    Keep an eye open for a 684.  You can get them cheap enough and all you need is another big QSC to make them sing.  It'll keep up with the 396's for the most part.  It's certainly not as clean as an 1802 but it's no where near the price.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I happen to have a second QSC PLX 2502 😁.

    ...would be really cost prohibitive to upgrade...

    I hear you, diminishing returns are alive and well. You're in a good place with all that gear.

    My source components could use an upgrade but I'm content for now. Our back room has meager KG 2.5s but that size room won't work with La Scalas. Once the nest is empty and our upright piano is gone then we could move some bigger Klipsch in there. Always fun to daydream about this stuff.

    Love those 396's.  I had mine on last weekend.

    The output was surprising with a full sound. I was expecting to not have the watts (not sure what they used last year) but 425 @8 ohms did well.

    I don't have a sub like they had last Spring. Still the bass was surprising and sounded better compared to inside.

    Nice, I believe those started with @rockhound in the beginning.  They are truly in their element when they have a huge room or outdoors.  I try to take my own advice and have actually gotten rid of some items but I'm sure I'm not done acquiring either.  Rock On and we will see you in September!

    Cool so I'm the third owner. I don't think there will be a fourth!

    Congrats on shedding some gear Pete. I gave my brother a pair of Chorus II's for a house warming gift this past November, his and his wife's first (house, not Klipsch). It was a good time. He listened to KLF-20s, RF-5s, and ended up choosing the Chorus II's.

    Looking forward to SWAG!

  5. Bump!

     

    Set these up today and thought of SWAG. This is the first time hearing them in an outside setting since the '19 Pilgrimage. I don't do outside listening much but now it may happen more often. VERY sweet! Fiio X5 digital music player to a QSC PLX 2502, flat with no EQ. Our back yard connects to city owned land, with a couple walking trails. I figured people would enjoy some music while taking their nth walk during this Stay At Home thing. Music was at a good volume but went easy on the genres. Nothing too 🤘

     

    Pete gave me some great take-stock-in-what-you-have advice about six months ago. I picked these up shortly after from JWC using UShip. Sorry Pete.....I took to heart every word you wrote..and couldn't help myself! These are great speakers.

     

    Stay positive everyone.

    Good luck with your sale Dave. I purchased one of the many sets that went in St Louis a couple years ago. Paypal'd right away, a year passed and I still didn't get down there to pick them up. By then they were all gone! He refunded my purchase but man I wish I had driven down there sooner, grabbed a pair, and see what all the talk is about.

    I think some time after the XPA's came out, Emotiva offered the black trim for purchase.

    Yes.

    If not listed on their website under accessories, call them. 

     

    Sorry for the slight thread hack. Good luck with your sale.
