Mister Jazz

Wow, they look nice

Thanks

I sent you 2 texts, check your phone. (not about Belles though). No texts

How I found the ad without seeing that link is interesting....oh well the search continues.

Any of these finishes would be perfect http://s1253.photobucket.com/user/mrjazz1959/media/alura17.jpg.html?filters[user]=129181457&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0

Wow.........wish I could have acquired this pair the seller list them as mint($1750.00). They look about as clean as any I have ever seen. And were sold in this area, :-( http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649234791-belle-klipsch-speakers/

Still for sale ?

I do not mind the prices as much as the shipping i cant find any in the DMV. (DC,MD,VA) area. Thanks for the help Tasdom

Sounds good the only problem is finding a pair in my area. Found a post and thought i hit the jack pot then i noticed "SOLD" in the ad.

USN That's good to know information since my musical taste are contemporary jazz and jazz fusion the Belle seems to be a great choice and affordable.

Great looking Belles, and thanks for your service USN.

Bruce I use that technique all the time to tone down the harsh mids on my Cornwall3's and it is very effective. Since i use a Bryston bdp and not CD's I remaster all my music myself through Adobe Audition and convert to 96K files. But will the Scalla give me a more robust bass than a Belle?

Thanks and i will keep that in mind but looking local to save on shipping gives me more money to spend on the speakers. I am very familiar with the Volti speakers, They were just at an audio show here in Rockville MD. He does great work I remember when his prices doubled. If I am not mistaken he did offer them without sub for around 11,000.00$ now around 20,000.00. Great looking speakers.

I thought this was a good deal but the seller wants $1500.00 to pack and ship them at that cost I could buy a local used pair of B&W 800 series speakers :-) http://www.ebay.com/itm/112032260678?euid=0aa038fd26f24f38a65fcde60e2c2a13&bu=43143608070&cp=1&sojTags=bu=bu

I do not have the option for a set of KHorn's as my walls and corner walls were just treated and I do not want to try and remove all the foam treatment from them. So corner speakers are not going to be an option for me. I love the look of the belle's but sound is more important. I never considered the scalla as I thought it would produce the same bass as the belle just in a bit less attractive package. I am still not sure about the controversy as to whether the Klipsch Belle was strictly designed to get waf, or as a center channel for the KHorn. But i want to use it as a full range audio speaker wo a subwoofer if possible. I have CW3'S now but want to upgrade. They sound good with my new YGGY but mid range is less than desirable. I know i will lose some bass but hope it is not that significant. Of course i realize i could get an 2005 model that has been modified and damaged but as i said the odds would be slightly less IMHO. But maybe I should settle for any model year in 9/10 condition if possible.

Curious if your scalla's are good stand alone music transducers or do you need a sub woofer?

I agree the cloth that is now on the scalla really dressed it up.

Thank you all for your responses.

2005 because it was the last production year and hopefully has less wear and tear on the cabinets. Also being the last production year might lend itself to still having the original crossovers and speakers.

Also I have a question about the belle. If it is rated down to 50 hz and can produce that, why does it have such a bad reputation for producing great sounding bass? ?

I hope to find a pair in the Washington DC area if possible Thank you

I would like to buy a pair of Belle klipsch production year 2005 in great condition.

Klipsch community I just ordered a pair of C3's and would like your opinions. On a scale of 1-10 how accurate do you think these speakers are. We know they are extremely efficient as speakers go , but what about their proficiency ?

Thanks Top

Just purchased my first pair of klipsch cornwall 3's and my question is....How can such a robust speaker be rated at 100w Root Means Square. I have a 300w Carver Sunfire and I know I have put much more that that across these speaker terminals and they did not even blink. Can someone explain this and I hope this is not a repost. Thanks
