Thanks for the reply, Colin. The four are going into the same room. No plans on a sub-woofer. Right now my equipment is all low-end Yamaha. The four-channel AMP/Pre-Amp (AV-34) overheats and cuts-out after a few minutes and I'm looking for a short term replacment. After I get this system up again, I'm going to start scouting for the long-term solutions to my dream system. Tim

I realize that any recommendation is purely subjective, but... I recently had the good fortune to inherit two sets of Klipsch speakers, a pair of Walnut Cornwalls and a pair of Birch Heresy IIs. What Im looking for is an opinionated response as to what would be a good Integrated Amp/Preamp to drive them with. Most of my music collection is in the form of rock and jazz CDs from the 70s, and 80s. Suggestions for an affordable used Amp in the $200 to $400 range that would complement this set until I can afford something better would be most gratefully appreciated.

I just returned from a 300-mile trip to pickup a used pair of 1986 Heresy II's (H-II BR) in natural Birch. I didn't want to have them shipped, so I flew there, rented a car and drove them back. They are in near perfect condition and sound excellent. No finish was ever applied to them. My question is I'm new to all this and need some advise as to my options on protecting the wood. Although I don't plan on it now, I may someday want to sell these and upgrade to a set of La Scala's or Klipsch Belle's and I don't want to do anything to devalue them. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking at buying a used pair of Heresy II's. I read elsewhere on this board that there are fakes out there and I'm wondering, how can I tell the good from the bad? Can I call someone at Klipsch with the serial numbers and see if they match the records? Tim
