[Klipsch Epic CF-2 - underwhelming?]

I power them with the Onkyo TX-NR3008. 140 Watt. It has some power and weighs over 60 Lbs. I have also used my old Luxman R-115, 70 Watts and it did a fabulous job as well.

[Klipsch Epic CF-2 - underwhelming?]

I purchased a pair of CF-2's about a year ago at an estate sale along with an Onkyo TX-NR3008 receiver for $110 total. Both items were in near mint condition. I had to find replacement feet for the speakers which took a little trial and error but now have them. The Onkyo needed a new DSP board after I used it for a few months (bad chips on the original board). Both are working great in my second audio room now. I have done nothing else to the speakers. I really enjoy these speakers and think they sound excellent with all varieties of music.

 

I have the CF-2's on 4" stands which put the tweeter at head level. They are slightly toed in. They are off the back wall about two feet. Where they are setup, there is ample bass. I do not think they were used much before I bought them. Now that I use them daily, they have really opened up.

 

In my other room I have a Marantz SR7013 paired with Klipsch RP-8000F's which I also love. It is easy for me to compare the different voices of each of these fine speakers. Depending on what I am listening too, I will prefer one over the other.

 

I lucked into the CF-2's but am very happy I did.

[Spikes or Feet for Epic CF 2's]

I bought a used almost mint pair of Epic CF 2's. They are missing the spikes or feet. I called Klipsch and was told the size was 1/4-20. These are to small for the mounting wholes. Can anyone tell me the correct size. While I think they came originally with spikes, I would want to use rubber feet
