  1. I started with Monster Z1 a few years back.. i've since moved on to mostly Cobalt cables now.. for both interconnects and speaker cables. I too prefer speaker cables over speaker wire. I like the build of cables.. you'll spend more, but they look so much nicer than having wire run all over the place. []
  2. Hey Dave, I have the Outlaw Audio 990 pre amp.. and they just dropped the price to $999, that's alot of pre amp for a grand. pair that with your favorite brand of 5 or 7 channel amp. and you've got yourself a great system for many years to come. I can certainly understand though having a budget and needing to stick to it. I also like Marantz receivers... they may be a big more $ than the HK or Denon, but well worth it too. I went from a Marantz receiver as a pre amp, and was using Marantz mono block amps with it.. so for me to replace the amp, with the Outlaw 990 pre amp just made perfect sense for me about a year ago. I have been very happy I upgraded to a pre amp.
  3. thanks for the warm welcome everyone. You all have given me several good options for a nice pair of stereo speakers. My Polk SDA's. were being run using solid state gear... they were bass shy too. I did not run them with a subwoofer. They were capable of digging extremely low, and would shake the floor, but it was rare that the source music ever had that much bass in it.. so most times, they were lacking bass. I was not in anyway displeased with them.. it's just time to try something else. I'd really like to find someone here in the Pacific Northwest that had a pair or more of the older Klipsch speakers. that would allow me to demo them in a real world set up. I believe cables do play a part in sound quality. but within reason. I set my limit on cables to around $100 each.. or course, not all my cables are at that $100 limit.. I have used a couple different brands for half that price and have been very pleased with their sound, although in that price range, build quality was kind of lacking. Any current model Klipsch floorstander that has a following? Here still within that $800 price range, if that's possible.
  4. Hi, I just joined this Klipsch forum today. I may be new in here, but i'm in no way new to speakers and stereo audio, or home theater by anymeans. I live in the Pacific Northwest... and i have two 2 ch systems and a home theater system. At this time I do not own any Klipsch speakers. Last week I sold my Polk Audio SDA SRS's to a local guy. that has left me without a good decent sounding pair of speakers for my main 2 ch rig. So that's why i'm here. I would like some suggestions on a pair of Klipsch speakers for a 2 channel only rig. I am open to used, vintage, or new speakers. My budget is set for $800 tops. The Polks that I just sold were huge.. over 5 ft tall and weighing in at 185 pounds each. This time around, i'd like something smaller, but that would still give me some good wide soundstage. With good balanced bass.. I am not a basshead, so I don't like boomy bass or like lots of it either actually. My friend has the Chorus 2's and I do like them alot. that is about the size of the speaker's i'd be interested in.. nothing larger than that. While I could buy a pair of the Chorus 2's, I am really open to suggestions. I listen to alot of classic rock, 80's, everything from Sinatra, to INXS, Nirvana, Maroon5, Modest Mouse, Linkin Park, Johnny Mathis, etc. Thanks for any suggestions on a pair of floorstanding Klipsch speakers...as I am just beginning to look for a pair that I plan to keep for a long time. Also, what is the availabilty of parts for Klipsch speakers that are over 20 yrs old? Crossover's, drivers, grills? What type of surround material does Klipsch use?
