  1. Wow, that was fast. Thank you very much. Let me also ask: wouldn't the name Heresy be spelled out or is that a convention that might have changed over the years? Also, was 1984 a good(desirable) year for Heresy or...???
  2. Fellow is selling a system including two Klipsch speakers. When asked what the speakers were he didn't know so I asked for the label info on the back. His response: "This is what is on the back of the speaker. Type: Hwo Serial Number 8409796, 8409797 Inspected by: Judie Purtle Tested by: Mike Brantley " Can someone please help me with this? I did not find Hwo on a search. Thanks, Tom
  3. "No problemo, I'm glad you got it. I'll put up another lyric shortly. Seems like I always put up something no one gets. I thought I gave great hints too. " Thank you!
  4. Turn? I just stumbled in here and saw the question. Guess I messed up a long running thread here huh? Didn't notice it was 50-some pages. Golly... I'm just working late on a report and wanted a break. Now look what I've done. And all my old vinyl is packed away yet from our recent move in... Oh, wow is me.. Hey Mark, I know it's an imposition but could you grant me a pass and put up another of your own? My brain is really fried. Thanks. If not..............someone else? Sorry about the intrusion. I'm so embarrassed. [:$] but not really.
  5. Thank you very much. I do appreciate it.[] ..................................... Merkin and Michael; please let me know if you find too many or the wrong color match or whatever. Thanks. Tom under his breath : (seems to me we should ration and control how many one person can own...) []
  6. Well thank you very much. It will be awhile but I may just take you up on your kind offer. Right now I am in caregiver mode as my bride of 42 years is convalescing from major back fusion surgery just one week ago. But we do get to and thru your area on occasion so you may have a taker. If you hear of any Forte IIs in the Northwest please keep me in mind. (I take it you are most happy with yours...[]
  7. Quite a bit further North and West in Kalispell; Flathead County. [] . You?
  8. I am very impressed by all of this and from other events I have read about as I've become familiar with this forum. Ordinary folks doing extraordinary things for others. Thats what life should be all about. Thank you! ............. Now, running the risk of that last message being construed as self-serving, may I just ask: Is it unusual for other members to offer their used equipment for sale on the forum before going on ebay for example? Well, let me throw out this request if that is appropriate. When I first saw the offer to obtain a pair of Forte IIs for $350 my heart jumped. (As some of you know I have a new/old 2 channel setup with Sansui & Yamaha equipment and new RF-35s and now want to have great sound in my office and master bedroom as well.) I am happy with/and for all involved in this transaction and at the way it turned out. Being up here in Montana shipping would have been imperative.........and all that that entails so even if I had gotten here first I might not have been able to complete the deal to the sellers satisfaction. So, is it possible that someone else has a similar pair of speakers or knows of a set in excellent condition that I could purchase? I am in no great hurry and could wait for the seller to get his/her/their new speakers before shipping mine or whatever it entailed. Naturally I would pay all costs up front since you barely know me. Please let me know. Thank you very much.
  9. Thanks Nicholti; WOW! a personal testimony that I really enjoyed receiving. Nice to know someone else has the same system and that it performs well. If you read my post above you'll see the RF-35s seem to beg for more and I'm on the lowest possible setting because JoAnn, my wife, is resting and now isn't the time to experiment. I think I am going to be very pleased............at least for awhile.[] I am learning more every day and hope I can find a source for the owners manuals and schematics. If I can't find them soon do you suppose your dad could have them copied for me? I would gladly reimburse you/him for all expenses and for the help. There is so much about these components that I need to learn and understand. It sure would be helpful.
  10. Thanks for the response and input James. I'm beginning to warm up these components already. Would you mind translating your last sentence for me? I am a newbie and don't speak the language too well yet. [:$] Does my Amp at 205 watts mean anything to you? And regarding your statement about "You can also pull the hooks on most real Sansui receivers and use them either as an amp or just the pre-amp section." Is this why the Receiver box says 10 watts on it? Meaning it could push small speakers by itself? Thats interesting.
  11. Hey everyone; it's a good day up here, a little snow, 14 degrees, low wind, and my system with the new RF-35s is beginning to warm my heart. [] Got everything hooked up this morning and the Tuner/Receiver and Amp boxes seem to be performing well. :music: The Tape Player however has a loud cycling hum or noise that sounds like the tape drive is engaged but neither post is rotating. So I powered it down. The Amp has inputs for both a Tape 1 and a Tape 2. I do not see an AUX port(s). So I ran the two leads from the new Yamaha CDC-685 into tape 2. R channel works but L channel very faint unless I depressed the selector switch and held it in. Then both sides seemed equal. Since the Tape Player needs some attention(I can't stand there with my finger on the switch and tend to chores... [] ) I ran the CDC into Tape 1 and it performs beautifully. Any thoughts would be appreciated... So, I do have sound and this Amp must be strong because even though I knew the Klipsch RF-35s were very efficient this Amp is coasting at the low, low, low end. The plate on the rear of the Receiver/Tuner says 10 Watts. The Amp says Voltage 110, Power 205 Watts. Is that about standard? Sounds like alot to me. (since my wife is home now recovering from serious back surgery I played about 3 minutes of Mannheim Steamroller just for a test and then put on some "feel good" music for her.) I can't wait to really test it out on Jazz, Classical, etc. Thanks for your help everyone. And I would appreciate input re: the tape player and Tape 2 selector switch if you have ideas.
  12. Thanks very much. I am a bit nervous. I went over to the Sansui forum and asked for referrals to a manual source where I might buy needed documents. If anyone can help me in this regard as well I would be grateful. Thanks, Tom
  13. Hi everyone. Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I did buy a Yamaha CDC-685 CD changer and picked up my RF-35s an hour ago. Now I'm beginning to panic because I have no manuals to follow and the Amp has a lot of cryptic legends on the back plus something regarding the speaker hookups ; ie: "caution speaker impedance 8 ~ 16 ohms". And I sure don't want to fry these new speakers. Is this a normal caution? Can I hurt anything? Any suggestions? I am going over to the Sansui forum to see if they can help too. I appreciate all of you and would welcome any suggestions. Thanks again.
  14. Thanks Josh.......just signed up. Are 45 to 50 WPC enough to energize the RF-35s? That may be where I am with these components based on something I read over there. Larry; thank you. I look forward to it when you have a chance. This is a hectic week since my wife's surgery Monday and I may be able to bring her home tonight or tomorrow. But if I'm not here just leave a msg and I'll call back. Tom
