Pft.... What a crock. I would never pay that. BTW, where were you, Beverly Hills where everything is overpriced anyway?

justin_tx_16 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 my cousin's home theater used to be made of all Martin Logan top of the line speakers. Total for the system was like $100,000 or more. but alas, his parents divorced and his dad moved to california with the system. were they Martin Logan electrostatic speakers? ------------------ -justin SoundWise Support A technical help site created by me and my fellow Klipschers I am an amateur, if it is professional; ProMedia help you want email Amy or call her @ 1-888-554-5665 or for an RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5 Klipsch Home Audio help you want, email support@klipsch.com or call @ 1-800-KLIPSCH RA# Fax Number=317-860-9140 / Parts Department Fax Number=317-860-9150s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnumMan Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 i finally got to listen to some high end B&W's last week. A store in Ft Wayne,IN has the Nautilus Line. They had the Signature 800's which I was told they sold for $20,000. They were being powered by (2) $4,000 Classe amps. They were awesome!

NOZ Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 JasN00b, I just purchased an Infocus LP350 off a guy on Ebay for $2500 U.S. brand new in the box. I should receive it in about a week. I also purchased a Draper Premier 96" x 72" power screen. I should be getting that in a week or so also. I'll let you know how the set-up is when I get it finished.

Even if the Heresys didnt sound better than the $40k speakers just imagine if you were comparing them to higher end Klipsch speaker like Cornwalls or Klipschorns .

Danartdis Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Jas, Why dont you take the parents credit card, get on ebay and buy one of the 3 or 4 pairs of good, used Heresys that are currently offered? You can pick up a pair for $350 I'm sure.

MagnumMan Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 RebelPeon-the place is called AudioVideo Lifestyles. It's on the west side of Ft Wayne not far from 69 I went there because they carry Rotel. I didn't have time to look at everything. Saw those big B&Ws and had to listen! But would never think of spending that much for speakers,no matter how good they are! ------------------ Jerry CP RULZ ------------ Mains: KLF 30 Rears: KG 5.5 Center: KLF-C7 Subs: (2) Antique wooden coffins with (3) 12" Advents in each Receiver: HK AVR-80 DD Processor: HK ADP-303 DTS Processor: Rotel RDA 985 AudioControl Phase Coupled Activator Series Three TV: Toshiba 42H81 42" Theaterwide DVD: Toshiba 4109X Laserdisc: Yamaha CDV-W901 5 CH Amp(for subs): Rotel RB-985 Single Cass Deck: HK TD-420 Dual Cass Deck: HK DC-520 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
