Is that one driver on its own, or two in series with a horn?

That was one on its own - without horn.

Does anybody have a frequency response of this speaker. Does it require EQ? Is it really usable down to 800 hz?

Here is the measured raw response (with 80uf protection cap): 

 

[WTB: Used Iphone]

Hi All.

I’ve had good luck buying used iPhones from fellow forum members than trying to buy something from eBay. 

 

I’m sure that many here have had to buy/upgrade their kids’ or spouse’s phone - if they have an older iPhone laying around - preferably 12 or newer, can you please message me? 
 

Thanks,

[FS: North Creek Audio Echo (LCR + free sub) - DC/MD/VA Metro Only]

(Due to weight – local DC/MD/VA Metro Area only). 

Available for sale is the North Creek Audio Echo Speakers system– 3.1 speakers (LCR + free sub).
 
The cabinet construction was overkill, all Baltic Birch plywood with 1.5” baffle. They are finished in beautiful teak veneer with three coats of Waterlox tung-oil finish.

They were lightly used in a bedroom system, never pushed hard. I had designed the Left/Right to be wall-mounted (using a recessed French cleat system) – but they work just as well on speaker stands. T

hey are sealed speakers and are meant to be used with subwoofer. I can include a passive mini-subwoofer to go with these (built using the Tang Bank W5-1138MF - basically Voxel subwoofer) – also finished in teak veneer. 

They are 10/10 in both functional and physical condition. Also included in the sale are a spare pair (2) woofers (just in case you ever damage them and need a replacement). 

I’ve included horizontal polar measurements from 0-80. This measurement was at 1 meter, response further away was even more smoother. 

So you are essentially getting: 

 8 – North 13W-06S woofers 
 3 – North D25-06S Silk Dome Tweeter
 1 - Tang Band W5-1138MF woofer

Everything enclosed in beautiful teak Baltic Birch cabinets. 

I don’t know what to ask, but I was thinking maybe $250?

[Plinius SA100 - MKIII - Washington DC Metro Local Sale Only - $1,750]

I'm sure that many of you can relate that this "audiophile" hobby can be very much about churning through various audio components ---- we have all been guilty of it from time to time.

But that being said - this amplifier has been the one item of audio I have owned the longest.

I believe I purchased it around 2007 - almost 16 years ago (maybe even earlier?). That's a long time to own something in this hobby.

I have owned many other amplifiers over the same period .... but to my ears, this amp always sounded the best.

It has the brute strength of a Class A solid-state, and yet still possesses the musicality of the nice tube amplifier. It does equally well with high-efficiency systems (e.g. Oris horns, Klipschorns, JBL 4345s, etc) as well as low-efficiency (e.g., various DIY speakers I've built over the years).

I have preferred this amp over the following amps I have owned during the same period:
1) McCormack DNA 0.5 Delux
2) McCormack DNA-2
3) Eico - Rebuilt Tube-MonoBlocks
4) McIntosh 7270
5) Welborn 300B DRD
6) Krell KSA-250
7) Music Reference RM-9
😎 Bryston 2B LP
9) Don Allen 1626
10) Baldwin Tube Amplifiers
11) others?

I had listed it back in 2016 - but decided to back out after not being able to find a better replacement.

There is just something special specifically about the MKIII version of this amp - just take a look at reviews on audioreview.com, or other forums.

But now I am at a point when I will be simplifying my system.

It is in excellent condition and has performed flawlessly, without a single hiccup, in my almost 16+ years of ownership.

I don't know what is a fair price, but I don't think you will do much better than this amp at my asking price of $1,750 - and I'd like to stay firm on that price for now.

Due to the size and weight - I am listing this amp for local Washington DC metro area sale only..

Feel free to PM if you have any questions.

[FS: Audio Electronics by Cary AE3-DJH Super Preamp]

Available for sale is my DJH Preamplifier

It is in excellent condition. The pictures included are of my actual preamplifier. Upgraded v-caps 

Many like to advertise their products as "hardly used" / "barely used" / etc.

That is NOT the case with this preamplifier. I loved it - and I used it plenty ...daily. Every time it has performed absolutely flawlessly since the day I bought it.

All local parties are welcome to inspect/audition it in person. $1,100 + Shipping from 20817

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Music Hall DAC 25.3 - Tube DAC- Burrson Audio Upgrade - $425]

Available for sale is my Music Hall DAC 25.3 - Tube Digital to Analog Converter - $425

It was upgraded with Burron Audio Opamps!!!!

This is an excellent DAC. Even if you are a hardcore measurement guy/gal - take a look at how well new/old music hall dacs perform based on the ASR website.

This is one of the few dacs where the measurement guys/gal agree on its outstanding performance.

It is in fantastic functional/physical condition. - Check out hi-res pics.

Solely used for my "Computer Audiophile" based music server.

It has performed flawlessly from the day I bought it.

[SOLD: Klipsch Cornwalls (1.5?) with glass tops - Local pickup Wash DC Metro Only]

Available for sale are a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls, I believe from the mid-eighties (S/N 30X705/6). I've owned from for the last 17 years (since 2005), and I believe I recapped them shortly after purchased based on the rebuild kit Bob used to sell back then. The binding posts were also updated. 

 

Sonically - they are a solid 10/10. Cosmetically, I would rate them an 8-ish - certainly living room friendly. 

 

I'm thinking $1,000 for the pair is a good price?

[Interview with Greg Timbers (formerly of JBL) at DIYaudio Plus PART TWO added 6/22]

Thanks, Tom. Agree with your assessment about "not always crisp". 

Erin mentioned it wasn't meant to be an "interview", but just a casual chat between enthusiasts. That being said - it does seem like a missed opportunity to discuss more technical concepts re speaker design from one of the best in the industry. I'm super impressed with Erin's guest list so far - I just wish the channel could expand to covering  more technical concepts.

It honestly sounds great, it's just a little too sweet and smooth for my tastes in class A,   

 

That is a very fair and accurate assessment - I do think it is "sweet and smooth" - almost laid-back ("tube-like") to me - but that is precisely why I have enjoyed it with horn-based speakers. I do think anyone who purchases this amp will be really happy with it. I mates really well with a lot of speakers. 

[.]

I've gone through  ALOT of gear being in this hobby - constantly switching my gear - but my Plinius SA100 MKIII has been in my system now for 13 years. I love this amplifier. 

I kept it over my VRDs, Welborn 300Bs, McIntosh 7270, McIntosh 2505, McCormick DNA 0.50 and 2.0, and many other amps that I'm forgetting. 

 

Only one that came close was McCormick 2.0 - but I still like the Plinius most. 

 

I also think the Plinius mates really well with all Klipsch gear.

Considering the components used, that is some seriously good value. Best of luck with your sale. 

[FS: SOLD]

BUMP - How come no love for this deal? 

 

I would imagine a trio of Klipsch Heresys + JBL 2242H Subwoofer + Near Perfect pair of RS-7s are worth at least $900???

 

 

[FS: SOLD]

BUMP! I need these gone before the Holidays. 

 

How about $OLD for this combined package.!!!!

3 - Heresy Professionals!!!

2 - RS-7s surrounds!!!

1 - JBL 4645B!!!

[FS: SOLD]

Thanks all. 

 

Just wanted to update with some pictures of the RS-7. 

They are overall excellent condition. There is slight vinyl wrinkle on the top left of one cabinet - but that never visible due to their typical mounting height. 

 

 

[Audio Science Review of Heresy IV]

- geeeez  ,  we all know the Heresy is not a Studio monitor ,  but it sure sounds great to a lot of people 

 

So true. We still have a pair at my parents' (Heresy II - "Signature Edition" - walnut with cane grills 🙂 ). 

 

I think its a great speaker - but I must say I have to agree that the Heresy require a sub. Its the same reason why so many fellow forum members here love the Cornwalls. Cornwalls are definitely more "full-range" than the Heresy - mind you they are 3 times the size (lol). 

 

In a smaller room, with close proximity to rear/side walls - the bass may be sufficient with room gain. However, in a larger space, augmenting them with a sub is the way to go.

To my non-technical mind, speakers should be measured in room, placed as they were designed to be placed, and not upside down in the driveway. . 

 

 

 

While I generally agree with this statement (because I too have a non-technical mind) - I think the intent of taking outside ground-plane measurements was to isolate the response of the speaker. Given every potential buyers' room could be different, I think it still helpful to see what the speaker is solely producing vs. what its produces in someone's specific room (because my room response could be vastly difference). 

 

I'm a Heresy fan (and a Klipsch Heritage fan in general - having owned Cornwalls, La Scalas, Khorns, modified Khorns, etc.) - and I still thoroughly enjoyed the review. The speaker was not Erin's cup of tea - and that is perfectly fine. I still think its super awesome for him to provide such measurements. I agree with what Chris said, one doesn't need to go by his "bottom line conclusions" - but they can still make their own judgement based on measurements provided. 

 

I did follow Erin's measurement thread at Diyaudio.com - and it was crazy the amount of testing / procedures he went through to perfect measurement technique. Thus, I have a lot of confidence in his measurements.

[FS: SOLD]

(Washington DC Metro Area Pick-up Only)

 

Helping my brother unload his Home Theater which consists of the following:

 

Klipsch KP-250-II - Three - Left/Right/Center - Excellent functional condition, but slight imperfections in paint due to age

JBL 4645B - 18" Subwoofer - Excellent Functional condition, but cabinet needed repairs that i have already made, the driver is in 10/10 funtional/cosmetic condition 

Klipsch RS-7 - Black excellent physical/functional condition.

 

Don't know a fair price, but I we were thinking of asking (Now $SOLD!!!) for the whole package. I can't think of any home theater package that would even come close to this performance for the price. 

 

As of now, we are not interested in selling any of the components separately. I figured the L/R/C KP-250-IIs are worth at least $600, the RS-7 should be an easy $250, and assuming $0 for the JBL 4645B cabinet, the 2242H driver is alone worth $150 (rock bottom).

 

Will try and upload pictures soon, but PM me if you are interested.

 

[Will the Heresy (KP 250-II) benefit from lining the cabinet with sound absorption material?]

Title say it all: will the Heresy (KP 250-II) benefit from lining the cabinet with sound absorption material? 

 

I have three Klipsch KP-250-II that I previously lent to my brother for HT use. He is dismantling his system and just returned the speakers.

 

As I peeking inside the cabinets through the ports, I noticed there was no sound absorption material on the walls. Do you all think lining the walls with some material would help with anything? 

 

I would think it would at least help mute some of the sound ways from the back side of the woofer, which currently escape through the port without attenuation?  

 

Thoughts?
