Just curious, don't have them but had a salesman at a dealership tell me one of his sales associates had a brand new pair in an apartment that he wants to get rid of. Don't know the cost but I am going there next weekend. I will find out and post the $$.
I think CW's would be a better fit in my situation anyway.

I am looking at new amps as well. Have you considered a B & K 200.7 S2? About the same cost as the sunfire.
-
Don't have them but I understand that the Khorn must be put directly into corners. What happens to the sound if one of them is against a wall but 24-26" from the actual corner?
Thanks........

The rotel has been a good amp for me. I am just ready to upgrade...........not that any of my equipment is bad or outdated etc. Just doing it because I can.
As for the input from everyone.....thanks again.
My plan is to do the following and I always follow through on a plan.
Replace RF-7 system with Cornwall III's (Main) Herseys III's (Center and Surrounds) Good fit for my room size!!!!
-
After weeks of research I have come to this conclusion.....I just don't know which Amp to get and I can't get the dealers to let me test them at home. So help me decide. I will be purcahsing some cornwall III's soon. Current Amp is a Rotel RMB-1095. Want to improve system in the Amp dept..
McIntosh MC205, $6K, Clarity, US built
Sunfire TGA-5400, $3.8K, Power, Made in China (confirmed today)
B & K 200.5 S2, Sound, US Built
Thanks,

Out in search of a new amp today. Still no luck!!!
Anyone have comments about a McIntosh MC205 with CWIII's?
How much do they go for new??

Good Advice Indy...........

Pyro, in the case you are shopping for B&K gear, I have a post in the garage sale forum for a B&K Ref 50 pre/pro plus a B&K stereo amp at 225 watts per channel. clicky
Shameless plug I know, but its worth a shot.
Shameless........What were you thinking. LOL! Pre/pro Amp will be my last purchase. As for the stereo amp, I will keep that in mind.
I haven't decided on B & K or Sunfire. I sure did like the Anthem and Lexicon amps I heard today. As for sunfire I remember the old carver amps kicking A**.

QSC is a pro amp like Crown. Lots of power and much less expensive than your typical HT amp. The down side is that most have loud fans (which can be changed or modded) and use pro style XLR connectors. Pro amps are becoming popular due to their exceptional dollar/watt ratio. Most purists turn their noses up at the idea of using pro amps, but I like mine.
I noticed that you are using an Athem D2. I heard and looked at one of those today.....Sweet!!!!
-
QSC Amps? Never heard of them.

I've never owned one, but I've never read a bad review. I wish I could find the article where they had about 10 amps, blind A/B'd them and this amp came in 2'nd. There were some VERY expensive amps in the review. They make a 7 and a 5 channel version.

Interesting threads. I went to the local audio shop today and compared the Lexicon RX-7 and Anthem MCA 50. They were also trying to sell me the Anthem P5 but only had the P2 in stock (This thing is a monster).
Checked out the Anthem D2 which is sweet.
Going to checkout Sunfire and B & K this weekend.

Are you familiar with the CW sound? If not you may want to wait on an amp choice. The 7's & CW's are definately voiced differently.
What are you trying to say here? I am interested on you thoughts. Right now I have the RF-7's but I am returning to the Heritage line. I have owned Hersey II's and one of my friends had Lascala's.
Lascala's and K-horns are too big for my room so I was thinking of CW's as my best choice.
Thanks

Yes the amp will be the next thing I will be selling. I will be putting it up for sale in 2-3 weeks in the garage. The amp is a tank, sounds good with my RF-7's. As with other Rotel Amps this one has the grounding issue. But is solved by using a 3 to 2 cheater plug. Otherwise it is a good amp.
-
This is so true. I had 2 pair of Hersey II's. Got married....got Bose. Finally conviced her on RF-7's. We got divorced last year......I will be buying CW III's soon.
LMAO!!!!!!!

Trying to get an idea on amps. Right now I am running a Rotel RMB-1095. What amps would be a step up in the $2000-$4000 range. New Front speakers will most likely be CWIII's with surrounds and center from the heritage line as funds become available. 5-channel solid state. Sorry tube guys!!!!!
B & K?
Sunfire?
-
What would be a fair asking price for a complete RF-7 HT System in near mint condition?
Thanks,
Rob
-
What about the Hersey III's? The bad thing is no dealers have Heritage demos. The're willing to "Special Order" them!!!!
Again I do have a complete RF-7 system (For Sale if I go Heritage) that I like for movies but they lack the mids when listening to music especially female voices, but I new that when I bought them............ But now that I am listening to more music I feel the desire to change my system and return to the heritage lineup. Plus I don't have the wife factor anymore.......LMAO!!!!!!

Don't have the space for the K-Horns. Buy in one swoop is for me!
-
Not me dude, I live in Maryland.

And the dilemma begins......... I have a complete HT speaker system consisting of RF-7, RC-7, RS-7, and RSW-15 all in Black and in excellent to mint condition. I have the original boxes also.What would be a fair price for this system?Why am I selling it? I seem to be listening to more music these days and I miss the Heritage sound.So now that I am selling the HT system, what speakers from the Heritage line should I get? I have owned Hersey II's and Forte II's. One of my friends had Lascala's back in 1987 and I always liked those.Thanks, Rob

Hey guys,
Need to downsize. Moving into a small apartment. Asking $800.00; TV is 2.5 years old and was hardly used the first two years. I live in between D.C. and Baltimore so if you are from this area and want a great TV then PM me and we can talk. It also has a service warranty until March of 2008. I still have the original box too. Thanks, PYRO

I have a RMB-1095, this is one monster of an AMP. Sounds Great and a good price.
-
Its been about 8 months since this thread was posted. These items are still for sale. New cost for entire setup is around $1500.00
Will sell it for $700.00
Rob
