Thanks for the pics John and Jmon, nice to see.

Jefnel1, I also have a Toshiba HDTV (50HX70) but have chosen to go with a liner doubler(DVDO iscan V2) instead of the $$$$$ Pro Scan DVD's(good 1's). I am using a Marantz DV3100 and was thinking of the Marantz 7100 but way to pricey. Besides, a line doubler not only improves the picture of DVD(comparable to Pro Scan)but also improves your cable\sat, vcr tape, etc signals and costs considerably less ($600-700 US). have a look at http://www.dvdo.com Khorns(93) LaScalas(01 sometime soon I hope) C7 (Hersey's to replace in 02 for 6.1) Adcom AC-515 Enhancer Marantz SR18EX A/V Receiver Marantz DV3100 DVD player Marantz MV5100 S-VHS hifi Marantz CD6050 dual tape Marantz DR4160 3 disk carousel with single tray CDR Toshiba 50HX70 HDTV DVDO iscan V2 line doubler Monster Reference Z2 cables biwired(Khorns and C7) Monster MC 20/20 original cable Monster audio/video cables all around.

No wonder I was told to wait until "July" for my La Scalas and ordered them in March...UGH...I thought the dog team might have made a left instead of right at the ole Igloo Inn. As for the sub good enough for the Khorns\Belle\Scala I would recommend http://www.bagend.com or http://www.sunfire.com (recommended from other members who are horn owners). Have a look at there 18" subs(bagend), impressive, the D18E-I, Infra18, or S18E-I. You may need a forklift for the D18E-I though.

It comes down to you as the primary listener on what you like. I actually used Original Monster MC20/20 to power a pair of Khorns(93)but have switched to the Monster Reference series Z2 biwired and also for my C7 centre (Hersey's when the cash flows again, dry spring). My La Scalas are going to run off that original MC20/20 cable from 93(also a pair of KG.1's at 1 time) and it doesn't seem much different, only when I go 2 channel on the Khorns...OH BABY!! It was a toss up between Audioquest and Monster, and as having used Monsters product for almost 10 years now, why change, great stuff. Why spend 2000-10K on wire??? If I had 30+K speakers maybe.

Double post as well, excuse. This message has been edited by boomer9911 on 05-10-2001 at 11:30 PM

any chance on getting to see these pics? Are they posted somewhere? I would love to go myself, but a long way to go from the Great White North, hard enough trying to order speakers up here. Thanks.

It's more than plenty for your setup. I was going to use the DS787 to power a set of Khorns(f) and LaScala's® and Hersey(c, rc). I switched to the Integra DTR-7.1, gave that up for the Marantz SR-18EX Receiver (now theres a machine).

My thanks to everyone who helped me out on my system and the comments they gave me. I have decided to ditch the Legend Series idea and keep my Khorns(93), and also, I'm the proud father of triplets! I recently had a deal on a set of Raw Birch La Scala's(00) and C7(00). After some more pricing around I got a better deal with a finished pair of La Scala's(01)and C7(01)& black grills(not till June mind you, special order up here). A perfect match to my Khorns. A Hersey is in the future for rear surround. As well, I have cancelled the Adcom pre-amp, amp combo idea after reading in the BB groups how quite a few people run their Klipsch setups through good Receivers. I was going to get the Integra DTR-7.1 but for the few extra bucks loved the Marantz SR-18EX, what a machine! So my power plants will be 2 Marantz MA700's Amplifiers for the Khorns and La Scala's. with the C7 and "future" Hersey all hooked up to a Marantz SR-18EX. My cd will be the Marantz CC-4000 OSE 5 disk carousel(sold my Adcom GCD-700), with the Marantz DV-4000 DVD Player. I am still going to run my Pioneer CT-W630 cassette and Pioneer GR-777 Graphic Equalizer as well(not a bad set up for it's age). When I can sell them I'll get the Marantz DR-6050 Dual Tray CD Recorder, Addios Tapeos....even though it was fun playing with the equalizer when recording. My video\tv setup will be a JVC D-series 32" (no pip)and JVC hifi HR-783U vcr(matching JVC RH-32D tv stand). No big screen for a few more years. and now I'm about to go join the poor line up on the right...*UGH** A nice dream till June when it's all together and I'm behind bars. I now have good reason to cut down on social activities such as strip bars and beer for a few months, and my Edmonton Oilers may not make the playoffs so there's more cost savings. thanks again folks. *cheers*

Well I just read the nightmare posts about the Legend Series and am totally confused as I was going to purchase this complete system. I'm rebuilding my system(now 2nd thoughts) with an Adcom GTP-750 preamp\tuner and GFA-7500 multi channel amplifier. I "was" looking at getting the Legend series system but now don't think so. So I'm a tad bit confused about what I should do now. What I have and had was: Adcom GFA-585 Limited Edition powering a set of 93 K-horns (sold the amp, I know..STUPID!), a Adcom GFA-545II(sold the amp) powering the Klipsch KG1 Satelitte Speakers (93)with matching 12" sub (system package by Klipsch). My exwife got my HerseyII's (rear) in the settlement, the.......lovely woman! I have no centre speaker(yet), was going to get the C7, and am using a Pioneer VSX-9900S Receiver to bridge(kissing this baby goodbye) Now before I screw myself and part with my horns I need some help and opinions, and would appreciate any assistance offered! I was going to sell them and get the legend series (KLF30's,C7,RS-3 or SS-1)complete with ksw-12 sub! I was told by my local Dealer that Klipsch doesn't make the KSP-S6 anymore for surround so it was going to be either the RS3 or the SS1. So now I'm looking at: Adcom GTP-750 and GFA-7500(just wish I hadn't parted with my GFA-585LE), with my K-horns for front(I hope the 7500 will be ok for the horns, any thoughts there?), KG1's rear(UGH) and no centre or proper sub. I must admit the horns are hard on apartment living and movin. My plan was to part with them (as my amps) and go with a good home theatre set up without "mass power".I believe the Adcom side of the house is ok, as I also have the GCD-700 and AC-515 Enhancer, but am lost what to do about speakers? I know alot of people would say I'm nuts for parting with my horns and after what I read I may not!! So my questions: Is anything they make now a days any good (besides the heritage series)? I may be from Canada but owning Adcom and Klipsch, I've been very happy and want to stay with "North American" made, in a decent $$$ range of course. Are the synergy or reference systems any good? Are their ksw subs any good? If I decide to part with my horns what would be a good setup to run with my Adcom? I love Klipsch and want to stay with them. I keep my Horns, do you think the Adcom7500 is "sufficient" for them(don't listen to the Stones that loud anymore)and what speakers would I get for Surround and Centre? Sorry about the length of my inquiry but after reading what I did about the Legends and selling my amps (still kicking myself)I want to do whats right and not screw myself in the process as I already am! Thanks for reading my plight and appreciate any help! TJ.
