I think the TU-717 will be running closer to $300(or more occasinally) at least on ebay. I watched them recently for a couple months before I picked something up. The TU-9900 might well run up to, or over, $500 in stock form, depending on conditio...

klipsch speakers,be honest
Marco/Sean,Thanks for the thoughts. All the discussion about modding LaScalas makes me wish I still had mine, but they've been gone nye-twenty years now. I'm guessing Marco is pondering his LaScalas at this point ("...I love what I have....but wha... 
klipsch speakers,be honest
Jax,The fatigue for me is the mid to top end of things. The horns seem to be in my face too much. The bass in the Fortes are lower than the Chorus, even though the Chorus runs a 15 inch woofer. The Chorus-I rolls off around 45 Hz(the Fortes go dow... 
klipsch speakers,be honest
Jax,We traded a few posts & emails a month or two ago as I was trying to improve the sound of my Chorus I's. Since then the SS equipment is gone and replaced with all tube from the CDP through power. Tubes made a BIG improvement in the sound o...
