Allan Songer Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 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!! 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 It's good to see you 🙂 I've made some system changes here (simplification) as I had what one would call "excess", after a bit of a forum hiatus myself. Remodeling, realigning, personally, financially, and in terms of system. Lots of changes.....but still very much Klipsch! Welcome back 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously nice stuff! Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I've thought of you often and wondered if your business came back up after some sluggish movie industry times. Nice gear! Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai2000 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Welcome back - I have been in exile for many years myself and - I admit - I spend much less time here than I used to - but Klipsch and the forum remain a part of my life - weird but true.

glens Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 5 acres at the end of a dirt road pretty much rules out riding a Harley as primary transportation. And decent Internet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
