  1. Justin Payment sent today. If Saturday, 09/01, is convenient for you, I will be picking up my first HT center channel speaker. Judging from the pictures you posted I expect this Cornwall speaker will have excellent audio qualities and will complement my Cornwall IIs! Thank you. Enrique
  2. Shepjk01 I have been searching for a center channel for my cherry veneer Cornwall IIIs. I have sent you a PM.
  3. You found a great deal. I paid $600 for a new Denon 2910 on 08/31/05.
  4. The Kenwood car stereo system was a great system in 1985. All the above gear was in Chevy conversion van for 3 years. I loved the system so much I couldn't part with it when I traded the van in on a new 1988 Daytona. The Chrysler dealer agreed in writing to pull out all the stereo gear from the Chevy van without even looking in the van. He was surprised to find so much gear had to pulled out of the van when I drove it into the service bay. [] I had all the car stereo gear custom installed into the Daytona - including the 15" subwoofer. It was hard to tell which made the Daytona vibrate more - the speakers or the engine. In 1993 all this gear was still functioning perfectly when I pulled all the equipment out of Daytona before I sold it. I intended on installing this car stereo in another car, but for next 13 years the stereo equipment just sat in boxes in my study. Now I plan on selling all this equipment on Ebay. This will be the first time I have sold anything on EBay. I need to find out what process must be followed to place a listing. But first, I would like to find out what the value of all this equipment is. Will it be easier and/or more profitable to sell each piece separately? I am hoping I will get suggestions from this forum for sale prices that would guide me in setting a reasonable expectation for fair market value for this equipment. Any price determined from the wealth of knowledge the Klipsch forum members possess should be more accurate than a wild guess I could make. Meanwhile I'll keep searching EBay and googling for equipment prices. I hope that I will be able to earn enough after selling all this gear along with a Vector Research VRX-8000 receiver and a VQ-100 equalizer to make a good down payment on a Heresy III for my home stereo center channel speaker. I trust Dr Who's recommendation that the Heresy III would be a good match for Cornwall III main speakers. Back to googling and searching EBay ........
  5. I found a website that is still selling this speaker for $109.90. http://www.3lsound.com/spkrprcs2003.htm#cervga Since the speaker I am selling sat in storage for the last 13 years and is in good condition, would a fair EBay reserve price be $40??
  6. I will be attempting to sell an old Cerwin Vega LE-15D Subwoofer on Ebay. Anyone have recommendations on what would be a fair reserve price? I purchased this speaker as part of $1500+ upgrade of a stereo system in a van in 1985. Speaker is in excellent condition and has been in storage since 1993. I also plan on selling the following car stereo components: 1 Kenwood KRC-999 Receiver with manual 1 Kenwood KGC-4400 5-band Equalizer, SubWoofer Volume and Front/Rear Volume Controller 3 Kenwood KAC-7020 Amps 70 watts per channel 1 Kenwood KAC-8200 Amp (http://cgi.ebay.com/Kenwood-KAC-8200_W0QQitemZ9745096983QQihZ008QQcategoryZ39734QQcmdZViewItem) 2 Kenwood KAC-5020 Amps 50 watts per channel 2 Kenwood KFC 6977 6x9 speakers 100 watts 2 Kenwood KFC 6988 6x9 speakers 150 watts
  7. I am planning on selling an old Vector Research VRX-8000 receiver and the matching Vector Research VQ-100 equalizer on EBay. Anyone have suggestions for a fair reserve price???
  8. My memories of the first time are not that old. I was at Ovation Audio in Cincinnati Ohio on 09/30/2005. I posted my experience here on this forum and on the audioholics forum: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/thread/654212.aspx From audioholics forum: "Yesterday I made an 80 mile round trip to hear Paradigm S4 and Paradigm Studio 100 speakers with my collection of SACDs in hand. I would have gone to my local Paradigm dealer if he had Studio 100s in stock. I first went to the showroom with Paradigm S4s. I listened to Eric Clapton's "Key To The Highway" off the "Layla" CD and several tracks from Buddy Guy's "DJ Play My Blues" CD. I was disappointed when I noticed that the S4s seemed to muffle the high frequencies in comparison to the Mackie SRM450s. I noticed the same muffled high frequency when I played the same tracks on another system in another showroom with Studio 100s. These speakers did not produce the sound I was accustomed to hearing on stages or in the audience of live performances where admittedly all music was amplified via high wattage PA amps with horn drivers. When I expressed my opinion to the dealer he told me that most home-audio speakers would not be able to approach the same sound of live performances unless they were also equipped with horn drivers. He then allowed me to listen to the same CD tracks on another system with Klipsch Reference RF7s. I was floored by how much Klipsch RF7 speakers sounded like my Mackie SRM450s at home. Then I was surprised to find that they are 33% less than the cost of S4s. Now I am considering Klipsch Heresy II from their Heritage line or the Klipsch RF7s for my front speakers to be driven by the Anthem P2. I have read many posts on audiophile forums that have claimed that Klipsch horn speakers, especially the lines below the Reference line (e.g. Synergy), are too bright. I would be curious to see the results of a survey among pro/amateur rock musicians where they were posed the question "Do horn speakers like the Klipsch RF7 produce a sound that is too bright for home audio?" Now I need to find a dealer who has Klipsch Heresy II in stock for a demo. I think I have found my "dream" home-audio front speakers in one of these Klipsch speaker models." On March 29, 2006, (nine days after my B-day), I carried my first Klipsch speakers into my home, Cornwall IIIs.
  9. From one proud owner of Cornwall IIIs to another: Congratulations on your purchase! Please post some pictures when you get the time. Welcome to the Klipsch forum.
  10. My last CD purchase was the 2 CD Deluxe Edition of Eric Clapton's "461 Ocean Boulevard". My Cornwalls resurrect the sound of the "Live" CD.
  11. I sent my contribution. Thanks Dean for arranging this. Its support efforts like this that convinces me this is a great forum!
