I thought the whole point of the garage sale was to make sure the speakers go to a good home for a fair price

I'd stick with a simple two channel setup (with the Cornwalls), and for ease of use get a nice integrated amplifier. It might not be the pinnacle of performance but everyone in the family gets to enjoy it and its not complicated or difficult to use. They will fill that room with sound easily, no need for surround speakers and subwoofers IMO. You have the opportunity to sow the seeds of audio enjoyment with the entire family, that way if someday you end up wanting a dedicated listening room they'll understand. I really enjoy it when my four year old is dancing in the living room and can walk over to turn up her favorite song on the "big stereo".

Welcome! I'm not sure how others approach this question but I've found its easier to choose the speakers you want, then choose an amplifier that matches well. For example if you have a small room and sensitive speakers (meaning they don't need a lot of power to produce high volumes, like many Klipsch speakers) then a low wattage amp can work well. On the flip side if you have a large room those same speakers will require more power to reach the same volume levels. Another thing to consider is the nominal wattage used for listening will be pretty low, however if part of the song has a deep bass note, or loud crash sound, etc... it can require a lot of power for a short amount of time. I'm sure others will chime in with their thoughts and experience, good luck on your journey

I'm very fortunate that we are on well water that is clean and tastes delicious. No filters, no chemicals added, just from 90+ feet below ground. Also no monthly bill other than the electricity to run the well.

I've been happy with my Louisiana Grill 24" kamado. It was $600 at Costco last summer. I've never had a smoker or smoked anything before to compare it with, but the spare ribs were delicious so I must have done something right.

The price is down to $1800. They look pretty nice, would be good to see the grille removed.

I run the Yamaha A-S801 (bought used for $600) with my CF3's and it sounds great. I specifically chose with the 801 for the built in DAC (USB input from the computer) and optical input so I could connect my TV. I've been eyeing the A-S1100, 2200, etc... (used) though... I've seen them come down a bit in price recently. In the off chance you are in central Oregon you could borrow mine for a weekend to try it out. 🙂

These have been for sale for a long time at $5k, this is the first price drop I've seen. I bet they would have sold long ago if they weren't black.

Although wind turbines do kill birds, relatively speaking the numbers are low compared to other sources. In areas with high bird migration there are a handful of radar based control systems that can stop the wind turbines when birds approach. https://detect-inc.com/wind-energy-bird-bat-radars/

For residential use I would 100% recommend solar, grid tied. For backup power I'd go with a propane generator since a grid tied system will not provide power if the power goes out. Off grid systems are a whole different beast. For the most part small scale wind turbines are finicky and unreliable. I'd only recommend one if someone has a strong wind resource and its mounted up on a tower above any obstructions. Source = I've been working in the utility scale wind industry for 14 years.

@Shiva That's a great question - I've wondered the same thing. I'm quite content with my CF3's but I've never heard CF4's to compare.

I haven't actually measured the power draw however I tap out way before the amp/speakers do during spirited listening. The volume knob is not linear but the highest I've had it is halfway up. The amp gets warm but not too hot. I've also heard that the CF3/4 speakers really like plenty of power and from my experience that is true, especially in a large room. My old 65w channel amp would go into protection mode if I pushed it too hard.

I'd try a pure 2 channel setup with the CF4's and see what you think. I run a Yamaha A-S801 (2 channel) with my CF3's for the following reasons: - It was not too expensive - Easy for others to use since its integrated - USB input and onboard DAC for streaming music from my mac, sounds great - Optical input for the TV, we don't watch a ton of TV/Movies however it sounds good to me in 2 channel I used to be all about surround sound, small speakers all over the room, etc.... after switching to 2 channel things are so much easier and sound so much better. The only way I'd go with an AVR is if it was for a dedicated movie room.
