  1. Thanks for all the replies. I see all my options now. I will take the time to read through all the material. Until then, one thing I just thought of for a easy way to experiment with the 3 channel setup. I was thinking about trying to use 2 pre-amps and 2 power amps. First off, Ill split the output from the CD player. One signal into each of the (2) preamps. One of my preamps (Onkyo P304) has a stereo/mono switch. In mono mode, this LR output could be used to feed the Adcom GFA-555 in bridged mode a mono signal then to the center channel speaker. The other signal could be fed into the other pre-amp for normal 2 channel stereo. The only downside is that I will have a separate volume control for the center channel. But should give me a sample of what it will sound like. Ill post results once I give it a try. I think it should work?
  2. First off, this is my first post to the forum. Also, I am not sure if Im posting in the correct spot. I have Klipschorns as main speakers. I just purchased a single Belle speaker that I am planning on using as a center channel. I am using this strictly for listening to music. How do I hook up the center channel. Do I need to buy a surround receiver that has a mono output. Currently I am using a Adcom GFP-565 preamp and I have (2) Adcom GFA-555 amplifiers. Can I set this up using only the Adcom amps? I tried bridging the Adcom 555, but that only gives me Left or Right signal.
  3. I am somewhat new to Klipsch speakers. I recently looked at a pair of Forte II's for sale locally for $400/pair. They are clear Oak and they have some imperfections to one of the cabinets and some damage to one of the passive radiators. The damage includes a tear in the passive radiator about 2 inches long. And the only other damage is one of the cabinets has some damage with the wood chipped in a couple spots. 1) Is refinishing these cabinets an option? 2) Are they worth $400 for the pair. Should I offer less? Klipsch does not make passive radiator anymore. Tech @ Klipsch said to repair cone with Elmers glue and it should be fine Any help/advice would be appreciated.
