Keith, I sent you a PM on this.

Were Chorus II's ever made in light oak?? I'm not saying that they were not, but I don't recall seeing a pair. If Klipsch made these, I don't think they made very many. OTOH, the oak oil finish seems to be much more common.

For me, upgrading is rare. I tend to go with firmly established formats - I typically don't buy the latest and greatest gear either, because it is much more expensive. I like used, high quality stuff. My prepro (Krell) is two years old, my Klipsch average 12 years in age, my tuner is 25 years...

I will certainly second the salesman's recommendation on the Denon receivers, especially in light of your current difficulty. The Denons tend to be on the "warm" side - better suited to your acoustically live room. Many on the Klipsch forum use Denon, because they match well with Klipsch. The...

Check out this page: Tuner Info Page It's a geocities page, so sometimes the allocated data transfer is exceeded, so you may need to try it later. It's a great guide to sorting out those ebay deals on vintage tuners!

Glad to hear good news about your new Krell. It sounds much like my experience when I got my HTS. It was a wholesale improvement to my entire system. I am a "combo" user (HT/2CH) and it suits those needs well too. Huge improvement in my subs too - almost like getting new subs! I never...

I find this analogy to be very interesting!! Owning a home theater is very much like fantasy league sports/being a general manager. You must field a team, deal with salary cap issues, keep everything running smoothly, and snag that key "free agent" that takes your team over the top...

ling - Krell will not warranty items that are not purchased from Krell authorized dealers. Krell will warranty trade ins and demo units though, if purchased from an authorized Krell dealer. So if the buyer is looking at used Krell from a private party, there is no transferrable warranty...

It's all preference. Listen to both, and let your ears decide. As a Klipsch owner (2 Cornwall II's, 2 Chorus, and Academy center in my HT) I'll tell you the electronics hooked up to them are critical to getting the most out of them. The bad points of gear will show, and so will the bad...

I can't tell you about the Showcase, but I recently picked up the Krell HTS (original) from a dealer on closeout. It's a 5.1 DD/DTS unit (plenty for me, since I have no more room for big Klipsch). This unit produced an across the board, wholesale improvement in my setup. Simply astounding...

OK - count me in as one who has grown weary waiting for the Outlaw 950. Thanks for beating the 1066 to death in this thread! It makes decision making so much easier.... I've been reading complaints about audio dropouts at the DVD layer change and between some chapters. Does the Rotel 1066 have...

I recently listened to a Klipschorn setup with an AES preamp and Welbourne Labs Moondog Monoblocks (3.5 WPC) and what I heard from that setup was nothing short of mindblowing. I was skeptical too - I was raised on Solid State amplification combined with a taste for rock and roll - so I thought...

I sold audio in the past as well. My Choice? Klipsch (Heritage series in particular) - and our store didn't even sell them! I spent too much time buying speakers at cost from work, and being dissatisfied. I still got a deal though, since mine are used - on average I paid 40% of new for my...

"But what happens to the sound of your system when the volume knob moves clockwise?" It gets louder:D Lots louder:D:D 115 db is do-able clean. "Does the speaker start to compress, distort, lose bass, become harsh?" Nope!! "Does your amplifier clip?" Not even close. "Do your ears...

It looks like you've done a great job with your BFD! I just got one in the last month, and find it to be an incredible unit for the price. I was able to get excellent results with my JBL pro bass cabinets with my BFD - I was amazed that I was so successful. Truly good subbage will sometimes...

Excellent! I'll be curious to see what you think. I've got a Crown CE 1000 driving my JBL woofer cabinets, and I'm wondering if it's the best I can do. Should I go big home amp, or is "pro stuff" the way to go?

Robert, Now that I have more time...... When I researched amps about six months ago, I read extensively on Bryston products. My understanding based on reading a number of reviews was the Brystons are indeed a great amp - but when matched with Bryston preamps, DIVINE:D Also, the Klipsch match...

I sure wish I had a Bryston:) They really are a "can't miss" amp. If you have the dollars, it's a no brainer. Trouble is, I don't have the funds to get one (or two!) for my passive subs, let alone seven channels of Bryston bliss for the whole HT. I like my Outlaw 750 for the 5 channel amp, but...

Eric Haas said: "Actually Dave, going by popularity, I notice that Klipsch was the #1 speaker choice of participants. Klipsch may have a mixed reputation among enthusiasts, but it definitely has a sizable following on these boards." That's very interesting - I was not aware. I am "biased" to...

Understood, Brett! I'm used to not being in the majority re Klipsch, but I'm proud of my creation anyway! Besides, I've never been one to go along just for the sake of getting along:) I wouldn't change it if I had the chance - unless the prize was a set of SVS subs or somethin':)

(Besides mine, of course........) My vote goes to TimothyW - his "simple, yet effective" approach mirrors mine - a timbre matched, separates driven, big woofage powerhouse, with the B&W accuracy. His speaker choice is the antithesis of mine, but I'm sure those B&W are quite pleasing to listen...

The unit is sold. Thanks!

Unit still available....

Velodyne CT-150 subwoofer, 3 months old, absolutely mint. Original box, packing, manual, and shipping container included. Basically identical to the CHT 15, which lists at $799 (as did the CT-150 when it was current model). Shipping this puppy is problematic - it weighs 90 pounds packed, and is...
