It is unusual to see two really nice units for sale at the same time. They aren't out there every week. ---------------- AH! DAMM! I just bought a house and am very poor . I need a couple months to regroup before I can spend money on audiogon. It's been really hard to stay off AG especially $775obo for an AH!4000. All I need to complete my system is a better cdp and a phonostage. ARG! I've felt like getting a sign that says "need more audio gear and beer" and sitting on the offramp of the freeway

I plan on picking up one of the AH! 4000 cdp's wich has been getting great reviews just do a search on audio asylum for the AH! 4000. Since I don't have a decent audio shop in town I do alot of research and when reviewers like it and users on most of the forums give positive feedback it makes me feel more comfortable about dropping a wad of cash. I have seen it on audiogon for $600 and completely upgrade for about 700 or 800. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0501/tjoeb4000.htm http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/tjoeb4000_e.html http://www.upscaleaudio.com/AH!/ahcd.htm Has anyone in this forum heard this cdp I would love to know how it mates with the klipsch.

I pretty much thought it was a scam from day 1 but a friend did give me a bunch of medical grade power cords to hook up my gear with and while I'm not sure if it made a difference in sound they certainly look good Seti

I am not trying to be flamebait here but I have a question for you tweakers and diyers. My brother is buying a nice lathe so he can build some wooden horns for his own system based on some jbl designs. He has offered to build me some wooden horns for my belle's. Has anyone here heard such a critter? If so is it a change for the better or worse? Has this been done before with the heritage line? I wasn't considering this as an option until I saw the jubilee pic with a wooden horn and thought if PWK finally ended up with a wooden horn it may not be such a bad idea. Thanks, Seti

Just curious but how many speakers have been in production as long as the khorns? Any? Seems like you don't need much of a review in some hi-fi rag if that is the case : )

Nah get a Bose wave radio... Ah Hell I can't even keep a stragiht face if I had the means I would love some new khorns and some new tube gear hell go nuts. The hardest lesson for me was that if you have a budget forget it lol.....

Ah Hell make them got to Hope, AR to audition the system. Do they still have that room PWK built? Let them compare the system with different tube gear from pp to set maybe even PWK's favorite tube the 2a3. I like looking at the audiophile mags the same way I like looking at autophile mags while I'll never afford the new v10 porsche it sure is pretty to look at. I would like to see an audiophile mag that actually reviews equipment not priced in the stratosphere. Thank god for online forums like this and audioasylum etc..

I found this link on the site http://www.klipsch.com/media/Photos/KPTjubilee_large.jpg but it is obviously not the same critter. I am thinking of jobs in Hope, AR but wouldn't it be great if that was made at the same facrtory as the khorns. I just love that wooden horn how do they sound compared to the regular horns? Seti

DM ---------------- Well that thar needs to be in my house!~ So what is this Jubilee of which you speak? Eye candy to torment us or is this actually on the market. I suppose I missed this one some how. That wooden horn up top is dead sexy.

I found this on the web but what the heck is it a tricked out beautiful klipschorn? This made me wonder if there were any other Paul Klipsch designs that didn't make it to production but should have. I know this could be considered sacrilege but I wonder if any new klipschorn speakers could be possible in the future? The New Dope From Hope! Seti

I almost bought one of these Fi X integrated 2a3 tube amps when I was looking. Dang it looks cool. http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?intatube&1098485434 I have heard this http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?intatube&1098126790 Cary 300SEI and it sounded very nice. There are always good deals on AG it's like crack for audiophiles...

I am very curious about what this looks like an the inside but do not want to take mine apart to find out. Do you have any pics of the inside or the cabinet design? Thanks Seti

They are both Klipsch and McIntosh dealers. Not sure but I think you can order any Heritage model through them, too. Small caveat - this past Monday, there was a fire in the building they are located in and I understand that they suffered quite a bit of smoke damage and according to a spokesman for them, lost 'thousands' in inventory. Who knows they might have a 'fire sale'... ---------------- They can order the heritage line and they had some khorns on site I hope they weren't damaged. Just don't mention that you want to try tubes to them I did once and they tried to sell me some yamaha gear. They like most audio stores are moving towards the home theater market which is fine but I wish they wouldn't turn their nose at you when you mention anything but what they sell. I think Little Rock is ripe for an audio store that not only sells home theater but also some tube gear and a range of speakers outside of klipsch and b&w. It would be great to be able to walk into a local store and listen to new ss and tube gear. Just my rant sorry... I would like to know if they have a firesale!

preacherman Daddydees May 2004 Klipsch gathering in Little Rock, Arkansas. ________________________________________ OK since when is there a klipsch gathering in little rock? Is it annual? I would love to hear some more tube gear in Little Rock. I live in Little Rock but would not recommend any of our audio stores. What do you need help with exactly?

Is there a gallery of early model klipsch speakers ? I found this early model image in one of my archives not sure where it came from.

Am I the only guy here who REFUSES to stack things on my speakers? Or is that an "acoustic treatment"?? Nice setup. Looks like a great place to kick back with your favorite libation and let the music pour over you. I dig that couch. ______________________________ I knew someone would say something about that LOL. The picture was taken before I found a home for my CDs. Thanks, the couch was a $65 dollar special LOL....Will spend money on gear but not furniture....

Thanks having just bought a home so I have avoided walmart like the plague as that will be a good $500 trip perhaps I should by stock first. I will get some of those tonight and see what happens. Also the previous owners manage to get one drink ring and another spot that looks a little worn on the top of the speakers any ideas an what i can do about that? I would rather not refinish them!

I have one of George Wrights preamps and it is a purchase I am proud of. I don't have as nice a turntable as yours but I don't see how you could go wrong with a George Wright Pre/PhonoPre! Good Luck!

Well I finally got my Belle's to their new home (see attached file)and they sound better in this room than their previous room. I can really turn it up and not have to worry about neighbors becaus there aren't any! Now I just need some tapestries for the walls and some cd racks. Is it ok to have everything setting on the wood floors or should I get something to go underneath? Thanks, Seti

I would love to hear some vintage quads with khorns! Looks great!

I think this is why great online stores are doing better at selling audio gear. I'm in Arkansas and you would think there would be a more pro klipsch attitude here. However, when I went to a local audio store which even had some nice khorns the audio schmuck criticized me for buying an old pair of belle's and even snickered at me when I asked if he knew anyone that worked on vintage Quad's. This just made me sad and of course he wanted to show me the latest klipsch but recommended his B&W line of speakers instead. This shop had no tube gear and he was certainly not a fan. I only buy audio gear online now but how I wish there was a better audio store personnel closer than Tulsa or Dallas. Seti

I've wanted to hear one of these AE-1 preamps for a while or at least since I lost an ebay auction on one over christmas. It was brilliant custom made black chasis with a big voltage plate meter on the front. I think it sold for $400.

Reminds me of an article by Steve Deckert on the decware site which has several great articles. http://www.decware.com/newsite/articles.htm If the first watt sucks, why continue? http://www.decware.com/paper43.htm I think I've read just about every article on this site today. Seti

Well I can't believe the DIYers on the site haven't developed a flotation system for your klipsch. Since you live in Florida I will assume you have some flotation devices for going to the beach why not retrofit all of these to your klipsch in case off rising water! Also I would put some of those but bumpers on the side of your klipsch to keep them from getting scratched from floating around. Talk about a floating sound stage
