The History Kid

You're like Switzerland, alright. Mountainous, rocky, probably full of holes, smelly cheese, and a lot of creepy sheep herders.

Well, SOMEONE had to go and make a mod angry and delete the thread where I showed back up again after a couple years. I bet it was actually you.

I'm not restricted by the street lights like some people here. Probably not him, but some people who were around him. I'll fite you.

Do you know why we can't have nice things? This. This is why. That and you just lose them all.

Iowa seems to be in a slump for buyers right now. Not a lot of stuff moving for many around these parts.

Amps are now off eBay. They are either going to be local or sold through here. Pony express friendly too, just need to line up a transport if necessary. Surely someone wants these monsters (or one) for themselves.

When I had Bob work on my RF-3 XO's, I had seen that thread too. The guy was not listening to anything that any of the members were saying, and instead just stopped reading when there was the slightest bit of criticism - no matter how constructive (or lack thereof). I opted to have Bob build mine. He built them on wood, which looked very nice, and seemed to work very well. I then installed the XO's in the front of the tower underneath the lower woofer. I trimmed the foam just a little bit; enough to make room for the components on the board. There were no issues. As long as you're leaving the foam around the port you shouldn't have a problem. I would imagine that the 5's should respond well to an XO update. My 3's did, to my ears anyway. I also swapped out the tweeter diaphragms, but I'm not sure you'd want/need to do this in the 5's.

Haha. Not a starving student anymore. Just trying to pay debt off and save on the interest. That responsibility thing that others in my generation seem to be bad at. 😄

Bump for good measure. I'm taking offers guys, but I gotta at least be a little careful. The money from this is going towards student loans - as is most stuff I am / will be selling.

I just saw this. They sold a while ago, sorry.

He's apparently been flooded by offers. I might be picking the RC-7 up from him tomorrow.

UPDATE: Only one left! (w/ painted Gen I trim) Pics/Updated pricing: Contact for more pictures if you'd like (see listing first, there's photos there!), or a shipping estimate.

Jim, please. In some cases that's true, but a far cry from "everything." People like to think that just because they have a story to something that it's more important and valuable than it really is. I see it all the time. Again, in some cases that's true, but it's hardly "everything." It's barely even "some." Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Um. I have. Many times. Provenance and rarity does not equate value. This is literally Museum Studies 101 stuff.

Really wish people would learn that rarity and provenance does not equate guaranteed value when selling literally anything...

600M's aren't an upgrade, if that's what you're thinking. The only bookshelf I'd take over the RB-5's is the RB-75. $99 was a steal for what you've got. Put a good amp with them and you've got a floorstanding speaker in the form factor of a bookshelf.

Speakers will work with anything given that there's an amplifier. Will it sound good? Maybe. Will it match? Absolutely not. The 5000F's will run right over the rest of your speakers, especially the R-52C. Start your upgrade with your center channel, then look ay other objects.

I hope that wasn't the only reason for parting with them.

If you're on a tight budget, look at used or refurbished. Accessories4Less is a good option. Just make sure you don't hold up on power ratings. Most of them are grossly inflated. Outline your features you want and then if you're having trouble, just holler at us.

AVR's utilized multi-channel audio as far back as the 1990s. I know my RX-V530 from 2002 (my first non HTIB AVR, I was 12) did have 5 channel stereo. AVR's prior to that had a Dolby LCR mode that was marketed as 3-Stereo, but most Yamaha's back to the 390 in 1999 also had multi-channel stereo. You won't need to break bank to do what you're wanting to do at all and any AVR that you get that's worth a damn has the feature built in. Be advised though, you will have a power drop in using multi-channel stereo, it won't pack the punch that stereo mode itself has.

They're on the breadbox board - the originals were to be mated to the terminal cup. I don't see why you couldn't screw them into the cabinet, they have about 4 inches of wire that runs from the XO to the terminal, so you should be able to place them near the terminal.

That was fast.

Hey guys. I am now left with the old crossovers from the pair of Chorus II that I restored for a buddy. They're in good shape, though one of the leads could use a resoldering. I'm asking $75 shipped and PayPal'd for them. They're already boxed up and ready to go. See pic two for the frayed wire.

The jumpers would be where the terminal is. It'd be tied red-to-red, black-to-black. Are you referring to a setting on your amp? Klipsch don't have adjustable impedance.

"Assistant Command Historian History Kid" is a bit of a mouthful, yeah.
