I just love to smoke turkey...kinda hard to keep em lit, though... Rick

Hmmm, duration sounds ok, but temps too high, me thinks...especially the 350! Rick

Not an issue...have only one chair in my "cave". Asked the wife if she was offended that I didn't provide her a chair, she just sarcastically rolled her eyes, like, puleeeeeeze....as she wandered back to the living room to watch "Housewives" Very cool, I thought!

Here's my simple solution to the issue; get Klipsch to bring back the Epic line! I absolutely love my "Ugly Betty" CF-4 V2s! Roy put some special magic on these, and you know today he could do even better! And I'm pretty sure there is a market for them. Are you listening @Chief bonehead ? Rick

Reading that, seems I need to orient my KV-4 vertically, just like his big brothers, CF-4s. Now I gotta re-design my new rack (that I'm still designing)... Rick

Chorus II, of course!

Oh ok, I was thinking it would be 300 wpc like the XPA-2. Am in the hunt for a friend, and I'm sure he wants at least 300 wpc. However, I should pick this up for the rest of my HT! But I really want to get some decent sub(s) first...

The XPA-3; what if you don't use the third channel...any harm done? Rick

I actually have picked up a KV-4 from a Forum member; however I have to modify my equipment rack (raise the TV up 5") for the center to fit in its proper place. I'm sure it's going to add much to the system, but at the moment the phantom center works very well. Rick

Phantom center = no center? I have mine set up like that and it is amazing how well it works when set up right! Using CF-4s front and KG4s rear. I am also looking for a budget sub and that Dayton setup looks promising for my very small room. Good luck! Rick

Anyone going from Houston area to DFW area this weekend, or early next week? Have a couple of small tube amps that I’d rather send by car than shipped. Rick

Strictly talking about updating the caps...because they are old. My friend brought his Chorus IIs over and my first impression was graininess in the mids and highs....thought maybe cap "update" was in order. Bottom line, I guess if it doesn't sound worse, then at least you have the peace of mind on caps for another twenty years. Dave, side by side and playing only one at a time, switching back and forth, is what I was suggesting. Rick

Bass has authority and the midrange is glorious! That Lyle Lovett album has great dynamic range and the system is showing that in spades!

My new to me Vincent Baldwin is showing off glowing in the dark...and sounding just glorious pushing the CF-4s. Lyle Lovett, on Joshua Judges Ruth says, hell yeah! Thanks @joessportster Rick

I did a cap change on my Heresys a few years back and got scolded for not doing A/B in between...Coulter are you there?..LOL

When doing updates/upgrades ( I know many don't like to use 'upgrade'), how do you set up the speakers to compare old vs. new; that is, replace caps in only one and compare the two? I would think side by side and send a mono signal one at a time. What say you? Rick

While he stirs the pot...

Server: You want sauce on it? Me: Shouldn't need any, right? But go ahead and put some on the side. Pun aside, I would like the recipe... Rick

Nice! I have a plain ole analog Bottlehead pre I was gonna offer up...never mind... Rick

CF-3s and you spotted it too, Jerry!

Need a center to go with the CF-4 fronts and KG4 surrounds, and other Heritage that I might roll in and out. Honestly, the image is so spot on with just the CF-4s, downright spooky sometimes, you would swear there is an invisible center speaker there. But I know it can be better, and I am finally watching more and more video. Located in Houston Rick

A pair of 601A Duplex. I don't know a lot about these, but I heard a similar pair (15", 605x I think) in an open baffle and it was pretty awesome driven with a single-ended EL84. Rick https://houston.craigslist.org/ele/d/vintage-50s-altec-lansing/6679319529.html

Exchanged a few emails with the gentleman, mostly just talking gear...nice guy! He is close to me so I could check them out for someone. Also spotted something nice in the background... Rick https://houston.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipsch-klf-20-speakers-dual/6695111293.html

I keep coming back here...been lusting after one of these since I first heard about...let me talk to the better half... Rick

I would say Heresys on stands with a musical sub (or a pair), but that is about the same footprint as the kg4. I think sonically you would have a pleasant improvement. If budget is limited look for a used pair. Rick
