[Speaker Wire Question]

Here is where I purchased my cable. Great cable for a reasonable price along with maximum amout of stranded copper per gauge.

I also Agree with Pete's sentiments, no need to go overboard

[I just picked up a pair of CF4's what version are these?]

Thanks guys

[I just picked up a pair of CF4's what version are these?]

I have read that changing port length on these speaker can make them go deeper? Does anyone have any information on that topic?

Thanks

[I just picked up a pair of CF4's what version are these?]

they read Epic CF4, and the serial numbers are 302491976 and 302491977.

Thanks, Brett

[If I wanted to run a pair of KG 5.5's with a 2 way active crossover would I.....]

Need some EQ for the horn? If so could I build a simple passive to slope the horn back?

Thanks

[Match for Khorns]

I have a SVS pci+ 20 -39 that I am looking to part with. Let me know if you are interested.

[Crites mods, add value, better SQ or both?]

Do the Bob Crites mods get reflected in resale values? I think we can agree they positively affect the sound from the speakers. However, I haven't seen the modifications reflected in some of the asking prices here, on CL, or on Ebay.

I agree, I have bought and sold many different klipsch speakers over the years and it seems that I almost "NEVER" get back the upgrade costs. I know the upgrades sound better and plot better but I think for some it actually makes the Heritage line loose its heritage.

Greg, IMHO ever change you make from original shrinks the potential buying market unless, original equipment (crossovers, drivers etc.) is sold along with the set so buyers can do thier own A/B. When doing this I have seen a slight increase in selling cost.

[Bryston Vs. Tubes]

I have an older McIntosh MC2300 that I am comparing to a pair of Dynaco MKIII's. More bottom end and tighter but the highs are a little brighter. I thnk your better SS amps are sonically very good in comparison.

What exact model are you all referring to and is this used or new? Oppo

Oppo is only currently selling the BR players but you can find the other models on the bay. Here are the specs from the Oppo site, you have to look under "Customer Service" then "Support" to find the models.

Oppo DV-981HD

Oppo DV-980H

Oppo DV-780HD

Oppo OPDV971H

Anyone better than the other? Seems the 981HD is the best huh?

[My RF-7s - Review]

How about a pair of Dynaco Mark III's or his VRD. They would drive them nicely. I wish I would have had my III's when I had my 7's. Just a side note an older SS amp like a McIntosh MC 1st generation line has high output in watts but yet a tube like sound.

[My RF-7s - Review]

Rick, I also had a pair of RF7's that I sold. However I think I would give them a dance again. If so I would use tubes on the horns and SS on the woofers driven by tube pre with active crossover.

This will give you everthing you need. I have also heard the heritage line and owned Belles and Khorns ( present ) they also have "flaws".

The best I have ever heard with my 7's was running a Scott 233 push pull 40watt tube amp. I also ran with a 299B Scott but sounded a little bright. You should borrow an active croosver and give it a whirl before selling. If you were close to me I would bring my stuff and have a listen.

[If you had to buy a CD palyer now on the cheap what would you get?]

Am I missing something but the oppo link shows those players as much more expensive than 200.00?[]

What exact model are you all referring to and is this used or new? Oppo and Rotel was mentioned

[If you had to buy a CD palyer now on the cheap what would you get?]

Dylani,

What is "on the cheap" to you? What is max you will spend?

Bill

I would spend 200.00 but for that, I would want to be happy with it for quite a few years. From what I read, to get a DAC for my computer that is any good would be around 1,000 and that is way over the top for my budget.

I bought the old TOSHIBA that all the talk was about a few years back ( on this forum 59.00 ). It served me well but is now falling apart. I wobbles so bad it shakes the other audio equipment around it. In the end I would like something that puts out a nice "warm signal" The Ground Grid preamp seems to make the Khorns a little bright again.

[If you had to buy a CD palyer now on the cheap what would you get?]

I would also consider used.

Thanks

[My 2-Channel rig in the living room - Part Two]

Thanks I will check into it.

[My 2-Channel rig in the living room - Part Two]

Just a quick question: what would you polish them with? I have an older set of speakers with Tung oil and they are very glossy but I have always wonder if I could polish these to a mirror finish better then what was there.

Thanks

[Very bad purchase on KG's]

klipsch parts still sells the woofers. I bought one a fe wmonths ago.

[Dedicated Amp...Would I notice a difference?]

I am a fan of the Rotel 1095 but I think even used it is out of your budget. Seem like the emotiva is a good call.

[RF-3 vs KG 5.5]

If I were you I would stick with the 5.5's over the RF3's. I have owned both and the rf3's may have a little better mid range but overall I was very dissapointed with them. I would however look into the RF7 which IMHO is better in all ways to the KG. You can get a pair for around 800 - 900 as the market is bad right now but you would be better off saving your money then dump it into the 3's,

[6an8a tube where to buy?]

Looking to pick up a few of these for my Mark III where is the best place to buy them? Anyone sell new tubes?

[I have an older Denon 4800 runing my HT......]

Acting as a preamp to my 5 channel and 2 channel amps. What would a newer unit like a Rotel 1098 pre HT processor http://www.rotel.com/NA/products/ProductDetails.htm?Id=20 do for me that I currently do not have?

I am looking to see when I need to upgrade and why. I like the sound I have but wondering if things are better now than in the past etc.

Thanks

[Internal speaker wiring]

I used their wire in the past and really liked it ( KNUkonceptz ). I did not like the spades they sent. You are correct, you don't need anything more but I also like nice wiring. Go figure.

Word of caution they shorted me 1' on my over all wire purchase so make sure to measure when you get it. They said they would resend but I ordered extra so no big deal.

[Two dissimilar subs used simultaneously?]

I run 2 SVS subs in my home theater in parallel form a behringer amp. I also only set up with Rat shack meter.

[Is a Pair of Scott 99D's worth 200.00??]

7/10 condition?

Thanks
