1979 Belle Klipsch Speakers in Teak finish. $3000 Excellent condition. Not new, of course. Installed Crites upgraded crossovers. (Originals included) New Crites Tweeters (Originals included) Finish is clean and black speaker fabric has no tears or snags. You can read reviews and specs online. (But you already know them) If you are looking at these, you know what you want! Hard to find a pair of Belles in this condition for this price. (Check and see what you get for $2K) Cannot ship, but can assist with local delivery or loading. 125# each Thanks for looking.

If you were to consider just selling them, what would be the price? Thanks jobman

Thank you all for the replies. Issue solved. (and no hammers needed - LOL)

How do I get the backs off my KG 5.2's? Do they even come off? My '85 Cornwall backs just unscrew. THanks

Lurking lately, but will always be here.

I had Craig clean up my 500c a few years ago. He did a great job. It is excellent and now in daily use. I have a 300b and a Monarchy SM70 as amps also, but I just love the sound of the 500c overall. I alternate driving my RB5's or the Silverline Sonata 2's. (The RB5's give the Sonata's a good run for the money. Just not as deep in the bass) I would not sell the 500c. I know the value has gone up considerably since I bought mine, but when a component works and you are happy with it, why change? (and this from a guy who shuffled gear in & out like a mover)

I have been using a Rega Planer 3 for the last 5 years,. I bought it from another forum user. I upgraded most everything but the RB300 arm. Wonderful table, and with the upgrades, it would take a $1500 table to beat it. That is one of the good things about it. It is solid on it's own, but can be modified easily to be a high end, budget table.

Kind of late to the party, but I concur with other Duet owners. I have had mine for 2 years. It runs through my CIA DAC, then into the preamp. Not a whole lot of difference in the audio quality, as the Duet is very good, but enough of a difference in my main system for me to keep the DAC. Convenience is great, programming my own radio station is cool, and just playing any song or album I have on the spur is awesome. Regards Mike - now in Cameron Park

Yep, Craing was my next step. Couldn't hurt to have him check everything anyway. jobman

The fuse on my 500c blew. I think with the recent heat, the reciever just got to warm, even though it is in a well ventilated space. I replaced the fuse, and power is on, but no output to the speakers. I tried a different pair of speakers, no sound. I tried headphones, no sound. Is there another fuse I am just not finding, or did I also blow an output tube? Thanks in Advance Jobman2000 Mike in Vallejo, CA.

I use the PW8R15AUD 15 Amp, 8 Isolated Receptacle unit for all my misc. components and HT system. I use the PW2RAUD 2 Receptacle unit for my 2 channel system with my Silverline 300b and my MF CD player. They have been the best I have used so far. No noise, no reduction in sound quality, no softening or veiling of the music. I tried several from Monster and one from PS (I forget which), but these are so far the best, especially for the price. I also have the 2 outlet unit plugged into a dedicated 20amp circuit that uses a PS port outlet. I have been very happy so far. I am sure that there are better out there, but at a much higher price.

I just installed the exact same Dish reciever on Sunday. I used the Toslink to my Marantz 8400, reassigned the input in the setup menu of the Marantz and I have great 5.1. I am amazed at all the programming that SHOULD be 5.1, but is only in stereo. Especially music programs. Jobman

If you can't get the Espressimo weight, may I make a suggestion? I have the Gooovetracer counterweight on my Rega P3 and RB300 arm, and it is awesome. (Thanks again for selling me the table Jazman!) Link: http://www.groovetracer.com/ The owner, Frank, is the kind of guy you can just pick up the phone and talk to about your setup and what you want to do. He even has a P3 in his lobby/office. His quality is top notch. I also have modified my P3 with his acrylic platter and subplatter. I was originally looking at a variety of products to make these changes, but Franks quality and service led me to try him instead. I know this sounds like I might be the marketing guy for Groovetracer, but I am just a happy and satisfied customer who does not have a problem recommending a good product I have experience with. I have pretty much gone about as far with this Rega as I can. (Other than adding a VTF adjustment) I upgraded the wiring and put on a Shelter 501. From everything else I have heard, it would take maybe over $3k to buy better performance than I have. Best of luck in your pursuit. It is a FUN hobby! Jobman

I have actually taked to him, although I was not able to have him come out to my house or listen to his amps. He is VERY customer service oriented, and wants to make sure you get an amp that suits your room, your musical tastes and your ears. He offered on 2 occasions to come to my house to let me demo equipment. He is good at follow up and seems very sincere. I have recently purchased another 300b amp, so I will not be listening to his, but if I needed another one, I would certainly call him. Jobman
