notneB Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I am thinking about buying from this guy the k-horns and belles, any feedback from Houston or anywhere else about it? Also, I run a Technichs SA-A610 5x100 channel, I know I don't need the power, but will I hurt them? http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?spkrfull&1069092611 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Hi, The Technics amp will definitely not hurt the big klipsch. You'll probably never approach 10W, let alone 100W into those horns. If you do, I hope you're wearing earplugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDBRbuilder Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 That Technics will be fine for a beginning rig for Klipschorn and Belle Klipsch speakers. They are rated at MAX input of 105 WPC. Beware, though...you will hear things you never heard before with these speakers. They are very revealing of weaknesses upstream in your components. You will be hearing things, both good and bad...good in that the music will be amazing...bad in that equipment feeding signals into the speakers will show all the flaws of the equipment...such is the way in big old horns! I would imagine that you will be swapping that Technics out for something else in the near future...likely some of your other components, too!

Frzninvt Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Also be careful with dealings with Put Seumson (spelling ?), if you are nearby and can inspect the speakers in person I would highly advise it. Do not give him his initial asking price, haggle it down some. He buys the stuff locally as cheap as he can and looks for big profits. One of our forum members here had some dealings with him at one point and he was not exactly forthright. Proceed with caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy81 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Pictures of the Belles are now up on the site. They seem less than in good condition. What happened to the one with the Black grilles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notneB Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 Thanks for the input guys, but as I am in central Wisconsin and cannot see/audition any of them, I think I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
