven to self-clean and sat down to dinner. My wife looked up and observed an electrical fire inside the oven. It gave off a bright blue-green and yellow glow that brightly lit up the entire oven-door's window. A quick trip to the breaker panel killed the light show, but toxic smoke came out of the oven's vents for another ten minutes. We opend the windows wide, but there was very little breeze. The range is covered by an extended warranty, but

tigerwoodsKhorns, It is funny that my machine is also a stainles double oven GE Profile as well. My deal was not nearly as good as your however. The yellow crud on the inside of the window makes me wonder what it is. Chromium oxide has the same color, but the racks are porcelain. When this puppy gets fixed, it will get donated to Habitat or Goodwill. Bill

A center sitting on the floor will only work well if its front is aimed up toward the listener's ears. The other important factor for a center channel is that it be timbre matched to the mains. The KLF-C7 matches the KLF-30 andd 20 etc. for main speakers. I have an RC-64 that is huge. It is nearly on the floor, but it is aimed upward and integrates well. Another reason that it integrates well is that it has matching drivers with the mains and acoustic calibration. Bill

My second pair of Rf-63s were installed mid-week as side surrounds. The difference has surpassed my wildest espectations with 7.1 material. Surround backs are RS-7s as floor standers will not fit. The RF-63s all around are cleaner than my prior setup not to count better balanced and seamless. New details are showing up in movies that I've watched many times. There is no way small surrounds can keep up with the big boys IMO. I'm using a crossover of 50 Hz on Thump's recommendation and
