I got an Akia GX F-71 3 head deck from Crutchfield and it still kicks butt.
I had the GX-51 & loved that machine, great sound and mechanics.

Sounds like a great decision Malcolm. I am running original1987 Forte with the Crites upgrades in my apartment and am very happy with them. When you get yours, post some pictures, we here on the forum love pictures.

Hey, now you have room to buy a new Yamaha receiver! The new RX-A Aventage Series receivers are miles ahead of the old gear. They sound much better, and don't cost all that much more.
Get thee behind me Satan!

Malcolm, try to find a shop to audition some Klipsch Heritage speakers to see if the horn loaded sound agrees with you. I think the nearest authorized dealer is in Jersey. Two things to remember, McIntosh & Klipsch are a natural pairing and when it comes to Klipsch speakers, go big or go home. A notion most members here would agree with.

Welcome to the Klipsch forum. I have had Klipsch speakers in various apartments in Manhattan for years, with no complaints form my neighbors. One thing to remember is that Klipsch are incredibly efficient and as such, given your room, the vast majority of your listening will be done under 1/2 a watt. I have had Chorus II, Cornwall II & Forte in apartments and have been happy with all of them, although they were overkill.

You have to admit those are in excellent shape, a good deal for someone.

I have been strictly solid state all along. As I get older I am looking to simplify my systems, not make them more compicated. I will strip them down to Integrated amps, CDP's and speakers. I do not see tube rolling in my future. If anything it will be farewell to tape decks, EQ's, Tuners, and Turntables. The "KISS" theory, keep it simple, stupid.

I am sure someone will be along shortly to help with posting your pictures for you, that won't be me as I am fairly inept with computers. Pictures will surely help your sale as will an asking price. GLWTS.

2018 was a big step for me, I actually SOLD some equipment, a Yamaha CR-820 receiver and a pair of Klipsch WB-14 speakers. I had always loved that Yamaha CR series, thinking it was among the best looking of the monster receiver era. The WB-14 were just real sharp bookshelf speakers that over delivered, (as usual with Klipsch.) Well 2 months later I haven't bought anything else and I am fine parting with the gear.....
Really, I am OK with it..............

I know this is an old thread but how about both..... the Heresy on top of the Cornwall ????
That's how mine are stacked, Heresy II on top of Cornwall II, talk about overkill.

I had 8 of my wife's relatives over for Christmas dinner and a slightly different cast of 11 coming over on Saturday. I have done my pennance for the season.

Her dance scene with Steve Martin was tremendous. She was taken too soon.

While this thread is typically veering towards the unseemly, it would be worth grabbing these just to meet Tarheel. I have two pair of EPI's and always thought they had a nice sound to them. GLW your non-sale.

More than a few folks here on the Klipsch forum are members over on AK as well. Yes, you need to be a Subscriber to AK to access their Bartertown pages. Supercool is the man who posted them for sale there first. I told him that I had posted the link here and he has subsequently joined us here on the Klipsch site.

A sound philosophy, perhaps one day your kids will appreciate the equipment you hand down to them. The receiver I sold was a Yamaha CR-820, a good looking classic receiver, just criminally underused. It happened to be the exact one my buddy's father had when he was growing up. It was in great shape & I spent some time cleaning her up so looked real good for when his father swung by. I was told the old man was spinning some vinyl in his son's apartment. I was glad I could do my part. As an added bonus, the sale yielded the exact amount of money I give to the doormen at my apartment building for Christmas tips. Easy come, easy go.

Cassettes?
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
I had close to 1,000 cassettes at my peak and even after giving away armloads of them I still have several hundred. I was a dedicated Maxell fan, XL II S, TDK SA in a pinch. I am lucky enough to own a Nakamichi Dragon and even though it needs a service call it still sounds great. I own a large collection of bootlegs and radio broadcasts on cassette and have converted a couple of them to cd. My goal is to burn the higher quality ones to cd and then chuck the garbage. Since my car still has a deck in it, I still routinely listen to cassettes, and they still sound good.
