Selling a Hafler DH500
Locally, on CL, FB has a for sale section, the Bay, if someone is willing to pay for boxing / shipping. People rebuild them, so, USAM ( usaudiomart ), is another place. Locally, or if shipping it, you would need to determine, if it is working, or ... 
Recommended Speaker Design for Corner / Near-Wall Placement?
If you can find a mint, used pair of NHT 3.3s, they would work great. Had a pair. with a monster ss amp, quite the reproduction. Still liked horns better, so, like so many others, I sold them. I am a Khorn fan, so.......... 
Advice/Warnings for a newbie
roberjerman cannot hear these differences, so he makes claims, these differences do no exist. They do exist, just listen for yourself, and with the system you put together, it will not be hard to hear.  
How Does a "HI-LEVEL IN" Affect Impedance Load?
Not much, if any at all. This is how I have my sub amps connected. I do recommend, however, the same type and size wire, as to your mains, if at all possible, for the best sq, based on my experience. Enjoy !, and be well. 
Has anyone tried a rubberized coating on older Klipsch tweeters?
Thanks for the mention, tomic. The horns on the RF3, and series 2, handle much of the midrange as well as the treble, as they are a 2 way, based on the crossover point to the woofers. Dynamat is a great material to use, but some of my clients want...

Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns
If your Khorns are stock, I would recommend updating / replacing the crossovers. I also recommend, damping the mid horns and tweeters, using a product such as Dynamat. There are youtube videos discussing and showing how this is done. The metal bra... 
Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"??
Watching this youtube video, my one thought is : his placement of his 5 901's is atrocious. Yet, he feels it sound great. I would not think so, based on my experience, with the many pair I installed.  
Power Amplifier To Pair with Klipsch KLF-20's
Have you tried it, without a source, connected to the amp ?   
Power Amplifier To Pair with Klipsch KLF-20's
1st, you do not need a preamp ( a passive would do ), and if you went direct from your source ( your source would neeed a volume control ), to your 5800, you likely would not hear any noise. 2nd, damp the horns ( both mids and tweets, and the woof... 
How Do You Live The Audiophile Life
If you are speaking to me........Yes, I know he plays a Fender Tele, which goes through an amplifier. All electrics, go through an amplifier....the use of a reverb, is to get a type of sound. I prefer, less reverb, which is my personal preference.  
How Do You Live The Audiophile Life
Once a performer plays / sings into a microphone, or mixing console, you have lost all truth, all reality, all the accuracy, of said instrument or voice. Recordings are limited, and the playback gear, is purchased, to try to reassemble it, back to...

How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present
Michelle, as a retired audio consultant, I need to always place the sound quality of a speaker ( an entire system, actually ) before aesthetics. I have always maintained a separate, dedicated listening room, and my ex wife knew this of me when we ...
