    I'd like it if it's still available.  I am looking for something to play background music in my classroom while the students are working.

     

     

    Ding ding ding, winner!!! Send me your address and you got it! I'm happy to be helping with the classroom supplies. We all know schools never have enough of a budget for it.

    Nice little amp.  Someone will be pleased.

    I hope so. Btw I'm in a full-stack development boot camp right now. Switching to that line of work hopefully this fall. It seems many developers are also audio nerds. The guy who got me into Klipsch is a SQL developer.

  3. Thanks to @Kevmosmith for sending this headphone amp to me for free a few months back. It worked great powering some small bookshelf speakers, but I'm not using it anymore, so as per his request, I'll be passing it along to another member. You will need to provide a standard power cable to go into the brick. Free + $0.00 shipping and handling, same as he did. First person gets it.

  4. Doing some homework in my friend's basement where my CF-4s live until I buy a place of my own in my new home city. Software engineering classes end this fall. I should be pretty hirable then (and have intentionally focused on education now) so I will buy my Klipsches the house they deserve! 😆

  5. Hey all,

     

    My dad has some Tandberg TL-3520s he just had refoamed, and he'd like to get some stands for them. He thinks something like the commonly-used tilting stands for the JBL L100s might be nice. Something like this. Anyone know of anything online that's like these stands, at an affordable price? I have seen Deer Creek stands, but they are over $400/pr.

  6. I think some of you have caught up in the other thread, but here's the update:

     

    wuzzzer shared that link with me for the ones in Minnesota, but by 7am the next morning, they were pending sale. That prompted me to do a quick search, as I do once or twice a week, for other sets within 500 miles on Marketplace. And what do you know? A near-mint set in Illinois posted a week ago - they can't still be up for grabs. I sent a message, expecting to hear that they had been sold, but a few minutes later I got a response that they were still available. Long story short I left Minneapolis at 10am, met up with him after work at 5:30, saw a lot of amazing gear in his house, packed up my new haul and got home at 1:45am.

    So whats you & your friends opinion comparing the epics to the chorus2?  

     

     

     

    It's the original Chorus. We both love them both, but the CF4s feel more accurate and balanced, whereas the Choruses add some warmth, low end, and very forward high-mid clarity that cause them to sound more exciting and lively, but that same very forward high-mid character is why he has noticed, compared to his Fortes, the Choruses get a little fatiguing after a while. The CF4s are easier to listen to for longer and feel smoother. Overall, we both just kept agreeing there is no wrong answer between the two of them.

  8. Some pics from tonight, now that I've recovered from my 12-hour trip to get them. Much swapping, switching, and general merriment at my friend's house with his Choruses, my new (to me) CF4s, his Marantz 2238B, and my Rotel RX-1052. I just moved back to my home town and am in a small apartment for a few more months, so the CF4s will hang out here until I have the proper space for them. Oh on that note, the CF4s are larger than I expected! I thought they'd be nearly the size of the Choruses, but they're larger in two dimensions. Consecutive serials, made on the 41st day of 1995 - 04159... Grey horns, short port tubes. Clearly version 2, yes?

     

    Two VERY different sounding speakers, but both so wonderful.

    Ugh, ain’t that the brakes? Granted I think @bpplaysguitarended up with the best of both. This guy he bought it from who’s local to me, seems to have a lot of desirable stuff in crazy mint condition. 
     

    If there was no sentimental value attached to these CF4s I have in particular, I would’ve bought that guy’s and sold mine a week ago. The black satin grew on me quickly and they would’ve been an immediate aesthetic upgrade with the spread in cost being less than or equal to a refinish of mine. 
     

    My best balance is probably either being content with my ~6.5-7/10 condition of mine (which I pretty much am) or having them refinished. 
     

    In my next home which will be bigger, I’ll probably turn into a CF4 predator, owning an example in every Klipsch color 🤪

     

    I'll make sure to post some pics soon. I've been back at work today. CF4s in every color would get expensive! Shoot just one pair isn't cheap. BTW this was my first ever Klipsch purchase.

    So,@bpplaysguitar, did you score these CF4s in Tinley Park?

     

    Indeed. Did you see those on Facebook too?! I don't think the seller is on here. I woke up, saw that I missed a set right near me overnight (sold in hours), checked marketplace since I was on there, was shocked to find those and was on a 12 hour round trip adventure within a couple hours.
