    Thank You HudsonValleyNoah

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    Just wanted to publicly thank Noah for providing me with the NOS RF-7 grills.

    I was surprised to be able to find NOS grills as easily as I did. One post in the garage sale forum and Noah came to the rescue.

    Noah is a great guy to deal with and I am fortunate to have hooked up with him at this time. I know he has been a member of the Klipsch community for quite some time. I'm sure others have had successful dealings with him in the past.

    Thanks again Noah.

    I picked up a pair of RF-7's version 1 back before Xmas. They had no feet or grills. HudsonvalleyNoah was good enough to sell me some grills and provided one set of feet for the RF-7'S. Still needing a set of feet for the other speaker, I contacted Klipsch today and they have graciously committed to provide two nos sets of feet with hardware and spikes for free.

    You got to love these guys.

    Thank you Klipsch, you're awesome!

    RC-7

    in Home Theater

    I picked up an RC-7 with the RF-7's I purchased. Seller threw it in. One woofer cracked and the other has a bit of a wrinkle in the cone. I bought a replacement woofer for the cracked one, but not sure if the wrinkled one will need replacement. When I listened to it at the seller's home it sounded OK. I on!y picked up the replacement woofer because I have no intention of keeping it as I am strictly two channel. I intend to sell it. Cabinet OK with some scuffs here and there. Will that wrinkled woofer need to be replaced to get a decent amount for it? Is three hundred a fair price?

    K 48's in 75' Cornwalls

    I landed some Eminence 15" woofers (K48's). They are new old stock and according to my research, they were used in the ChorusI and II's.

    I am pondering the idea of replacing the woofers in my 75' Cornwall's with them. My Cornwall's have a K33 and a K43 in them. I have wanted to put like woofers in them since my purchase of them in 2006, but have never picked up woofers until recently. The deal on the woofers was too good to pass on, so I got them.

    Will these woofers work well in the Cornwall's? The difference in total cabinet size between Chorus and Cornwall is not much. I am hoping that these woofers will work well in the Cornwall cabinets.

    Any thoughts or ideas?

    First post. Cornwall question.

    Welcome to the forum.

    My experience with the Klipsch Heritage line of speakers, is that they sound great with vintage ss gear or tube gear.

    If you have the room, (or even if you don't) I suggest buying many more examples of Klipsch Heritage speakers.

    Many of us have and some still do.

    Enjoy the Cornwalls. I think you will be happy with them.

    And, by the way, G-9000? How cool is that?

    Carver M-500t - SOLD!

    in Garage Sale

    I owned one for about two years and other than replacing a light in one of the meters, I had no issues.

    I sold it when I bought my MC-2105 and wished I hadn't.

    As for price in the condition it is in, I don't have a clue.

    Let me know when you figure out how much you want for it. If you don't want much, I may think about taking it off your hands.

    I hate buying things with issues, because you never know what the cost will be, if it is repairable.
