  1. Thank you! @moray james Bob did send me instructions on how to swap them, I think it's actually on his website (pictures/step-by-step). But a video always helps too.
  2. That's what it seems - the more I look into, it's something that can be done in 15 minutes or so. I'm just leery because of how delicate the diaphragm is. I appreciate the feedback, though. Glad it's really easy. I'm really enjoying the KLF-30s. Unfortunately I don't have a big room (roughly 11'6" by 14'), but I think now they're about a foot away from the wall... and the position isn't permanent yet. I'll play with that as well as toe-in, since now they're at around a 25 degree angle (Dolby guidelines say 22-30). Hi Tim. I'm using an older Integra receiver, THX certified and all that stuff. Supposedly it puts out a solid 100w/channel, but I do plan to have a separate amp for my front three. I used to have an Emotiva amp and it was good. Considering these KLF-30 have a sensitivity of 102 dB/w/m, at least on paper, I haven't felt like I need more... at least for now. I'm sorry, did you say eight?! That's awesome! Part of me would like to move them into our living room for a 2-channel setup, but I have my Heresies there now. No worries, Billy. Just thought about you since you're local, but I'm likely overthinking this.
  3. Just ordered Crites' titanium diaphragms ! Hopefully I won't screw up these monsters (with me not being able to install) @TasDom I will buy you a beer if you have experience with this

    Jokes?

    I asked my Welsh friend how many sexual partners he's had. He started counting, but he fell asleep.
  5. I personally don't have a 4K TV, so do some more research... I think your current HDMI will not work because of the bandwidth, and the amount of data they can send through. This seems helpful: https://www.techhive.com/article/3330376/do-i-need-a-4k-hdmi-cable.html
  6. Wouldn't a simple rule clear up most, if not all, listings on the Garage Sale section? I've used Swappa for a new phone and reddit exchange for AV accessories. Both places require you to "prove" that you're not a scammer. Whoever is posting something here for sale (not alert section) should provide a picture with today's date and username. Simple, yet effective. P.S.: That's a good staple of mine and it is not for sale, please don't PM offers.
  7. That's a really cute dog. Welcome to the forum and GLWS.
  8. You do not have to buy another amp (or a receiver/preamp as expensive as the AV8805/7705 he tried to sell ya ). You can certainly use the x4400 internal amps to power the rear, sides, and heights. Audioquest makes nice stuff but are pricey. Look into Blue Jeans Cable if you'd like. I'd say just enjoy what you have now. A PB13, XPA3 and RF7/RC64 combo will put a huge grin on your face.
  9. @nmorris43 Yes, I would start a new thread and people should be able to point you in the right direction. Or at least be opinionated about it! This thread had potential... only to have the guy say "Thanks, I found what I needed" and disappeared. Good luck!
  10. You know the saying... pictures or it didn't happen! Congrats on the La Scalas! I'm sure they sound wonderful
  11. It's similar to that Belle that one of the members here has for sale.
  12. Holy thread resurrection, Batman! 17 years! For sturdy, cheap stands, I would go with this one: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=12281 I think they're 24" tall, FYI.
  13. Supposedly "SURPRISE2" works on most orders over $500 example: Monolith 15" subwoofer is $1,039.99, when normally it's $1,299 + shipping
  14. Whether the KV3 will stay or be swapped is still a question. Haven’t been able to watch a movie, but listening to music and just enjoying the KLF30s. I should have more time over the weekend, so I’m pretty excited!
  15. Yeah, I got lucky. The little we listened to them last night was enough for her to tell me that if they go in the living room (despite looking big) it's alllll good. She was enjoying the sound coming out of them and smiling beautifully, while I was grinning like a teenager and I was smiling like a hipster doofus. She already called the speakers the "little mammoths" and said I need to set them up tonight so we can listen to some music after dinner. I don't have facebook, so I will have to keep an eye out somewhere else. I will absolutely take pictures!
  16. The KLF-30s have a new home! I met with the lady and husband selling both the KLF-30s and the KV3 at their house yesterday after work, and I brought my wife with me for an extra pair of hands (and because she's slowly getting into this speaker mad world we nutsos live in). It was actually kind of sad that she had to let go of the speakers. The husband developed a pulmonary disease and has to move to a new city. Considering these speakers are big and cumbersome to move, she decided not to take them. Her son gave her a soundbar and she told me "that thing isn't nearly as cool or sound as good as one of these two!". For a craigslist experience, this went incredibly well. The few things that really stood out in my opinion, specially for speakers that are 20 years old (?): The amount of dog hair on and around them wasn't as bad as my wife made it seem, but it gave her an allergy attack for a couple of hours. Oops!; No broken pegs. Not a single one; Badges, tags, binding posts, feet and whatnot: all still there; Although not consecutive serial numbers, the hue/shade of the oak finish is pretty darn identical. I am not bothered by it at all; All drivers are in excellent condition, and even my wife couldn't believe how they were in such good shape; The amount of bass coming out of these speakers makes you grin quite a bit. I do wish the ports were on front, but I will have to tweak with placement. They are going in my dedicated home theater (hahaha that sounds silly... it's really just a 11x14 room that we use to play games and watch movies). The KV3 left me underwhelmed, but I think almost anything would not be able to hold a candle to these KLF-30s, so I will set everything up and see how it goes. I didn't have time last night to set everything up as I want, but my wife is going out of town for a few days and I will very soon have a KLF-30, KV3, RB61, and dual PSA XV15se for a 5.2 system. Pretty excited for this weekend. Best case scenario: I keep the KLF-30s where they are now and be done with it (yeah right... like you can ever be done with this hobby) Worst case scenario: I move the KLF-30s to the living room and get a RF7/RC64 combo from Cory within the next few months. Ok, that could not possibly be a "worst" case scenario, it would only cost money. Thanks for the input, @Woofers and Tweeters , , , unless you're looking side by side, it is hard to tell they have different wood/cathedral grains. Funny you mention cathedrals, because I work on a furniture shop and a coworker gave a hard time that I kept calling them stalactites or stalagmites... because that's what they look like to me! haha I was just about to post here! Perfect timing, haha.
  17. That's wonderful feedback, @billybob, thank you! I will try to curb my enthusiasm and not jump the gun. I'm really excited for the opportunity of owning some legend speakers, but will be cautious. Thanks again
  18. I owe your @TasDom finder's fee on those cherry Heresy IIIs from last year! Thanks everyone. I will report back later tonight. I am pretty excited to check out these KLF-30
  19. The other tower's SN is xxx99150061. Any thoughts on this, guys? edit: should I be concerned/worried over non-consecutive serial number?
  20. Going to see them right after work! I had been eyeing RF7/RC64 combo... but this seem like a sweet deals.

    What I Got Today!

    I'm driving a red Cruze... the damn thing's actual color is "Pull me over Red". My wife giggled and told me it's a matter of time before I get a ticket. That's a nice looking Silverado. I miss my truck days
  22. Chorus and Forte is a great front stage. GLWS!!

  24. Ali, The PB16 is one heck of a sub... but for duals' pricing, I'd be looking at JTR (Cap 2400) and Rythmik (FV15HP) for deeper base; PSA (V3611) for more mid-bass slam. Depends what your expectations are and if you have any limitations on size/placement. Regardless of which path you take, it'll be a pretty amazing room. Best of luck
