    Keep in mind this was a private transaction between them, not a garage sale one. Also, CBH was a member for about 4 months when these deals went down.

     

    I’m not saying that SD didn’t take the right precautions, what I am saying is that I appreciate his sharing the experience so others might avoid this.

     

    If it’s too good to be true it probably is.

     

    Knowledge doesn’t equal integrity

     

     

    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.  

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    Mcintosh cabinets out of Michigan. Check them out they made one for my 500c that is first class .

    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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. We haven't finalized location.  At this point we believe it will either be near Pontre Vedra or near Tampa.  My wife has family/friends near Jacksonville - therefore Pontre Vedra would be convenient to see them.  However, we have stayed near Tampa/Clearwater Beach several times and really liked the gulf coast.  My wife has 3 years until she retires, so we have some time to finalize our decision.

  11. Having difficult time with downloading photos - but the serial numbers of speakers are:

     

    13R760 and 13R761

     

    The original tags are intact on back of each speaker.  I'll add additional photos once I've figured out how to do so.  

     

  12. Very difficult decision to sell my Cornwalls.  I have been attempting to downsize my systems for the past 1 and 1/2 years as I expect my living space to become smaller once my wife retires and we relocate to Florida.  At this time, don't expect to replace these Cornwalls - in fact - will likely sell my Scott LK-48 integrated amp which I primarily used to drive my Cornwalls.  I have several McIntosh Solid State amps and a McIntosh tube preamp and McIntosh solid state preamp which I intend to keep long term.  I also have a pair of Quad ESL-2905 speakers which I intend to keep.  I'll likely keep an eye out for a smaller pair of speakers which I can use with one of the McIntosh front ends.

  13. Selling my Klipsch Cornwall speakers.  I'm second owner of this pair of Cornwalls. Speakers are in very good cosmetic condition, with only a very few minor marks on cabinets.  I'll add more photos later today of cabinets, drivers.  Speakers include original B-3 crossovers as well as upgraded ALK crossovers.  Also have the original K-77 drivers, as well as Crites CT-120 drivers.  Speakers have sequential serial numbers (I'll add serial numbers later today - I believe these were produced in 1979) as well as original cartons.  I purchased the risers from Crites, so they are not original.  Asking $1,350 for everything.  Speakers are located in Chapel Hill, NC and for local sale only.
