What do they do or what does it imply when it's refurbished? I've tried selling them(even though I hate to) and have had no luck. I can't spend anymore cause wife/budget.

Something in the price range of $600. I also have a pair of kg4's available. If interested in trade plus cash.

I have a Yamaha rx v677 receiver. I'm pretty happy with sound and I listen to music all the time. I also have the RP 280f and I do know my receiver pumps about 90w per channel but we all know that's not always accurate. The towers handle 150w/600w so I've been looking into emotiva xpa-200. Claims of 150w per channel. Two channel driven. So I was looking into some input since I plan to bi amp and send more power to towers. Thing is I'm not sure if to hook bottom post to emotiva amp or top post to amp. Low being the woofers and top the highs.
I received and hooked up my Yamaha A-S501 today. It replaced a Denon DRA697ci. The sound quality of the Yamaha is so much better than the Denon. I don't know if it is a fluke, but the Denon was like listening through a closed window. The sound difference blew me away. I really thought that you couldn't go wrong with Denon, but that DRA 697 sucks. It is lifeless on the high and lows; and congested in the mid range. I couldn't stand to listen to my new RP280's until today. I would like to thank Willland for recommending the Yamaha.

Wow nice description. I see things a lot clearer lol. Never thought of it like that. Appreciate it.
Is that enough power for them?
That all depends on you. Your speakers are 94db w/ 1 watt of power at 1 meter away. To gain 3db you need to double your power. So for 97db you need 2 watts, for 100db 4 watts, 103db 8 watts, 106db 16 watts, 109db 32 watts.
A jackhammer from 1 meter away is 100db to put things into perspective.

How do you hook these up and play content/music. Is it like an AV receiver. Any info is appreciated.

Does the upgrade to H3 parts make a noticeable difference? I'm also hoping deep inside these don't sell lol. Doing it for wife. Since I already have a lot of speakers and she's not a fan. My mains are kg 4's and I love them. Heresy's are a lot brighter but great for music.
Noticeable to me. Better balances and better bass. Less bright.
How much $$$ did you dish out? For the upgrade.

I've noticed some people have tube amps it's 25wpc. Most speakers say about 100 rms. Is that enough power for them? I could buy a small tube for a 2 channel set up. While I get more familiar. If that's the case.

I asked this question about a year ago before purchasing tubes myself.
1. Yes you can use tubes for HT, but it will be very expensive.
2. If you do use tubes for HT and use it several hours a day, you'll potentially shorten their life and have to spend more on them as you go.
3. The potential for them to "lack" and keep up with everything that a SS amp can with all the bass response and surround stuff makes them again, more of a potential money grabber.
4. You need to spend a boatload of money to find one that can give the output that a SS amp can (reference levels), and then multiply that cost times 3 as you'll need 3 amps if doing a 5.1 set up,
5.Tube amps tend to lack in bass, but enhance mids and highs, and some tube amps flat out state they are not good with certain types of music, now take that into the HT side where action movies are, and tubes may also lack there.
Now if you have thousands of dollars that you can use as passive income, you can find amps that will do the opposite of what I just typed.
Sounds like I'm going to keep my AV receiver in the living room. Def don't have that much money lol. I'll definitely keep Learning as I go. When I feel comfortable the I'll consider buying one. Appreciate the input!

Light oak I believe. Box don't say and I I've never been good at telling wood apart. I tried posting more pics but it won't let me because of file size.

Hello,
I've been hearing a lot about tubes and how good they work with klipsch speakers. If something wouldn't mind explaining what is a tube amp and how does it work compared to an AV receiver(which I have now) powering my kg4's. I'm really interesting in knowing so I can buy something good and know how it works. I'm pretty clueless honestly. Can I use for home theater?

A pair in really good condition. No shipping of course. Located in Delaware and willing to drive within reason. Asking $500 or decent offers.
-
How do those things work and why are they so expensive? I'm not familiar with tube amps as you can see.
-
I would buy this in a heartbeat but I live In an apartment complex and im limited to certain volumes lol. I think my neighbors are pissed already when they hear me thumping and well another sub will just get me kicked out lol.

How much for the sub?
Looking for a used Yamaha Rx A1050 receiver.
in Garage Sale

prices are pretty good. I have a dilemma though. Which is that Im still trying to figure out which receiver I want. it's between the Rx A850 or Rx A1050. I did some research and the only noticeable difference between them is the Music chip. 850 has Burr brown and 1050 has the ESS technology. I listen to music everyday and for long time. I currently have the Rx V677 and its s good receiver. Reason I'm upgrading is that i'd like to have the pre outs. I have the Klipsch RP system. Im also interested in the Music cast these new receivers offer. Any one know or are familiar with the music Chip or Dacs these receiver have. This is the only thing holding me back from purchasing the RX A850.
