Here ya go, it only covers the outlet, what's really need is protection from all the wires in the walls and ceiling, "special paint" would work. It could have actual snake oil in it, when you start up I will be glad to supply some unbelievably pure snake oil, you will need to just specify the exact type of snake required for the higher priced products, the lower end can just have general snake oil. I am sure you could attract a few suckers clients with such a groundbreaking product .

Yes, digressed, I'll give myself one warning point. And I got up feeling so optimistic this morning...

I think a "computer" can replace the "CD player" with a good DAC and provide many advantages in how we access out own music.

Great idea, I should have thought of that. Your coffee will have a blacker background.

hope the Littlest Rebel finds her way to the Camp where the last roll is called

Bill, I would be happy to do a trade. Cash for speakers!! Speakers for cash!!

Just thinking about where i can move these babys and wondered how they would do as side surrounds? I know they are not a match, but might just work if I moved a few things around. Any input on placement....i guess it would be easy enough to run wire to them real quick and test. just worried about the horn being right there at ear level 2 feet behind, in my room, they would need to be placed real close to the rear of the couch. I will say I had a pair of 82's on the side for a short time and thinking back it sounded really good, even 7 channel with music. Also, have been kicking around the idea of a single rf7 as a center if I could ever find one.

All you had to do was ask....

I can't believe I clicked on that.

That's an acceptable statement. However, for the sake of fairness, computer based audio should be matched against CD's and not vinyl or RtR. edit: word redundancy. I suppose you could always introduce some hiss or popping to make it fair.

Cancel lunch with jacksonbart at Long John Silvers tomorrow...

And to think I was going to serenade you with "When the Levee Breaks" ah well...

Your honest feedback may encourage the seller to do a better job in the future. Why reward his poor performance with excellent feedback that is awarded to those that do an excellent job. Keith

Watch it Boxx. This is not a thread for positivity!

In my experience a computer can equal the sound of a cd player and I am sorry I don't mean actually playing the actual CD in the computer's CD drawer. As joessportster refers to in bit streams, I have taken my CD collection and converted it to FLAC, I then use Media Monkey to handle the meta data and library duties. I use a music streamer DAC and with tweaking the audio output plugins from Media Monkey the sound quality was comparable. I can sometimes hear subtle differences between the two platforms when I attempt to compare, which I have not done in a while. I too use the computer to listen to my CD collection.

^^^ & you hear the differ

With a good DAC and a decent service like MOG, it doesn't suck. At least that's been my experience. I also listen to a lot of different things that I wouldn't otherwise hear.

Great idea, I should have thought of that.

How do you know unless you try it?

So I should cancel my order???

If you would like a subtle change in your coffee, you can change out the power cord to the grinder or brewer. I can taste the difference

My thoughts exactly which is why i sent an email explaining my dissatisfaction with the way the transaction was handled, and the facts that i paid shipping and he advertised the box and materials. I figure if he shows a conscience, and ships me these things i will take the higher road and forget about Neg. Although so far he is just ignoring my communication, I plan to give him a day or 2

3 2 #1 choice for now

That was the first time that I A/B the Forte 1 and 2. After hearing them, I would have bought what you did, too.

You should be mad at yourself, very mad. In fact, so mad, that just to punish yourself, you're going to consider selling me those Twin RSW's......

wish i was closer bump

Shirley Temple was one of my moms favorites, mom was about 4 years older than Shirley and I lost my mom about 3 years ago. RIP Shirley

I all ways enjoyed watching her movies with my mom and great grandmother.

Like that AND part.

Other than the time and frustration, you might ask for refunded shipping AND the box/manual, stating that you "would rather not post negative feedback". Out of curiosity, how is this seller's feedback?

Thanks to forum member jweber I have the wonderful Forte...

I seen this ad on CAM this morning and was going to post it to the forum. The seller mentions that the 1956 set he is selling "sound far better than any modern Klipschorns". So far, I have only heard my 1985 vintage K-Horns and two different sets of 1977 vintage K-Horns which all sound excellent.

Freddie Mercury… Honorable mention to Burton Cummings Ann Wilson…(just edged out Grace Slick) Queen

Whoah! them suckers is BIG close-up....good pic.

You might not like the "floor" noise. I live 1 1/2 miles downhill and can hear the blades moving.

Sorry Jason, got home from work, ate dinner then off to basketball game. Life stays busy with 4 children.

It really killed me to leave them (and the center channel) behind...

I started thinking about my current listening habits with Multichannel Music and realized that nowadays it's more about where the music takes me in my own mind. I tend to appreciate passages in between thoughts, but never read, write or am distracted by external things when doing so and have on a nightly basis for almost a decade... That said, I feel completely different about Painting which I try to put myself in the artist's shoes and see what they were trying to convey emotionally--I probably embarrassed the crap outta my wife in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, standing in front of a Van Gogh in the Dr Gachet wing of the museum. Btw, I realize that this is the 2-channel section but you guys are the most interesting. {Note: no smiley gif}

Good Stuff Matt! I'm glad you are enjoying them. Once I got my La Scalas, I've never thought about buying speakers again! Dennie

Very cool. A mere 6.5 hours each way, hmmm...

This guy scared me half to death yesterday, although I'm sure I did the same for him (her?). Canon 60D, f5.6, ISO 800 (nearly 6 pm, overcast), 300mm focal length, exp 1/80 sec.

That's not that long, barely into the pro-logic days ! Just kidding Welcome, you found the right place.

Nice pics in your gallery.

That's the heaviest template I've ever seen but if that's what you had laying around, it looks like it worked well. I would suggest to future builders to use a 1/4 or 3/8 hardwood underlayment to save their back. Looking good, I had a great time building mine and it's really a simple build so you get to see results quickly. Get er done!

Until we have a real high fidelity format, people will stay away in droves. Stereo is 60 years old, obsolete, and keeps the public away from audio in droves. If that's all the movies offered the theaters would all go dark. People want realism, high fidelity, immersion. It may have been good enough for grandpa, but it ain't good enough no mo... Dave PS - I don't need to be reminded about BR, SACD, whatever. Those are media. Media is obsolete.
