Update to my previous post.
I set up two 140mm fans & thermo-switch on my Marantz AVR. Each fan has a switch with four settings off/low/medium/high, a USB plug with some length of cabe and a usb receptacle. Fans are connected to one another and then to the thermal switch. The switch has thermo-lead for temperature measuring wich goes onto your receiver, into your rack, ect., i opened the casing of my AVR and put it in above the heatsink. Power is supplied to the thermal; as my receiver has no USB on the back, i feed power from an external USB-charger.
The thermal switch has no speed-stepping, it´s on or off. You set the fan-speed with their individual switches, so the thermal saves you the hassle of switching on and off, wich i find convinient. I have my fans on the medium setting, sitting approx. 3 meters from my AVR spinning noise almost non existent.
I hope this helps people who think about a similar purchase.

As for the Tubecube, be warned that it gets pretty warm so it needs some ventilation space as well.
No problem, it´s an open shelves rack, lots of air.

Thanks, then it would fit into my rack.

Compared to my Leben CS300
Oh, i´m sure Your Leben sounds better, but then it also cost more – a lot. On the plus side, some "tuning " can be done by buying other tubes, wich con conviniently be bought on the same site. I always thought about pairing my Heresys to a small tube-amp and i´ve seen this one mentioned somewhere before. Good to read that it´s usable, even though it doesn´t cost a fortune. So Cube 7 reallly might be a good way to start with tubes.
By the way, what height is the amp?

MeloManiac, i always wanted to ask how that little amp sounds. I think it would be a great way to delve into tubes without spending a fortune.

Yamaha A-S701, Marantz PM8006
At my workdesk, my KG1.5 play very well with a A S 201, in my living room a Marantz SR6008 powers my Heresy 1 and RF3, also a good combo, i think. At some point i might get a A S 1000 just for stereo.

Yes, let me try this "little bit of tinkering" @Shiva
, i have most of the needed parts lying around here anyway. I´ll post my findings; these will be highly subjective of course, i can´t measure but using my ears.
A very controversial theme, i see. Thanks for Your input Guys.

I see. I searched them on ebay, a few pairs turned up, used ones are around 3000€, more or less.

I think that I paid about $250 or so to ship a similar size bookshelf from Japan.
Out of interest, what did You import?

yeah , you're right , per speaker 2000$ so 4k$ a pair -
So the 800€ really are a steal – if only i had the money, and the space to put them. If, if, if....

For starters, not many people here know that Klipsch is a maker of fine speakers, with some history.

They´re still there. I guess not many people here know what they are.

In the states would expect them to fetch twice that...+.
These days some people sell items under value, because of covid i guess.

You are right, but Klipsch got me confused, usually they state outright that a product is out of production. No past tense here:

Must be a leftover of times that were.

And i was mistaken, i think. Just took a look at the Klipsch Homepage and they are still sold. Somehow i got the impression they went out of production.

Billy, i always wanted to ask, why was Palladium discontinued? Was it always meant to be limited? To expensive, didn´t sell the quantity as expected? It was a superb speaker-line, from what i´ve read.

Darn, haven´t got 800€ lying around, somebody lend me a few bucks!!
No really, if i had the money, i would... I would like to audition some Palladiums, wonder what they sound like.

Son in law, his friend and I had a bourbon and beer session last night on the back patio. Guess we got a little loud as the police showed up around 11:30. Otto the rottie greeted them. I wish I took a picture of their faces as he met them. Lol. They were cool though. I guess they didn't know what to expect as there were 3 of them. Safety in numbers I suppose.
So You couldn´t convert them to become Klipsch disciples?

This stuff came in today. I noticed that my AVR gets quite warm and we´re still in cool spring here in Germany. So i want to be ready for warmer summmer days and will put these two fans on my Marantz, i just have to figure out where best to place the heat-sensor. Does anyone know how to remove what look like seperate grills on top of the newer Marantz machines?
Ed.: Forget the question. I just noticed that these "covers" are just sheets of slotted plastic, underneath is the metal casing as ususal. What purpose could these sheets serve? – No idea...

This weeks additions to my collection:
This is the Springsteen box i was asking about a few days ago. Listened to two discs so far, mostly stuff from the 70´s & early 80´s, solos and also with E-Street-Band. Like it very much, especially when he´s just playing the guitar and singing you get the feeling you´re sitting in his living-room.

Wow, this will be a tough one, i guess... I know my original Heresys lack bass, the 4s have it, but then again, one could argue that it´s a whole new speaker. Honestly, i couldn´t decide – yet. I´ll wait for further coments from the heavy-weights.

@MicroMara to what length, approximately, did You cut your cables before terminating them with your spades ect.?

Watches, like so many other things, are a matter of taste.... I never liked the looks of Rolex very much, if i had the money to spend, i´d go for a Breitling, the Old Navitimer in particular. Still, it´s a good investment, always a "penny for lean times".
