At $1,000, you might want to rethink your budget for 7.1 or reconsider your setup. Do you have any gear at the moment, or do you need everything (cables, TV, stand, reciever, etc.)? Does the setup have to be reference? Klipsch's reference line is great, but you might be pressed to get some nice stuff (much less SEVEN speakers, sub, reciever and cables for a grand). I think most people here would agree there is VERY little, if any difference between a 5.1 and 7.1 setup unless you have a. a treated

I'd get the 63's now and worry about the surrounds later. Deals alway pop up and the surrounds aren't nearly as important as your fronts. John

[quote user="RockOn4Klipsch"] I'm may get ragged on but anyways..... If your room is large enough and you can control the lighting as youthman said go for a projector. If you have the space but don't want a screen that big DLP has some major benefits as far as screen size go in comparison to the Plasma or LCD (or LED). I always tell everyone I know that unless you plan on mounting your TV to save space the plasma's and LCD's are a waste. If space conservation is important

If you are definetly going to wall mount it, and definetly are good with 60", the Pioneer Elite Kuro is practically a lock. There is arguably no set out there with better picture quality. Unfortunately Pioneer is getting out of the biz (Panasonic will take over making their displays) so get one while you can. They make 50" and 60" sets. Obviously you don't replace/upgrade often so you want to make sure its the right size and quality. Are you sure you want it wall mounted? I only

I hate to be the one who rains on the parade, but this isn't set in stone, as the title implies. "Loud TV commercials may be coming to an end" I hate this problem as much as the next guy, but at this point overseers, regulators, and executives are "coming together"...whatever that means. John

Something to keep in mind when going "overkill": the RF-83s are ported in the rear. What this means is that they breathe in from the back to make all their pretty noises. Ideally, you want them about 3 feet away from the wall, so if you plan on putting them against the wall like your other speakers, don't. Not only will it sound awful while set up like that, it will probably destroy them in the process. Practically any floorstanding speaker you buy can make your ears bleed,especially

Prior to my current setup, I had Synergy F-3s, C-3, and S-2s powered by a H/K AVR 235. It sounded very nice. Then I bought the Parasound and the differenence was ENORMOUS. At that point I was using an amp that had a rating equal to the RMS of the mains. I then bought my RF-83s and, to be quite honest, didn't hear a night and day difference. I have since gotten very used to the sound of my system, upgraded to the 3808ci, ran Audessey, tweaked my sub settings, blah blah blah, and now I like my

[quote user="Youthman"]Do you need a "bump in power" or are you just curious that you are "missing something" by not having more power?[/quote] This is a case of "missing something". Ultimately though, if i am in fact missing something, than I would also need a "bump in power" lol. Obviously, I don't NEED more volume, or really power for that matter, but I am wondering if there would be a (measurable) difference in sound QUALITY with an additional

So far I have been very happy with the Parasound and I am aware of the speaker's sensitivity. I also know that many Klipsch speakers (the RF-7 to name one) really sings with even more power. I don't know that to be the case with the 83s, but it sure has me wondering. I guess its like all GOOD/GREAT things...people want to know what is better. I'm sure there is some yahoo out there with Wilsons,PF-39s, Revel Salon2 or some other crazy speakers powered by a Halrco, Krell,etc. and is wondering
