Track 5, One Monkey

Track 3, Dangle the Carrot

It's in the OP. Lynchburg Va. 24502

I'm going to return this to the factory next week if not sold by then. So if you are close enough and looking for a sub, make an offer. Shakey

@mustang_flht Funny you should mention that. Last year two ladies who are associated with the re-opening of The Loft drove from Manhattan to Virginia in a van to buy my Klipschorns for that very purpose. They were scouring the east coast for khorns and ultimately wanted 8 pair for the club. Shakey

Having not heard the RF7, my input may be worthless. But I do own the CW IV and I find it hard to believe you wouldn’t love it with any type of music. This is especially true if you are going to use dual subs, which I do too. Although very good with bass on their own, the subs are the icing on the cake when listening to music that plunges into the low 30s and below. My take is to spend the extra $$ now and get a heritage speaker and you’ll never “wish you had”....... Shakey

Hard to believe these beauties are still around.

I had a VTI BL 304 rack and it changed the sound in a way that I didn't like. Some people here will poo poo my observation, but it made the sound thinner. I ended up buying a Rigid Rack three shelf rack and all was good with the audio world again. I couldn't sell the VTI, so I ended up gifting it to a friend.

Price added to OP. Of course forum members get the "special" price.............

I have an HSU VTF-15H II for sale in Lynchburg Va. This sub was only used for one week and I liked it so much, I ordered two of the smaller ULS-15s because they are a better fit for my room. This thing is a beast and can be tuned to whatever type of listening you do. The foam ports make it a sealed configuration for music listening. EQ switch and Q settings allow you to dial in in perfectly. It is, of course, in mint condition. Double boxed with all original packing material and accessories. Size and weight prohibit shipping. Local pickup is desired, but I am willing to drive a reasonable distance to meet a buyer. Price is 800.00. Cost from HSU to your door is 1022.00. Which is why I can't ship. But this thing is basically brand new. https://www.soundandvision.com/content/hsu-research-vtf-15h-mk2-and-vtf-3-mk5-hp-subwoofer-reviews

Get a proper rack and get all that equipment separated. Not only will it be good for your gear, but you might find it improves the sound too. Shakey

Gone already!

I'm on the third book of the Asian series.

Why would you remove the asking price? This is good info for the archives. Shakey

If you think it would be fun, that's one thing. But any semblance of high fidelity goes right out the window. I'm not sure why you just don't listen to a seedee or a digital file instead of doing all that. Shakey

I would buy the best Rega your budget will allow. Not much under a grand can touch a well set up Rega. They run a little fast, but that adds to the liveliness they are known for. Oh, and stay away from Bluetooth in a vinyl rig. That should go without saying.............. Shakey

All this talk about movies and home theater. Well there are some of us that don’t give two sh$&s about car crashes, explosions, and Dino stomps. I’m not saying they are all that way, but many ported subs are one trick ponies. I really like what my HSU sub does with music with both ports sealed. But I think I am going to send it back and get a pair of smaller ULS-15s. I’m just looking to augment the cornwalls and the HSU does just that. SVS was on the list too and I’m sure their SB series do justice to music too. Shakey

Horn loaded gets a pass. The klipschorn bass bin was the best bass I have heard except for OB bass. But standard ported subs are what I was referring to. Not sure what IB is though. Shakey

The real question is this. With all the good integrated amps on the market today, tube AND SS, why would you want to use a receiver of any kind? Shakey

But my point is that klipsch doesn't make a sealed sub, which I think we can all agree is the best design for reproducing music. Shakey

A TVC is a very good sounding preamp. I used one for many years. Shakey

I would like to know the answer to this riddle. What sealed sub does klipsch make that competes with other sealed subs in its price range?

Nice. I’d say a thousand dollars is very fair. Shakey

My suggestion is to get them "near" the back wall, but away from corners. They can get a little boomy if too close. 8-10 inches seems to be a good starting point. Toe them in so they fire "just" in front of your head. Shakey
