  1. @Dac6125 I just crammed my Heresy ii into my living room cabinets. There is definitely a slight loss in imaging as opposed to sitting out in front of the cabinets, but I (&wife) didn’t want them sitting in the floor. There are mainly there to provide low volume enjoyment and they do that just fine. I know it looks a bit bare above the gear

    (new house). Still planning to add shelves in the upper sections of the cubbies.

  2. @joeward, definitely enjoy the Belles for now, but when you get the motivation to do some tinkering…go bi/tri/amp and active with the crossover. It was a steep learning curve for a non-tech minded person like myself, but getting them even close to dialed in made them sound so much better than they did with passive alone. I thought the bass was non existent and midrange had some nasty sounding areas. They just sounded very boxy and distorted. The active crossover really improved all of this. In the end I did sell them as I just liked the simplicity of preamp and monoblocks on my chorus II. And my old McIntosh tube preamp does not match with the ss amp I was using on the bass bins and I just can’t give up that preamp.  But boy the Belles are much better to look at than my Chorus.

  3. In my experience, Cornwall 1 produce substantial bass at any volume. Maybe slightly “Loose”. I think my chorusii produce plenty of bass at any volume also, but a bit “tighter”. However the chorus ii really take some effort with placement and they sounded pretty terrible in my room until I got some acoustic treatments. 

  4. You’re right there isn’t a B&C ct-125, There is a ct-125 and a lot of guys had used it in to replace of the k-77, I was unsure if it could also be used in place of k-79 with appropriate horn lens. I’m pretty confident you knew what the ct-125 is, sorry for mixing up a few letters and not being pinpoint exact, I’ll make sure I have all my t’s crossed and I’s dotted before asking another question.   I have my answer from others and it is no it won’t work. I apologize @dtr20 for jumping on your thread.

    I think many here would agree, a chorus III is absolutely needed.... 

    I agree, but by the time they get here and the quarterly price increases they should be right around $10k…so I’m out! 🤨 

    joking of course..well, half joking. 

  6. I definitely don’t see them getting that price, I may be wrong as people are asking $1000+ for heresy now. Heresy definitely can fit in a lot more rooms without taking up a ridiculous amount of floor space(waf) which I assume helps their value some, but geez!

  7.  This is a really nice sounding 7591 amp, it looks to be all original. Tubes are a mixed bag of vintage, some rca, Eico, Ge etc.. I took this in trade recently and just want to move it along as I have a handful of vintage tube amps. The previous owner has had it for a few years, he is some what of a electronics tinkerer, so he knew to bring it up on a variac before use. I’m no technician but I don’t see any signs of cap leakage or anything that looks burnt etc… would need the typical loudness mod done, but works and sounds great without this engaged. Hooked up to Heresys and nothing seems off or scratchy and no hum or buzz, which surprised me. I don’t want to ship at this point, but if you have serious interest message me and we can discuss it…she’s heavy! Located in Chattanooga Tn. I can email a short video of it playing if interested.

  8. Honestly I’m just confusing myself with rew. I run the test get my graph, but really don’t know what to do from there to improve things with the eq. So many numbers, adjustments, levels and things I have no clue what they do. I try to find the ideal spot to flatten things out and match that. Sometimes it’ll let me and sometimes it tells me that the level is off by more than 10dbs. Guess It’ll just take a lot of trial and error to find out what I'm doing. 
     

    reading thru another post from @Chris A on using rew he talks about a house curve, I found the spot for it in preferences but I don’t know where the house curve data comes from. I need to select a file  but where do I get that file from?
