  1. Selling this for a friend. Fortes are sold.* Marantz ma700 mono blocks WERE mine which i sold to him and now he is also looking to get rid of for same reason above. He used them on the fortes and they sounded great. Also in great condition. You can call or text my friend Eddy for more info. 786-201-0871. Located in Miami. 400$ for amps. Its probably best if you call or text me 305-335-4796 Alex
  2. Very nice. The mahogany sure is nice Thats a great deal for someone. Alex
  3. Very nice. My NOSvalve sounded amazing!! GLWS
  4. I purchase this for a jubscala project however i am going a different direction and i will not be using it. I am selling it exactly what i got it for, actually taking a hit. 2-in/6-out audio DSP lets you adjust EQ and crossover points, dynamics and delays from the front panel or from PC software that lets you see how you’re shaping your sound. Front face plate looks excellent, does have some scratches on top and bottom from being amp racked. Fully functional and works just like it should. 575$ shipped klipsch forum members. http://www.electrovoice.com/product.php?id=530
  5. Nice. Someone looking for this exact trio might just be in a lot of luck. Price not to bad either... Alex
  6. I had a 500C rebuilt by Craig. Amazing sounding tube receiver. GLWS
  7. Nice speaker you got there. Did i miss the location? GLWS
  8. Very refreshing to see all this talk on the cf4's. They are amazing speakers and some really don't know there greatness or potential. Crites only changed the caps in the crossover. Did not change any values or anything like that. I do remember Moray saying the 1506 is a direct drop in for the stock driver and no values need to be changed or anything in the crossover. *That i remember. I think mine sound amazing. That large "magnitude" sound Dave said is a great way to explain the sound. Really sux i did all my mods at once but i really had no other choice. Even doing them like this took me over a month. I though it was tedious work, especially the bracing. Well braced box has its documented advantages and i think they are true. I did the bracing, the felt, and added dynamat to the woofers struts-all things that could effect the bass. The bass did NOT get louder or hit lower. Bass seemed cleaner, more detailed, and tighter. I like heavy bass music so this was more apparent to me. Big thing to look at is benefit to $ return ratio on these mods. I spent about 700$ in mods and countless hours of work. If for 700$ you can have speakers that sound better, from the bass to the highs, and music will be just that much more satisfying for decades to come it is a no brainer. I am not going to say these mods completely changed these speakers and made them sound MUCH better, but i would say bass and tweets sound 30% better. Pretty large improvement. This is all highly subjective and IMO. You don't have to do all the mods at once. I think the 1506 is a solid, easy, and not to expensive mod. You can sell of the stock driver to make a little $ back, i did. This I think should be your first mod. Just as important should be to biamp these babies. If your using a receiver you can do what i did and have the receivers amp power the tweets and get your self a proamp with gains knobs in the front so you can level match the tweets to the woofers (use receivers preout to feed signal to proamp,) you can do this by ear. SS amp for the woofers can be anywhere from 200 watts rms and up. Local CL would be a good start. Other way to go would be a preamp and two amps one for the Woofers and one for the tweets. You can try tube on the tweets if you decide this route Another thing, you MUST lift the speakers. I lifted mine two feet and i liked it. I personally like the WTW arrangement. In TWW arrangement you hear the music more separated with he highs coming from up top and the lows from the bottom. Most speakers are like this so people hear it and think it is normal. The cf4 WTW obviously the tweeter is in the middle and if you bring the tweets to ear level woofer firing just above and below your ear they imagine is a bit different, much nicer i think. I think this is a good reason why i love these speakers so much. This is my review of cf4 and khorn. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/156526-cf4s-vs-khorns-review/?hl=%2Bcf4+%2Bkhorn Hope i helped and goodluck!! Alex
  9. 1) Send crossover to Bob Crites 2) See thread bellow 3) See thread below 4) See thread below. 5) I tried the 5" port and i did not notice a huge difference so i just left them as 2.5. But yes, you can switch them to 5" deep and see what you like. Does that tube amp have a preout? If it does, biamp, with tube amp for the tweeters, preouts to give signal to the SS amp for the woofers. Make sure you remove the speaker cable that links the tweeter and woofer input on back of crossover. I would go with a SS amp with a gain knob in the front. I went with a crest ca6 and works very well. There are many similar pro amp you can probably find on your local CL. YGPM and lmk if you got more questions. Also, try a search to find more info. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/151115-epic-cf4-mods-amp-rack-build/?hl=%2Bamp+%2Brack Alex
