  5. I hear you. Thank you. It is permanent yet im learning how to live with it. I want to go bad. Further south we hoosiers get the better the scenes I considered flying and car rental and if i dont make this gathering i likely will next time. Airports 2 miles from my house. I cannot imagine 4000miles. 4 years ago i drove to atlanta and back for a wedding. Also played 18holes which was a bad mistake on spine. I use to hold a solid 3 handicap. Afterwards I really thought i was crippled for life and still had a wedding to go to. I am going to hope ark soon. just hope in 2 weeks im ready.

  7. Years 34-38 were very good years.....then the movie Fatal Attraction slowed things a bit. And there was the AIDS thing in the news every day. Probably not as wild as oldtimer.....but not bad

  13. While in Klipsch forums, click on the D to see the Disconnect dropdown. Then click on "Visualize Page" at the bottom portion of the dropdown. Find google-analytics.com, and click to enable talking to it so Chad and Amy have more accurate usage statistics for the forums. I really don't mind that they know I am here. Google-analytics gives them some very helpful data.

These have got to go to a good home before I do indeed figure something out for them, HOWEVR another REAL deal is about to come, just a heads up: JBLS "TWO!" 2445H Driver(s), just a Tad bigger than these, w/Factory Heavy Duty Stands, and these are One Heavy critter. Currenty sitting on top of my Scalla base units tapped into the Crites squaker feed and cranking. Not listing/selling or pricing till these four are gone.

  22. gawd man thats a screaming deal. they look grrrreat....You should keep a pair and run on tubes and get a couple good 12" drivers in single cabs and run them on solid state off a 2 way electronic crossover. I have freinds out west and did some schooling out there years ago. My old neighbor in san jose has no time too drive a couple back to our home town, i discussed it with him the other night or id be up for a pair to do what i just said. man it kills me to see such sweet horns with good drivers for basically the price of your time alone $100each, seriously

  24. I risked $300 to be an early adopter and support better digital audio. I love my return to vinyl, but maintain that vinyl recordings sound good despite being vinyl, not because. On the other hand, compressed digital recordings sound bad despite being digital, not because. Neil Young seems passionate about wringing the best sound out of a digital format. The promise of dynamic range without the ticks, pops, etc. of vinyl is compelling. That said, This time I'll keep vinyl in the mix no matter what the future holds. Who said, "won't get fooled again."

  25. tramstrong,First, welcome to the forum!! We hope you descide to stay awhile! Secondly, I have 7 big ugly black splatter painted speakers that weigh 250 pounds each plus 4 very large subs, and I did not get them by making my wife happy, but she didn't leave me either. I'll get off my soap box now. Third, if you can live with the substandard sound of a little speaker then know this, the two most important speakers in a surround system are the center channel and the sub woofer. Do you think she will let you go bigger on the center channel, and buy the best sub you can afford, even if it is way overkill on the other speakers. How much money can you budget on a sub?? Roger WAF will never be an issue for me! My partners are told that my setup is important to me. They can change/do anything in the rest of the house, they DO NOT mess with my setup. If I wish to buy thousands of dollars worth of large speakers and amps, I do. I just do not understand.I am trying not to offend, but I have heard this WAF b*lls**t to many times. Are we not men here?

  28. Oh, and Garyrc, the high end Klipsch sytem has been the "Moutengator" (Bob Moers, former Klipsch President, showed me photos in 1976, before the patent) now evolved into the MCM Grand 4 xx in the Commercial Line, the Heritage stuff is still a good compromise, though. LOL.

  29. No one said it was intolerable, just measurable. PWK himself told me the reason he abandoned the Cornwall and made the Belle was because, even operated at 6 db down from the Khorn flanks, the disortion on the Cornwall's direct radiator was high enough to spoil the sound of the entire array, so take it from the man himself, not me.

  30. I see all of this to be a very, very narrow market. Ask yourself how many people that you know are as passionate about Audio as you are. Then take away the people and friends you have met here or some sort of other audio gathering. I have three friends that I have known since High School (over 2.5 decades ago) that have decent Klipsch speakers and modest Electronics like myself. And yes, their ownership was influenced by my old setups growing up, so this even negates the probability of them looking for better audio having not being influenced by me. Would they consider to swap out a X-over and try a new one on their own...no. Would they consider taking time to update or re-wiring and old speaker searching for that last little bit thats probably not there....no. Do they ever complain about the quality of a 256K download..no. I guess Im the only freak in our small circle. Going further than that, a big portion of the people here balk at a $30 DVDA, Bluray audio or a $20 SACD. Now, everyone knows we can't afford to always buy lossless and the offering is not that great anyway. In time, I hope a lossless download is the norm, and I sure hope it gets here sooner than later. I applaud this push by Young as it will takes steps like this to get us there.

  31. Sounds like you married a keeper. Went to lunch with co-workers to a British Pub. Ordered fish & chips--the waitress comes by the table and says, "I've never in my entire life seen someone use so much ketchup." I was polite though--when the food came, i told every at the table to use the ketchup first because there wouldn't be any left when i got through with it. Always thinking of others--that's what ketchup does for you…oh yeah, and it's magic. Over 20 years so far.

  33. Babadono, you have to remember that Dean has spent countless hours of trial and error, learning what part upgrades yield the best return, years of refining his process and many, many hours on the bench achieving the knowledge he has. He has established a small side business performing crossover upgrades on various speakers. Dean would be shooting himself in the foot if he shared in detail what upgrades he performs and the process that he uses to do so. This thread was started by me, not Dean. My intention was to document my journey of upgrading the crossovers in my RF-7ii's. That would include the removal of the crossovers, re-installation once received back from Dean and my thoughts after hearing the upgraded crossovers. The title of this thread is from my perspective, not from Dean's.

  36. Amy, can you make your speakers available to movie and TV people for "product placement?" It seems like I'm always seeing small speakers on the screen. How nice a pair of Klipschorns would look in a hit movie ... people would think, "What are those?" I'll never forget seeing Crown tape recorders in JFK, and in Starsky and Hutch, even though Starsky turned the wrong knob to adjust the playback volume!

  39. Young writes passionately in his recent autobiography of his lead in the development of and vision for PONO . . . great to see it came to fruition and gives us another choice . . . an expanded recording range, why many of us still play vinyl, but now in a digital choice beyond SACD . . . definitely a "disruptive technology."

  42. I totally understand that, dtel! It's shocking how many people here have never heard of us, or think we are based out of Germany. Although thanks to the Klipsch Music Center just north of Indy, many people now know the name....but think we are just a music center! I get asked for concert tickets every time I tell people where I work, ha! At least it is name recognition, and when people come across Klipsch speakers in a store, they have a distant memory of having heard that name somewhere before... That's actually the thought process behind the sports and music sponsorships...it gives our name more exposure than any magazine ad we could run. And we only go with athletes/musicians who approach us and love us, so it's authentic. It's difficult to get your name out there in this noisy world without spending a small fortune, that's for sure! Don't even get me started on TV ads... End rant.

  44. Rescue dogs can be interesting characters. Unfortunately, my 11 year old "pup" still hates hoses (water, specifically), anything resembling a club or rifle, and the stretching of rubber bands. I adopted him at 8 months (which was a guess based on his teeth), and his paperwork at the Oregon Humane Society identified him as a victim. Odd quirks also include additional hatred/mistrust of airplanes, the moon, and helium balloons. Still, he is so very loving, and interested in anything I want to "share" with him, as long as he deems it safe. With a previous owner that tried to stomp him to death for chewing on furniture, I feel like I'm the luckier of us both.
