Apollon AS1200 ICEPOWER class D amp in da house
FYI, georgehifi, makes negative comments about many things, including horn speakers, and amplifiers with mosfet output stages, two things I enjoy. I still like the guy, and cannot imagine these threads without him.  
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
RIAA, would I to assume, you are billion$baby ? I have been doing these mods for years on Klipsch, and it is good to see, someone other than the typical Klipsch guys doing it, and taking the crossover to another level. In fact, I have been enjoyin... 
Carver ZR-1600 amplifier
To answer your question, although a bit late..........YES, adapters are common in use. Enjoy ! 
Amp, One Set of Speaker Connections Or Two?
Bi = Two ....Speaker switching, A and B, has been explained, above. It has all been explained above, with consistency and, with some simplicity. Obviously, someone here does not feel biamping is all that, and I, feel it is. Other than that......so... 
Amp, One Set of Speaker Connections Or Two?
Millercarbon, and everyone here, Happy New Year. Miller, as always, you are very opinionated, and I disagree with you on this particular subject. I encourage, vertical, passive biamping, to many of my clients, and not once have they though of goin... 
What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
Did not own them, but I spent some time in a studio, a friend of mine co-owned, and in their large sound room, was a pair of Augspurger Design studio monitors that were, well, fun ! I would, exchange my Lascalas for a pair of those. I remember the... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
Why was this thread not started in the " CABLES " section ?  Lots of posts in 10 days here about such a significant, audible improvement to be had, by doing this. I find, isolating all of my cables, mechanically away from floors and walls, and eli... 
Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ?
Two buddies of mine living in the NY area, and both who happen to own "63s, used Sheldon Stokes to work on their speakers. They both cannot say enough about the positive experiences they both had. Just an fyi.....A Happy and healthy holiday to all.  
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
Not to change directions on the subject of the Coda preamp, or intend to put it down in any way, as I have not heard it, but I own a Luminous Audio passive, top of the line, single ended unit. I prefer it, in my system, to any active line stage I ... 
Time to move UP, speaker-wise...
On another recent thread ( amp thread, I believe ), someone was using a pair of Nuforce STA 200’s in vertical biamp configuration, on his Vandy 2ci sigs ( a fairly new pair ), and is quite happy with the results. Just an fyi. The Klipsch RP 280 F ... 
Need help building my late fathers Audio Setup for Family XMAS dinner.
baldo, where in Florida are you ? I am in central Florida, and if you can make it to me, I am sure I have an amplifier in my collection you can use for this holiday dinner. I have amps with single ended inputs ( rca ), as well as balanced inputs (... 
Need help building my late fathers Audio Setup for Family XMAS dinner.
As above. Hello baldo, and Merry Christmas to you and yours. If your mom listens to the system twice a year, there should be a power amplifier connected to the speakers. But, as your listing of the equipment shows, you are missing the power amp, u... 
Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup?
The things you are looking for in a sound system, such as a wide soundstage, great 3 D imaging, airy voices, and great details with smooth yet realistic sounds, has more to do with the speakers, the set up between the speakers and your listening s... 
New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps?
My new ( 2nd ) CRV Touring, can transport a pair of Klipsch Lascalas, to, and from, various locations rather easily, with economy, safety, and reliability. Best vehicle for me.......just sayin.....Happy Holidays to all, and....Enjoy ! MrD. 
Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used.
You just missed out on a pair of Klipsch Heresy IIs advertised on CL, not far from you, at an asking price of $300. If I did not have so many speakers around, I would have picked them up. They were in very nice shape. I feel I am at a loss, at tha...
