  1. Got a single Chorus 2 for sale but none of the original flavor.
  2. Three and a half hour camp out netted one Wii for myself. Wii sports is a blast with each sports game play being very enjoyable. I really enjoy Boxing, Bowling and Tennis. Playing two person boxing or tennis will have just about anyone sold on this system. I am holding off on playing Zelda until I get my componet cables in the mail tomorrow!
  3. I have a few pairs of Fortes and one set of Chorus for sale in the North County (Carlsbad) area of San Diego. Shipping either of these speakers is not advised, all of mine were aquired through local pickup. The Chorus pair are WO with good corners and a few veneer dings (one big scrape) here and there 8 out 10 veneer condition / 10 out of 10 driver condition. Three pair of Fortes, one WO in excellent condition 9-10 out of 10, one OO sans risers in 8 of 10 condition (rear passive is missing dustcap), and one OO with beatup risers and pushed in dust caps (I believe) 8 out of 10 condition. I will try and post a few pics of the Chorus later today and if needed go take the pics of the Fortes. Give a PM or post back if you are interested.
  4. Samsung has been on the bleeding edge of DLP technology since Texas Instruments started selling their chips. Mistubishi had some of the best quality CRT front (for computer monitors) and rear projection CRTs. RP CRT still has the best overall image quality for DvD movies when compared to any digital tech IMO.
  5. I don't know a whole lot about front projectors but if you head over to avsforum.com that would be the first place that I would start for learning. Cheers
  6. Another vote for Yammie and Klipsch combo. I got a helluva deal on a used RX-V1500 through craigslist - $200.00. The HTR series specs makes me cringe at .7% THD. The digital panny listed in this thread might be a good option to go with Buckster.
  7. Nope, not buying one nor have I bought any Sony hardware since the original PS1. Nintendo has it right IMO for this generation. No super high res, 480 p, easy to use development tools. no multi core processing, new controller tech (they were first with the d-pad, analog stick now the gyro controller) and a back to the basics fun that video games are supposed to have. Games have become way too bloated due to an emphasis on graphics over game play. There were a handful of titles that were really unique on the PS 2 but alas that did not make me want to buy one. Gamecube had a ton of unique titles (mainly from Nintendos in house developement) which for me drives the sale of the hardware.
  8. If you are looking for a good set of floorstanders and want vintage Klipsch might I suggest buying a pair of Fortes instead. They dig much deeper (-3 db @ 32 Htz) and IMO are just better overall speakers than the Heresys for two channel listening. The Quartet, Forte and Chorus are what some would term Neo-Heritage Klipsch as PWK still had a hand in their design.
  9. Not real familiar with the AR 142 but I have restored a few pairs of ARs in the past. I don't exactly know what might be "broken" on your speakers but my guess the foam surrounds went south and need replacement (which you can do yourself). Check ebay for vintage-ar seller as he tends to stock parts for most of the 60s to 80s AR speakers. Next head to classicspeakers.net and try to gather any information or parts that you might need.
  10. http://cgi.ebay.com/Klipsch-KLF-20-Replacements_W0QQitemZ280047239532QQihZ018QQcategoryZ61378QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Thought someone might have a use for em.
  11. KG 4 is a good choice but you could also get the KG 5.5 at around $300.00. I listen and own a pair of 5.5s and they are a pretty good speaker but the three way heritiage and neo hertiage klipsch blow the doors on them.
  12. Another vote for Orange County Speaker Repair if you are on the West coast. This is a fine place to go for all repairs and less costly components.
  13. I second throwing another $100.00-$150.00 in the pot and getting a good floorstander. My suggestion would be to get a local Klipsch Forte for $400.00-$450.00. Forte is a lot of speaker for the money.
  14. Eghad 2 gigs of ram? Heck no, unless you plan on running high end games, video / music recording / editing, or heavy duty photoshop use there is absolutely no reason to get 2 gigs. Dual core? Please people don't buy in to this marketing trickery. Your average computer user does not need that much computing power. If you computer was working for you just fine and dandy the first few years (and your application use has not changed) then stick with the old machine as it is still viable.
