  1. Its all relative and IMHO dependent on the quality of power the amp puts out. I run a pair of 86dB efficient Harbeths with a 5 watt per channel SET. The sound is dynamic and clean (not the same as LS II, but....). Of course the 14 capacitors in its power supply help...

  2. You know what these are but here's the copy: Designed from the most functional and premium materials available, the Klipsch Heritage HP-3 headphones feature die-cast steel, milled wood, premium leathers, and machined aluminum components. Boasting a 52mm KG-520 biodynamic driver housed in a back-vented design, the HP3 headphones deliver unsurpassed acoustic performance.

     

    Driven by a pair of 52mm biodynamic drivers with more than one tesla of magnetic flux density. Precisely vented between the front of the driver and directly behind the ear pad through a vortex guide, the Heritage HP-3 reduces pressure in your ears and creates a consistent performance for any head or ear shape.

     

    SENSITIVITY (1MW) - 98 dB

    POWER HANDLING - 1,800 mW

    IMPEDANCE - 25 Ohms

     

    These ebony Klipsch Heritage HP-3 headphones were gently used, the third pair in rotation. No mechanical, acoustic or cosmetic issues; no signs of appreciable wear. Includes the head phones, stand and cables in the original container. The container has nicks, bumps and marks from storage & being moved in the closet.

     

    SOLD plus shipping to you. Please email any questions.

    I  didn't mean anything personal by my remark. 
     

    We all knew that.

     

    I had considered putting bric a brac all over the tops but

    a) I wasn’t sure he’d see the humor &

    b) I would have needed to remove the covers from the tops 😎

    Scammers wouldn't mention Project One, let alone know about Playback. Welcome to the forum...

    Not only is Chuck not a scammer, turns out he & I both worked for the same company in different offices. Small world!

    The Cornwalls are now heading to East Tennessee where they will not be used as plant stands!

    Thanks again Chuck!

    I'm 63. Unless I hate them, I have no need to buy anything else. I have a Polestar 2 EV. I don't expect to have to buy a new car anytime soon. My other audio equipment won't need any upgrades any time soon since its all new.

     

    Not that you likely will ever need it (and since I’m spending your money...), I’d go with the new speakers. They have a 10 year warranty, unless they are ‘B’ stock. You should confirm which version they are with the dealer.

    someone buy it.... please...

    save me from buying... 

    if seller willing to ship? i might have to jump on it

     

    Sorry, although I have the boxes, no shipping. That requires palletizing and a freight company.

    Just plan a weekend in Nashville and take these home.

    I'm not sure if one can be too cautious. 

    Long ago, I was told that when shipping speakers, it is best to ship them with the woofers facing up or down. It made sense to me because of the cone's natural direction of travel and that lightly loaded heavy suspension trucks transfer the bumps of the road into the cargo, similar to hitting everything with a heavy rubber mallet. For lightweight trucks and cars, it shouldn't matter. 


     

     

    But my LaScala IIs came from Hope upright on a pallet.

     

    And judging by the shipping labels, so did my Cornwalls.

     

    Just sayin’...

  8. As nice a pair as you will find. ‘A’ stock with consecutive serial numbers. No mechanical or sonic issues. No cosmetic issues: no marks, dents, scratches, vacuum bumps, etc.

     

    Includes original packing/boxes. Located in Columbia Tennessee, just south of Nashville. Please email any questions. SOLD.

  9. I’m selling it as “parts” even though it will work.

    This is a stellar performing machine for both CDs and DVDs built like a tank. Cosmetics are probably an 8 with no visual issues, missing numbers, etc. HOWEVER, I had the drive replaced several years ago by Cary and when it works, its great. But there is no warning when it won’t spin which requires opening the case and spinning the disc manually. This usually keeps it working for several weeks. A new drive will likely fix the problem, but I purchased an SACD player to replace it.

    $100. Includes the DVD- 6, its working remote, manual and original packing. Be aware it is heavy as some power amps (in excess of 25 pound), so shipping could be expensive.

  10. Amazing what is at the back of the closet...

     

    Audio by Van Alstine FET Valve DAC in perfect working order. Serial Number 1030956B. Parallel Processing Hybrid Tube D to A Converter. Uses two 12AX7 / ECC83 tubes, AVA DACs use the Wolfson 8742 digital circuits, good for up to 192/24 high resolution playback. This unit has one digital SPDIF (RCA) input and a set of RCA outputs. I used generic Dynamat on the chassis to ensure any vibration is minimized.

     

    It’s built in a standard 14 inch wide AVA chassis. I would rate it an 8 out of 10 with no cosmetic or sonic issues.  The FET Valve DACs are amazingly musical & enjoyable. No original box or manual.

     

    $150 plus shipping to you or pick up south of Nashville.

    Great looking amp and how are you liking it?

    Thanks,

    CCG

     

    Thanks, It sound great with nearly any Heritage speaker (I did not care for the sound of Fortes). Authoritative bass and with great sustain and decay. Dead quiet in operation.

    I think the person who got money back posted in this thread that it was for some parts, finally got a resolution.

     

    Yes, after much kicking, gnashing of teeth and cajoling, I get him to cancel the unfilled sale of tubes and refund my money (not via PayPal as I paid him [actually his wife], but going to Walmart for a money transfer). Of course, after the ordeal,  which was occurring at the beginning of issues with Shaky & MEH's amps, I don't trust he actually delivered what he promised. Lesson learned: you get what you pay for.

     

    And @Fido; if I just had that 300mm lens...
