1996 was the first and only time I had seen and heard Belles in person when they were actually available for sale. The impression they left me still remains. They did not follow me home then, as I was into car audio at the time, and lived in a 600 sq ft. lake cabin. Now I can not help but wonder, should I do what Jill did on the other thread and buy a house they will fit in because they won't fit here now? Actually in all seriousness I could fit them in, but the center channel would need to go. Run with phantom center, Belles front LR with 300 watts each, rears Chorus II with 150 watts each. I could even pay for the Belles with the sale of my Chorus II and Forte II. Not actually sure that is a come-up though, financially, or acoustically. Then there is the challenge of finding a compatible sub. Oh, the first world problems continue.

@wvu80 what have you got on these? Asking you nicely. I may put in a reasonable offer. I do not have an inch of space to put them, and may have to find a new wife, but I am afflicted. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. Never mind, I picked up your spreadsheet on another thread. Thanks again.

That is a very rare offering in this part of the country. I was just talking about Belles yesterday

I will be in Dubuque Iowa Tuesday to make the hand-off. Then I hit the casino!🤑 Funny thing, when I suggested we meet in Dubuque, the buyer told me he was meeting another guy from a town 30 miles away from my home, for the same purpose....the buyer is purchasing a pair of Klipsch Heresy and a pair of SW12 subs from him. Maybe we should car pool.

Sale pending. I hope I do not end up like @wuzzzer

Yamaha and Klipsch? 😝

More pics

SOLD There is some dust that showed up under the lighting. It was not easy to get good photos of black lacquer and still get fine detail to show the condition while keeping the color accurate. The grills are far more black than in the pic though.

That looks like a very nice unit. looks as though it could be very quite while still capable of purifying many cubic feet of space. I love the air purifier I have, especially in the theater room. I hate seeing dust moving around the projector lens. I just leave it run and turn it off when it is movie night.

I completely agree with you. I originally had my "other" speakers in what is now my Klipsch room and in a/b testing I realized that my room needed directivity and not wide dispersion. Most of us have to make some sacrifices because of the rooms we listen in. The Klipsch designers really have done great work in considering the room as a major part the equation. Did I mention I think the cabinet work is freaking awesome.

You got plenty of credibility in my book. Just between you and me, ssshhh don't tell the others, I own and buy more than only Klipsch products. To show my allegiance this coming weekend, Klipsch will be my first stop at the Axpona 2019 audio expo in Chicago, Illinois

Just having fun deciphering the communication breakdown by multiple parties in this thread. Just hoping to lighten things up in here.

@Westcoastdrums

One pair is available.

I am keeping one pair for myself.

I just heard the RP8000F last week and the owner of them choose a Parasound 5250 over Classe and Marantz. The subwoofer was a SVS PB16 Ultra.

Axpona 2019 one week away. I am going to the Klipsch room. I also hope to visit the following Anthem B&W Bryston Cary Audio Classe Emotiva Elac Focal Gik Acoustic Harmon KEF Krell Luxman Madisound Mcintosh Moon Audio Parasound Schiit SVS Triode

https://www.toolshedamps.com/custom-amplifiers Check these out. Would be my local builder if I needed one. They have been used for powering several different klipsch conventions including CES2018. I just got off the phone an hour ago with the owner Matt. Funny thing, he had a local Craigslist ad for a pair of Cornwall III with 70th anniversary grills for sale. When he returned the call we chatted about Roy Delgado, tube power vs SS, and Anthem pre/pro's for multi channnel. Oh, and those CWIII's are walnut in the original box with 500 hours $3K and local pick-up only.
