    Recommend a new class A solid state amp? Inexpensive?

    might dip my toe into one. Have Klipschorns, Cornwall’s, Heresy’s, and JBLs. Wondering what I’m missing on the source end. A little afraid of tubes.... just don’t want to spend a ton. Currently using a KR-9600. Wondering what to expect? Help?

    Klipschorns/Cornwall’s together A/B

    Grabbed a set of Cornwall’s a few weeks ago, hooked them up as B speakers on a KR-9600 having the Khorns as A. Have just been switching between the 2 to compare. Today I put them both into play A+B. Wow, what an amazing sound. I think I’ve reached nirvana for this setup. Positioning might not be...

    New to me Cornwall’s

    just got them home after a days worth of driving..... they have upgraded Crites crossovers and tweeters. Are in fantastic shape and have consecutive serial numbers. Have them in place for now, will hook them up and give them a listen this afternoon. I’m pumped, have been looking for years for a...

    Filters, bass, treble, loudness, all the same?

    Do these controls basically do the same thing? I’ve got a Kenwood KR-6600 that has high and low filters, bass and treble, accoustic filters and loudness. I know they’re just a way to increase or decrease frequency, but do most receivers actually vary each control the same range or is each...

    Cornwall help please

    Looking at these. Looks like somebody added the black paint over the raw birch on the face, and added glass tops. Haven’t ever seen the black fronts with raw birch sides as a factory look? The serial number shows 1983. Do they look right for that? Screw terminals for wire connections?

    Needle moves too quickly at start to grooves of record

    sorry for the thread title.... The problem I’m having is, on my manual PL-41, as soon as I lower the needle, if it’s not exactly at the beginning of the grooves, or start of record, it zips and skips over the first few grooves designed to pull it into the start. If I lower the needle out at...

    KR-9600 bass control problem

    Been in the family since new. Brought it out of storage a few years ago and had it serviced.....which, ended up being some light cleaning. Anywho, at the time, the tech said the bass control needed a LOT of cleaning and working to get the scratchiness out of it. As time passed, it came back, and...

    MA-5100 purchase?

    I’m about to dip my toe in the McIntosh pool..... just curious to know opinions on it. I’ve got a set of Khorns I’m wanting it to power. Until this, all I’ve used were Kenwood receivers. Not looking to spend lots of money and this looks like a great option. Power isn’t a huge concern due to the...

    Warren Buffet, music store story

    Local record shop who’s owners name is Warren, had these shirts printed up as the locals call his place “Warren’s Record Buffet” (think place to eat). Anyway, since he’s in Omaha he figured he’d use Warren Buffets name and likeness till he finds out, then make use of the free publicity if he...

    Requested Christmas gift. Just got a chance to try them out. Starting with Norah Jones. So far I like it. I’m guessing my wife does too. Gotta get this cord thing worked out though.... have a couple different ones, now 2 connected to get the length I want. Really is a nice experience. Much...

    Gotta say it sounded great

    Hadn’t been listening to much music over the last few months, Maybe not at all... to much going on. Last night after dinner I put Diana Krall in my Onkyo CD player connected to my KR -6600 and sent it to the Klipschorns. Wow, that sounded nice. Moved on to Rod Stewart then Roberta Flack. Just...

    Static/noise issue on album.

    I've got an album (Ray Price) that I've cleaned and has no visible issues. But when I play it, during vocals, it has static while Ray Price sings. You don't hear it during music, just evident when he sings. Not noticeable on other albums..... any ideas? I'm guessing it's just the album, can't...

    Garage system....

    Good trade or not?

    I've offered my 1978 Klipschhorns with rebuilt Crites crossovers as trade on a brand new in the box from a retailer, set of black Cornwall III's. Who makes out?

    help with a bouncy Pioneer PL-A45D turntable

    So I've got a PL-A45D that the foam inside the springs has deteriorated. Whether it's the lack of foam or the design in general, it seems pretty "bouncy" in regard to foot falls. Would re-installing some foam in the springs help or is it just the nature of the beast.....? One other question...

    Help with Stevie Wonder album?

    I'm not all that knowledgeable about the different recordings or pressings on records... That said, I just purchased Songs In The Key of Life off of Amazon and I'm wondering how I know what sort of pressing or what the quality is? Where do I look for that info? Here's a photo of the album..

    Just ordered new badges from Klipsch

    I've had a set of Heresy II's for quite awhile. When I bought them, they were missing both the Klipsch badges. I've lived with it for years, looking for the OEM from time to time. Every time I find a set, they're way to much $$. Today I ordered the current pie logo replacement for the...

    Cramped system in my study....

    Been wanting a turntable in my study but I really just don't have the space, so I'm trying this.... It consists of a mint little SX-434 with a PL-A45D turntable feeding a set of Heresy II's with Crites crossovers and upgraded titanium diaphragms. The room is small and the Heresy's don't...
