    I'm the hoarder trying to thin out, hehe. Finally had a son and daughter move out and can make the final move to our little beach house. 7000 to 1800 sq ft has been a big challenge to figure out. Have tried to get rid of the big items locally, and will be ready to ship a few pieces soon. Not looking to sell everything on the list - just need to thin out.

    A few pieces were bought here - Belles pre from George, Maggies from Falconcry, Plat7 from Skip, LSi7's from Rooftop, and likely a few others. If one of the Dayens amps (both bought used) sells, I'll keep the remaining one. Likewise for the better DAC's and streamers.

    If anyone is interested in something, PM me and I'll get you the friendly face Polkie discount price.

    The Lsi7 would be good for spare parts as well if you had other Lsi speakers. Missing the wood panels might be a deal breaker for some.

    I was thinking somebody could rebuild the cabinets. And then you wouldn’t be limited to black gloss and Ebony/Cherry, you could have any finish (es) you’d like.
    Just measure the side panels on an existing pair (or find measurements), pull the veneer off the old cabinet, and build new side panels, then veneer. Probably is harder than it sounds, but it doesn’t sound hard. :)

    Congrats on all that. I’m sure it will be nice to finally have one system and not need to decide between a bunch of things lol.

    If I had cash I’d be hitting you up about a couple of those streamers but I’m broke and in debt to a polkie so I better pay him off first lol.

    Yes, I got that. and I still stand by what I said. There is just some gear out there that has a reputation above and beyond...those names include Pass Labs, D'Agostino, Conrad Johnson, Audio Research...

    I didn't say the Ampino Pre was bad, I just think for that price bracket, a used Conrad Johnson tube pre is a much better buy. Not to mention the fun and flexibility of rolling tubes.

    Have you actually tried the Ampino Preamp vs the CJ? Or are you just basing this off of the "reputation" of Conrad Johnson?

    Those look like original La Scala’s. I’ve heard the new ones, albeit not setup well, and I liked them. Nice clarity, soundstage, and BRIGHT. About as bright as I could take, and I love a bright speaker. A new set costs $4k a piece, seems like a deal, if only to flip.

    Yep seems like. I know very little about Klipsch's but some folks here rave about em. Especially because they are very efficient, ideal for a SET amp rig.

    Anyways, so I was looking at the CL ad on these, at the pics, and the Mrs comes into the office and asks"what are you looking at?" She gives me the look, enough said, guys you know the drill. :wink:

    Lol! I work from home and typically when I am filling in the gaps of my day when I need a break from looking at CAD, I’ll come on here or look at CL. If the latter, I always click another screen really quick if the wife comes in. Just easier than explaining “just looking honey”
    You would think I’m looking at something inappropriate lol

    One thing to note about the Ampino and the CJ is the difference in gain. The Ampino only has 4 db while the CJ has roughly 16. Could be an issue for some.

    Tony the high gain would manifest how? Appear to be too loud at lower volume settings? Noisy? Please advise.

    That's considerably on the high side. Check with the folks over on the Klipsch forum, you'll find better deals. The La Scala is a nice speaker, especially when they ahve been modded. There was a vendor at LSAF this year that had a speaker setup based of modded Belles, which are basically the La Scala, and they were among the best at the show.

    Better deals on Klipsch forum. Some heavily modded Belles and La Scalas can be had for substantially less than this. Done right they are some sweet speakers.
