Been away for a while! New place- new stuff.

Hello fellow Klipsch folks.  It's been a good long while since I've been around here but in the last few months as i slowly prepare for retirement (3-4 years off) I've been putting a couple of systems together in my Pipes Canyon place (5 acres at the end of a dirt road--paradise after 35 years in L.A.)

 

I pulled my 1978 Heresys out of storage and built a little cabinet that houses them for my TV sound. I never went in for "Home Theater" but I wanted to have decent 2-channel sound so I paired them with an Oppo bluray player and a little NuForce digital amp.  It sounds great to me-- this is the first time I have used anything but a cheap-o sound bar in my life.

 

For music I'm using my JBL Metregon that i bought a few years ago but never had a place for.  It's a really great piece of furniture and its a rare one with the 3-way system. I'm pushing it with a Fisher 500C I've had since the 70's and a Thorens TD-125 with a Fidelity Research FR-64 and Denon 103 with a Fidelity Research step up.  It sounds great. It cant hold a candle to my main system (Mcintosh MC-30s/C22/Thorens TD-124-SME 3012-Ortofon SPU) with my beloved 1960 Vertical horn Cornwalls.

 

Its good to be back!!

Awesome setups and that Metregon is one beautiful piece of furniture as is that cabinet you built for the Heresys!  Welcome back and I hope it's an awesome retirement down the dirt road....sounds great!  

 

Seeing that Randolph Scott poster reminded me of that old Statler Brothers song my grandparents used to listen to on 8-track, "Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott".  Gonna have to find that on Spotify and listen to that right now!  

 

Ok, and YouTube.

I'm new here during your lapse so we've never met, which might be a good thing considering I'd like to know the GPS coordinates of that place, and a schedule of when nobody will be there for a couple hours.  :)

 

Seriously nice stuff!  Congrats.
