boomac Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Now that we are working on finishing the lower level, I have come to the conclusion that I have way too much in audio gear. There are too many amps and too many speakers for the available space. Therefore, after several difficult choices, I will offer several nice items to Forum Members prior to going the Audiogon or eBay route. Some gear may come off the table if another one happens to sell. That policy will help me avoid making further difficult decisions. Below is a list of what is currently available and anyone interested is welcome to e-mail or PM me for specific information. Klipsch Quartets in oiled oak Klipsch Heresys in oiled walnut Klipsch RC-3 II Center Channel Speaker Scott 299 Intigrated Amp NosValves rebuild Tandberg 2045 Receiver Sony SCD-C222ES SACD Changer Pro-Ject 1.2 Turntable with Sumiko Oyster CartridgeIf someone is interested in a virtually new pair of VRD Amps, I would consider parting with mine. I was able to pick up a Balanced Audio Technology Amp to match my Pre Amp. If I keep the VRDs I will have to go out and buy another quality pre amp and the object here is to downsize! OK, I bet some of you have to know. How do the VRDs compete against the BAT VK-55? Very well, indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Sent you an email. Hey Michael Colter- these Quartets have your name all over them! Also did a search on your VRD Amps! Vola here is what popped up! http://www.nosvalves.com/vrd.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Those VRDs are beauts! I heard them right out of the box and I'm pretty sure as soon as Allan and I left Wisconsin, they went right back in the box since the basement was about to undergo a remodel. If I were a betting man, I'd say there are about 2 hours on those babies. They could be a real deal for someone whose been thinking about buying a pair.

colterphoto1 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Kinda bad timing there Scott! I'll be in MILWAUKEE this weekend- going to the ballet (I know, don't laugh you guys) What the diff between Forte and Quartet? I had my mind made up on the Forte II for my next score. Can you PM price on Quartet's and photos please? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben. Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Nice of you to offer here first, Scott. If the wolves weren't currently camped out in my back yard, I'd seriously consider those HWO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Scott, if it doesn't work out that I get those Quartets, there's a guy on 2ch forum looking for Quartets, and he's in SE Iowa. I made a post on his thread about yours. Names Hach. But I sent you another PM, maybe we could make it work. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Man, that's harsh. I'm gonna be there in two days, the Quartets are SOLD and I didn't even get to drool on the photos. Tough guy to deal with, this Boomac.[] I'm sure they went to a good home. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Micheal, you can trust us Wi. members. Don't be too harsh on Boomac, he's just being fair and selling them to the first offer. He's doing the same with me. As you know, gotta act fast around here. I snoozed as well. But we will be at the border welcoming you to sunny Wi.

boomac Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Michael - Did you not see my post above? It was posted right around 11:00AM and I mentioned that I had not received your PM. I also asked if you had received the pictures and to e-mail me if you had not. There were five different members interested in the Quartets and had any one requested that I hold them for a few days I would have given them first dibs. The buyer e-mailed around 1:00PM to confirm that he wanted them. Seriously Michael, had you asked me to hold them till you got to town I would have agreed and put everyone else in line. You're still welcome to stop by and try and talk me out of my OW Forte IIs but that would be a chore! The Quartets were OO U NO. (oiled oak you know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Sorry Scott, didnt' think you'd take my post that critically. No, I wasn't hurt that much to not get them, you prob did me a favor. I didn't ask to be put in line, didin't even know where I stood. After reading that other poster's need for F or Q speakers, was kind of rooting for him anyway. Didn't mean to ruffle feathers. I know you and know you did the right thing. I am on a pretty tight schedule this weekend anyway. No harm, no foul. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Michael, You should pay Scott for not selling you another pair of speakers LOL!! You need more speakers like you need a hole in the head. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomac Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Craig, he's got plenty of speakers but does he have a 299 to make them sing?[] No worries Michael and no offense was taken. I was just worried that I might have misunderstood or screwed up in some way. I did learn that although I receive an e-mail message from someone via the Forum, I can't reply to them directly from that message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Craig, he's got plenty of speakers but does he have a 299 to make them sing?[] Nice! And actually a good suggestion. Hey Michael, they can even mail this thing to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
