klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
Having worked in the high end audio industry for over 20 years, I can say that Klipschorns are some of the best and worst speakers that I ever heard. As willland said, it's all about using the right equipment with them. 
Help setting up HT and Integrated Amp and Sub
Here's a manual switch that should work. Just use 2 of the inputs for Integrated and HT receiver, then output to the sub.http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/50-6180  
What receiver should I buy?
The problem with cheap AVR's is that after the processing, the first stage of amplification for the analog signal takes place in its preamp section, also using a cheap VC circuit, then to the preouts. That's what creates the poor quality signal, n... 
Help setting up HT and Integrated Amp and Sub
Take a look at this,http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/50-8396 Output to the sub with inputs for integrated amp and HT receiver. 
What receiver should I buy?
Using a cheap AVR has been discussed quite a lot. A quality amp will only reproduce the low quality signal from the cheap AVR, not improve it. A quality amp needs a quality front end to perform to its maximum potential. I second elevick's recommen...

Early 1960s McIntosh MC275 Headphone Tap
Use the tape output from the MX110 to the input of this headphone amp,http://schiit.com/products/magni-2 Then just plug in your headphones and adjust volume on the Magni 2. 
Do I really need Desoldering for replacing resistors/caps?
Here’s the solder sucker and iron in a single unit.http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/TENMA-21-8240-/21-8240 I have one of these and it is much easier to use than a separate sucker and iron or the iron with the attached pump. 
Replacing the speakers link with silver wire
What speakers and speaker cables? 
Anyone used a HDMI to stereo rca adapter
Why don’t you list the brand and model of your TV. I doubt your TV has HDMI output as that is rare. I just looked a some top end TV's and none have HDMI output. Some have a 1/8 mini audio out or digital out that can be used. 
klipsch klipschorn date code???????
tomtab, you are correct, however, in some cases for weeks 01 through 09, only a single digit was used for the week and then the last 4 digits to number the speaker. So, these are 7th week of 1986. I have a pdf document that explains this completel... 
2k budget for home theater
How large is your room and do you listen very loud at times?Also, concerning the Gallo system listed, the Cl-2 is a 4 ohm speaker. Many new receivers in your listed price range are typically just stable to 6 ohm. 
Have a better suggestion for HT audio?
"Personally, I don't think matching the rears is so important."elevick, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Besides the link I provided on matching front and rear, here's another one you should read, especially the last line. http://www.av... 
Have a better suggestion for HT audio?
Soix, true that rear channels are not as demanding as front, but I think that is irrelevant here. The output of that 475 dropped significantly when put under a load, so any load, even with just 2 speakers, could cause the same issue.I am retired n... 
Have a better suggestion for HT audio?
Your surrounds should match the fronts, and the perfect match would be another pair just like the fronts. Since you can’t do that, you should at least use something from the same company, like in ceiling, as you suggested.http://www.soundandvision...
