CD Player Recommendation: Krell or Adcom? And, which will mate well with...
The Adcom GCD-750 is a very fine sounding CDP especially for a multi disc player, although the carousel mechanism is pretty noisy.  Can't say much about the Krell but do agree about the CA 840C, I own one now and have owned two others before.Bill 
a b&k 442 amp in disguise??
About the "price you paid", WOW.I have gotten some good deals($70.00 Heresys), but nothing would compare to free Khorns.Bill

Tomtab,If you are not already a member, come on over to the Klipsch Forum.  I am sure you have plenty to contribute.https://community.klipsch.com/Bill

That is a good deal.I thought everyone had a stereo in a spare bedroom.  I have my NAD rig with a pair of Heresy I's(CT125) in my guest bedroom.Bill

Pop the hood and look inside. Google(images) both amps and compare to yours.I do know one thing, the 442 came with 4 large power caps while the 202 has 2.Oh, and if you are going to use it to drive your Khorns, either amp will never break a sweat.... 
JL Audio e112 sub vs. JL Audio Fathom 112 v.2
Dweller,I did not know you were just joking. My bad.Bill

I think he meant main(s) as front speakers.Bill 
klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
Cohort replying here.It is funny how someone else can argue what another one hears/heard.I actually believe the B&K 202 probably does sound better than the Parasound 3500 with the Khorns. With my 30 year old speakers I too would(have) "update"...

I am totally amazed how easily offended some are in this day and time.  As mentioned, we are talking about speakers here not politics, some are acting like the OP insulted their mother and stole their grandmother's entire retirement cache.I am def...

klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
From my point of view(who cares, right), I thought Tomtab used quite a bit of tongue in cheek in his commentary and did not mean any real personal criticisms in his words.  As most of you know, opinions on music, stereo gear, speakers, etc. are so...

Come on folks, Tomtab was not insulting anyone. He was just debunking the myths. As many do know, the Klipschorn  with the right amplification/source in the right room can sound incredible.Bill 
klipschorns, they kick ass for sure
Tomtab,I completely concur with your assessment of Khorns, minus the "insults".As large as they are, they can completely disappear in a room.  Talk about loud, how about low level detail?  Glad you are in music nirvana.Bill 
What receiver should I buy?
My buddy is running a full RF-7 system(RF-7's, RC-7. RS-7's, RSW-15) in an 18W x 23L x 8H with an Onkyo TX-NR5009(same as the Integra 70.4) and believe me it is not lacking grunt.  Very dynamic with action movies and never seems to break a sweat. ... 
Any vocals that you like?
Spencer,Thanks for the heads up.  I will do that.Funny thing is that Rodgers' voice has not deteriorated in any way, shape, or form in the last 30 years.  That can't be said about most vocalists in their 60's.  Especially rock vocalists.Bill
