  1. I have a Klipsch 115-SW Bash amplifier that just quit. I did not see it listed in your list of repairs. Can I send it to you? And how long does a repair currently take? I saw your eBay was listed into April. Thanks!
  2. Sorry I missed this... If I turn it up loud I see the first green lights. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I think commercial pre units and amplifiers have higher line-level input where you would actually see all four lights as you turned it up. Since I use a home Pre and home amps I barely see one green line-level light when turned up loud. Trent
  3. Wow!!! Those look amazing!!! Congratulations!!! I’m glad you stopped by for a listen! Trent
  4. I have had ZERO issues with this unit. It is really pretty close to the 205, as far as sound, but the 205 seems a little more effortless. It's hard to put it into words. Trent
  5. Sold! Oppo BDP-83SE (Special Edition) audiophile Blu-ray player in mint condition. This audiophile unit will play all disc formats including CD’s, DVD Audio, SACD, DVD, and Blu-ray. The BDP-83 Special Edition incorporates the ES9016 Sabre (32) Ultra DAC for the stereo output and an ES9006 DAC for the 7.1 channel output. The video chipset is VRS from Anchor Bay. I replaced this unit with a new Oppo UDP-205. I’m asking $275.
  6. Sold!!!! I have a mint Emotiva Stealth DC-1 DAC for sale. I have all of the original packaging, manual and remote. It works awesome, I just prefer to use the DAC in my new Oppo UDP-205. I believe the unit still has warranty too. I’m asking $275.
  7. Cornwall’s are great, but they will not hold up to the 904’s! Period! I now have Jubilees which I consider even better than the 904’s, but I have owned KHorns, LaScalas, Cornwall’s, Forte, RF-7II’s, etc. So far, I haven’t heard anything that competes with the pro line.
  8. Well... my Jubilees will easily touch 120 dB in my 19 by 48 foot room. I love playing “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons for people. It will literally blur your vision if you stare at a fixed object- LOL!!! The maximum output is supposedly around 128 dB, but I don’t want to go deaf, or actually run the risk of hurting them or my ears. They will coast in the 110 dB range without breaking a sweat. Tonight it’s just Eminem’s new album (most of which was just too political) and now some Miles Davis at around 75 dB.
  9. Just finished a mid century modern console table. Started with a sequential serial number set of Klipsch Cornwall speakers ($1500-$1800 online), Walnut veneered in a waterfall style all the way around, finished with 8 coats of 100% pure tung oil, cured for two weeks then hand polished. I currently have these hooked up to a Sonos Amp, that receives TV input or Apple Music etc. It sounds amazing! Perfect for that MCM Audiophile who has everything...almost. Dimensions 71.5 X 16 X 31 3/4
  10. Interesting.... https://www.ksl.com/classifieds/listing/50665320
  11. I have used a single Heresy III as a center for quite a while. I’ve used it between a set of Heresy III’s, Fortes, Klipschorns and two pairs of LaScalas!!! I now use it between my Jubilees.
  12. A Single Heresy would be a near perfect match for a center between Forte IIs. I just lay mine on it’s side.
  13. Don’t forget fixmydual.com. I’ve run a Project Carbon with an Ortofon Blue and a Denon DP-300F with an Ortofon Blue. I then decided to try a restored Dual 1219 turntable from fixmydual.com with a Shure M97xE cartridge. Any guess which turntable is between my Klipsch Jubilees today? A hint would be that I’ve sold the Denon and the Project. The Dual is built like a tank. It’s an idler drive just like the older Thorens tables. I believe you can get one with a new wooden plinth, dust cover and cartridge for under $600!
  14. If you are looking for new/used Cornwall’s or Heresy’s a used pair of Forte I’s or II’s is still a great option. I’ve owned Klipschorns, two pairs of LaScalas, Cornwalls, Heresy III’s, RF-7II’s, RF-82 II’s, KLF-30’s and now Jubilees. What speakers do I no longer have that I actually miss? I miss my LaScalas and Forte I’s. The Fortes can benefit from a corner, but they don’t need them. If I were choosing between the Cornwall, Heresy or Forte without good corners behind them I’d go with the Fortes!!!! You’ll probably even find that a sub isn’t necessary with the Fortes. They are basically a slightly taller Heresy with a passive radiator on the back. And.... the drivers are up off the floor!!! Just trying to give you an honest no bullshit opinion.
  15. Chris I get the exact same message you do on my MacBook. I’ve run it on a PC and my MacBook and it’s identical.
  16. Do they need corners? No- not at all, but I am seeing/hearing excellent performance in frequencies below 40hz by cornerloading mine. If you check my REW screenshot on the first page you can see I'm hearing things very well down to 25hz which is pretty remarkable. 20hz can still be heard, but it starts to get pretty quite.
