    • Low wattage amps are enough power for a lot of Klipsch users due the the high sensitivity of the speaker and size. It is like a sports car, just because it can most people won't be running their system that hard toward clipping.  With room gain of easy 10 db, there is some free headroom. .
    • What vehicle?  I know in my Jeep if the fob battery dies you just press the Start/Stop button with the fob to start it.  In some vehicles with a Start/Stop button if you pop the button out you can insert the fob and turn it to start the car.
    • I used to have that Combo Perhaps we should discuss. 🙂
    • Unused power is just that, unused, no magic pixie dust in it.   I can say without hesitation 8 watts is plenty of power for me and clipping is not a problem. Much more power has been tried and found not to be needed at my less than live concert listening levels.   More power to you if that's your desire, but I'm not going to tell someone else they need more power and that it's going to transform their system. If they are happy with what they have and hear no signs of clipping all is good, no sense in losing sleep.   Many have gone down in quantity and up in quality and experienced worthwhile improvements.
    • Ok tweeter diaphragms replaced with a Crites kit! Sounding good! Now I need to replace one K-55m, the question is do I get a pair of Crites kits, or do I hunt down a single working K-55m? Is it bad practice to get them individually like that? Like a chance of some imbalance?
    • I did scroll my Dave1291 but have to figure out how to get into my old account.  I'm pretty sure I have it but not really positive.  Think we exchanged them when I went out to Phoenix to see the youngest.  That means nothing since I didn't have time to head south so we never talked.  I dunno but I hope his ears are burnin!       Survived the tornado damage. Did some nosin w/the rest of the town this evening and there was quite a bit more damage than I thought.  Made the CBS evening news tonight and the Columbus CBS affiliate, which suprised me.  There were 3 EF1's and two EF0's in Ohio.  This one was one of the EF 1's.  The other two EF 1's were up around Cleveland.  The EF 0's down in Southern Ohio.   Drove by my old place, which was a 2 story double brick built in 1917.  I loved that house.  Rock solid, hot water heat and quarter-sawn oak with all the old pocket doors and oak cabinets in the kitchen.  The veneer was absolutely beautiful.  No cracks and done the right way.    Had a maple in the back yard and planted some blue spruce on the side to block some of the noise & view from a school across the street.  They're prolly a good 30' tall now cause the guy never topped them out.  End result?  Two are on a major lean being held up by some power lines.  They're gonna have to go.   Every lil out building ppl had was history along with a few unattached garages and trees down everywhere.  Then the house pic I posted.  The 2 story building downtown next to Wendys had no roof along with 4-5 other buildings downtown.  Then it went right across into the residential side of older homes close by w/more damage.eventually headed outta town and lifted up.    Crazy for sure.
