Op amp Rolling?
Thank you for your thoughts. I’m looking at replacing 3 Texas Instruments op amps (TL082) with Burr Brown OPA2134s.  I think the numbers on the specs make sense—at least where I shouldn’t do damage. Any thoughts??

Can’t agree more with Wolf. Some member noted on a different thread that if Schitt used a front switch, better remote, and slicker chassis the unit would easily exceed $1k or $1.2k.  I think that’s a good point. I cant find fault with it on substa...

tomcarr, Yes, I have one.  I just got it based on a member's recommendation.  He (assuming he was a he--we need more women audiophiles!) was right-- The Freya is really great especially for the money.  I haven't compared it to a bunch of other ded...

Manley Chinook with (very) low output MC ZYX?
Thanks Johnss!Do I need to desolder the existing opamps?  I can do it, but I just want to know what I'm getting into.

Dweller, I can't disagree.  I haven't had to confront that problem because my listening chair is an Eames lounge chair and it puts my ear height quite low, low enough to be near perfect. But, when my wife wants a sofa up here I'm gonna have to dea...

@johnss Can you answer the question above about the opamp upgrade?  Do we change out all 3?

OZ, I've tried everything and this sounds best in this room with my stuff.  I mean everything.  FYI--the distance apart (listed above) is actually within Klipsch manual guidelines.

Several weeks ago I purchase Forte IIIs.  They are listed as Heritage yet someone on a different thread begged to differ and I'm not really sure. They are wonderful loudspeakers.  I disclosed my previous anti-Klipsch bias as well as my use of Tote...

@wolf_garcia Did you dampen your Heresy IIIs?  It looks like you said you did but I couldn't tell with all of your humor! I'd be open to dampening my Forte IIIs but I'd like to hear and see about it first.  I've never cracked them open. Tonight, i...
