alexg5775 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Earl i am assuming your going to run the khorns off the b&k? I ran my khorns with the parasound model 2100 preamp and b&k amp and they sounded amazing. I now have a fisher 500c which i am looking to restore because i want to give tubes a try Run the khorns off what you have now and in the future i am sure you will change it up. Keep your eyes peeled on a good deal so you wont miss it. Good luck and i hope you enjoy the khorns. Alex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Alex, I am going to use your B&K for now. I have gone a bit crazy over the past six weeks having bought Heresys, Cornscalas and now the Khorns. I like your advice. I will wait and watch for the right amp. Best, Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Home sweet home. Those are beautiful, and fit well in your room. Just curious, what are they replacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Ceptorm, They really aren't replacing anything. They are in addition to a set of Cornscalas which are on the lower level of the house Edited March 17, 2014 by eth2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ave Bona Cornwall Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I am surprised they made it safely through any frost heaves there may have been between Newport and Sangerville! Since I haven't chimed in...Congrats on the new treats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Ave Bona, Thanks, I really like them (even as furniture). They were triple wrapped in bubble warp, foam insulation and a comforter. Then they were firmly tied (thanks Brac) to the front header of a 12 foot rental truck. Your point about the roads between Sangerville and the Interstate is well taken. You obviously know the roads up there. I should not have done it, but I calculated the cost of getting them home. It was a bit of a shock! $250 Truck Rental (one way Bangor to Ithaca). It would have been about $700 round trip $275 Gas for truck $120 Gas for personal car (had to drive to Maine to get the rental truck) $50 Tolls $125 Hotel $75 Food $170 Loading costs $1065 Total Guess I will just think of it as a two day vacation in Maine.

WTF? And all you did was drive there and back ? Are you kidding me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Minermark, No, I wish I was kidding. I needed a car and a truck as the cost of a round trip truck rental was obscene. Gas for the truck (at about 9 miles a gallon) was no bargain either. As I bought them at around 3 pm on Friday and had to pick them up on Saturday, there was no time to try and figure out a more economical way to get them home. It was about 1,200 miles round trip Nonetheless, a guy in New Hampshire has a comparable pair and wants $4.500, so I guess I still made out pretty good.

eth2 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Since I work for myself and had only afternoon appointments, I blew off the morning.

Now I am thinking of blowing off the afternoon, getting a case of Guinness and celebrating St. Pat's day! Id be more than happy to come over with a bottle of Lagavulin 16 but since I don't drink and drive, I would need to walk, it's kind of a far walk for me, so ill just be Drinkin my Own Guinness and thinkin of you enjoying those kickazz speakers. P.S. a little later when we are all a little fuzzy, we can start the "Cables" conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I made a 3 day trip to pick up speakers a few weeks ago. I made a vacation ou tof it. We went to two dirrferent state parks. Fun trip, I got my speakers and she got a to go see the parks take pictures, etc. It was really fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxx Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 you move fast Earl, Often times, that's the only way to get it done.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindeville Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yes indeed Boxx, not much moss has grown on any pair of speakers I have ever owned either. Earl done good on his new squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi Vindeville, Your Cornscalas will always have a place in my heart. As you can tell, I am completely out of control. Feel free to stop by if you are in Ithaca. Just PM me and I will give you directions. Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
