Buck115 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 For a while now I’ve wanted to upgrade the front left & right Bookshelf Speakers in my Surround System (5.1.2) with somewhat larger speakers, but within the confines of the area where my system is located. So, after looking at my options, I ordered a pair of Klipsch RB-81 II’s in Cherry finish to replace my Klipsch RB-61’s and received them last week. I finally got them placed and hooked up yesterday and had my first listening session during last night’s Music & Merlot session. I’m very pleased with the sound the RB-81’s added to my system. The day they arrived: During last nights Music & Merlot session: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rectangular Klipsch horns seem much more logical, since most rooms are rectangular in every axis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a MAC6700 with a TM2 Tuner, paired up with P37's and a VPI Prime Scout. Love it. It is a very fine piece of gear. Congrats. Do let me know if you have trouble with the USB DAC. It worked for about a month and quit completely. Same exact deal on my C2500 (with the same DAC). Optical and Coaxial work flawlessly but USB is problematic. Audio Classics said to send it back whenever but I use them both so much AND love them so much there is no way I am A. parting with either for any length of time or B. SHIPPING either one of them. I'm fine without it. The way I see it the internal DAC will become outdated anyway but the rest of the machine will not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
314carpenter Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I got some more KLIPSCHHHHHH RP-160M going to be pulling front height duty for atmos/dts/auro3d content. I needed a replacement pair of bookshelves for this location when I discovered a bad driver in my old pair. I made a few calls, got a few leads for the RP-600M, but one look at Craigslist is all it took to get these guys. Funny story goes with this purchase. So I call phone number on the CL ad and the guy says come get em'. I say, I am going to the baseball stadium tonight to watch a game, so can you meet me somewhere to make the trip reasonable for me. 150 miles between us. He says sure and we set up to meet in a parking lot, where I drive to and wait. So this guy shows up, and he ends up being the same dude I just sold my Klipsch Academy speaker to two weeks ago in another parking lot location. He is like WTF are you doing here. I am also shocked, because we emailed on the first go around and neither of our phones made the contact familiarity apparent. I made sure to lock in the contact info this time. Thanks again if you ever read this David. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Know the DAC maybe outdated, and I am planning on trying to use a DAC/streamer connecting to the XLR inputs. A Cary Audio DMS 550 would be perfect I think. But I bought it mainly for it's the power, headroom, and that McIntosh sound that I am after. I contemplated getting the mac7200 initially, but when this one came up, it was a no brainer, as the internal DAC can be bypassed by newer and better if I may say. I do have the MA5300, and the USB in this baby is first class ! I never had a problem using it. I had to download the USB driver however from McIntosh first, but since then no issues at all, and the sound is amazing with my CWIII's. I plan on using the MAC6700 with my K-horns.

I really could care less if the dac craps out altogether. I bought it for the beef. It is a fantastic unit for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallpoul Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I order this NAD C 658 Preamp, as it comes with decent DAC's and a BLUOS music streamer. I like the Blue OS. It's easy to use and very functional. I already have the NAD M-12 and this one looks similar, with the built in BluOS, so no need for extra module like on the M-12. The C-658 lacks the screen, but oh well, I can hardly see the screen details anyway from my sitting position, and that's what the iPad BluOS app is for anyway !. I think this should be a good companion for the recent McIntosh MAC6700. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
