  1. I would offer $200 and settle at $250.  The 35's aren't common, but generally can be had in decent shape between 300-500.  The condition and need has me pitching the ball lower on this one. $300 is fair - it's just not really a "great" deal - nothing I'd jump on in a hurry.

    But for a couple months, we will just call you freezing in Iowa

    The room with my HOO's was 21 F this morning.  It's up to 50 F right now, but this cold is something else.  It doesn't help that there's a whole second half of the house that isn't original and they never ran central heat to it.

     

    Meanwhile the rest of the house is toasty at 70.

     

    Heading down to -30 tonight with -60 wind chills.

    You move that fancy new washer and dryer out of the house and you'll have room! 

     

    At least that's what I would have done when I was your age.  :rolleyes:

    Hey, how much longer until we need to start calling you Dr. History Kid?

     

    You get to call me Professor in 8 months.  You get to call me Dr. in 2 more years. ;)

    repeat

    How do I hatefully dislike a post?

    You were probably halfway to a pair of Cornwall III's before you figured out your clothes needing washing.  :ohmy:
     
    Welcome to adulthood!    :emotion-21:  :emotion-19:
    Not new anyway. No place for them. Lol

    Besides, at this point it's just preparing for when the house is mine.
  5. My Denon 4200 is running 4 RS-3's - that's about it.  That being said, it's probably kicking out somewhere between 75-95 WPC.  It's more than enough for the rear.  That being said, unless you get an amp that can match at 90 WPC or better, with that setup - I probably wouldn't worry about it too much.  Are you mainly going for a compacted HT setup?

  6. OP, in the future - do not utilize A4L's support.

     

    These are units refurbished by the manufacturer and carry manufacturer warranties and support.  You should (in the future, if there is another purchase) contact Yamaha.  They will handle the issue.  I am speaking from experience.  A4L is a third party, and once the transaction is complete, you should take up issues with the manufacturer.

  7. To add to wuzzzer's comment, 5.1's side surround schematic generally calls for WDST or other multi-pole speaker configurations, meaning that you'd be better off getting a speaker designed for surround duty rather than a monitor.  You want a broad dispersion of sound on the sides.

    klipsch will sell the passive for the forte 3 & its been said they will "work" ok.  they look different & are a different cone material, but if you cant find originals & dont have cores to recone that may be the only option...

    Thanks.

     

    Can anyone else here echo this?  If they were mine, I'd have no problems with this, but since they're a friend's I'd like to be sure.

  9. Updated, see below...

    Alright folks...

     

    I have tried Klipsch and a few other places and have come up empty handed.

     

    I am in the need of a pair of Chorus II woofers. Klipsch doesn't stock them anymore, and I can't seem to find a replacement. Anyone got any tips on where I can track down replacements? Surely there has to be something out there.

     

  10. That's the going rate for them, and I wouldn't buy one used.

     

    The Switch is the best option for family friendly content - as it's Nintendo's primary demographic.  It's also good if you want to have a good solid portable gaming device.  Beats the hell out of a phone.  I've toyed with getting one, but I barely have enough time to use my Playstations these days.

    plus at 150 watts per channel...... not a lot of high power 5 channel amp come up for sale. 

    This has to be satire.  Although a poor attempt at one.

     

    You can literally buy new from a manufacturer for just over a quarter of the price the same power.  For half the price, triple the power.
