  1. Here the state of my crossovers... Very little rust on the transformers for their age Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I will probably buy the caps and experiment with them later on. They are at least 35 years old and according to Klipsch & everyone here that's all I'll need to replace. So I won't change the crossovers except for the caps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Thanks I'll definitely go check them out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Thanks that's what I wanted to hear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Is this a D-class power amp? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. As this very minute I don't have an amplifier to even experiment with. I'm just getting into high end stereo with this being my first purchase. I had to start somewhere [emoji23]. I decided to go Klipsch Heritage because of my previous Klipsch experience has been excellent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Thank you. I am experiencing amplifier overload lol [emoji3]. Who on this forum has heard Luxman? The Luxman 590Axii is about 30W per channel. Perfect but who know what it will sound like.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I enjoy a wealth of music genres. I am 32 years old and typically listen to modern music but often revert to the likes of simon & garfunkel or eagles. My wife loves dance music..she is 31. So i guess its not typical audiophile music. This setup will be 2channel dedicated for music. I have Klipsch Reference II HT setup. Music sources are digital. Currently my Marantz 7005 is networked to my computer via ethernet to play music direct from the computer. I also have some blu-ray with live performances like Adel & Kings of leon. (You can see I listen to anything) For this new 2ch system (in a different room) I want a high quality amp/pre amp or integrated that can play music from a laptop or other digital source. When we picked up the Belle's Sunday the audiophile's son auditioned some of his modern music off Spotify streaming app through Macintosh SS and it sounded very good playing through the Belle's [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I guess I'll just refresh the caps on the type AA crossover and then focus on the room. How will I know if the other components on the crossovers are good? Speaker sound just fine...so I guess that good enough test? So everyone is in the know I am new to high end audio. These are my first quality pair. That should explain why I don't have a amplifier for it yet. I really do a lot of research before buying anything. The the listening room/area is going to be a lot of trial&error I guess. (Because I am so new to this) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Ohh I've seen that clarity cap shell logo somewhere....I just went back to the ALK crossover pictures and there it was. The shell logo...thanks for the link. Just to add to all this I haven't even bought an amplifier yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Seems you are correct the ES500 is 2 way only. Thats one expensive crossover. I'd probably spend the money if it makes a huge difference....but I'm relying on what people tell me. The chances of me listening to la scala or belle with these crossovers are slim. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Thanks I'll use the Watco. Soldering is not a problem so I'll go online to order some caps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I picked up mint Belle's this weekend. All original & I will be the second owner. They have type AA crossovers indicating they we're manufactured prior 1983? (Correct me if I am wrong) I have two questions for all of you. 1. The one speaker top is a little dry and needs some TLC. I called klipsch & they said I could use Watco rejuvenating oil. Could you guys confirm this will be ok to use? Any other recommendations to treat the veneer? 2. I will need the crossovers restored or replaced. I know there are few options like Crites/Alk or Freeman Tuell. Recommendations here please. The ALK engineering extreme slope crossovers ES500 are over $900. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Yes please let us know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I am very surprised with these F3 statements here. I am going to have to re-think plan on getting RF7ii's. I was going to get RF7ii's to replace my HT fronts, but they'll have their own stereo amp (with HT bypass). So my HT front will have double duty. You guys are just complicating my life [emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Very good looking system Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Why change on such an amazing system? All the work & upgrades that went into it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Will do thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Yes same guy. He also has a that black piano listed for 23k which I am sure a collector will jump on. I was almost sold on the Forte iii's but got a good deal on the Belle's and thought if I'm going Heritage might as well go full horn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Thanks I will post few pictures as well. I'm new to Klipsch Heritage. It'll be my 1ste pair. I still have to buy a dedicated amplifier.....I have been searching hi/lo and am still unsure on what to get. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Ok let me know. I'll see what I can do. Picking up some mint Belle's in PA this weekend...opposite direction lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I have to pick up Belle's this weekend (13h round trip). But who's to say I can't make a plan lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I would if it wasn't such a far drive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Cayin e-mailed me offering to make me a 110V version. There's one on amazon? Huhh didn't come across that one. Either way it'll have to be ordered from Cayin to get the correct voltage. Comparing Primaluna's top model with the Cayin M52T they seem to have identical features. So I'm in two minds - Primaluna offers local support. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Well good at least its almost home. I got a quote for Cayin M-52T MKii amp direct from China as thats not a US model. I am in two minds if it's a safe purchase. I could get aYaqin but I just like the look of the Cayin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
