  1. In 2004 I had very unpleasant results with a $1500 (adjusted for inflation) Yamaha AVR when combined with extended heritage. Times have changed, but not for the better I am afraid on anything non flagship. Oh, and if you want that receiver, I will sell it to you for $100. Makes for a piss pounding JBL garage system.

     

    Just find something to get by with for now, then go with Denon or Marantz after August when the prices are 55% of MSRP.

  2. I know there is a forum for those dedicated to the format. http://www.tapeheads.net/

    I had all 100+ of my cassette tapes stolen out of my car many years ago. The thieves used a crowbar and peeled the door open. Been on CD ever since.

    Also, I did recently acquire and subsequently sell a very nice tape deck though. 1980 Aiwa AD-770 3 head in the original box. Got $212 for it. Never got to hear it, cause I have no tapes.

  3. Late, but posting anyway

    $500 is top market price. I have sold, and seen other sold for that.

    The midrange is lacking.

    KLF-30 solves that for a substantial increase in price. Also harder to find.

    As always, buy it now, before it is gone

    Sell it later when you find something better

    rinse

    repeat

  4. Quick reply while I think about this. Definitely going to want to split your budget among 3 speakers. LCR. You quintets are going to perform much better in surround than they ever did as fronts. You want to match timbre for panning across the front. Where are you located? Are you ok with good conditioned used to double or triple your purchasing power? I will try to help you find something.

  5. Seller says "Last ditch effort" and is asking $7500 on the other forum. He has not listed them on our forum, but not because he does not welcome the attention. Private party, use discretion. I know this pair is original owner. Also not those internet sold pairs. If you are interested you would do well to communicate with the seller immediately.

  6. No longer available. Listing is deleted now. Very surprised they moved so quickly for several reasons. Fairly low population density area of the country. Challenging logistics of moving them. Priced just high enough. I wonder if they are actually sold. I researched enough on them to make a qualified decision. Oh well, my wife will happy to hear the news. :rolleyes:

  7. Sorry I am off topic a little. Hope you don't mind the post.

    So yeah, I am completely confident the QSC PLX 1104 will handle anything you can ask of it.

    @314carpenter, you pursuing these? if so, good luck!

    They're even Walnut.

    @Rivernuggets , want to come team up for a listening session? Help me decide? 

     

    Contact to the seller will not occur until after I return from my trip to Dubuque Iowa in a 3 person, 3 city, Klipsch gear parking lot swap by Diamond Joe's Casino. One lucky guy gets it all. Not me, I am in it for the cash.

     

    From what I have read so far...LaScala is  prefered, but the difference is marginal, and I do not have the floor space for the depth of a LaScala. Belle is the go to when depth is a concern. I measured and I may have 2" to spare if I place one Belle shoved into the corner. The other end is open on a 30' wall, but feng shui says to keep everything centered of the TV which is centered and mounted perfectly with the cathedral. No, I am not putting more anchor holes in my walls.

     

    Other choice is to split Belles with a forum member and use one for my center, since I have had no luck on those Chorus II walnut. Either way it would be weird for home theater with the timbre between Chorus II and Belle. 🤔

     

    Currently there is 34" between the right side wall and the right side of the right hand AV rack in the picture below.
