Well, I Pmed jack frost the other night asking him about home audio. I don't know hardly anything about it other than Klipsch speakers are very good. I myself have klipsch 5.1's for my computer and my dad has about 6 klipsch speakers in the house. Well I was wanting to know what's good to buy for a 5.1 setup? I'm not really wanting a 2.1 setup just because I want full surround, I like how my dads setup sounds.

but I know you guys are gonna love these pics, especially you jack. I didn't even know I all ready had heresy's!!!!!

Here is my dad's receiver. It's a sony of somekind.

this is a shot of the Cornwalls, these things sound amazing.

here is proof

here's a pic of the speakers my dad would let me have to start with. Heresy's

and proof . sorry I suck at life at taking pics.

and here is the rear fill my dad has, I'm not sure what model these are. He bought them probably 5-6 years ago.

sorry I forgot to take a pic of the center channel, will do that later

hope you guys like. But basically my question is, I now need a receiver, rear fill, and a center channel. What would you guys do with a 1000 dollar budget?

Nice stuff.

Jim will be in his glory recommending stuff with a $1000 price range to work within

i can dig it.

is it me or does that speaker wire look like some 4ga

wow you suck at taking pics...but that is some good stuff to start with, i was given some polks but never got into the HT since my car is addictive as it is and i don't need to spend more money else where....nice though, i dig it.

Pardon me while I pick my jaw off my keyboard...

For a n00b, you're giving some old hands a run for their money

Your dad must know a thing or two about it, hehe...'tis a good thing. The Cornwalls were some of the best high-eff speakers out there - a real 96dB/W or so of efficiency. The Heresy's are smaller as you know but lack the deep bass...and they're a little more power hungry. Still excellent speakers though

Damn...you now have so many more options for that kilobuck

And that speaker wire looks like 12awg...same gauge I've got going to the '12a, so it looks familiar.

yeah sorry about the pics. Yes the Cornwalls get so loud, it's not even funny.

Yeah the heresy's don't have a lot of low end but they can get pretty loud. I do have a 2 channel amp I forgot about, but like I've been saying I need something with 5.1 support. Do they make receivers where they have EQ's and time alignment like H/U's?

btw, if you are wondering what 2 channel amp I have. I have a yamaha a-720, it's ok =/........

so give me ideas as to what I should match with the heresy's because my dad isn't going to just give me the cornwalls. lol

Well, ideally you should timbre-match the drivers with something else...like another pair of Heresy's

Some receivers have features like that. I'd prefer external EQ's over anything built in, though.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Odd....

It doesnt really look like 12ga to me, especially with those big ring terminals on it

i can dig it, i have old pioneer's here

teh Klipsch for teh win!

Seriously...I wish an American company built speakers like this today for those kind of prices. You have to spend over $1000 to get anything comparable.
