    Vintage Speakers - and Pioneer SX780

    Hello all, First post - patience. I've been running a Pioneer SX780 for some time now, love Pioneer SX series. However, my speaker knowledge base often gets overrun with too many options. I want to run an A/B setup to play both, or just A depending on situation. Budget isn't a huge issue...

    Klipsch Sound Bars

    Anyone have a Klipsch sound bar? Any issues? I have a RSB-11 with a whistling noise in the left channel that I would like to fix. Not sure if it's a bad connection or component in the amp. Seems weird that it's only one side. Thanks

    Wharfedale W60 woofers

    Hello, all. I'm very pleased with early two-way ported Wharfedale W60s powered by a modified Magnavox 9303 tube amp, but I go back and forth with a pair of Smaller Advents for the sake of fuller bass. I wish I could add them to the 4 ohm taps on the Edcor OPTs (which have 4, 8 and 16-ohm taps)...

    KEF accuracy in a more sensitive speaker?

    What's up AK, I recently picked up a Sansui AU-7500 from CL. I'm currently running a pair of KEF LSX which I got for a great deal, but I just don't love having powered speakers and there's all sorts of little finicky issues with the app, inputs, etc... that made going back to a solid, reliable...

    Klipsch Tangent T50 rebuild

    The speakers came to me with the side off of one cabinet. I wonder about a spongy foam that is installed in the cabinet. It doesn't seem like a foam that a factory would use. Because the other cabinet has a loose side, I know it has the foam as well. Would Klipsch use foam in their cabinets...

    Klipsch KG 5.5 vis-a-vis Zu Dirty Weekend

    Choosing between a KG 5.5 OR Zu DW to pair with my Scott 222. Thoughts on how they would differ? Anybody matched either speakers to a low watt tube amp? Very slim picking in my part of the world, so not too many choices for highly efficient speakers.

    Klipsch Chorus-MA-400

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/262208588716802/?ref=facebook_story_share Just a heads up for anyone interested in Klipsch Chorus speakers. Priced at 400 in this ad, seems like a steal. I'm not interested and I'm not affiliated in the sale but hopefully an AK member gets em.

    I could use some advice on a TT for my system.

    I have a Dual 522 and wonder if I should keep it or get a new TT. Could I upgrade the 522 and how? Would a newer TT be better and what makes and models would be good. I would want to keep the budget around $500, but could be tempted to go a bit higher if it is really worth it. Currently running...

    Use subwoofer lfe or crossover?

    I recently got an svs pb1000 and am working with an onkyo tx-ds575x which has a sub pre out. I listen to music, mainly vinyl and the system is rarely used for tv/movies. I have two klipsch ksf 8.5 towers and I have set the receiver to recognize them as small. I am wondering wether it’s better...

    Does a recap improve the phono stage?

    Hi everyone out there, I've been trying to get my Rotel rp3000 and my sansui 2000x to play nice together. The speakers are currently Klipsch kg4.5's and a some cambridge audio s30's. It sounds good when I stream spotify thru a blue tooth receiver in the aux, but when I play records, not so...

    New Sansui 2000x - boomy and thin?

    Hi folks, I recently replaced my Nakamichi AV-2 with a Sansui 2000x and am surprised at the results. For a long time I wanted to jump into the classic silver face stereo scene, but nothing came up that was a good deal. The Sansui was in great shape cosmetically and almost dust free inside. I...

    KP-320 Recondition and sell or just sell as is??

    I just bartered my way into a pair of roughed up KP-320s and a single KP-450 woofer only cabinet. All the drivers work fine and the speakers appear to be balanced. I have only opened up one and it has the original crossover, and I suspect the other speaker has it's original crossover also. The...
