  1. Buy with confidence anything that Joe is selling, I have had multiple deals with Joe and the items have been better than advertised.I bought a pair of speakers today and Joe had to show me the imperfections and I am picky.I have never been a fan of open baffle speakers but after hearing Joe’s speakers today I may be in trouble.Thanks again Joe

  2. Trying to justify Klipsch pricing for current line of Heritage speakers and here is what I think.For years Klipsch made moderate changes to there speakers as they kinda drifted away from their Heritage line.

    I can remember in the early 2000’s trying to find a dealer where you could listen to Klipschorns and even Klipsch dealers that had some of the heritage models did not have them and they were made to order and to me that is why the line suffered.

    In the last few years Klipsch had to see what was happening with people upgrading their heritage line speakers and following the newsgroups they had to know that they had to improve the line and to do this they had to spend money on R&D and with this it caused prices to go up and now with the newer models even more R&D and with the high cost of materials they had to have price increases.12k is not chump change, but if you priced other speakers from other manufacturers with the same cabinets,drivers ,quality of the cabinets and weight of the speakers I think most would agree they would be priced way more than 12k.

  3. I picked up a Core Power Technologies equi-core 1800 and after  a day of chasing a ground hum what a difference it has in my system.Thanks to Justin for his help,my issue was a bad pair of interconnects.

    I have the deep core and the Equicore. The deep core paired with equicore with 6 Hubble duplex outlets are the for the source/pre. The deep core can vary the impedance between neutral and hot and stoped dc. I can’t hear the difference but a reviewer I trust swears buy it. The pair of deep core+ equicore is my front end duty setup for Quietest a operation. The power amps are into a equicore to.  It’s a 15amp version of what I’ve been using. I did add an emi/tif filter to each but that’s me being anal retentive and overkill.  

    I have a a second system and the room has some issue with noise from my electrical outlet and I was hoping these would help.

  5. I doubt it I used 2 different amps, Bob Carver VTA-20 and Primaluna EVO-300 and with both amps, I had the same issues.I changed the taps on both amps and that took care of the issue.I also swapped out crossovers I have ALK ES-400/ES-5800 and ALK Cornscala universals and both crossovers did the same thing.

  6. When I lived in Greensboro,NC I lived in the same neighborhood and as a young man of 18 it was a treat to see him ride his bike.He was the most down to earth guy you would ever want to meet. RIP Mr. Neal

    based on opinion, are these worth the asking price?

    Is the year model a desirable pair, or are there better models with updated drivers, etc that would be in the same price range?

    Thanks,

    Yes, upgrades that takes these great looking speakers to the next level and you could always swap out the upgraded crossovers with the originals to compare the sound.You could then sell the extra parts to lower your cost.I had a pair of 1981 vintage walnut Klipschorns thst were all original with Klipsch manuals,letters from Klipsch and original sales invoice and I sold mine for 4000.00 and the only reason I sold them was to buy a pair of Klipschorns with AK-4 crossovers and ribbon mahogany.
