Bottom line, the few dbx encoded discs that I owned once upon a time sounded GREAT! I had a Technics cassette deck that had a decoder built in, and could play the records through that via the tape loop on my preamp.
Those discs, and that tape deck are long gone, sadly.

Craig: Glad to hear your dad is on the road to recovery. God speed!

I'd go back in and let the sales person know that you'll buy at $1600 (or whatever price you think is fair) and no higher. Then walk out if they do not give you your price. There are plenty of sources for RF-7's, and you need not deal with just one vendor.
Hell, you could probably get a used pair shipped to you for less than that.
-
I dunno. I think they look pretty sweet. I can't imagine that they will be head and shoulders above the RF-7, but I'm sure some would look at that third woof and consider the possibility that maybe Klipsch responded to the one niggling concern about the RF-7: a audible dip in the mid-frequencies.

Problem is, lawyers like you that can't or won't separate your personal convictions from factual observations end up getting appointed to the federal bench where they promptly start substituting their personal convictions for factual observations, creating the mess we have now.
Uh oh.....!
I agree that we need not carry on the tax discussion in 2 channel. However, I'm always up for a good tax debate. Lets crank it back up in the General Forum.

That model Yamaha is a Home Theater receiver. This is the two
channel forum. Not that your post is unwelcome here, but to be
clear, if your goal is top flight 2 channel sound, it is unlikely your
desired results will not be achieved with a typical home theater
receiver. I owned an RS XV620 for a while. Good for HT, not
my cup of tea for music, however.
OTOH, some 2 channel fans have had alot of good things to say about the
latest generation of "digitally amplified" Panasonic receivers.
These receivers are relatively inexpensive, and can produce good
results with speakers like the KLF-20. The key is the "digital
amp", and the "warm" sound at low output that it is capable of.
It might be an option if you've got room for only one system that must
do double duty for both HT and 2 Channel. Inserting the
KLF-20's into an existiing system that would not use matching Klipsch
center and rear channels would produce matching and leveling/balancing
issues, since the 20's are so efficient.
If you're buying the KLF-20's to build a good 2 channel system around,
it would be a good ideal to do a seach on the forum to see what other
members have had success with.

Screw the amp. Just plug your K-horns into the wall AC socket.

Folks - I hope by now you all know a troll when you see one. In
fact, you don't need to be liberal, conservative, a bad poet, or have
poor command of grammar or sentence structure to spot one!

If your ears tell you that you're enjoying what you hear, who cares if
someone else chooses to stay blissfully uninformed. Wish them a
happy new year, too! [

OK, I'll throw in. Here are my daughters at a Christmas
party. Megan is on the left, with Ava on Santa's right knee and
Erin on his left knee.

No tone controls on my integrated amp.

Echowars is the screen name, aka Glenn McDonald. Truck on over to
Audiokarma.org, and do a search on his screen name. You'll get
the picture quickly that he works on a lot of SS gear, and lots of
folks really like his work. For me, he's worked on an Adcom 535
and an old Sansui 9090. Both sounded and performed better once
they came back from Glenn.
There are other tech-types over at AK that work on SS gear, so even if
you and Echo can't come to terms, there are others that you might also
check out.

If you don't sell it I am still here waiting for pictures.
OK, I've resent the email, and I'm posting pics here for good measure!
-
Wow, I'm surprised. I sent the pics to you the same day that you PM'd me with your email address. When I didn't hear back I just assumed you changed your mind.
I'll go resend the pics tonight when I get home. Sorry about that, not sure why you didn't get them!
-
PM me with your shipping info and let me see what might be involved in getting this shipped to you.
-
That's a beautiful piece. Congrats on the outcome of your hard work.

Where overseas?

I do. Could you PM me with you email address?

Not seeing the image. Can you try to repost?

Now i know I may get flamed for this...but a new technics 1200 mkII is $400....its an amazing table for the money...speed is perfect, it weighs 26 pounds...i'd put it up against any table under$1000 period.
No flames from me. I'm running the original 1200. Found it cheap for $100 with cartridge. Liked it better than the Thorens table I was running. A new 1200 would be a nice table, but I don't see a need to buy new. Lots of good condition 1200's on the used market, and since they're built to take a beating, I wouldn't really worry about buying used from a reputable seller.
Besides, why spend your whole budget on a vinyl test drive. You might get back into vinyl and find out it makes you crazy cleaning records, and flipping them over every 15 - 20 minutes. Save your money now, and you can always splurge later if you decide to stick with it. Which, of course is another good reason to pick the 1200 as your starter table; no problems reselling/getting your money back out of it if you decide to upgrade, or get out of vinyl.
But, if you decide to stick with it vinyl, I could also see sticking with the 1200 for a nice long time!

Suggestions for speakers for my dad!

You guys are reccommending Hertiage Klipsch to go with a 15 year old Panasonic receiver? Seems to me that would not be the best combo.
Now, if you can find a pair of Heresy's for around $400, use the remaining $200 to pick up a new Panny digital receiver. That might be a much better combo. This assumes dad is not spinning as much vinyl these days. If he is, then maybe hold out for a HK 430 or 730 receiver to replace the Panny.
