  1. Welcome to the Forum! Awesome setup! Thanks for the comparison. Good to know how powerful & efficient the CF3s are. Nice job of the stands, I currently have mine on dollies. lol V_O_R
  2. Thanks for the input, as of right now I can only setup via unbalanaced (RCA) since it will be connected to my Pioneer Elite receiver and does not offer XLR components. I have a feeling, I'm now gonna want to upgrade my receiver to a better DAC decoding lol 😅 V_O_R
  3. Just an update on my journey for a power amp to drive my CF3s... After speaking with a local seller (for over a month), I managed to get a like-new EMOTIVA XPA-2 (Gen1) 2 Channel Audiophile Power Amplifier for $600 🤑 *Power Output: 250 Watts x 2 into 8 Ohms Original box and manual included. This is my 1st high-end power amp, so doing some research on how everything should be setup. Any suggestions or experience with EMOTIVAs? Nevertheless, I'm sure this will push the Epic CF3s to the max! 🤩 V_O_R
  4. Nice stands! Very modern looking. Any significant listening difference? I felt the same way when I tried tilting them, as if there was some wavelengths shooting over me. So just have mine on leveled dollies at ear-level, currently. V_O_R
  5. I'm currently in talks with a seller for a B&K EX4420, but this Carver M-1.5t was just listed for $300 (I'm currently trying to get additional pictures for overall condition of amp) Looks like this Carver amp pumps out 350w continuous Are these two very similar or very different amps? I've been doing some light research and it seems a lot of Carver owners also pair the amp with a C1 pre-amp. I also saw that some people have stated Carver amp tend to have reliability issues and send their equipment for repair to Carver Audio repair. Will it just be easier to get the B&K for a slightly higher price than deal with the potential of having problems and repair services of the more aged-Carver M-1.5t amp? Sorry for all the questions, but I really appreciate everyone's input! V_O_R
  6. Thanks for looking this up @Shiva! Yeah I've been talking back and forth with seller. He seems reluctant to actually sell it, lol Keep y'all updated if I end up picking it up! V_O_R
  7. I'm so sorry for your loss man. Haha I hope to live that long and still have that energy! I thank him for his service. Cheers! V_O_R
  8. ...your Grandfather was a very wise man. V_O_R
  9. Yes, thanks to you all I've learned that since the EPICs are pretty sensitive, not much Watts is needed to make them move walls. lol Thanks for your input @Oicu812! Do you think that is a fair price? V_O_R
  10. How's it going guys? I'm still on the hunt for a deal on a good amp. I found this one on CL. What do y'all think? I believe the ex4420 does 200w @8ohms. Thanks in advance! V_O_R
  11. Yeah I offered him $700 but he said the whole "I bought these for $2K a piece, back in the day" bit...and is gonna try and sell them for $800 each on reverb. I was trying to tell him, the shipping cost alone will eat from his profit and would be easier to just sell to me, in person. He said he'll think about it, lol. So we'll see. Keep ya updated. Pretty pleased what I'm hearing from the CF3s right now though, so I don't mind waiting a lil longer before getting an amp. V_O_R
  12. Sounds like a nice warm setup you got there @_rod_serling_! Some time in the future, when I switch my setup to a 2-channel exclusively for music, I would like to get a tube amp. I'm also starting to see a common agreement that since the CF3s are sensitive, there really isn't much need for a lot of power to drive them, which is nice to know & reassuring! V_O_R
  13. Well, apparently the guy has 2 Rotel 1090s but has listed his whole setup (Rotel am fm, Rotel tuner. Rotel cd player) and does not want to sell separately. So might be hard getting him to sell me 1 of his 1090s. However, he's listed the whole setup for $1900 which i think is a huge deal when considering the 2 Rotel 1090s. Rotel Setup Facebook Listing ...maybe I should just buy everything, lol V_O_R
  14. Thanks for the input @Zack R, that's good to know. I think for now, what I have powering the CF3s (Pioneer Elite) is good for the space I'm in. However, if I come across a too good of a deal to pass up on an Amp, I'll prolly pull the trigger. Unless, I move to a bigger room, which I'm pretty sure the Wife will not allow. lol V_O_R
  15. I'm currently in talks with someone, possibly buying his Rotel RB1090. Looks like it was on a rack its entire life and seems to be in great shape. What would be a decent price to ask for it? V_O_R
