]good results for less cash in Munster without the hassel of the Chicago traffic.that sounds like a win,win to me .thanks for time and help.

Thanks,derrickdj1 I will most likely try the one in Munster also.As far as the two in Chicago .Were you satisfied with the service they performed? Just a bit pricey I gather.

Thank you beeker for taking the time to reply to my question.yes buying new would be a lot simpler,but love the r 117 and would like to have it serviced as it still works.I believe I can get many more years out of it if I keep it maintained.I have been able to find several repair shops in or around Chicago but as I or anyone I know have not used them I felt i was taking a shot in the dark so to speak.that is why I ask here first ,as I have only got straight forward and honest replies from this community.I was able to search the older threads here and find reference from one of the members of a man who was older that actually was a luxman repair TEC.I will pm the form member in hope ge has contact info.thanks Stacy

I am looking for someone that does repair and service work on older equipment.I have a luxman r117 that I would like to get serviced.a nad amp that needs a going thru.also have a luxman r 113 needing some attention.and a denon 5 disc player needing some work.I am located in Terre haute in.(West of Indy) on Indiana Illinois border. If you know of any reputable service TEC and would pass on there contact info I would greatly appreciate it thanks in advance for any info .

I am in hope somebody close to him is willing to pick it up and hold it for me for a small fee or maybe a return favor

I spoke to owner no shipping, I would like to have it any body want to help a speaker junkie get his fix .give me a e mail if interested. Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the marantz .if it has pre out connections you can use them to the amp you want to use then you would be using the marantz2265 as a pre amp and would be driving your speakers with the power from the amp you add only

Newegg have them on sale till the 11th

Thanks everyone for your input ,the general consensus bridging my amps would have no benefit and is potentially fatal for the beloved khorns.so I have decided to not peruse the bridging . This is another example of the fine people of this (klipsch community) sharing their experience and knowledge. Stacy

I think the price is good to 16th maybe 17th I bought one last Wed .got it in two days this one got by ups on first try .

WMcD thanks for taking the time to explain amp bridging and its relation to resistance.what I was thinking to accomplish was to gain extra headroom and maybe improve the sound. Although the amp is supposed to be stable to two ohm it has a rms of 150 watts per channel ,which is probably a lot of headroom to start with. If I do bridge them it would just be a short run to see if there was any difference in sound. Thanks again for your time and knowledge. Stacy

Thanks for the reply islander ill look into the impedance switch on the amps.probably call nad next week to see what they say about leaving them set to 8ohm.the manual says to switch it to 4 ohm if they are bridged.even if they are to be used on 8ohm speakers.i just bought the second amp today so I wont get it till late next week.may get to try the two amps bridged next weekend. I will let you know how it works out .thanks for the input.

Yes 128db is way above my listening level .like I said I was wondering if the surplus power would give me a better sound quality.not that the k horns sound bad .

the room is small 15z20 my seat will be around 15 feet from speakers I dont listen to loud volumes very often once in a while for merry shot times I may not understand headroom but I thought having surplus power would give me extra headroom and sound better .thanks for your reply

the amps are nad 2700thx the khorns are 1988.I'm New to this hobby so correct me if I'm wrong,I thought by having tons of extra power gave me more headroom .witch in turn sounded better .thanks for the reply .

If understand correct they are 8ohm but the impedance varies with frequency.what I would like to ask .I am thinking of bridging my amps so they are 400 watt mono.but to do that the amp has a impedance selector that has to be switched to 4 ohm.will it still be safe to run my klipschorns with it running at 4 ohm (with some self control with the get loud knob) thanks for any insight .

If you have any of the three and want to sell or know were they could be found shoot me a pm. Thanks.

Yes they have a black slate top ,looks like walnut veneer and a black and grey grill cloth .I ran them for about an hour with my nad still think they sound pretty nice .had to stop ,the old nad is acting up.was getting distortion out of one channel.anybody recommend someone to service vintage solid state amps?

Only got to listen to them for a bit last night and looks like may be a couple days before ill have any time for them.my first impression they sounded pretty nice with my jolida

thanks for the link. Djk

Hey everyone,I hope this does not get me banished to the far reaches of this forum.I was in the pawn shop after work last night and bought a pair of altec Lansing Santana speakers.I was hoping somebody could guide me to some info on them.when I did a search all I came up with was eBay and old Craig's list ads. Thanks

Javelin you have a pm

I would agree,you were miss informed. I have a similar size room 11z15 have my k horns on the 11 foot wall I I think they sound nothing short of amazing.As far as the bass goes I find I get crisp detailed bass at all volume level If you get the opportunity to get another pair I would recommend go for it you can always resale latter if you are unhappy.
