I understand the circumstances of this situation clearly. I have been following this thread - as well as several others by CBH over the past year.

While I haven’t posted a lot through the years, the Klipsch Forum is one of my favorite audio forums, which I have used to learn much regarding Klipsch speakers and vintage tube amplifiers. Through the years, I have bought several items from members - always with an extremely positive outcome. It is very disappointing to see respected forum members be cheated as they have in this situation. I’m a big believer in Karma - in the end CBH will surely “pay a price” for the actions he has taken.

I use my Scott 222b integrated amp to drive my JBL-4430 speakers, as well as a pair of Quad ESl-63 speakers. Obviously, speakers which are quite different in their design and strengths/weaknesses. While I have several other amps, I always seem to leave the Scott in the rotation for one of my systems. I would suspect a 222b, in proper operating condition, would match very well with a pair of Belle’s.

Thanks to forum member jimjimbo - I will be receiving a Scott cabinet next week.

Thank you for suggestion. I had them make a cabinet for me in the past, which was very nice. However, I don’t believe they are producing cabinets any longer.

Got it - thank you for reaching out.

Thank you for confirming size.

Thank you for reply. My faceplate measures 15”x 4 3/8”.

I’m looking for a wood cabinet for my recently purchased Scott LT-110 tuner. Based on information I have found - this tuner is the Wide C chassis (same as the 222b integrated amp, etc…). Let me know if anyone has a cabinet available. Thank You.

My Scott 222b integrated amp and Melody AN-845 integrated amp.

I have the Melody AN845 integrated amplifier. I have owned it for approximately 1 1/2 years. While rated at only 22 watts/channel @ 8 ohms - it has driven speakers from Magnepan 3.7i, Von Schweickert VR4 jr, and JBL 4430 with ease. The build quality is very nice (weighs over 90 lbs). One of the best amplifiers I have owned.

I purchased this amp from James, who was kind enough to hold amp for me until I was able to secure funds to pay for it. I received amp yesterday and tubes today. I'm extremely pleased with cosmetic condition of amp and am listening to it now. I have it paired with a McIntosh C22 preamp (also purchased from Klipsch Forum) and a pair of Altec Valencia speakers. I believe this combination should sound quite nice. Can't say enough good things regarding buying from James - as my experience has been with every transaction on this forum - it has been extremely positive.

Just a post to update my RF-63 system. I've brought my McIntosh (MC-2105 amp and C-22 preamp) over to drive them. I hooked System up yesterday and initially ran into ground fault issue. After several hours of searching - I discovered an electronic air filter (plugged into a totally different outlet) was source of fault. Once I disconnected air filter - system played fine. I'm extremely happy with how the system sounds.

I have owned several Klipsch models over the past 6-7 years, all of which I enjoyed. Recently, I decided It was time to "downsize" my Cornwalls and replace them with a "slimmer" and "lighter" pair of speakers. Ideally, they would be replaced with another pair of Klipsch, but I knew from experience, the only model I felt would meet my requirements, (size and performance) would be a pair of RF-63 speakers. I had owned a pair of these, in Cherry, several years ago. I enjoyed them, but sold them to buy a pair of RF-7 Series II speakers several years back. As luck would have it, the day after I sold my Cornwalls, a mint pair of Cherry RF-63 speakers was listed on CL about 2 hours from my home. I made offer for them - which was accepted. I just brought them home today. Initially I have them hooked up to my Scott integrated amp. Will drive them with a McIntosh amp/preamp in future. Looking forward to getting reacquainted with these speakers again.
