So Roy sent Ralph a K69 and Ralph got his tinkle back huh? sounds a little kinky to me.

Thanks for the clarification Jim.

Dave, in your opinion how does the sound quality of the D250X compare to a K-55? I know the frequency responses, and efficiency are different. Just want to hear an opinion on the sound quality once the crossover has been set. Thanks.

Is this 12 watt amp enough to rattle my walls with authority?

What do you think about bi-amping the speakers? Using a tube amp for the mid and tweeter drivers, and use the the solid state amp for the woofer only? Is that getting the best of both worlds, or is that not a good idea?

Thanks for the info Jim and Ski Bum.

Room is 15x25, with only a sofa and hardwood floors. Listening position is about 8 feet from speakers, and most importantly I listen at loud levels sometimes, especially when the wife is not home. Loud meaning just enough to rattle all the walls of the house, but not too loud to point my neighbors are hearing my music. For some reason, Im thinking 1.5 watts would not be enough.

Krispy Kirk: Ok, my listening room is about 15x25. Listening position is aprox 8 feet from speakers. Just a sofa in the room, with hardwood floors. I am currently using a NAD 3020 Integrated amplifier. I would prefer a integrated stereo tube amp ( less mumbo jumbo ), but a power tube amp would also be ok. And sure, used gear is ok.

Now that's an option. I have seen some diy kits but didn't really think I had the capabilities of assembling it myself. I can solder but that is about it.

Thanks JPM, i just sent him a message.

im no tech savvy guru by any means, but i think it is possible that the email could have gone to the spam folder.

Hi everyone. I am looking to buy my first tube amplifier to pair with Klipsch speakers. Is it possible to get a decent tube amp under five hundred bucks? Some of the speakers it would be powering are Cornwall II's, Heresys, Forte II's and RF-3's. I listen to a wide variety of music including hip-hop, and I like a decent amount of bass, so Im not sure if an extremely low powered amp would be enough. Any suggestions for a good budget amp? Also how important is it to use a Tube Pre-Amp with a tube power amp? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I had a C370 and did not like it.. Sounded lifeless. Paid 100 and sold it for 100.

Thank you robotc for the xo sheet. I will try it and let you know how it works.

Sounds like an underrated sleeper. I love it.

Waiting till December 22 to build a new crossover.

Sounds like I need a pair of 5's.

nice work

I would buy them, but I need a little more bass in a speaker.

I own a pair of 1985 Cornwall II's and they seem to sound very well balanced to me. The bass is also solid, but I too sometimes turn up the bass on my pre amp when I really want to push them hard (which I do very often). I have mine set up to a 70wpc class A amplifier in a 1350 square foot shop and they sound great, even when the the eq setting are set to flat. I listen to them all day Monday-Friday 9-5 at my place of employment. A great speaker to say the least. Mine are awaiting a re-cap that will be happing very soon.

Good luck with the sale.

does anybody have a complete modified crossover spec sheet for the RF3?

DRAMA ! ! !

I would buy these if anyone is willing to deliver to Los Angeles area. Calling the Klipsch Express..

Ha!, I needed a good laugh.
