-Everything's pretty self explanatory except the 12v power supply. It's plugged into the back of my HK AVR520 so when the receiver turns on, it sends a 12v signal to automatically turn on the Parasound.
- If you take a look at the picture of the surrounds, you'll notice you don't see any wires running to them. I ran Home Depot 12 gauge speaker wire until I was right underneath the surround. I then connected it to Acoustic Research Speaker Micro Flat speaker wire which runs up the wall (it's sticky on one side and only .5mm thick). I put tape over it, spackled, sanded, and repainted. I'm very pleased with the clean look. I just hate the look of wires(I also replaced that component video cable hanging in the air that's in the front view of my system).
- My favorite piece is my SVS CS Ultra. All though my bass(sub/amp/black box/bfd) costs more than all 5 Klipsch speakers combined, I feel it's the best value in my system.
- If anyone in the DC area is interested in hearing an SVS(since they're only internet direct), you can shoot me an email. I'd be happy to let you hear mine to help them in your buying process by letting you hear mine before you buy(or if you're just curious). If you wanna hear my rig, email me.
- The piece that's been in my system the longest is my Parasound HCA-855a. It's been with me a whopping 3 years(I'm always being bitten by the upgrade bug).
- One funny thing is there's another Klipsch HT about 10 feet away. I'm living w/my parents while going to college. My bedroom is connected to my younger brother's room via a bathroom we share. He has a a Klipsch Synergy HT with a DIY sub. Also our basement is being being finished, we'll have another HT(still need to find a cheap sub) down there as well.
