Awsom71 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The search is over ...I've been looking for a long time and finally found a pair just down the road from me. (No Shipping) After I hooked them up in my living room and replaced my Heresys - I found that the Yamaha AVR I've been using just don't cut it. Looking for a nice AVR - any suggestions that would work good for my setup ? Trying not to go to an amp/preamp setup, but will if I have to. Right now I have a Cerwin Vega center channel and two Cerwin Vega subs with two Cerwin Vega rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnote Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Looking for a nice AVR - any suggestions that would work good for my setup ? Trying not to go to an amp/preamp setup, but will if I have to. Congratulations You are gonna love those.I have a set and love them. FWIW I run mine with an old Denon AVR 3805 and it runs them very well. I have thought about hooking them up to my Sepperates (Classe SSP300 and an Emotiva XPA5) but really haven't felt a need to since they sound great and moving the Belles or getting the gear out of the rack would be a major PITA . I just threw out the Denon to give you an idea of what could run them and believe me I like it loud sometimes. You will give up before the Belles or a receiver in that range will! Will the sepperates sound better? Probably! (I spent a lot on them) Are they worth it? Maybe? But a good receiver with a pair of Belles will not disappoint! Keep in mind when budgeting for a receiver you might want to budget for a center channel .I might be wrong but I believe those Belles are going to overtake your current one . Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember what they went for, but it was a very reasonable amount. A nice older gentleman had them for sale. At the time, I had the money...Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The original Craigslist ad was answered by a vintage audio equipment hawk who bought the speakers for $800.00. He then put them on Craigslist a week later asking $1,400.00 I called him and said that I had tried to buy them the week before and that I would pay $1,000.00 for them if in good working condition. He agreed and I picked them up for a grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
