You da Man, Jimbo. And will reciprocate some more of that Cowboy Candy back at you!

Sorry I couldn't find in search. Looking for a 6.0 uF cap for Chorus II midrange but closest is 6.2 from Parts Express. Do I need to be at exactly 6.0? I know I can add two in parallel to get there; possibly using a higher-grade on the smaller value for possible improvement. It still may be impossible to get the exact value, so what is the tolerance in this case? Also what is minimum voltage rating? Asking for a friend ( I really am...cause I own CF-4s ) Rick

Worth it! They are such awesome speakers; like no other Klipsch that I have heard...in a good way! Rick

And I was just about to ask if the C7 is still for sale...

Perfect for that Heritage center channel you've been looking for...pretty good condition and price, too! Not far from me, so if someone seriously interested I can pick it up and store it if needed Rick https://houston.craigslist.org/ele/d/vintage-klipsch-speaker-1980/6664831160.html

A brand new pair of Mahogany CF-4s, updated and refined with Roy's present-day magic, the first pair to roll off the line! How 'bout it, @Chief bonehead ? Rick

Not affiliated but did message the seller that they are Heresy and not Heresy II. https://houston.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipsch-heresy-ii-speakers/6661909027.html Rick

Bottlehead S.E.X. amp! Excellent headphone amp, and can drive most horn speakers to pleasing levels. What a fun project! https://bottlehead.com/product/single-ended-experimenters-kit-3-for-headphones-sensitive-speakers/ Rick

That is what I am thinking of the KLF-30s; a Heresy on steroids! I have yet to hear them, however. BTW, they have two-12s, not 10s. The KLF-20 has 10s Rick

First heard Chorus II a few months back, from this gear dealer and Klipsch lover in Houston, out in the middle of his crowded small living room. He also had Cornwall Is to audition, right there in the same space. He plugged in some lamp cord and plugged the other end into a Carver powerhouse! Toto 'Hold The Line" was freaking rockin' the house! The shear dynamics and authority was overwhelming. My friend was looking for speakers, and I was getting him into Klipsch, so I set up the session. He wanted to hear the Cornwalls, but the Chorus IIs were on my bucket list to listen to. We listened to the Cornwalls first and he said, meh...I wasn't in the market that day so he bought the Chorus IIs on the spot! Later he brought them over for a listen; actually he wanted a shootout with my newly acquired CF-4s. One thing I noticed was the 'graininess' with the Chorus IIs. He was lovin on the sound of the CF-4s, so I politely suggested maybe a crossover update was in order. I will pass along the upgrade possibilities to him.

Morgan James!

Believe it or not, this country-boy from AR, now TX, loves some K D Lang! Tremendous voice! https://www.amazon.com/K-D-Lang-Request-k-d-lang/dp/B00005N5SN Rick

Anyone score the KLF-30s on Houston Craigslist? They were still there last night but gone this morning. Knew I should've jumped on it yesterday when I first saw it! Rick

Prayers for healing and comfort, Bruce

Naw I'm just drooling...have not contacted him. If I had an account on that site I would, however...

When he replies tell him Rick is on his way over to get them...

So you'll let go a pair of them? 😜

Well thanks to @muel, and my thoughts as well, these WILL be going to a graduate; and that graduate is my very own daughter who is graduating college this coming Saturday. I'm not going to get what I need for the speakers and stands, so what better than for them than to stay in the family! Congratulations, Allison, you did it! Of course that won't be her only gift; Mom is at the Galleria as I type, probably looking for an over-priced designer purse or the like So read 'em and weep, boys and girls; these are no longer for sale! Rick

Thanks Erik. Maybe I could have profited a couple hundred, but I think it's only fair to pass along at the same price, if that much, especially to this awesome group of fans. It's like renting them for free! Take care, and hoping you and wife enjoying your new digs! Rick

Yes! That's what I've been telling folks at work, and on the neighborhood site. They ain't buying it, though...maybe I worded it wrong.... "Forgot to add, don't forget that music-loving graduating son (or daughter) headed off to college. You probably do not agree, but he/she would love to have the baddest speakers in the dorm...Ha!" For sure; an excellent graduation gift, and a gift that could last another generation and beyond with proper care!

Weekly bump for these nice WOs. And as of this morning, Wifey has approved the extra funds I'm needing to finance that new power amp and pre/pro, so I really gotta move some surplus! Again, these can be handed off at the Pilgrimage in May. In addition to that trip, next weekend (3-May) we are traveling to Columbus, MS for our daughter's college graduation, and I think I can make room for them. Our usual route is I-10 from Houston to Hammond, LA, then north on I-55 through Jackson then NE to Columbus. Rick

The infamous Straight 8 line arrays created by Doc B and Paul Joppa. Sold in kit form, and now retired. I purchased the partially completed kit and finished, and later built the Version 3 crossover for it. They are pretty efficient around 95-96 dB, but note the nominal impedance is 16 ohms. They worked very well with some vintage tubes, and also my MC250 with its autoformer and 16 ohm taps. Local pickup or I can deliver a distance from the west side of Houston. May have room for them in May en-route to the Pilgrimage. $625 obo Rick

Considering letting these go: Mac MC250 Scheduled for Delivery In Bodcaw! Bottlehead Straight 8 Line Arrays with outboard V3 Crossover Those Fine HWOs I have for sale in Garage Sale Belongs to Daughter now... Custom 24" Stands for said HWOs Ditto! Rick

I need a pair of musical subs for a smallish room. Still have those 18s? Rick

Thanks thebes. Actually I need to update my signature/gear...I can't figure out how to do it. Yes the EL84/6BQ5 is a very nice tube. Lots of midrange detail but with some punch in the low-end, too! As far as vinyl, I have an excellent Bottlehead Seduction phono stage that way out-performs both turntables that I have (nothing fancy). Had a gentleman over to audition the Heresys for sale and he mentioned he had this amp. He was trying to low-ball me on the Heresys and when I wouldn't budge he offered the amp for trade (plus me giving up more cash). Like you said, I don't need the amp; was mostly curious because I had heard some fine Italian-made amps. Here's what a guy on a Facebook page said about the amp: "The Synthesis Ensemble is a fine amp (used to work for a dealer), BUT it is an older series (ca 2005) and is VERY picky on tubes..... You have to have 8 matched tubes or things can go terribly wrong. Bias is not user adjustable (unless you're a tecnician) and the amp does need some TLC every two years or so. Inother words, you need a good (and closeby) distributor." I sold the Khorns last week, and I have two pair of 1983 Heresys; the fine WO pair is for sale in the Garage Sale. I'll probably keep the other pair long-term because I purchased them new in 1983. But what I am gearing up for now is the pair of CF-4s I scored from rockhound! I will probably pair them up with a bad-*** high-end SS power-house amp! At least that's what the experts here are telling me to do...ha! Rick
