Heard "Louder than Words" on the radio yesterday. I love Floyd but the song is kind of boring.

Why get rid of the Fisher? I once owned a 2250B and on A B testing with my restored 500c was no competition. The Fisher was night and day above the sound the Marantz had.
Of course, I was using a variety of different tubes as well, not the original fisher tubes.
I was wondering the same thing....Why get rid of the Fisher?I already have a HH Scott 222b that has been fully restored that is my main tube amp for critical listening. The Fisher is nice but it does not measure up to the Scott and I only want one tube amp. I would like to get a solid state Marantz like the 2285b for a secondary system in my garage and I don't want to use the Fisher for backround noise. I think the Fisher should be put to better use.

No light beer for me. Why would anyone want to drink watered down beer?

I disagree about the bass on a Cornwall sucking, even out of a Corner. The poster's opinion is like a lone voice in the desert with no power. No reviewer, even those with $30,000 worth of pro measurement gear ever said that the Cornwall bass sucked. Compared to a stack of 6 LAB horns per channel, yes, everything sucks, so I strongly disagree with this ridiculous opinion.
The ones I heard at Klipsch HQ sounded awful, with very muddy bass. The Chorus line, as far as I'm concerned, will kick the Cornwalls to the curb. Much easier room placement, too.

I have had 1979 Cornwalls and Chorus II's. Nothing beats the bass of the Cornwall. Not muddy at all and phenomenal presence. The best speaker to listen at lower volumes. Easy speaker placement. Throw in a corner and toed in... done. In a small room still sounds amazing!
The Chorus II has better midrange than the Cornwall. Better speaker for heavy metal and hard rock for sure. Great and higher volumes pushing alot of power. Speaker placement was a *****. You need a very suitable listening room and not great in a small listening areas if you want to crank it. I enjoyed having both speakers but I'm in love with my Altec 19's.

Fresh Cream US White Label Promo Mono Monarch is the only way to fly!

I love the live version from January 21 or 22, 1975. Bonzo's groove is otherworldly.

Geez. I sold a pair in good cosmetic condition for $400. That clown has that pair way overpriced. I would pay $1,800 for a pair of Klipschorns.

I would settle for a 2275. Used to have one with a wood case but sold it. Kind of regret it.

Looking to buy a Marantz 2285b. I am from the west suburbs of Chicago so a local deal would be nice but I will pay for shipping if I have to. If anybody is interested in a trade, I have a NM Fisher 400 with original wood case and original tubes that plays great. I can provide pics if anyone is interested.
