  1. Look, I'm gonna be that guy right now. Your prices are super fair on everything, but those solder terminal K55's are being given away.
  2. I used the amp off and on for a few years throughout my ownership. My main workhorse is a Mac MC2105 I've had for about 23 years now, I guess. When I subbed in the Nobis, I used it with a McIntosh MX113 and a pair of Klipschorns from the early '90s. Thank you for asking. Jeff
  3. Thank you, Maynard. Your disclaimer is a wise one, we don't need anyone getting a jolt ! This amp is still available. Lots of interest, but no cash in hand yet. I AM practicing social distancing and have no problem wearing my HEPA mask and gloves while meeting with someone. Heck, I think a nice drive to the driftless area of WI would be good for the soul right now... Jeff
  4. Lol, I just really appreciate Marvel shedding some light on this. The deal just got a little better I guess! I'm hoping someone can find some enjoyment from this unit during these crazy times. Jeff Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  5. I believe Marvel did a nice job explaining what's going on...the indicator LED lamps are missing, but the bias adjustments can be made from under the amp. Jeff
  6. Thank you for taking time to explain, Marvel. I sincerely appreciate your time, I understand exactly what you're saying. So the bias CAN be adjusted, just the LED's are missing. Have a terrific evening. Jeff
  7. Hi Joe, thanks for reaching out. I don't want to ship this amp again...I thought I'd price it at a level that would make it worth someone's time in the WI, IL, IA, MN, IN to come get it. With that said, I wonder if we could possibly use the buddy system on this? I don't keep track of when members are meeting up and things like that, but assuming COVID restrictions ease a bit in the next month or so, maybe we could somehow get the amp to you in Carolina? Jeff
  8. Hey guys, some of you may remember this ad from about a year ago. I listed this amp on eBay and it sold to a gentleman in Texas. After it arrived, the buyer complained of a hum and said the main power supply capacitor was bad. We agreed on a price to replace the capacitor with one of his choice and he did so. The buyer reported back with a million tests he ran on the amp and said everything else was good and the tubes tested strong. Then, he said the bias adjustments were not present. I'll be totally honest, I don't even know what that does, except that I think the adjustment helps dial the tubes in. I had no idea these were missing (although after the fact, and once I knew what I was looking at, the photos clearly showed there were no bias adjustments present). I used the amp for years without adjusting the bias, apparently. This is why I stick to solid state equipment. At any rate, this transaction didn't end well and I ended up with the amp back at my house. The photos show the old capacitor in place. If a buyer is serious, I can email you updated photos showing the new capacitor installed. I'm not interested in shipping this amp, but if someone within driving distance of Cross Plains, WI wants a fun project during quarantine, please let me know. Below is some information from a Stereophile review from years ago. This amp is an EL34 based amp, like the Marantz 8 and Dynaco Stereo 70. The glowing Stereophile review below sums up what a beautiful sounding amp this is. I've owned this wonderful piece for about 15 years and purchased it from a former employee of Nobis, which was located here in Wisconsin. https://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/992nobis/index.html
  9. Lol, I have two old F150's. We can race and put one in each truck!
  10. Ok, someone please purchase these so I don't have to drive to AZ from WI. This is A LOT of speaker for the money, thanks for listing here first. Jeff
  11. These are all sold. Thank you, forum members. Jeff
  12. Hi Roger, I'll send you a PM. My apologies, this is $289 for a pair. Thank you for your interest. Jeff
  13. Bump on these. For those not familiar with why I'm asking $100 more than normal K55V's, check out this Dope From Hope article from PWK: http://assets.klipsch.com/files/Dope_800430_v19n1.pdf?_ga=2.103696841.876860094.1581955272-1339087747.1565577841 Many of the differences in driver variations are perceived, but not always measurable. Here is a case with the dual phase plug K55 where the difference is perceived AND measurable. Yeah, they're that nice on the ears...
  14. No affiliation. This is a really nice deal for someone looking for small footprint, big sound, Klipsch speakers. For those not familiar, the KLF lineup was plagued with some cabinet vibration issues that didn't seem to arise until after these speakers were several years old. It sounds like a previous owner took the time to make sure every correction was made before re-securing the back panel. I imagine it probably took a long day, or two partial days to get this work done. Based just on the labor alone, this is a great price. Throw in the phenomenal cabinet condition, and this is a no-brainer. Someone snag these! Gosh, does my love for the KLF 20 and 30 come through loud enough, lol! Jeff
  15. Thank you, Wuzzer, I appreciate the kind words. Two pair are left!
  16. I have 2 pair of K55V solder terminal drivers available for sale. All are matched pairs, tested with speakers, as well as DCR tested. $289 shipped. Payment via friends and family paypal only. Photos available for sincerely interested parties. Please message me if interested. Thank you. Jeff
  17. Your post has been out for 1 day, I'm sure someone else will have something to offer. Yeah, I miss $800 Klipschorns and $100 Heresys, too. Take a look around, $255 for a pair of woofers and networks shipped to MONTANA isn't close to eBay pricing. Jeff
  18. There's sure a lot of nice gear in that collection. It'd be some work to go through each piece properly, but worth it for someone who has the time.
  19. I have a nice L52 with panlocs I would sell. It's the same size as an L12, but with with round feet, not wedge feet. $270 plus shipping from 53528. Jeff
  20. Jim, Flanner's in the Milwaukee area used to offer this service, but I'm not sure if they still do. There was an "upgrade" kit you could purchase from Klipsch to bring your Heritage speaker networks and wiring up to par with what was currently being sold. When I used to work at American TV in the late 1990's, they too, sold the upgrade kits, but didn't do the installation. I hope this helps a bit. Jeff
