Erukian Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I got a pair of RB-25's. With my harman-kardon 340 they feel held back, with my Yamaha CA-800 it opens em up BIG time and at loud volumes I literally feel like i'm leading the orchestra -- but it died and is too expensive for me to find repair work on it. Anyhoo, I want something good that can power these 75W max speakers. Anybody want some cash by selling me a receiver/amp? I dont know if this is the place for selling 2 channel audio equipment, but I feel I can trust the majority of you Klipschers over just some random dood off the internet. If your willing to sell one of your babies please reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 In a week or so, I'll know whether I'm going to be able to lock down this old Fisher I've been after. If I do, you're more than welcome to my Onkyo P-2300 preamp and M-5000 amplifier. They've seen better days cosmetically, and the remote is long gone, but for $300, they'll give you plenty of juice to power those little monsters, and do so very cleanly. They've driven my JBL S38's faithfully for the last 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Landau Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 A friend of mine is selling a Plinius 8150, integrated amp, in mint condition. He's asking $1000 for it (msrp was $3K). Please email me if you're interested and I'll give you his contact info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 My ex-wifes 70s vintage solid-state Nikko receiver was very smooth sounding, with good bass control. It was worth spending a $150 to bring it back to life. Better than cheap Sony receiver I compared it with (about $500) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erukian Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 I know this might sound "crazy" but i'm just a college student looking to get the most out of my system. If I can get a amp/receiver for under 150 that you know rocks with klipsch stuff, then cool. But I cant afford these $300-1000 receiver/amps... sorry.

scott0527 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Based on the latest Ebay sales I'll sell you a mint Mac MC240 for $4000.00 No, I guess I'm keeping that one. I do have this Yamaha RX 570 receiver that has been stored in it's original box for about 8 years now. It was in perfect condition when I put her away. 70 Watts X 2. I bought it 1993 new. I remember loving it with some PSBs that I had back then. If you're interested, let me know. Audiogon Bluebook says it's worth $120.00 for whatever that's worth.

Ask around a little and you can probably find someone who will *give* you a solid state amp or receiver that he's put in the closet when he bought a home theatre receiver. There are literally millions of situations like that. If you live in a dorm, I'd recommend only used average stuff that no one would want to steal anyway. If you want to buy new and inexpensive, I'd go to Best Buy and see if they have a Panasonic or JVC digital multi-channel receiver (you can use it as just a two-channel) that is on clearance or open box.

Griffinator Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Get a Sony stereo receiver from BB for $150. It's not great, but in a dorm it'll work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erukian Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 I have a working Harman Kardon 340, but after i tried out the yammi ca-800 it totally opened up the system. I want the natural sound of a HK with the power that the Yammi gave me. But on a budget, is it possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Possible, but not likely. You can't touch a new Yammy for that price. You'll have to do some digging on Audiogon and Ebay, and probably your local pawn shops, to find an older Yammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theryugobuddy Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I've got a 100-watt Adcom GFA 545 power amplifier on eBay ending today -- just look at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5737350234&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Its in beautiful shape, and it was too strong for my small home office--I replaced it with a 60 watt Adcom. It cranks- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott0527 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Doesn't anybody read posts these days? I just offered a 70 Watt Yammy with barely any use in your price range. Then again, I know nothing about the Yammy's so maybe an early 90's receiver isn't considered a true Yammy. I always liked it though. I used to crank a lot Primus on that thing. My Name is Mud.

Tomski Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Is the 340 20 watts per ch? Id look for a used larger wattage HK Of course I like the i series,or the used NADs,Rotel Tomski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 the 340's 20 watts is plenty, you won't be using more than one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Erukian, What Tomski said. Since you like the H/K 340 sound (or is that 430?) just get a higher-powered one of the X30 series, which many people here have recommended over the years. The H/K 930 is 45W I believe, which will be sufficient. Try on eBay under combinations of variant spellings, because the name is frequently misspelled.

Tomski Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Does Paully want a cracker? JK Tomski I do think more power would give him better sound/dynamics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
