  1. Oh I've replaced the battery. That isn't the problem.
  2. Anyone ever solve this problem? If it’s just a loose capacitor, that’s totally fixable.
  3. I have a 430 and a 730, and I prefer the sound of the 430. To be fair, they both need some new caps to drop the noise floor, but they PUNCH.
  4. Sorry, I've been away from this for a while. Yes, you simply use the Marantz L&R preouts. Volume is controlled by the Marantz. I don't use an eq per se, but I do use the Audyssey room correction. You can turn it off by using switching to Pure output.
  5. Facebook ad: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/822158169016702/?referralSurface=messenger_lightspeed_banner&referralCode=messenger_banner Seller is motivated...is pushing these to me for $600. He'll include stands and Monster Cables for an additional $750. Bet you could talk him down. I already have three pair of RB-5s, so...

    ...with La Scalas? I only ask because I'm currently using a Dennis Had Inspire SEP amp...which I love, but the Pass bug has grabbed me.
  7. Meanwhile, I was purchasing a pair of modified AAs from Dean… not that I can complain.
  8. My god, where the hell were you six months ago with these?

    How punchy is it compared to the xa25? I listen to a lot of music, including a lot of 70s British rock.
  10. Seems I've been sucked into the Pass Labs/First Watt vortex. Currently using a Dennis Had Inspire SEP amp (which I love, but...) with my 85 La Scalas/DeanW modified AAs. Wondering if a SIT 3 or F8 might yield even more pleasure...
  11. I have a pair of RB-5s that need the little rubber doohickeys into which the grill pegs fit. Any leads? Thanks in advance!
  12. Looking for a K-1084 myself. Please let me know if anyone has one available. Thanks.

    How much did you get for them?
  14. LOL...more like, buy some longer screws and some washers until I can get one.
  15. Hi all--I just took delivery of a pair of RB-5 IIs in Cherry--cabinets have some wear, but that's salvageable. Both tweeters work. Both drivers work, but one looks like it took an impact. Cracked plastic on all four screw mounts. The driver fell out. So if you have an extra laying around, I'd love to buy it from you. I think they used these in the RS-7s, too. (Ironically, the grills were flawless)
  16. I know it's been over three years...but did you ever sell this KV2?
  17. That thing's gorgeous. Love my 430--won't ever get rid of it.
  18. Looks like they're gone.
  19. Cherry, $4500, Tehachapi, CA.
  20. Here's the shitty part--those are the first LSIIs to show up for sale within driving distance of me in, well...forever. Don't remember it ever happening. And I just bought a pair of '85 La Scalas locally because those never come up for sale around here...and Dean is making my new crossovers THIS WEEKEND. ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
  21. Here’s a link to the seller
