Interesting thought you have there, I never really thought about what 'other' people think of my system.
Built it for me, and always improving.
When one of my bud's comes into the Cave, I simply ask them what their favorite tune is, once cranked they are indeed spoiled.
Hey Neighbor, welcome aboard, glad you are here!

Try it and let us know. I don't see how it could hurt either, just don't force anything and you should be okay.
You can probably remove them also.

Could one speaker be out of phase? (wired backwards + to - instead of + to + and - to -) Canceling out the bass.

What year are your Khorns? 6 ohms DCR indicates an 8 ohm woofer. The DCR of a Khorn woofer should be 3.2 ohms, unless a change has been made on the newer models. I am unaware of any such change.
Yes, what year are they? You may need to update the crossovers!
Old Caps = low bass!

You are welcome Bruce. The recording quality is phenomenal.

I order a LOT online. Two day shipping means I'll have it in two days from today, if ordered by C.O.B.
Monday.... Wednesday!
Amazon has spoiled me badly.
Most places that say "two day" mean two days after they ship your order, which can mean two weeks from now. Dennie

Hey Joe, trust me on this one. If you like "Timbuktu" you'll like "A Meeting By The River"....
I have the SACD, it's a bit pricy, but worth every cent. The CD is very good also.

I have a friend with one of these units, it is a BEAST of a receiver!
Good luck with your sale.

Congratulations!
Always great to hear about a system coming together like that.

One of my favorites is Fitzgerald/Amstrong together on
the standard "Autumn in New York".
My god Ellas voice sends shivers up my spine.
A great stop in New York is the Louis Armstrong
Museum. Check out his stereo.
Good Call RickFL....and "Cheek to Cheek" just sends shivers down my spine. Just Beautiful!

Ella and Louis...and Oscar Peterson...I bet that album is awesome.
I have a Ella Fitzgerald "Mac the Knife" live in Berlin LP, and she does "How High the Moon" with some serious be-bop...it's great...
It is fantastic. Look at the whole lineup....
- Louis Armstrong - vocals, trumpet
- Ella Fitzgerald - vocals
- Ray Brown - bass
- Herb Ellis - guitar
- Oscar Peterson - piano
- Buddy Rich - drums
I highly recommend it!
Then.... There is this one....

It's hard to pick just one Louis Armstrong set.
This is a good one.....
The Essential Louis Armstrong -- 2 CD Set
Louis Armstrong
2004 Columbia Legacy
Pops-- The king of jazz trumpet, March 1, 2007
By Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Essential Louis Armstrong (Audio CD)
THE ESSENTIAL LOUIS ARMSTRONG is a sweeping overview of THE most influential jazz musician of the 20th Century. Disc one contains Armstrong's New Orleans-styled electrical recordings of the late '20's (note that he had made some acoustic horn stuff prior), while the second CD continues the early sides until midway through, and then offers brief glimpses of Satchmo's career from 1938 to '67.
To mention a single outstanding example, Armstrong's early beautiful tone is clearly evident on his trumpet intro to 1928's "West End Blues," as is his fine scat voice. Beyond that track, all of disc one is certain to be a revelation to those only familiar with Louis' "Hello Dolly" pop-type tunes.
Mastering of the antique 78s in particular is remarkable-- they all sound great! THE ESSENTIAL LOUIS ARMSTRONG is a set that belongs in everyone's collection, not just jazz afficionados. Buy with confidence!

Louis Armstrong
2000 Columbia Legacy

For much of his life, Louis Armstrong was the embodiment of jazz for millions of people, both a great creative artist and a beloved popular entertainer. Whether playing trumpet or singing, adding his own definitive touch to a ballad or spearheading a hot New Orleans-style band, Armstrong was a uniquely compelling figure. It's hard to compress such a career into a single CD, but this one includes many of the milestones, reaching back to 1923 for "Chime Blues" with Armstrong playing in the band of his mentor, King Oliver. At the opposite end of Armstrong's life is 1967's "What a Wonderful World," which only became famous decades after it was recorded. In between are the creative peaks, including a good sampling of Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven bands from the late 1920s--the most influential of his recordings--and a superb small-group version of "Old Rockin' Chair" from 1947. Armstrong's 1931 version of Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" retains its special luster seven decades later, and there's also a good selection of trademark hits from his later career, like "Mack the Knife" and "Hello, Dolly!" --Stuart Broomer

Ella & Louis --
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
1956/ 1989 Verve Records
Ella and Louis, February 9, 2011
By Nikica Gilic - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ella & Louis (Audio CD)
Now this one is a no-brainer:
EVERYBODY knows by now how great idea was teaming Ella (at her peak) and Louis (close enough to his peak) on this album,
with a killer back-up group lead by Oscar Peterson at his rhythmiest (yes, I know it's not a real word). I'm writing about the original CD from the early 2000s I bought, not about SACD (where the review will apparently, also end up), so I can't talk about the technological finesse of this edition... I'm just claiming this is a beautiful jazz album, happily matched only by Ella and Louis Again, another masterpiece. Groveling expressiveness of Louis' voice is matched beautifully with the melodic brilliance of Ella's jubilant voice and the rest is history.
Side One:
"Can't We Be Friends?" (Paul James, Kay Swift) – 3:45
"Isn't This a Lovely Day?" (Irving Berlin) – 6:14
"Moonlight in Vermont" (John Blackburn, Karl Suessdorf) – 3:40
"They Can't Take That Away from Me" (George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin) – 4:36
"Under a Blanket of Blue" (Jerry Livingston, Al J. Neiburg, Marty Symes) – 4:16
"Tenderly" (Walter Gross, Jack Lawrence) - 5:05
Side Two:
"A Foggy Day" (G. Gershwin, I. Gershwin) – 4:31
"Stars Fell on Alabama" (Mitchell Parish, Frank Perkins) – 3:32
"Cheek to Cheek" (Berlin) – 5:52
"The Nearness of You" (Hoagy Carmichael, Ned Washington) – 5:40
"April in Paris" (Vernon Duke, Yip Harburg) – 6:39
I was fortunate to find an original "Mono" copy.....
I hope this helps,
Dennie
all great! Love the Ken Burns Jazz series a must for any Louis A fan. That is one nice Ella & Louis, great record!
Thanks Lemon String, it sounds fantastic. I've done side by side comparisons with the 2000 (I think) CD and even know I enjoy the CD for the convenience factor, it lacks the Warmth, Body, Depth, Dynamics of the Lp.
I recommend the series "Ken Burns Jazz" for anyone who is into or looking to get into Jazz. Lots of great information and it really helped me "put it all together".
If anyone is an Amazon Prime member, you can watch it for free! ..........

Dennie, once again you make excellent selections! I think I got some of these because of you! I would add Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington - "The Great Summit." "The Making of the Great Summit" is fun too!
Some of the older recordings on the Ken Burns JAZZ CD sound pretty old but it is a nice collection. The "Definitive Collection" is OK but my favorites (and decent sound) so far are "Ella and Louis" and the "Great Summit"
Yes Sir, "The Great Summit" is a fantastic recording and a favorite of mine also!
I didn't list it because Sancho was asking for "Satchmo" music and I didn't want it to get confusing. "Summit" is fantastic "Ellington" music and should not be missed. But for a place to start, I choose the other disc's for a beginner. When he asks for more, "we'll" make sure "Summit" is on that list!

Why don't you list what gear you want to use and the configuration you want to use it in.
Sorry, I'm a little confused.

Does you AVR have Pre-outs?
If it does, you can use a Stereo amp for the main speakers and let the AVR handle the rest.
