Yeah, probably won’t start cabinets until mid-June. So much April-mid-June travel, I didn’t want to start the project and  leave it.   So far my costs have been:   * $300 for the La Scalas * $60 gas to get from Houston to Houma, LA * $200 speeding ticket (does that count?) * $145 tweeters * $150 K-55m   Only drawback so far has been that these things are so amazing that my vinyl sounds like crap. I clearly need an upgraded cart, this Ortofon Red isnt going to cut it. CDs sound amazing though!  

As others have said, the HK730 Twin works great with Klipsch Heritage. If you want more power, you might try to score either a Luxman R117 or the R115. Old skule Marantz or Sansui do great with Klipsch too.  How much are you looking to spend? What do you plan to listen to?

I think ScottE is confused.   The receiver didn't blow out the subwoofer as it's merely sending a line level signal to the subwoofer amp;  the sub's amp failed or the driver died. He needs a 12" subwoofer with a more powerful amp, or a second subwoofer.   The 12" Klipsch Reference Premier subwoofer should suffice as it has a higher rated output of 121dB and an amp rated at 400W continuous/800W peak. I also recommend SVS and HSU Research.   Replacing the driver or the sub amp will revive it and save the landfill, but if you're going this route, just add another subwoofer in parallel as it's clear you want more SPL than your current subwoofer can deliver. If you're lucky, once you determine whether the driver or amp is bad, Klipsch may have replacements, or check eBay.   Don't replace the receiver as it's not dead, nor is it the issue.

Thanks, nickyboy6100, I will keep you posted, for sure. I appreciate it!  

I have a set of original OEM metal trim for these speakers if you are interested. 

Thanks James, really nice sounds like. Will remember.

It's similar to DuraTex. I have read other's squabbles and at the end of the day, it is the same old duck season/rabbit season argument. I have seen both and I like them both, but I have not seen them side by side to see if I like one better than the other.... other than price.  DuraTex - $94 ExoHyde - $75

Agree, alot  of sweat investment. What is this Exohyde that you mentioned? Thanks!

Is it true these can only be used with the CT120 or CT125 Tweeters?

Oh, I thought it might be the cost of the coating or something. It looks like a lot of work to refinish them ready to paint, whereas Duratex will hide a lot of the small stuff. Also, if they had an industrial finish, rather than paint, they might not be scratched so badly.
