I'm bustin out the seams and need some space back.

Location? Original box, packing, manual, paperwork? Original owner? Repair history?

Welcome to the forum @lupp5214. I am near Madison. I have used both amplifers at the top of @willland list. I ultimately went with 7 channel 200W external amplification, but that is only because there was a small $200 difference between the 5 and 7 channel amp I chose. 5 channel external was a minimum for me in my 5.1.4 configuration. That's because I limit my AVR to driving 4 channels so it can produce around 100W/C intead of around 75W/C driving 6. Typical AVR's loose about 25W/C for every pair added due to undersized power supplies. Can only fit so much into one chassis. FWIW my 5 channel base is set to large in Audyssey so my sub is only handling LFE most of the time.

Like these?

FWIW my Denon x6200W has 2 internal fans that are factory set to turn on when the unit reaches 158 degrees F. That has never happened in my unit. Apparently D&M feel that the electrical components they choose have a high enough thermal threshold that active cooling is not necessary. Having active fans running does cause some noise output, therefore making the sound to noise ratio a moot point as there will be a louder ambient sound from the fans than there is from the speakers when idle.

I don't do facebook, so can't comment on that thread. I could see that type of discussion providing motivation for anyone to pull a pair out from the hoard though. Could be the same guy, but I do not know how the one I posted gets his pricing. These are $950, and average pairs would be average looking and average price at like $450 or whatever. The thing is find another museum piece then find it for less money. Like I said before, only true collectors need apply. I am not in that group.

@wvu80 I don't know who posts stuff where, or what other usernames they would have at potential other locations. I doubt that is the case here though. This guy seems like he gets something out from the hoard and usually posts it for sale on CL immediately, then takes pics later. He posted this one 8 days ago. Maybe someone else can advise.

https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/ele/d/milwaukee-rare-klipsch-model-h700/6842652786.html No photos now, but If someone really wants to buy them I can contact the seller for you and ask for more information. I think the price is sky high, but I know this seller as being a local source for NOS electronics dating back 40+ years. If he says museum quality, covered in a back bedroom, he is telling the truth. He bought everything, stored it, now decades later, it is all getting sold as he peels back the layers of his collection. He usually has very low serial #'s. He also has some very high prices on the hard to find stuff. Low prices on the common stuff. Only true collectors need apply for this one.

Nice. What are your plans? Have you been there before?

@JefDC If you have a problem with your equipment, please do not recommend to others to go against the advice of other professionals because you had some isolated faulty equipment problems. All common speakers designs dip below 8ohm (even dip below 4ohm) at various frequencies, typically lower ones. 8 ohm is an average, not lowest. If you are using Klipsch speakers, with their higher sensitivity ratings, lower power usage, and your gear is dying, I would recommend repairs, or new gear. I own the Denon x4400h and x6200w. I have powered 9 full range floor speakers with each Denon I own running both Klipsch and JBL. I never changed either setting eco or ohm. Never died. The owner of the website I linked to above is the author and trusted advisor. I trust his advice. OK I am out of this thread. Let the flames begin. I appologize for sounding blunt. Just trying to help the larger group here get the best possible outcome from their perfectly fine working equipment that just need a little help cooling inside of cabinets.

Any votes for Cornwall IV? I see it happening one day. I think Chorus III will not happen though unfortunately, regardless of popularity.

From Audiohaulics.com Eco Mode - Avoid like the Plague! As much as I am in favor of conserving resources and reducing my carbon footprint on this planet, running Eco mode on your AV receiver isn't going to slow the rising ocean levels or lower the acidity of our oceans. Instead, it's going to starve your speakers of power. With Eco mode engaged, it limited power on the bench to 20 watts/ch no matter how many channels were driven. This is worse than the dreaded 4-ohm impedance switch many receiver companies are using today. Make triple sure you NEVER set this receiver to Eco if you plan on using the internal amplifiers. I'd go so far as to omit the button from the remote control in case someone accidentally hits it and engages that mode. Caution: No matter how tempted you may be to do so, DO NOT change the default "8 ohm min" impedance setting of ANY AV receiver. All this does is starve your speakers of power, simply so Denon could get 4-ohm certification (at a reduced power level) without making the receiver get too hot during their power tests. I hope this helps. Here is the link to the authors page. https://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/denon-avr-x3300w-1/menu

LOL, I am getting the same type responses too. Reminds me of this https://youtu.be/MkIyd3FELos

That's how I got in the mess I'm in with speakers all aver the place, LOL 😉

Range of $450-$750 not including extremes. Condition dictates final. You can always wait longer. If you really are interested, you should be having discussions with him. Ask him questions. I personally would want history and many quality pics.

Yeah, that reminds me of how much longer my parents keep what they have, use what they got.

I got it set up at my fathers house now. He is going to take some time to decide. I did not get the audiophile gene from him LOL.

They are back again. I inserted the new link above. Sale must have fell through or something. No price drop though. I do think the asking price is high, however someone interested could still make a realistic offer.

Accessories and original manual on cd

I will be attending the convention myself. I am hoping to meet up with some forum members while I am there room hoping. I will be bringing a pair of JBL L100T3 speakers with me for a parking lot sale (pending) I have set up with a fine gentleman from Ohio. Believe me that kind of thing happens everyday in Chi-town.

I fully endorse this message. As a previous owner myself of the the Carver AV 806X I can assure you of its quality, function, and flexibility. I loved it on my Forte II's. I sold mine for the same amount as the post above, and that guy drove 650 miles to get it to avoid shipping. Bonus: You can get it fully rebuilt by a several guys who have specialized in Carver for years and still remain in your original budget.

New in stock https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15594 Not in stock https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15593 ATI OEM. Basically equivelant to ATI 2003, 2005. Not having 100% of the internals the same may make a difference, but I don't know that myself. At least they are new with 5 year warranty and meet your requirements.
