  1. Pics of the progress... Top water damage All gone... Filling A little bracing added
  2. No longer going this route. I'm refinishing them. If they don't beat out any of my current speakers, I will post a new listing for them.

    Yes, they are still available.
  4. How about $15 for both ports plus whatever the ridiculous shipping amount will be? I sold the KLF 20 woofers a bit back, but I do have 4 of the KLF 30 woofers if you are interested in those... Let me know.

    Anyone need some OEM woofers?
  6. Anyone interested in the ports?
  7. Decent condition KG 3.5's with original boxes. All of the drivers are in excellent condition. The grills are excellent with the original badges. The cabinets are in very good condition with several small visible marks viewable only when you are up close. These are the real wood veneer cabinets, not the cheesy vinyl wrapped ones. Garage audition upon time of purchase to verify they work perfectly and you are happy with their sound. Location Chicago Burbs 60511 Price $200
  8. What size is your room? I have two Ultimax 18's each in a 4.25CF sealed cabinet powered by a Crown K2 (800 watts RMS to each sub) I have one in the front and one in the side/back area to smooth out the nodes. In a 22 by 18 foot space, there is more bass than anyone would ever need.
  9. Try coming down on the price if you need them sold sooner than later. I sold my k-79's for $50 for the pair, and even at that price they didn't fly out the door. (Same diaphragm, as the k-75's but the k-79 has a tighter gap producing slightly higher sensitivity.) GLWS
  10. I don't think it's worth putting all of that time and money into a mid-grade speaker from the 90's. I have a friend who is interested, so I might sand down and do some textured paint as it will be used most likely in a commercial setting, so it doesn't have to look house-worthy.
  11. That's why I bought them. I've never owner a pair of 5.5's. I like to buy ones that need a little TLC and refinish them. Then, I compare them to my current line up. If I like the sound better than something I already have, I keep it and then let something else go.
  12. Water damage on the top of one speaker causing the seem to open up and of course swelling below the veneer. The seller said it didn't break the seal inside, but I haven't opened them up to take a look at the seems. I kicked around the idea of waiting until spring and just building new cabinets, but that's a lot of work that I just don't have the time for now with two young children.
  13. If you don't decide to do the 9' ceilings, definitely do an extra wide staircase to the basement! Straight shot, so much easier to move items up and down!
  14. I would go 9' for sure. The extra headroom in the basement makes it feel so much more open. 6k over the many years you will be in the house is insignificant for the gains you will realize. Plus, heating and cooling costs really wont be significantly more due to it being in the basement. When I build my retirement home, I will have 10' ceilings in the basement! If your worried about going too deep, dig down to the same depth as you would with 8 foot walls, and just back fill 1' additional around the house with a nice easy slope for drainage.
  15. My neighbor is looking for a decent less expensive 5 channel amp after seeing/hearing my XPA 5's. However, I already sold them before he made up his mind to buy one. I sent him a text and I'll let you know if he's interested.

    Update: Location: Chicago Burbs 60511 Price: 4 for $550
  17. How's it going? I bought an sc-05 and an oppo bdp-103 from a local guy for $250 about a year ago... thinking I would update my old pioneer to one that has hdmi. The player worked perfectly, the Pioneer not so much. I ended up doing a reset on the Pioneer and it worked fine. Sold it for $200 because they are very picky and go into default quite often. I decided to stick with my old vsx 56txi for my living room system that I purchased used for $500 about a decade ago! You'll have to let us know what you think of your SC-57.
  18. I've replaced almost all of my emotiva amps with rotels as well. Does this amp have the typical emotiva capacitor issue noise when it shuts off?
  19. A lot of interest, but no one has shown up with the $$$ yet, so they are still available. $950
  20. Nice work. I haven't used the cheap crown amps, I know they are inexpensive and they have to cut corners somewhere. Maybe it was an open box because it was returned for the buzz issue. My K1 and K2's are very quiet. Did you make sure you don't have a ground loop going on? Or any other electrical issue? You can always try a three prong to 2 prong adapter to lift the ground and see if that makes difference.
  21. I have 4 available, but I don't ship outside the US.
