Another Nice pair of Klipschorns: Illinois/Wisconsin Border
OO1 replied to Freespirit's topic in Alerts!
This is an excellent comment. However, Klipsch is one of the few brands where their speakers can appreciate/hold their value over time. So for pure satisfaction - icing on the cake, sort-of-speak, it is nice to see them being offered for that amount and know that the pair you own are gaining in value, in addition to the pleasure of listening to them over the decades. built like tanks - they are -

Tube Amplification(?) + (Music?) + Cornwalls =?
OO1 replied to K2RGF's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
I have Cornwalls with SS and they sound great - no needf or tubes or any expensive gear - any 100 watts amp will do if it is good quality - find a class A amplifier of 25 watts SS per channel and you will be amazed - no need for tubes at all - -

how much did the plans cost you - -
STICK WITH THE CHORUS 2 - for rock

fantastic - just as long as it is real and legit - 100$ is a low low figure and sounds too good to be real IMHO

The Yamaha CR-3020 made my list below from last fall when mustang guy and myself were on the monster receiver kick. Just saw another complete Rotel RX-1603 sell for $715 but my audio budget is currently depleted so I had to pass again. I have restored versions of the Concept 16.5 and the Pioneer SX-1250 and I'm a big fan of both; however, it is difficult to find either cheap. I would have to agree. Here is a list of some of the most powerful (mfg 8 ohm ratings) pre-1990 vintage receivers of all time. Many are from the 1970s; however, there are a few after that period that seemed to deserve recognition in this list. I almost picked up a Rotel RX-1603 for a nice price; however, it was sold before I got around to it. 1. Technics SA-1000 - 330 WPC 2. Marantz 2600 - 300 WPC 3. Sansui G-33000 - 300 WPC 4. Pioneer SX-1980 - 270 WPC 5. Marantz 2500 - 250 WPC 6. Sansui G-22000 - 220 WPC 7. Sansui G-9700 - 200 WPC 8. Kenwood KR-9050 - 200 WPC 9. Hitachi SR-2004 - 200 WPC 10. Marantz 2385 - 185 WPC 11. Pioneer SX-1280 - 185 WPC 12. Technics SA-5770 - 185 WPC 13. Rotel RX-1603 - 180 WPC 14. Nikko NR-1415 - 175 WPC 15. Fisher RS-1080 - 170 WPC 16. Yamaha CR-3020 - 170 WPC 17. Concept 16.5 - 165 WPC 18. Technics SA-5760 - 165 WPC 19. Kenwood KR-9600 - 160 WPC 20. Luxman R-117 - 160 WPC 21. Onkyo TX-8500 MkII - 160 WPC 22. Pioneer SX-1250 - 160 WPC 23. Sansui G-8700 - 160 WPC 24. Sansui G-9000/901 - 160 WPC 25. Sansui 9900Z - 160 WPC These didn't make the list as they are 'only' 125 WPC; however, I think they look great. what a wish list - and most of these are still exceptional amplifiers but they are very expensive to repair - so you better find one in great shape - that helps greaty rather than a beat up unit -

we really want to know how it sounds , the walls are going to shake with the Daytons - were theyt moreexpensivethan say a KAPPA15C - any reason why you chose the DAYTONS overall - -

your Heresy speakers are 1983 for sure as there was a Heresy 1 with k24-k77-k701 in 84 - the Heresy 2 was released in 85 with a k24 -k53-k76
-
these are the odd heresy with the k53 instead of the k55v -and the E2 network - is the midrange horn a K700 with the screw on adaptor for the k53 or is it a k701 plastic midrange horn - Plastic mid horn. What year are they? E - Heresy (E2 for 1983-1984 Heresy-Is with K-24 & K53/701's)

First, can you carry a note, lol. Lol it's not me that does the singing. Trust me on that! It's my wife's friends that wants me to have karaoke when they come over. But of course I am doing it in my living room! then you will have a true party - these speakers are very awesome

very odd veneer

Want to experiment with Altec 416-8C woofers

Want to experiment with Altec 416-8C woofers
OO1 replied to jimjimbo's topic in Technical/Restorations
the OP said EXPERIMENT - sort of like a test or curiosity - the problem is while it will fit in a CW1 baffle -it wont in a CW2 unless you make the opening bigger - you cant use the same screw holes or the crossovers either - -a Cornscala seems to be the best choice iN A 2 WAY SETUP with the ALTEC crossover IMHO -

OO1 replied to jimjimbo's topic in Technical/Restorations
the fact that it is a 8ohms woofer vs the K33 4 ohms -how foes that aspect play out -
Yes, you just clamp it on to your chain, hold onto it with one hand, and turn the pedals with the other. The chain gets routed through the different brushes which are bathed in a degreaser. DOH, even I get it now. just dont squeeze it very hard -or drop it this is very thin plastic -

SOLD: Cary CAD-300 SEI tube integrated with upgraded tubes

this amp is a tank - how do you ship this safely - -
Chorus 2 for karaoke would be way overkill , they can be heard in a hall - your neighbours 100 feet away will feel the bass -as for yourself 1 watt of power will be more than enough -

OO1 replied to jimjimbo's topic in Technical/Restorations
the 416-8C should fit in a Cornwall 1 as it is not front mounted - the mounting hole diameter is 14 1/8 inches - -
ooooooooooops - mike's right - these are still used in Scalas 2 - Khorns and will still be for years - the k400 are however beautiful show pieces -versus the plastic -
