  1. Oppo BDP83. The reviews are all raves. This is my second Oppo and these things are troublefree and a great value. I'm selling mine for $400. 6-9 months old. Email me if your interested.
  2. I finally found the contact information; ace168516 (Jeff Schaffer) freighted the empty vault from me to tigerwoodKhorns (Chris Vero) who put Cornwalls in the vault and freighted it to ace168516 (Jeff) in Bloomington Illinois. PM me for Jeff's phone number.
  3. I want to try a new setup. After some interesting reading and conversations, I'm thinking; McIntosh C2200 preamp, Rane AC24 equalizer, 1-D75a and 2-D45 Crownamplifiers, 2-Belles, 2 - JL Audio F112 subs
  4. I agree entirely. He added worthwhile points of view to the column. He didn't have thousands of posts so what? I appreciate folks who can stick to audio topics and get to the point, without cluttering up a forum with thousands of (mostly social) posts.
  5. Too bad he was banned, I thought he added good commentary to the forum. Tread very very lightly 'round here I guess.
  6. Me to Tigerwood to Ace...... last I knew. Want Ace's number/email?
  7. I've looked everywhere for a freq curve for the Belles. I though the chart room might have one but I couldn't find one.
  8. 80hz ? Where can I find a frequency curve for the Belle?
  9. What would the system architecture look like for a system with a pair of powered subs and a pair of 3 way speakers?
  10. So you still need a preamp? The crossover is before the amps? Can one amp run the bass and another run the highs? Three channel crossover and three amps for 3 way speakers?
  11. You guys that use pro gear, help me (us) out with a progear 101 primer. What's the progear version of source>preamp>amp>crossover>speaker?
  12. VRD monoblocks would need to go on top of the Belle's in my setup. Has anyone put their tube amp on top of their speaker? Any problem with that, audible or otherwise?
  13. Thanks. I loved the VRD45ST on my Klipschorns, great bass. McIntosh is unique in that you can generally buy used and sell at the same price. Quick resale too. VRD's can be custom built and they come with access to Craig. VRD's are built for tube rolling too.
  14. I'm wondering if anyone's had both and can make a comparison. I've owned Craig's VRD45ST, but not the VRD monoblocks. I've owned 10 or 12 different McIntosh amps but not the MC275. I'm wondering if anyone's had both and can make a comparison.
  15. I'd kill for those corners and Klipschorns would be permanent fixtures in them. Do it now so you'll have that many more years to enjoy them. There is NOTHING like a Klipschorn.
  16. Go to Daddy's Junky Music or Guitar Center and buy yourself a used pro powered speaker. http://www.daddys.com/listing.php?categoryId=1101&categoryName=poweredspeakerenclosures
  17. Where can I find the Belle's frequency response curve?
  18. Sorry but EVERYTHING costs more in Connecticut; With a staggering tax burden already in place - one that makes Connecticut one of the top three most taxed states in the country, the population of Connecticut has been shrinking, with about 113,000 people leaving the state in the last decade. According to a stunning statistic from a Wall Street Journal article, Connecticut has not added one job to its employment rolls since 1991 - while the rest of the country has added 22 million new jobs to its work force.

  20. Well folks, after a long hiatus on the East Coast, the Vault is in motion again. It's in the southwest now............. Vegas baby
  21. Thanks cutthroat. Keep going if you like...... I'm absorbing. Type A's with high quality electronics instead of the ALK universals? What's the difference between the A and AA?
  22. Wow, that's a surprise...... I've heard so many times that the crossover upgrade is a must and the biggest sonic improvement for the buck with Klipsch Heritage. ALK's are usually well reviewed and the universal's seem to be a "can't go wrong" play. I'm only seeking to mitigate some of the sharpness/ringing/shrillness of the horns. McIntosh electronics go partway but was hoping the crossover changeout would mitigate the excess horn energy without killing the dynamics.
  23. Looking into buying ALK crossover upgrades for 1982 Belles with AA crossovers. Any input on universal vs, extreme would be welcome. Listen to mostly low and medium volume for rock, blues, jazz, vocal on digital sources. I haven't called ALK yet, just fishing here first.
