Like $1500, something, not higher..
For that price you can get Cornwalls but the size would be the down fall...
Where are you located? Maybe forum members can invite you over to take a listen to their systems so you can take your favorite music to see how it sounds.
Good luck on your search.

Appreciate also other alternatives as long they're not more expensive than the heresies
And what will that price be?

As mentioned earlier and what you went thru picking out your camera. See if you can take your mom to the store or a few and see which ones see likes the best. It still has to fit her hands and she has to be comfortable with it or it will just sit at home and she will still be using the disposable ones. I know that you would take the time to show her how to use it but she still has to be comfortable with it.
When I purchased a digital camera for my gf she liked it but has only now started to carry it around with her all the time, this is after a few years of owning it. Now my mom is another story and she will keep using her 35mm camera so I'm not even going to try.

They aren't that bad really, one just has a stain that has kind of bleached (for lack of a better work, not that extreme) out one spot on the cover. I wonder if I just took a can of black satin spray paint and lightly misted them both so they'd match if that would look ok. Maybe there is some spray die I guy could buy at like Hobby Lobby. For some reason I'm reluctant to go the paint route, in my mind I fear it will effect the sound since it will clog the grill a little bit. I'm sure thats ridiculous but it comes to my mind every time I'm about ready to get the paint out!
I think that if you do the misting that it wouldn't clog or stick the grill material together. The die route might not cover that spot area the same so it will still look lighter. If I were you I would try the spray paint but as stated just mist the grill material and do one at a time to see the results. Worth a shot since you have the material to try it out. It would be cool to see how it comes out, thats for sure.
Maybe contact Bob and see what he thinks and might recommend for the replacement material.

Can't wait to see the ticket prices though and that could spell doom for me.
I was just telling my gf and that was the ending to our conversation also, ticket price...

DJ great looking setup up..
I have to ask, how is the XPA-3 with the RF-83 and RC-64? Have you used any other amps on that setup?
James

Clermontcop,
Great looking setup. What equipment are you running the Corns and Heresy with?
Also where is the picture of the scratch on the Heresy?
James
-
i think im pretty much done tweaking for now, its sound pretty good, im content with it now
So does this mean that you ARE happy with the RB-10 rears? Any problems getting them aimed to your sitting position?
Also congrats on the setup, post some pictures when you can.

Two on Audiogon right now. Asking $6600 and $9000. Ouch.
Time for patience and perseverance in the hunt.
You can also check out the little brother TD 160.
Here is a great site if you do end up with a Thorens TT. The Analog Dept.

From the looks on the site here the KG 2.2 grill cloth looks different then the Heresy and Cornwall cloth, is that right? I could only think of Bob Crites, but I don't know if that will match what was originally there.

Hi and welcome to the forum...
Here is a great step by step from Groomlake, a member here, that takes you from start to finish on how to re-do your grills. I don't have a pair of '84 Cornwalls but I believe that each has their own cutout.
Good luck and do post pictures of your progress.

Also this could be the last tour, at least that's what he said to the NY Daily News.

Welcome to the forum...
Congrats to you and your husband on the speaker purchase.
Here is the THX web site. If you scroll down you will find the 5.1 surround speaker set up. They list the surround speakers to be placed from 90 to 110 deg. to each side and 2 feet or higher above the listener.

Welcome to the forum...
The guy is asking $700.00 for the pair. Is this a good price,
It all depends on the condition of the speakers and if you have any authorized Klipsch dealers near. The RF-62 have a msrp of $878, so a difference of $178 might not be good at all.
and will it complement my system?
No, you want to have the front three speakers to match. With the RF-62 as fronts you will have Reference mains and an Icon center. You should look for the matching Icon fronts either the VF-36 or the VF-35 to have a perfect timber match.

Also maybe a vintage turntable?
While you are searching AudioGon look for a Thorens TT.

I have to agree with the others, get the MOFI ones. I get them from Music Direct, they get cheaper the more you buy.
James
-
I will look into those options, espesially the Klipsch rocks.
To bad you didn't start looking a few months back. There was a place selling the Klipsch rocks for $99 w/ free shipping and no tax, but only in one color.

James- Good suggestion and a few guys around here have contacted me about demoing their setup I just need to get off my butt and make arrangements!
With the weather breaking it would be a good time to. If I were you I'd take everyone one up that offers, just because some might have the same speakers not all room are equal. I might like one set of speakers at one location and not at another, something to take into consideration.
Don't forget the Pilgrimage that Klipsch is having, another way to hear to great speakers and meet forum members.

I'll admit it looks kind of goofy having this wall of boxes but... it is what it is!
but with everything finished and labeled you not going to have any problems figuring out what is what.
James

Sorry to hear about that. Any way to post a picture to show the problem?
I've had my Custom 3's in the case and don't know how the wire would pull from being in then as you posted,
.it managed to break in the case,
James

Personally I would go with the "Left Cluster" this way you can put labels on the faceplate's and it would be easier to read and understand which is plugged in and what isn't. Maybe even run the wires along that 2x4 and put the boxes there, while facing the closet, the left corner would be the connections for the right cluster in the middle would be for the center cluster and the right corner would be for the left cluster
I do like the ideal of all the same connections together but how would they be labeled to know which outlet is for which location?

Just a thought, how about constructing a unit from plywood and threaded rod supported from your angle iron. or hang it using eye hooks. That way if your not using it, it can be removed easily.
I was going to say the same thing. Someone has their TT mounted this way, I will try and look for the pictures.
James
Here is the thread, a few posts down is the picture. You can do something like that or even use chain, if the wife doesn't like the look you can use a piece of pvc and paint it to cover up the wire or chain.

Rockhound,
I see that you live outside of Houston. Maybe start a new thread to your fellow Texans to see if they will invite you over for a listen. This way you can see for yourself, with your own music, which one will be the best. Texas has a lot of Heritage owns so you might luck out, worth a shot.

Just took a measurement, 6' from inside to inside and 9' to face of speakers from sitting position, speakers are angled. Room in-between the speakers for the equipment and vinyl crates. Other 2 setups are in bedrooms and no real sitting situations.

The first two acoustic panels are up

Did you wrap them in any fabric? If so what kind did you use?
Would it be too late to add some kind of border or trim piece if you really wanted?
They look good and great to hear that they did improve your listening enjoyment. Thats what it's all about. [H] [Y]
