wvu80 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Just snagged the VRD's! Picking up on Sunday. Wow, NICE GOING!!! Those look spectacular! Are you going to list all the stuff you acquired this year? I think you've got enough now to start your own high-end audio store! I'm not 100% sure because I started here on the Kforum in March or April, but didn't you start 2014 with not very much, and you've "grown your collection" since then?

I'm not 100% sure because I started here on the Kforum in March or April, but didn't you start 2014 with not very much, and you've "grown your collection" since then? I am afraid I might need to be "liquidating" some of my collection. I know I want to keep my K'horns, my KLF-30's and my CornScalas. Everything else is in jeopardy.

muel Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'm glad somebody here picked this up BUT Seriously! Get the NBS! Sell whatever to pay for it all. This part of your journey is now done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Nice quiet amps Earl, and plenty of power, they will make a superb K-Horn setup, forget about the Krell the Cary might mate well though which one do you have ?? Cary did a couple very well regarded pre-amps Cant comment on the peach but as it is fresh back from mark with all his new goodies I would say it would mate well, The NBS looks like a good pre as well but you should get a break from the seller if you buy both ( at least I always want 1 ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love nothing more than seeing a killer deal like this, it will always be worth what you paid, you cannot lose. Pretty much how i handled my Klipsch purchases in the past. wait long enough for anything and you WILL find it for the right price. Your starting your New Year the right way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
