  1. I have owned three pairs of RB-35s in my time and two of the three pairs were used in a stereo rig with very nice performance, with and without a subwoofer. I only sold(7 years ago) my most recent pair because of the acquisition of a beautiful pair of cherry RB-75s. The 75s are incredible in stereo and I would say that the 35s would get you about 80% there. No shade on the 35s, just highest praise for the 75s. Bill
  2. Very nice amp. Good luck with your sale. Bill
  3. Well that is a bummer. Maybe contact another seller and see if they will match the Costco price. Tell them the story. Bill
  4. Bump again with price drop to $200.00 local pickup. Bill
  5. Find yourself a B&K Reference 200.5 or 7250 and call it a day. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303991985098?hash=item46c75593ca:g:xfIAAOSwZrdgmJGs Bill
  6. Well than you sir. I am sure with some work I could make that happen. Bill
  7. @srini0603, Welcome to the forum. Sorry about your bad luck. I say return to Costco and exchange or get your $$$ back. Bill
  8. @JerseyMike, Welcome to the forum. Very nice setup. While I agree that separates are the "best" way to go for maximum performance, the Anthem MRX 1140 is a solid flagship AVR from a very highly praised manufacturer. If it will meet your channel needs, I say get the MRX 740 and add a 2-channel or even better 3-channel amp later, if "needed". The MRX 740 has basically the same internal components as the MRX 1140 but with only 7 sets of main speaker terminals. Bill
  9. No, the AVR companies are rating power at 6 ohms to artificially inflate the numbers. Any upper midlevel AVR from any of the major mfr's should do the trick just fine. Bill
  10. 1992 VW Corrado SLC VR6. Loved it but it was a $$$ pit when things needed repairing. Not mine in photo but same model and color. Bill
  11. @mayo, Welcome to the forum. Looks to be a nice room for entertainment. Excellent choice for the Cornwall IVs. Also can be used in conjunction with an AVR with "HT Bypass" function, even though Yamaha does not call it that. Not ideal but probably doable because of it's horizontal orientation. Definitely ideal for timbre matching but you would have to get creative in making it happen. I get that the room is not perfect but in the main listening position I bet it will sound better than you might think with some added sound dampening room treatments and maybe an acoustic curtain/drapes for the sliders.

  12. @Honeyhamms, Welcome to the forum. If this is for stereo playback only, I suggest an affordable stereo integrated amplifier to get your feet wet. There are also a few modern stereo receivers that should do the trick. Determine your budget and your overall needs and go from there. Here are a couple of stereo receivers that will not break the bank. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/yamrn602bl-rb/yamaha-r-n602-2-ch-x-80-watts-networking-stereo-receiver/1.html https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/dendra800h/denon-dra-800h-2-x-100-watts-stereo-receiver-w/heos/1.html A little more $$$ but highly praised and packed with features. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/yamrn803bla/yamaha-r-n803-2-ch-x-100-watts-networking-stereo-receiver-new/1.html Bill
  13. Well that is solid proof that is not the problem. Maybe wired out of phase? Maybe not well timbre matched to the RB-61IIs. Tough to say. When I first got my RC-64 several years ago, I kind of thought the same as you are experiencing. I changed amps, experimented with crossover settings, and bumped up the center channel volume a bit. My NAD T175HD pre/pro has a setting with the tone controls called "center dialogue" and it really made a difference. All this combined pretty much made my soundstage seamless. Bill
  14. @Shanery, Welcome to the forum. Sorry you are not quite happy with your 504c. Where/how is your 504c placed? Is it in a closed "tunnel" where the rear port is not allowed to "breathe"? What are your current settings? Is the 504C on the same plane as your ears, or is it mounted low or high? Bill
  15. Big fan of their Doppelbock. Bill
  16. @condensedflesh95, Welcome to the forum. Here is a very nice used pair with stands for a very good price. https://newyork.craigslist.org/que/ele/d/astoria-klipsch-rp-600m-speakers-stands/7315789475.html Bill
  17. I paid $650.00 shipped from Tacoma, Washington a few years ago for a cherry pair and they are worth every penny. At $475.00, it is a steal. Bill
  18. @JDMezi, Welcome to the forum. With that size room(2060+ cu.ft.), I think the RP-600Ms will be just fine with the RP-504C. Don't skimp on the SW by getting a 10" or 12", a 15" at minimum will have a much greater impact when those action movies are played. No need to apologize, our forum is not here for just complaints and "opinions", we are here to help also. Bill
  19. I was about to point out that @Benny33 is the same as benjmar. How could he have listed here before Christmas 2020 and then bought on Ebay a couple of months ago and then listed here to flip? @Benny33, sorry for your bad experience here. Bill
  20. Aja and Rumours were two I guessed before clicking and are my two go to for demoing my speakers. Bill
  21. @Bakerlady1, Welcome to the forum. You have yourself some very special speakers. First take and post some very detailed photos to show condition. Please de-dust them before you do, if not it will show and will not give a good visual representation of your Khorns. Make sure you take photos of the labels as well as the internals(crossover, wiring, etc.). Your geographic location is important because of demand. Folks on this forum will give honest and relatively accurate estimations of their market value and this forum here is the best place to sell them. Bill
  22. Second Pfizer five minutes ago. Wife got hers yesterday, bodyaches fever chills.
