I have seen lots of Rodgers organs with 2 pair of La Scala speakers with full grill. Most were painted white but some came, IIRC, in wood grain. Usually had AA crossovers and seperate amplifiers in the cabinets. Can you see where the amps may have been removed?

Be sure to run Malwarebytes several times. The virus has an exe that can hang around and come back later so do a complete scan.

I use craiglook.com. Works well for me with items listed by date of posting but I am usually looking for a specific item.

Don't know how they survive the winter since they have to eat almost constently.
They are smarter than we; they get out of here in the winter. Only one in the NE is the Ruby Throated. Very pretty and fun to watch.

I'm guessing that tech ran component cables (3, RGB) to the t.v. along with r/l audio cable all in one cable. Does you t.v. have hdmi? If so, there is different way to run the cables. Let us know.Threre is one big honkin cable (6 way I thnk) that the cable tech installed betweent the HD Box and the TV. There are no audio outputs other than what he hooked up.

Most of these models will sound excellent with your high-efficiency loudspeakers. The VITAs are a bargain compared to the cost of modern tube amps, but... But they must be refurbished. Unlike solid-state equipment, which suddenly stops dead when any little ingredient is off spec, tube equipment keeps running. Except the sound quality slowly heads south for the winter...and never returns. Aging tube bias, filters, capacitors and knobs have to be checked, cleaned, replaced or upgraded. Craig has a better reputation than any politician can dream of. His refurbishing fills the lungs of middle age amps and makes them stand up straight again! Although inconvenient, and *** hard to wait for, refurbishing a low cost VITA for high-efficiency loudspeakers provides sonic qualities that rival modern units at several times the price.
If you follow Colin's advice, here is just the amp for you. Read the comments from others.

Stick with the epic series. They come up for sale often and will be a great match for the 3s. Here's a pair of 2s at a good price, even with shipping. Keep checking Craiglook.com and search for Klipsch Epic or Klipsch CF1 or CF2.

Thanks. I'm having fun with them. As to the heat build up, not at all. It's surprising how cool the amps are. Much more than the Jolida or Scott. They were designed to be run with a cage over the tubes and that may be the reason.

Here's a photo of my "new" amps that are currently running my mini home theater. Coupled with the Velodyne subs, they produce some really nice sound. Nice highs coming out of the Telefunken 12ax7s and 12au7s. The Aragon 2007 is sitting on the sidelines for the time being.

For best results, make a tapering jig or buy one of these.

I have used Telefunken, Mullard, Amperex 12ax7 and Sylvania 5751 in mine. My favorite is the Amperex Bugle Boy. Rolling tubes is not cheap [

Thanks, Noah. I'll check it out.

LOL. I think I read someplace that salt and chrome don't mix. No suggestions, gentlemen?I would using "tears of jealousy", which will be available from any of your friends that appreciate audio.
Really brings out the shine in a piece like that.

My closest friend gave me a 225 yesterday. Today I put in two missing 7591s and replaced one bad 12ax7. Sprayed Deoxit in all of the tube sockets and brought it up on a variac. After a long hiatus w/o making music, it certainly is now. Beautiful sounding amp. Before I damage the chrome by doing something stupid, could someone tell me what to use to clean it. There is some pitting but I'm not complaining. Hey, it was free! Any help certainly appreciated. Thanks.

Listen to both and choose the forté that pleases you most. I like the sound of both but prefer the IIs over the Is. Some like the forté I better. See what your preference is.

what should my settings be? on the receiver? on the sub-12 on the back?
The company recommends crossing over at 80hz. The bass below 80 is sent to the subs along with the LFE. Set the sub to the highest crossover frequency if you don't have a bypass switch on the subs.
-
Here's a good discussion on LFE and SUB for receivers:
-
Keep in mind also that there is a difference between a receiver and a seperate pre/pro. Sub manufacturers recommend bypassing the crossover in the pre/pro and using only the crossover in the sub. Cables should run from the pre/pro to the sub, then to the main amp. Crossover setting will depend on the speakers being used and the amount of bass they are capable of reproducing.

Check out Neato.com. They have everything you'll need including software. Images can be inserted into different templates.

I'm using the EXTRA input.

That would work as well and it is what willand suggested but you said you wanted an HDMI run from the box to the tv. As he stated, cable is only providing 720p or 1080i so component is certainly adequate. Your choice [

Since you are not in any hurry, I would wait for something better. They looked well-used. Keep checking Craigslist. Forté speakers show up quite often.

Norton is probably the worst software you can put on your computer. It conflicts with many other programs. Try AVG. It's free. Computer Associates also has a suite available.
