Yamaha model is SP2060. I bought a used one from Canada a few years back. The SW that runs it is incredible...made to run LARGE systems in arenas etc....the SP2060 would just one small piece in a system like those.
Did you have difficulty getting the SW installed and recognizing the unit? Or was it just me who was an idiot?

This Yamaha has been used by some folks on here, although it is now discontinued. It's a 2 in, 6 out, 96Khz sampling rate. I think the EV Dx38 is also discontinued, and it only has a 48Kz sampling rate. It was used by a lot of folks here when the Underground Jubilees were first getting out from under the covers.

Yes, I was one the guys. They are discontinued, but used ones are sometimes available ($600-700 range). They accept a digital or analog input (AES or coax SPDIF). 8 input filters and 6 output filters (per section). The interface is a bit clumsy however. My unit might be up for sale sometime (PM if serious)
If you are looking to experiment, then there is also the Behringer DCX2496. The have a ton of features but some question their reliability, but they are quite affordable. I have a new in box unit that I'm wiling to let go (PM if serious).
DSP is definitely the way to go

My grandfather was a rich and well known man who was friends with Paul. He gave my grandfather blueprints of his original speakers. They built two sets, with the TV stands / entertainment centers. My dad was bequeathed a set along with the blueprints by Paul Klipsch. They are in great condition, sound great, I'm looking for more info on them (my brother has the other set) and value. Thanks! Lmk how to post photos. It only offers images from Url? I'm in Oklahoma btw.
This is an interesting bit of history.
The "Historian" who monitors this particular forum goes by "JRH" and is a longtime Klipsch engineer. I would follow his advice and ignore the other chatter.

Yes sir. I have budget for the speakers and amps. But I admit I have no knowledge on programming the settings for them.
The DSP settings from JBL are already loaded into the I-Tech amplifiers. I would not let any concern about DSP deter you. BTW, The JBL M2 is where I am personally headed

there is no such thing , none of the DIY Jube clones reflect the klipsch design , these clones were basically a khorn clone with jube dimensions + 12 inch woofers , and we all know how bad khorn clones can be
That's enough.
You have been spreading this mis-information for so long.
You really have no idea what you are talking about (in spite of your 69,000 posts).
Don't bother responding to this

I also have a single Heresy. It's a bit rough but includes all the pieces.
The potential problem: It is in Connecticut.
good luck on your search, -Tom

concentrate on the stock speakers and work on the price whether the Forte II or Cornwall II ,
aftermarket parts alter the klipsch sound in a negative way , while klipsch original parts do not , factory capacitors and tweeter diaphragms are available from klipsch for pretty much the same cost as aftermarkets + Forte II crossovers may still be in perfect specs , so you can stretch the expense for later .
And, this is a highly biased opinion that many long time forum members will certainly not agree with. Alas, Our posts will be deleted and the end user will be mis-lead. Before the lock down comes ..... search elsewhere. Your questions are valid ones.

Is the cabinet sealed or ported?

FYI: I'm not the seller and I have no idea if this is a realistic price

Just a point of clarification and I hope I don't get shouted down again.
You can use a 2 channel tube amplifier with a transformer on the output stage and power the center (the "third channel") and not require an additional amplifier. Look up the the posts by DJK on doing this with a McIntosh amplifier. Granted this is an oddball configuration that may not be what the OP can accomplish. Short of that, yes an additional channel of amplification will be required and one of the boxes that PWK provided a schematic for. I used to have one and was satisfied with the results for music. Note, a way to adjust volume on the center is strongly recommended.

I was curious about whether it was a local / European vendor that set this up or was it Klipsch Inc who sponsored and arranged this ?
-
The above two suggestions will not tackle the OP's question. If I understand things correctly, he wants to drive a center channel without getting an "extra" amplifier.

I think the trick wuzzzer was referring to will only work with a tube amp (where there is a transformer on the output). Even then, you would not have a separate volume control for the center speaker (which may be needed).
Good luck, -Tom

Hi. Still available ?? Cheers
If you are interested in a single, then search the forum for mine "Single 1982 Heresy in Connecticut".
Keep in mind that it is a bit rough and it is not practical to ship.

search the forum. It has been done many times. Try "enclosed back" or "false corner" should get you started

A very happy birthday.
Enjoy !!!

If they are actually available, that is an outstanding deal. Certainly more living room, and wife, friendly than the Jubilees.

In fact, the JBL speakers are still available. The price on the M2 will get quoted either with or without the DSP & amplifiers. The good news is that for DIYers you can buy all the pieces you need for the speaker cabinets (anywhere from 1200-1500 per cabinet). The DSP settings are also published. Be prepared to do a great deal of reading over at the Lansing Heritage site.

Look Granny no wires!
Picture is the final setup, the transmitter is mounted behind the TV at top (can't be seen). All sources and pre-amp are on mantel. The receivers are mounted in the top hat space (also can't be seen), and feed R/L signals to 2 channel amps on top of Khorns, which are bi-amped.
Other picture is the test set up to duplicate the concept of final setup. Transmitter in foreground atop the CD player sends signal to R/L wireless receivers inside the amoire from 16 feet away. They send R/L signals to pre-amp/power amp/speakers. Not exactly an identical setup as final, but I was more concerned about the distance plus not having a line of sight to receivers inside a cabinet (or top hat) and finding any latency issues - there were no audible ones heard.
The original question was about hiding the wire from the amp to speaker (you know ...... the speaker wires). Nothing wireless about that. You have simply stashed the amplifier to be right next to the speaker (or within it).
I don't believe that addresses the original issue about hiding a speaker wire run. So wandering souls should once again listen to Grandma about "if it sounds too good to be true, then ....."
Enough !

My comment wasn't meant in jest... I will save you time in responding and a debate you can't win, by saying I have done it and it works great.
My, my, my ----- A debate that I can't win ..... Your right! Neither of us is interested.
Just to be clear, is your wireless comment referring to source to pre-amp, preamp to amp, amp to speakers?
In either case, I'm glad it is working for you.
Note to the poor souls wandering through. My Grandma used to say "if it sounds too good to be true then it probably ......."

Or eliminate wires altogether for the rears by using a wireless transmitter and receivers.
I hope some poor soul does not wander through here and fails to understand your comment was meant in jest.

It is probably not worth the cost. Some of the article is good, much of it is recycled urban myths.
I know, I worked with anechoic chambers for over 3 decades.

Active crossover options
in Klipsch Pro Audio
Posted
It is quiet - there is no fan.
As far as noise floor in the electronics, I have not noticed any problem. I keep my volume control after the DSP & right before the amp, so any self noise would be attenuated when I attenuate the signal. When these were in production (about 10-15 years ago) they were a bit over $2,000 new. IOW, they are not junk
