These are close to me in Peachtree Corners (no affiliation with seller). https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/ele/6062537966.html

The best amp for me is the one I bought with a pair of Forte II a few years ago. The seller had a Musical Fidelity A2 from the UK and I never had anything but receivers. His set up sounded wonderful to my ears so I bought the amp, too. Described as Class A, at 25 watts; it's a delight and really drives those Fortes distortion-free to volumes beyond anything reasonable for my space. And it helps keep my office warm in the winter!

I just checked my email for the Frys promocode sales and this is included in the seven day ad. The store Web page won't show the sale price. Last time I used a promocode I had to use it at checkout. What a great price! I bought mine on open box a few years ago at a good discount but not this good! Too bad I don't have a need for another one....

I bought the RB-61 ii's from Klipsch a couple of weeks ago to match the other Reference speakers in the den: RF-62ii towers, RC-62ii center, and two R-12SW subs. I am completely satisfied with the RB-61 as surrounds in that room. Although we enjoyed the setup without surrounds, the Klipsch sale this season was a great opportunity, particularly if I wanted to match with the other speakers. I put them up on Sanus stands to bring them up to ear level and they really have enhanced our movie watching experience! I hope you will have a similar positive experience.

To quote from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "I got better!" OK on the second try, don't know why. It WAS a shock at first, though

A glitch, obviously. Whatever it was, I didn't do it....

Too much, I'm sure! But if you find yourself in the Atlanta metro area.....

What a deal this could be! It has a nice cabinet and a perfect speaker. The plate amplifier is probably dead but does that really matter? It shouldn't be a problem for someone who knows what they are doing and could revive it. I offer it for someone in the Atlanta area as a project for only $34.78. Otherwise it's heading for the recyclers. /Steve

There are two Fry's in the metro Atlanta area and they are most definitely not a "scam store" whatever that is. Prices are decent although you should watch for the sales. Like many other retailers some things are available online, some in the store. I've been shopping there for the last ten years and their customer service is very good.

2013, brand new pair of RF-62 II, followed quickly by 1980 Heresy and 1992 Forte II within a year. Yes, I'd love to add more.

It is a one-day sale and you have to use a "Promo Code" (you sign up and get the deals by email).

One of the many great things about Frys is they let you buy, take home, and try the speaker for a month. Assuming the store is nearby, you can bring it back if you don't like it. I bought the R-12SW a couple of months ago from our local Frys with that in mind. But I've been very happy with it and kept it. I am no audiophile but it gives a solid bottom end for our movies (carpeted room, 30'x13', with a low acoustical-tiled ceiling). Gain is set fairly low, I hear no 'boominess,' and it is great for music as well. Perhaps my opinion is colored by the low price but my wife likes it, thus further justifying the purchase. The only complaint has been from the kids two floors up. They always know when dad's playing a movie down in the basement. There are far better subwoofers and many of the experts here will attest to that. Me, I had two hundred bucks and relished the idea of not spending fourteen hundred to get the effect I sought. /Steve

Saddened by your loss. Many good thoughts and prayers offered for you and yours. /Steve

A beautiful tribute.

This is shocking news; I am so sorry for your loss. Through his posts, Boxx helped make this forum an informative, entertaining, and friendly “place” to hang out.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am thankful to have found the forum and the good people who have been such a great help to this novice. In my house we have experienced more illness and one death this year, but also many more opportunities for thanks. And throughout it all there has been beautiful music to nourish the spirit.

I responded to a post from Klipsch through my Facebook feed. They were looking for stories and gave the URL to reply to, and I did. Still a process, though. That was many weeks ago and I thought they might not have a use for it. Who knows what they have to do to select. If you have a cool story send it in!

Apparently I am writing copy for Klipsch now. Based on what I submitted in response to a call for “garage sale” bargains, Klipsch published my story here http://www.klipsch.com/blog/craigslist-encounter-klipsch-heresy-speakers/ (although I don’t think I own the typos!). If those speakers could talk…. But of course they do sing!

It looks like the thread is taking a turn but I'll post anyway. My avatar shows my first Klipsch: Heresy from 1980...and flamingos because, uh, flamingos! Lot's of tropical stuff in the den. Really, I grabbed an image real quick so I'd have an avatar.

My first (and only) 8-track was by a Miami band named Fantasy. I don’t know if someone gave it to me or if I bought it. Around 1969-1970 they were popular in South Florida and even had a hit, “Stoned Cowboy.” The lead singer Jamene Miller was awesome, with a powerful voice that was a lot like Janis Joplin -- yet Jamene was only about 16 at the time!

I sweep Craigslist ads more often than is reasonable. I'd like to know the story here. Or maybe not. Posting image, too, because I doubt the ad will stay up very long. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/ele/4519797877.html

Sometimes I buy the Amazon Prime item, sometimes from another vendor, or not even on Amazon at all. I never thought it was too big a deal. Sometimes the convenience is worth the $3.99.

Speeding ticket on my way to work. On this long stretch of four-lane in Doraville, GA designated a 35mph zone. First moving violation for me in over 40yrs of driving. I'm not as upset as I should be. Except for the ticket price.

Sitting here in Atlanta. Knowing those Cornwalls are still available and fairly close is torture. Hope you sell them soon! I don't need the temptation to spend money I should hold on to...... Really, good luck with the sale. There are great folk in my old hometown, that scruffy home of the Volunteers; they must not be getting your message.

Strong indeed the Forte Force is. Patient I must be. Some of these deals on Forte II just have to come within spittin' distance of Atlanta.
