naw .. I thought the same as you Gary. Thanks. The right one will come my way. Seems that Heresys are getting high bids right now though. I might think of a Chorus for just a few $$$$ more. Of course, the bigger it gets, the more "omigosh what did you bring home?" factor. hahaha steve

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3033074579&category=14993&rd=1 right across the bridge from me. Seems a little high, but my Paramours are calling out to me. Steve

I'd say American Beauty. My fave ..

If both are available in your vicinity, you are in an enviable situation Dave! I'm awaiting either to show up around SF, CA so I can have a listen. steve

well, the "I made that" factor is definitely cool. Need a pre? maybe do the Foreplay ... I imagine they sell way more Foreplay kits than anything else, lotsa info on the board. I'm totally serious, I had a blast making it ... I also had a blast tweaking my ART DI/O. Different animal (dac, pcb), but just as fun and sounds great. I've got the diy bug .. looking for a project at the moment unfortunately. steve

Hi Craig I had so much fun building,and then subsequently tweaking, my Foreplay and Paramours. The wait was a little long, but I suppose that was due to great anticipation. The Bottlehead forum is really great too. Lots of people on that board have ST70s as well .. you can get some quality feedback on what to expect in comparison. What are you looking to make? steve

the Paramours are parafeed. Eventually I'll drop in some better output iron than the stock ones, but that's a ways down the upgrade path. Thanks for all the feedback. Is Chorus II a significant upgrade to Chorus I ? I'll see what I can find. Looking for ease and openness. My Omega (Fostex) monitors sound good, but at times ..... "congested" I suppose is the word. steve

thanks for the advice on the expanded search engine. I was previously doing searches here just using the search field in the upper right corner, and not getting alot of hits. Doh! off to the archives.

I already have a sub (Adire Rava), so the bass I've pretty much got covered. The room is less than ideal. It's a big "L", and my speakers are setup currently about in the middle of the long side of the "L" a few feet off the wall. Usual suspects in the CDP are vocals, jazz and acoustics, but sometimes I get a wild hair and bring out my old Zeppelin, Who, Stones. Apartment building, so rarely get a chance to crank it up. Just would rather not have my amps breathing hard. There are no corners in the room that would make obvious sense for placing 2 speakers. Those K-horns do look cool though ..... of course, I don't need to tell y'all that. steve

Hi all! This looks like the obvious place to ask: I've seen plenty of Klipsch Heritage line speakers on ebay and in local (SF Bay area) ads. What would go best with my little 3.5 watt SET 2a3s? Belle, Klipschorn, LaScala, etc too big for my space and WAF comfort .. For under <$1000 I've seen Heresy II, Chorus, Forte and while their sensitivity ratings look fine (nay: great!), I'm concerned about impedence dips. Should be holding out for the Heresy I ? thanks !
