Shiva Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Audio/90s/Audio-1995-07.pdf One other point stated in the review of the Epic CF3 in the link, is that Klipsch recommended that the speakers be slightly tilted up towards the ear of the listener for best results, which the reviewer did. He took measurements tilted and not and got better measurements tilted up. A review worth reading for Epic owners.👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC39693 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Calgary... we have vacationed in Minnesota and of course been to the mall. It’s a bit of a drive even for an Albertan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_Of_Reason Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 How's it going guys? I'm still on the hunt for a deal on a good amp. I found this one on CL. What do y'all think? I believe the ex4420 does 200w @8ohms. Thanks in advance! V_O_R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of headroom; I think you will be happy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thanks to you all I've learned that since the EPICs are pretty sensitive, not much Watts is needed to make them move walls. lol Thanks for your input @Oicu812! Do you think that is a fair price?

Oicu812 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I've always used a measure that my grandfather taught me: If you have $500 in one hand and the amp in the other, which do you keep and which goes to the other guy? @Voice_Of_Reason A long winded way of saying that value is subjective, always.

His funeral was on Tuesday, and he lived a long and happy life. 98 years old, and still "interested in the ladies" right to the end. One of six brothers to serve in WW2. He was the last of 14 siblings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank him for his service. Cheers! V_O_R I think I can share this one on the forum: One of his brothers came in through Normandy. The other fought Rommel in North Africa. Claude (the one that landed in Normandy) was told that his brother had been killed. He fought up through France into southern Germany, and ended up in a foxhole hiding from a sniper. He heard running feet behind and glanced back to make sure they were Americans. These guys jumped in the hole with him, so he turned to the one next to him to bum a smoke. It was the brother he was told had been killed. He had came up through Italy, and both ended up in the same foxhole in a small German village. If you wrote that into a script, no one would believe it. From what he told me it turned into a party right there in the mud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 One way to check value is look at the completed listings on Ebay. In green, the sold for price. Here are the ones listed. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=b%26k+ex4420&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Complete=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

314carpenter Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 My sincerest condolences on your families loss of your grandfather. I share a similar story with my grandfathers service in WWII. D-Day. My own grandfather was a very important figure in my upbringing. Always regard his advice as important and relevant. If anyone still has any contact with a WWII vet, I suggest you take advantage of the relationship you have and just ask them to share their life and experience with you. Very few remain now.

VERY sage advice. Pop (my father's father) had a great uncle and another family member that were Civil War vets. He grew up knowing them, and I grew up knowing him. My mother's mother died in April, and she was in the WAVES in WW2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAVES I never expected to have grandparents in my mid 50's. I was lucky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 In regards to how much power the Epics might demand on ones system, there used to be a guy on this forum called Cleve. He had a 5.1 Epic system in his home, 3 CF4's in front, 2 CF3's for rear surrounds. 👍 All powered by 300 watt per channel Mcintosh gear. He would take pics of the meters, pegged at 300 watts playing music. So, they may draw more power than one would think or need. I think it better to have more than less. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_rod_serling_ Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I cannot imagine 300 Mac watts into each of 5 CF3s not instantly rupturing your eardrums lol. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
