[Vintage Yamaha w/ Heritage Klipsch]

I have had 2: HK930s, 1: HK730, I 2: HK630s, 1: CR2020 and all have been very good with various Heritage that I have had.

One of my HK930 was fully recapped and it showed.

My Yammy was untouched and was very nice to listen to!

 

So far the best vintage amp with Heritage is my current Sansui AU-717 that was completely redone by leestereo over on AudioKarma.

The refurb on the 717 cost well over what I paid for this mint 717, but totally  worth it!

 

The Piggy 717 drives either my H3s or LSs  with ease and huge dynamics.

Very happy with it!

 

 

 

 

Thanks for sharing about the au 717.  I have an opportunity to get one that is in the final stages of being restored by a very reputable tech.  The same guy that restored my 2285.

Anyone running vintage Yamaha with your Klipsch?  I recently picked up a Yamaha CR 620 to flip. I’ve hooked it up to my Chorus II’s expecting it to be too bright and clinical sounding.  To my surprise, it sounds pretty darn good.  Not too bright and the unique loudness adjustment allows me to take out any sharpness.  It really drives the bass and mid tones.  I guess I was expecting the “natural sound” to be uninspiring.  Now, it’s got me wanting to compare to my Marantz 2285 and Sansui 8080.  I would love to hear from others running 70’s Yamaha’s amps/receivers with Heritage Klipsch.   Btw.....I’m doing the sound check listing to Steely Dan.
