Is this oil stained or lacquered?
Lacquered.

will my receiver adequately drive the 8000fs?
I think your receiver will be just fine unless you like it crazy loud continuously.
Most content does not stress all channels at the same time. If you still think your Yamaha is not adequate, adding a used affordable quality stereo amp to drive the 8000Fs will squash any doubts you might have.

Local pickup price change to $225.00 cash.

Yes it will be a noticeable upgrade. Fuller bigger sound and better directivity due to the improved tractrix horn design. Will you be replacing the center speaker also?

Still available...
Someone who is considering an RP speaker system should really take a look at these. Great sounding and beautiful.
NOS is still "new" in my book.

Don't know where your location is but this may be something worth exploring.

Get a pair of any one of the Heresy incarnations. If you don't like(you will), they can be easily resold.

Not lack of bass, lack of low bass.

Welcome to the forum.

How do they sound with the Kenwoods? My buddy once had a vintage Kenwood integrated amp(45w/ch) driving his Chorus 1s and the combo was wonderful.
5 hours ago, Tucahay said:I have read that the Chorus ll sound best with around 100 wpc. I'm wondering how my Onkyo A-7070 will drive these at 70 wpc, any opinions?
Probably pretty darn well. I never owned the A7070 but did have a 90's A-9711(80w/ch) integrated amp driving my Heresy 1s, Heresy 2s, and Quartets and all combos sounded great.

On the other hand, the Klipsch are available in a nice walnut veneer
Keep in mind that it is a vinyl "walnut" veneer but a well done job.

Welcome to the forum.
Definitely sounds like the R-51Ms are defective or maybe connected wrong. Can you show a photo of how they are connected?

The OP said he had some Lore Reference that didn't pass the WAF. If Lores didn't pass the WAF I'm not sure Klipsch Reference/Reference Premier would...
Yes I do understand but what if it turns out that the wife likes the looks of the Klipsch better? Very subjective matter.

What about the Lore Reference failed the WAF test, and how do any of the Klipsch speakers address this? Just curious....
Not sure what you mean. Every speaker I own has passed the WAF. She likes the warmth of real wood so never been an issue.

Keep an eye out for a Luxman R-115. Power specs are underrated, (brochure says 70w, testing says 85w). It & it's more expensive big brother (R-117) sound "warm" & go GREAT with older Klipsch.
I could not agree more. Big regrets selling both my R-117 and R-115.

Welcome to the forum.
Of what you have listed, I would go with the RP-6000Fs all day long. They are fine well balanced speakers that can hold their own in stereo, with or without a subwoofer.
19 hours ago, MarkS3 said:RP-6000F (too deep?)
I can't completely decide that for you but from how you describe your room, I say no not too deep.

Welcome to the forum.
Wow, something seems wrong. I personally feel that mid bass is what the Heresy(I, II, III, IV) does best. No not deep bass but very punchy and clean mid bass.

My first thought also.

I ended up getting rid of mine because it went into safety mode all too often.
Thanks for the "encouragement".
I'll check with owner to see if he had any issues.

Welcome to the forum.
Condition and location will factor in so I will suggest a "researched" range.
Forte II------$600.00 to $1000.00 +/-
KG-1.2------$125.00 to $200.00 +/-
RC-35-------$100.00 to $175.00 +/-

Yes it is. I thought about buying it myself but figured if what I have ain’t broke why make a change.

Nice piece. Good luck with your sale.
Bill

Very nice. I was just looking at used prices about an hour ago in case I was to liquidate my black 105.
Looks like your price is spot on and in my opinion, worth every penny.
Good luck with your sale.

15 hours ago, Gannet said:So here is the proposed back end of the system:
RP-6000F towers
SVS SB-1000 Pro 12" sealed powered sub
Schiit Aegis 20 wpc power amplifier
Preamp undecided but possibly NAD C 165BEE or Rotel RC-1572.
Looks to be a nice plan you have there.
15 hours ago, Gannet said:To reduce startup costs I might run a Denon PMA-600NE for a while before upgrading to the separates.
Don't be surprised if this Denon handles the duties pretty well on it's own.
15 hours ago, Gannet said:1) Does this equipment seem a good match to my room and tastes?
Don't see why not.
15 hours ago, Gannet said:2) Does this equipment seem a good match to each other?
Really only way to know is to try.
15 hours ago, Gannet said:3) Is the 20wpc Schiit Aegis enough power to play the RP-6000F quite loud?
I think so, but a couple of factors to consider here. How far is your listening position? How loud is quite loud?
Let's assume the actual sensitivity of the RP-6000F's is 92dB instead of the spec'd 98dB and no boundary/corner gain in play.
20 watts at a 10ft listening position will measure about 95.3dB. Seems quite loud to me.
