i was going to purchase the elite 92 receiver first, but i decided to buy the speakers first because my playstatin 3 is going to to decode the latest

yeah i listened to them in my local Magnolia/best buy store.
but i wont be a able to hear them till i purchase a receiver.
i was originaly going to buy the pioneer elite 92 but, i decide to purchase the speakers first because of the new line up of sony receivers that are coming out this summer like the dg-920 receiver which would be able to play dolby turHD and DTS-HD-MA for just $600 dollars.

VERY nice!!! I've got awhile before I can have the full setup. You won't be disappointed. Just don't forget to break them in for a bit before blasting them.. if you can, that is

I DONT UNDERSTAND?
CAN YOU CLARIFFY THAT PLEASE?

[Slec]

I'm just saying you'll be really tempted to blast them straight out of the box. I'm one of those guys that believes in breaking in speakers a bit. I played music through the night while I slept and made sure they were being used during tv watching through the weekend (bought mine on a Thursday I think). By Sunday I turned them up with confidence.

It's great to have a plan, but once you have the speakers, its tough to not crank'em right out of the box.

Sounds like a great system... I sell hight end audio and im a Klipsch fan my self.. I do find the Klipsch subs a bit boomy for the buck and would recomend you look at Martin Logan's "Dynamo" appx $600 US
The Pioneer 92 is a great piece in the same price range you could also look at the Yamaha RXV1800 or the Sony STRDA 4300 (Im running the 5300)
Also the advice about a short break in time is right on the money let them run at mid volume before putting the power to them.

jiffy pop popcorn = $3.99

Blu ray movie = $25.00

Klipsch ref speakers = Priceless

Sounds awsome , are you going to use a pair of the 51 for the rears? just curious why you did'nt go with the 42 or 52 surr.?

Klipsch speakers are terrific for home theater!

Timber matching on a subwoofer shouldn't be an issue, I owned a Klipsch reference system (rf-7, rc-7, rf-5 and rs-? surround's) I matched it with a HSU VTF-3 sub, a really nice HT setup that work very nice for music

[Ranger-R]

Hey crackinhedz,
Do you own this sub, I have an all Klipsch setup with the exception of the sub. been holding out for the klipsch sub 12 but this looks like a smokin deal. Just wanted to get some more info before i pull the trigger. I'd like to pull it today.

I have been dying to try this brand. Comments like that makes it hard since my speaker use is 80+% music. Still, I feel as if I am missing out. I wish I knew someone with a Klipsch setup. Master Audio Fox titles and klipsch.

I also match a Hsu Research sub with a Klipsch 7.1 system. Love it.
