| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I believe what Nelson Pass is indicating, is that with many sources, and in a perfect world ( system match ), passive would be ideal. However, he knows, as most of do, the perfect world does not exist. Just my interpretation of all my readings. En... | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel Heresys are the way to go. Adding a powered sub, later if need be ( cranking Deep Purple loud ). They will be cleaner than any of the other Klipsch mentioned here. The best way to connect a powered sub ( providing the sub has the connections ) is ... | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel @gavinja70..How will the speakers be set up in this spare bedroom ? Is the spare bedroom a dedicated listening room, or is it a bedroom with the addition of a good stereo ? How large is this room ? MrD. | |
| What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus Very familiar with the model 19s. The lack of coherence ( between the woofer and horn ) is something I cannot live with. As far as the B&Ws, never have I heard a pair that can reproduce the trumpet playing of Miles as accurately as my Lascalas... | |
| To Finish modding or not I would not do the mods, because these will not be your last amps, and you will never get the return when you sell them. What is upstream to the amplifiers that you feel they are the weakness ? Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? George , I tried to PM you, w/o success. If you could PM me, that would be great. I have had a few passives, but none were exceptional. The particular room and system I would be using it in would be : CD, mostly redbook, modified Sony SACD player,... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Not a new thread of this topic, again ( and yes, there are differences ). Sheesh........Enjoy ! MrD. | |

| What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus Where are you located, as I will buy, for the right price, your Lascalas. I guess from your other thread, you are not interested in doing the midhorn damping ? Too Bad, as it is very significant in how this cleans things up. Maybe try a smaller, h... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @basement I totally agree !.....Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? The chassis seems to be used for several pieces of equipment, including amplification, so maybe it is economical ? I like the looks of the heatsinks. @georgehifi I might be ready to try an LDR unit, so what do you think ? Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Best place to get an old solid state amp fixed up? @hammy1750, as a newbie here, welcome. Someone on USAudiomart is selling one for ( says working fine ) for $250, with external ps. Another recently just sold at $350., in mint condition. It is your money, but I am advising you to take the loss and... | |
| How much power can a pair of Klipsch La Scalas take ? As I stated in my earlier post, back in 1970, Klipsch used metal mid horns, which, at a louder volume, would ring and resonate. I believe this is what you are responding to. I suggest Dynamat, or another type of damping material, to dampen the out... | |
| Best place to get an old solid state amp fixed up? I would work with the shop that repaired it, since you obviously paid them. How much do you want to invest to get it " like new ", since it went up in flames ? | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Dampening the midhorns will not only rid the H-111s of the slight chestiness you speak of, but the lower resonant, less vibratory and cleanliness of the mid horn will clean up the entire speaker. I promise. Enjoy ! MrD. |
