It does not work for me, and i can go everywhere without problem; my download speed is 3000kbit/sec...

I just read the summer vol.1 no.1 paper on High-Fidelity where PWK said what amp he prefered with Klipschorn. He spoke about McIntosh, which has low distortion. I looked at it at: http://www.retroaudio.ru/mcintosh/ Specifically at the mc-30 and mc-40 which are available at ebay. Now i ask myself: would they be able to play properly Iron Maiden for example? The price is in my range for now. I would use it with RB-5 for now but i will get eventually Klipschorn when i have the place to put them! The amp prefered by PWK was the Brook but i don't find them easily on ebay... I also looked at the dynaco st-70; almost bid for it but i fear the high frequency roll off... Is there a mod to make it sound excellent in high frequency even if it means sacrifying power? Perhaps i'll just wait to build my own with 300b... What disturbs me is that i never heard tubes, so i only rely on other's opinions (not much stores with tubes in my town...) edit: There is also this McIntosh mc-225 that is stereo, 2x25W and seems fine, at ebay for 610$ (for now): http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1353024907 This message has been edited by Martin on 05-18-2002 at 10:21 PM

Thanks for the info. I just received them, installed them and they sound great! I use them with my denon 1802 (for now) and my Mirage FRX-S15 sub I plan to try tubes because a lot of people say that horns love tubes... But then, i will have to buy another sub... Anyway i'll take my time and go for the DIY way. This way i'll have all the time to study tubes (even if i'm an electrical engineer, i never polarised a tube, only transistors!) Anyway, 3/4 of the fun is building it! Edit: This speaker is a gem! I listened to it 3-4 hours and them sound quite like the RF3 with a bit less midrange. Tried Iron maiden, Loreena McKennitt (great percussions on "The book of secrets" album!), Creed, Brotherhood of wolf, ... Next step: Heritage serie! I could buy them but i could not possibly install them here!! My room is already full of Klipsch! This message has been edited by Martin on 05-17-2002 at 10:07 PM

I will buy a pair of RB-5 and i was asking myself: Did i get a good price? I will pay them 1000$ CAD (642$ USD.) I already have RF-3; the RB-5 are for my computer This message has been edited by Martin on 05-13-2002 at 12:56 PM
