Marantz PM-17 w/RF-83s

I just got an unbelieveable deal on a pair of Klipsch RF-83s. My Marantz PM-17 Amp only has 60 watts/channel, but I know that Klipsch recommends you use lower powered amps, but I am wondering if this is too low as the RF-83s are 250 watts/channel. Should i think about more power, or stick with what I...

Re: Am I a dark hearted traitor

James, mom thinks the RF/C-52 stuff is "attractive", her way of saying "not much". The HIII's are awesome and my lilscala project is on hold for a bit, as I have software issues to work out. The real bottom line is that the GF loves the RF/C-52 stuff, she has both her tv and music...

Re: Bose 901

I remember my first time hearing 901's..thought they had toilet paper stuffed in them...of course I came from a home w/Khorns and a Heresy center. I just figured Bose was an east Coast thing. In all fairness, speaker taste is like anything else, there are objective measurements, the industrial series...

Re: Interesting Article: "The Death of High Fidelity"

So bloody true...real High Fidelity is dying except for a few diehards. Most of this is because of the iPod thing and peoplel getting used to listening to sampled music, coupled with the drive by some major manufacturers to make things house friendly, eg tiny speakers and a subwoofer, like the Bose Acoustimass...

Re: P39 or Jubilee's---------HELP!!!!

Ya know the Palladium may have been driven by Marketing, pushing Engineering to make something more competitve in the high end speaker market. Honestly, I know I am a dark hearted traitor, but I really like my RF stuff way better than my Hesesy II's, which just suffered a crossover failure after...

Re: P39 or Jubilee's---------HELP!!!!

I agree...I get more joy out of three hours of Muay Thai than I get out of any speaker. My mom has 1962 KHorns, I own a new RF/RC/RW system, I like it better than my Heresy II's, regardless a speaker system to faithfully reproduce movie and music soundtracks, which it does. full stop. It neither...

Re: Heresy IIs are just terrific

[quote user="blsamuel"] [quote user="mfk"] I just called Klipsch Parts, first of all they assured me all is made in Arkansas, and the cost is $272 per speaker, new woofer, midrange, tweeter, gaskets, screw, etc. This is a totally great deal. [/quote] MFK - that is a great deal. Love...

Re: Palladium Review

I've worked with many foreign Navys, from Germans, this translatates to "PDG", even Outstanding. Everytime we play in their park we are the away team, and to get this kind of praise from them, is quite good. Now the trick is to get this known in the USA.

Re: Bose 901

This is about the 901 - the world's most overrated speaker, but Amy Unger, I hope you take some notice of this rather long winded posting: I remember when I first moved back east to go to College, I grew up in Carlsbad, CA, where every good home, including ours had a stereo; a pair of ' 62 Khorns...

Re: Need some opinions

No way, go with the RF-83, maybe an RC-64 in addition, the center channel does add presence. As a guy who has grown up with Heritage series equipment, I see the RF series as a serious step in evolution. As an owner of both Heritage and RF series, I prefer the RF series for listening. Geez, the Cornwall...
