Thanks! Send him some PayPal money to hold them for me till Thursday Not sure if it will work CL people are not known for their integrety

Also looking at a pair in Orlando (about an hour away from me) ... https://orlando.craigslist.org/atq/d/vintage-klipsch-heresy/6582545033.html ... $300 is pretty cheap ... trying to get more pics to see the condition of the cabinets

For everyone's info; discussing purchase + shipping with newbie lerettenick. Anyone in Kansas City who could take a look? Thanks, Emile

Willing to ship them (to Florida)?

Thanks! Cannot hear the effect Cheers, Emile

Just saw amp's speakers are set for 6 ohms ... so not worried ... will try parallel. Comb filter effect; wondering if I'll ever hear it Cheers, Emile

Haha ... as stated "just for fun" ... just to compare the differences Cheers, Emile

Currently use a JVC P-3030 preamp with a VTA ST70 tube amp and sound is very, very good. Before this current setup I used both a Marantz 1060 and a Marantz 2252B on my Forte's. Actually, think both of those sounded just as good Cheers, Emile

Asked Bob Crites about a crossover for this. He said you are building a NEW type of speaker, requiring testing, testing, etc to build a proper xo. See https://critesspeakers.com/frequently-asked-questions.html . Guess this project is "dead."

Thanks! Guess I'm trying to figure out if it is worth the money and time to do this with these driver's. Cheers, Emile

JEEZ ... update. Just got it back from my vintage tech $210 to fix the selector switch and some new caps Hope it's worth it ... but my tech offered me $400 for it

Hi All, Trying to get some inputs/thoughts Was thinking about building a center channel speaker ... mostly because I am constrained by a 7 inch space (and 9 inch deep) under my TV. So; have 2 KG2.5 boxes I do not use ... threads indicate these are pretty decent for center speakers. Also have an R-28F tweeter (think it's 8 ohm) or I could use the K-86-K tweeters from the KG2.5's. So; have 4 x 6 1/2 inch K-1019-S woofers (think they are 4 ohms) and these tweeters. Was thinking about building a box with woofer-woofer-tweeter-woofer-woofer layout. NO clue if I can somehow use the KG2.5 crossovers . Appreciate your inputs! Cheers, Emile

Hi All, Hoping to get some additional advise Have a cheap home theater setup with an Onkyo RZ810, KG3.5's, KG1.5's and a center KV2. (For REAL sound I use my KPT-904's and Cornwall's ... same room but hooked up to seperate amps ) Anyhow, the KV2 center sounds "tiny," but it is the only center that fits nicely under my tv ( an RC-52 might fit, but don't think it will be a great improvement ). Ordered a Bob Crites Ti diaphragm for the KV2 ... maybe that will help. Was shopping on CraigsList and for $60 found another oak KV2 plus a set of KG2.5's. (One can always use more Klipsch speakers ... even inferior KG's.) So (yeah; just for fun) want to try dual KV2 centers. Did some searching and LOVED @Schu's comment, i.e. "Less than optimal... who cares. I am slightly perturbed to think I need to live in a mind set where nothing less than perfection is thought of as being less then human." Yes; understand there are some issues, but many seem to strive for theoretical optimums . Just got the new AVR, so I am a bit hesitant to run the wrong load on it. Parallel yields 4 ohms, Serial 16 ohms. Many opinions stated "don't worry about it." Should I not be concerned? Or should I use a transformer ... if yes; 8 to 16 (edit ... don't think 8-16 is possible) or 8 to 4 ohms? Many, many thanks! Cheers, Emile sample transformer ...

Hey ... what's a measely $200K ... go for it Market was up tremendously today

DARN ... saw the listing and it said "Lakewood." So; was ready to "get them." Unfortunately it was Lakewood, COLORADO ... NOT Lakewood, FLORIDA DARN.

JEEZ ... amazing frequency range for Bose speakers ... Haha. Keeping my KPT-904's Cheers, Emile

Yeah ... got a cheap Teac and a Music Hall MMF. Dreaming about a VPI Prime table, but only play a record once a month ... OK; maybe I'll buy it next week Decide what $$ you want to spend!

Haha ... have fun IMHO they look GREAT right now Cheers, Emile

oops ... yes JVC or Victor ... 3rd glass of vino "corrected"

AWESOME ... pretty jealous ... got KPT-904's a couple of months ago, but the seller also had Jube horns. But ... could not get them "past" my wife

OK; seems the "2 MB" limit has a time constraint. Very nice components ... bass/treble/volume knobs are all "discrete." Anyone familiar with this? Only info I found was $450 in 1978 and specs on hifiengine. Cheers, Emile

OK; got this 1977-80 JVC P-3030 preamp off eBay. Tested it vs my PAT-4 and my neighbors PAS-3. Think it sounds much better, but no clue. Anyone familiar with these? Some more pics in next post

Awesome price! Good luck to Keith

JEEZ ... you LUCKY guy ... how come I never find bargains like that FYI, just picked up a JVC P-3030 preamp. Amazing ... have not hooked it up to my VTA ST70 tube amp, but tested it vs a Dynaco PAT-4 and a PAS-3 ... think it is much better. OK; who knows But you may want to check out some of these earlier preamps Cheers, Emile
