Stu Pidass Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 I've been running '81 Cornwalls since new with a Technics New Class A 70 watt amp from the same vintage. In the past while I've noticed crackling noises intermittantly from each speaker. Prior to trying diaphram replacements among other suggestions from the BB I hooked up my new Marantz SR 8000 A/V reciever. To my amazement all hints of this problem are gone. Also gone is the harsh top end. It's been replaced with a warm tube-like sound. The soundstage and imaging are vastly improved. Marantz SR 8000 and Vintage Klipsch speakers are a match made in heaven. I am stunned and find myself loving two channel audio more than ever. Anyone considering a new amplifier running vintage Klipsch owes it to themselves to give Marantz a shot. You won't be sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
