$499.99 medium oak academy showing up on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3063619005&category=14992

sold the quartets?

cool - my son planted a seed of doubt in my mind when I was headed out the door to the Post Office. "Dad there's nothing in that box!" I can ignore the doubt now.... :^)

Gary - does your Academy have the Klipsch logo on it? ( Did they get there?)

I've used both in the same setup....I like the Heresy better, the form is an issue. I'd buy half of a set of Oak Clear Heresy IIs .....

I hope you'll offer it to the forum first! I sold one recently and had offers as high as $600. I think you should have a reverse auction. Offer it at $600 for day, if you don't get a buyer, drop it to $550 the next day, and so on.....might be fun! They are bringing a ton of money. I've found that since my main interest is music, that I am much happier with a heresy as a center, but those whose empahsis is movies really like the acadamy.

Couple of thoughts - - "you can't legislate morality" or impose honor on someone else's character - we now know the price of one person's integrity - I guess i am not willing to do more than shake my head at this person's actions, and i hope the next time i mess up i'll get no worse than that.....

I appreciate the info so far... I do have a Dynaco qd-2 and I am amazed at what the addition of the center channel does for my albums. I rarely hear much from the rear speakers, but I suspect it may be that they are not efficient (like the Fortesand heresy in front). Iv'e never had or been exposed to quad. Eliminate cd-4 from the mix, since i have not and probably won't ever spend the money for a cartridge to play those. I guess my specific questions are: 1) When playing qs for example, are there four equal channels, or is more like surround sound where the back channels provide "fill" or "ambience"? 2)Does the QD-2 do the same thing as a quad decoder ( like sansui for example) from the old days? 3) If I did have more efficient speakers in the back, would I get the same thing or something close to what an old qaud receiver or amp would have done? Or to get the full effect do you need the decoder and 4 channel amplification? Thanks for your patience - -

nyuk nyuk - I am looking for a single or mateless........ Heresy II, Quartet, or Forte to use as a center speaker. I'm watching EBAY, of course, but wanted to ask here just in case....many thanks - feclough@aol.com

Hi - I was just given (for a quarter apiece) a huge collection of records. Some of them are quad. I'd like to buy a quad decoder, receiver, or anything that would allow me to fool around with these quead records. Don't know too much about this, so I don't want necessarily to spend a bunch of money. Thanks - Forrest

If two people split a pair of quartets, do each of them end up with a pair of octets?

Well, since the deal was not honored and the dealer was not honorable, I'm moving away from that acadamy and on to the consideration of the wise alternative posted here. Anyone here interested in finding and splitting a pair of quartets? Without the riser (or base) they are only 28 inches tall, (less than 5 inches longer than an acadamy).

Well- I had a deal with the seller, but so many people hit him with a barrage of mail ( including many names that I recognize from this forum) that he reneged and changed it to an auction. Oh well, I suppose someone here will enjoy the speaker and he will enjoy the proceeds. (Palms up, head shaking....)

Yeah! Pictures! And a price?

The Fortes play deeper, and....the floor space they take up really isn't much more than Heresys, they're taller tho. I have both, and if I could just keep one pair, it'd definitely be the Fortes. YMMV

Sir J: I don't know that I am capable of building one, so I'd hate for you to waste time figuring it out, if that's what you were offering.

Hi - hope you're all well today.... My question for the panel is: Does the Forte II share it's crossover with other models? How similar is it to the Heresy crossover? If anyone has one available left over from a project or something I'd like to get hold of one....thx FC

HI - did you ever sell the tangent center?

hello....might need to put this here.... I have an oiled oak academy that is underutilized. My listening is heavily weighted to 2 channel (vinyl). I would like to trade the academy toward or for a pair of large mains: cornwall, chorus, forte, etc. If you have an underutilized set of mains, and want an academy, please e-mail me at: feclough@aol.com. I'm near Atlanta. The Academy is in very good condition, no major oops. Thanks all.....

ah - i left out some info. I'd planned to maintain a sealed enclosure. (close up the holes. i'd read here before, i believe, that that woofer needed more space (in a sealed enclosure). in detail, i thought i would cut matching circles in the ends of the two cabinets to 'mate' them, then take the back off of the one that would have no drivers, then cover those holes with plywood cut to fit. i hope that makes sense.

Good morning - I often read, but rarely post, but today I need opinions and advice. I am considering putting two heresy cabinets together with one set of drivers. I have a great sounding abused cabinet set of heresys and have found an empty set of cabinets. My idea is to join one loaded and one unloaded cabinet together. Any thoughts? I've read here that the box is too small for the woofer to realize it's full potential and the purpose would be to improve the low end.

so -is the rca gold series audio cable really the same thing as component video cable? for those who only need short runs is this a viable way to save a few bucks? Thx - Forrest

Mike, Craig, and all- I often read but don't often have much to add to the forum, but I'm enjoying this thread. Over the last few months I've been talking about records some at work and have ended up with a lot of albums given to me, along with what I've grabbed at Goodwill, etc. I have "rhymin simon' on now, and have been going through my vinyl looking for some of those you all have mentioned. Which Dire Straits album are you considering their first? I'd like to look for that in the stacks. Also I am unfamiliar with Gerry Rafferty (probably will recognize stuff once I play it) -I've found "Night Owl" among my albums. Is that one I should clean and play? Thanks for letting me but into your discussion -
