    Congrats. I have the CF3s V1 too!

    I have the CF 3s v1 for quite some time and maybe 10 years ago I sent the crossovers to Bob Crites for a rebuild. It’s been a while but I do remember that is was an improvement in sound. I believe he told me at the time that there appeared to be some capacitor leakage. Any ways, maybe something worth looking into

    I think I like the Cambridge better

    I have the cf3s version 1 and had the crossovers upgraded by Bob Crite a few years back and couldn’t be happier with the results.

    Thanks for the link, I didn’t see it until now. I thought I signed up for auto emails when the thread updated.... guess not.

    I definitely thought the tweeters were less harsh after the dampening, less rattle from the speaker boxes because they were stiffer. After the Crites refresh of the crossovers, the speakers seemed to have more clarity. The improvements weren't drastic but noticeable for sure. For me the harshness in the tweeters was most irritating.

    Those are a sweet pair of speakers. I have them also in oak and did the bracing, dynamite on the horns and had Crites update the crossovers.

    I have the CF -3's version1's with several mods based on some great feedback from this thread - bracing, dynamat on the tweeters, and had the crossovers updated by Bob Crites. I also ended up refinishing them. I recently upgraded to a marantz AV 8802a and power these bi-amped with Parasound 2225's v2 and boy do they sound awesome. Wish I had an opportunity to grab the cf-4's but I am completely happy with the sound.

    I had a 9090DB and had it fully restored, I only have high praises for it. I had to downsize and free up some space and it was time to let it go. I was maintaining two seperate systems and the amount of equipment and speakers I had was a bit much, I still regret getting rid of it........ definitely a fine piece of vintage audio.

    I ended up pulling the trigger on a pair of Parasound 2125's V2. Looked at the Halo but had to keep it to a certain budget. Thank you everyone.
  18. jarrod2750
    I appreciate the feedback and input everyone .

    Looks like I narrowed my options down to either the Parasound 2125 or the Emotiva XPA -2. I'm leaning towards the Parasound.

    The OP is clearly on a budget, not spending serious money, and is not a delusional audiophile, so what's your point aside from insulting the entire forum? Thanks for the post. I was kind of confused by what I was reading. By no means am I delusional audiophile. Just an A/V enthusiast of 20+ years, who is looking to make an upgrade and wants to reach out to the community so I can make the most informed decision possible based on member's past and present experiences.....

    One stereo amp per side, bi-amping the cabinet (lows/highs). I am assuming, of course, but that's how I read it. I've also always liked the Parasound gear. Bruce Yep that's exactly my set up. Sounds like I need to with better quality even if it means lower power since the epic's are 100db efficient.
  22. jarrod2750
    sorry for the confusion. I'm running one amp per speaker and the speakers are bi-amped. I hope that makes sense.
  23. jarrod2750
    $700 - $1k per amp
  24. jarrod2750
    Investing in tubes, is out of my price range unfortunately....
  25. jarrod2750
    Between the two I've alreday invested $400 dollars in repairs. And one now needs its powerboard fixed which will be an easy $200 more. These beasts are close to 30 years old so it's like dumping money into a car. The reason I was looking into the Emotiva's was because of the price to value ratio and wanting to get something at least as good as the Pioneers. I'm not looking to break the bank but I was always impressed with Parasound. I'm keeping my options open, and willing to hear what my fellow Klipsch community would suggest.
