Well folks, I have finally gotten to listen to my new RF7 ii's and the Denon AVR x4300H receiver...(only in stereo mode so far). It took me a little while to adjust some settings on the amp, but I am really happy overall with the sound. While this system may not be quite the system I had...

Thank you guys for helping out with this. I tried to do some listening first, but it really was just not practical, so I said "screw it", and ordered the Klipsch RF7ii's in walnut finish. I bought what they refered to as an "open box" version for a lot less than the $3200 retail, but I am...

Not sure about removing the panels on the 509 ( i knew there was a 510, but didnt even know a 509 existed), but your comment sparked a memory. Years ago when i had the M508 and P308 and also an onkyo cd player (cant remember model, but it did not have the wood panels), i built and installed...

Hmmm, thats not really me any more. While i as never content in my youth, i dont need the latest and greatest any more. Just looking for something pretty decent. If i bought new now, in a year i got the old stuff.

I'm glad you waited a few days before mentioning this, I might have called off my search altogether. After some reading and exploring though, I believe that I can find something that will satisfy me, and amaze a lot of folks. While I am going to go with new equipment, your advice of estate...

Ok, i know i am going round and round here.... i also know i should obviously listen first, and i said that although i liked my old Klipsch Belles and have referenced some of their newer speakers as examples here, i was not set on them. That said, i have found where i can get some RF-7ii's for...

Thanks for the good advice. Yes, there have been a lot of suggestions and I have been confused a little, but it has all helped me do my research. We do have a BestBuy in Pcola, although I am not certain of the "Magnolia" dept. I have seen the term online, but wasn't really sure what it...

Does anyone know of any shops in Pensacola FL or Mobile AL area?

No need for apologies, I totally understand and do not really disagree. Its just that I already have them and built some nice mounts, and that I dont hate them.... So, could I add a set of something like a MartinLogan motion 20, or equivalent and make this work? I think the Klipsch RP280 is...

I figured that a new thread would make more sense for this particular question, as I thought it was pretty off target from my original post. You bring up a good point about the 901s and HT. I don't really understand HT theory at all, but am assuming there would be a timing delay with the...

Hi all, I am in a pickle trying to decide what I want to do (see thread "Got the bug again after 30 yrs"), and this is one option that I am thinking about.... I think this has been discussed before here, but not really the same situation. I have a little Bose Lifestyle 12 that is old, but was...

Here is where I am at right now.... I never really got one of the direct answers I was looking for (how will a new $3000 stereo actually sound as compared to my old one?), but it was pretty loaded. After reading replies and doing a little more research, it seems pretty obvious that a new...

Great info all, thank you much. I think I am getting the picture, and I still have some research to do for sure. NAD was one of the amps I first noticed when browsing, as was the Marantz (I remember some really nice Marantz's back in the day for sure, and even had an old quadraphonic one for...

Thanks for all the tips. I agree with tmtomh, in that $3000 is probably a weird number as far as a quality system goes. Looking around, I think I will be way over $3000 to get the sound that I had 25 years ago, even buying retro. I think if I ever really get hooked again and want to do...

Hi all, I have recently gotten the stereo bug again after 30 years, and this is my 1st post here! I have been out of the loop for a long long time, but have recently taken up a love of good music (if you consider prog rock good music)... I have had lots of talks with my son about the good old...
