  1. I havent looked at the farm house. the place I am looking at is a little bit bigger.

    it will need bigger speakers.

    what will we do....Devil

    Bose makes some nice products that may fill the venue.[;)]

    If anybody is interested in car-pooling the trip may be doable for me. I have a fuel efficient focus with a manual tranny if anybody is interested, i just know there is no way for me to drive the whole way.

    How long is this event anyways ?

  2. Thanks Bill - I'll do a little research on the Marantz, but they sound interesting. Jason, in terms of upgrades to the adcoms, can you describe what you mean? Does it alter the sound?

    Just like i mentioned, your amp can be upgraded with better parts for better sound.

    Yes it will alter the sound, and can be customized to suit your needs.

    Look local first if not there are many shops willing to customize your Adcom.

    Such as :

  3. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand a basic schematic anyways, if you do not have the know how to read a schematic and are just doing a basic capacitor update each part can be replaced individually to make things easy as pie.

  4. Do upgrade the xovers on the Chorus 2's for best results, they will not have the pinpoint soundstage of the LaScala but are a dam good sounding speaker without taking up the whole room.

    I would love to hear a pair or Chorus 2's fitted with a K55 or better midrange, i just love the lows they belt out, so tight and snappy with no sign of muddiness.

  5. Beauty is in the ear of the beholder.

    KLF series are decent, one of my starter sets years ago (among many others).

    Chorus II's are best power loving/size loudspeaker in my opinion, once you get those 15's pumping i can easilly make either of my CD players skip through parts of a song and the horns sing with the best of em.

    KG4's are my budget pick.

    Forte 1&2 are owned by good friends both powered by run of the mill receivers, good Klipsch sound i like to enjoy

    LaScala is what i find myself in front of most, get a decent subwoofer to fill in the lows or move up the Klipschladder.

    Pair up the Chorus 2's with the LaScala's and it makes a great sounding setup getting the best of both worlds but your soundstage dissappears and ruins it.

  6. The Classical music did not bother me since dad woke me up every weekend morning blaring the stuff from his Altec Valencia's.

    I brought 4 CD's with but there were many wanting to hear what they had with them, first came Buckwheat Zydeco's new one, When the levee breaks & The wrong side, track 4 is my favorite but many were waiting for the CD player. Second i threw on Alice in chains- Over now (unplugged version). Some of everything was played for all to enjoy, the afternoon and evening was very enjoyable.

    After seeing the size of the Jubilee's i can say you need a room built around the system, these are big honkers. WAF=0

    After hearing the Jubilee's of course makes me want some, that horn was the sweetest thing i ever heard, lows were solid and detailed, overall very pleasing and worth looking into for those with room and finances.

    Will that horn/driver combo work with the LaScala woofer section ?

  7. I would like to hear something better than CD quality sound available for downloading, not to say there is not already and i just dont know about it.

    Is it me or does anybody else prefer the sound of clean vinyl over CD's, maybe just my Sony ES just getting worn out.

    Music with good sound seems harder and harder to find like they forgot or just don't care anymore about quality.

    Still sticking with 8-track CD's until something else blows me away.

  8. Mine was purchased new after much shopping around, it was the best sound for the money that i could find.

    What attracted me was the attention to details throughout, there were lows like i never heard before and very life-like sound that attracted me.

    There were many other amps i liked better but were out or way out of my budget, some recordings do sound somewhat on the bright side but i feel the positives far outweigh the negatives.

    Be sure to listen before purchase to determine if this is the right sound for you and your choice of speakers.
