Since I Quit Drinkin': the Indian lady who owns the Store had to cease taking her annual trip to India... Hank Snow, Hank Williams, SR., & Jimmy Buffett don't sound nearly as good... Except I've a room full of Klipsch speakers...in place of empty Rum bottles...they were all DUDs as Ron White sez... Damn, I still love Cuban Rum, Cigars an' Coffee; but that stuff is "more expensive than drugs" as Gene Hackman said in Crimson Tide...

Just ran across these many for the first time, stadium setups are very cool. imo More here http://www.klipsch.com/pro-in-action click on links

I quit drinking last weekend. I'll probably quit drinking this weekend too.

I've seen a prototype of in-ear La Scalas but the testing subject left quite a mess (not unlike that guy at the beginning of the movie "Scanners")

Rather drastic.

… my pancreas stopped hurting.

I guess zig zags wouldn't roll meatloaf very well (one of the few things i never tried).

...keeping the system heated up for the usual for Holy Week: Romanos the Melodist, Kassia, Godric of Finchale, Leonin, Guilliame de Machaut, Hildegard von Bingen, Maybe some Oscar von Wokerstein or John Dunstable if I get to feeling the need for something a bit more contemporary. Dave

This sounds like an OK deal. http://corpuschristi.craigslist.org/ele/4426985949.html

They certainly are looking wonderful. A subwoofer will help establish the pipe organ and tuba low frequency. I will say with my experience with the cf4 will reach pretty low on its own especially with the terms moray james implied. If you are testing with the horn not secured to the cabinet this will lose tone as well. Best regards to you

I don't feel well-grounded in this, but maybe you should disconnect the CATV lead to see what happens. Maybe a decade ago, I had an awful hum which was instantly solved by inserting some "Magic" box of some kind between the antenna input and the electronics. That sounded a little like what somebody mentioned earlier. At least see what happens.

Don, the only thing I can offer is to ship you an Emotiva DAC that supports USB and 24 bit to play with. I have two sitting here; a -1 and a -2. Let me know if you wanna play as I KNOW that they work on Windows 7 and USB. Edit: but with these I would just use digital out of the PC and forget the usb, loaner as long as you need.

oh yeah congratulations on the addition! your gonna have to really ad an addition(to your house) if you get anymore 18's or gear for that matter

That's all you can do. The apology on the other hand was worded nicely with no chance of misinterpretation.

It's a shame that this young girl will not even learn a lesson from all this, a terrible attitude.

I think Michael was trying to be encouraging to eth2 while telling the rest of us to FO. I'll let Davis decide if he wants any more help from me. He has certainly been getting a lot of information from all directions.

Yep, just take out the old and bolt in the new. No extra work necessary. Nothing to it. If you go and do it, please report your findings here after listening. Also, keep in mind that AFAIK, all Klipsch woofers are made by Eminence, so it's not as radical as changing to other brands.

You guys are killing me. He's identified that his DAC is 16 bit only and that his music files are 24 bit. So the first hurdle we need to get through is downsampling his 24 bit files to 16 bit.. which is software based. Once we get that confirmed as working we can troubleshoot proper USB output settings, etc.

No, I think its a personal experience being relayed there.

She jus aint lookin purdy n e mor oooooh and ima aikin and shakin to pourrr more and more and more and more and more oooooh nuthins fun n e mor

@@Sancho Panza Think of it as a passing phase....

it's amazing how you can see something and have no idea the impact it will have on someone. when i was 12, i was at this game: On May 17, 1973, Bobby Valentine was making a play on a home run ball at Anaheim Stadium when he'd suffer an injury that would prove to forever alter his career. As he jumped on the fence his spikes got caught in the chain links. The result—a multiple compound fracture that would cost him the rest of the season and slow him down for the remainder of his career.

That's the funniest thing I have read all week, thanks.

When I was a kid, you could go see the Dallas Cowboys play in the Cotton Bowl for $2. However, you had to sit in the end-zone and they had a chain-link fence that kept you from moving into any other area of the stadium. The old fence post holes are still visible at the stadium.....

Probably right. I don't want to start another thread there, so I suppose a mod will have to move it? Sorry, I'll blame it on being new to the forums at least until I have 100,000 posts.

Pretty little girl, you better enjoy it and take many pictures while you can, before you know it she will be replacing the other girl in the pic and be married and on her own, it happens really fast ! Without a doubt.... Enjoy every moment you can....

Hello wine lovers..... I special ordered this 1/2 case of wines (from Laithwaite). All six bottles are the same They are a wonderful red from France (VALLEE DU RHONE). Domaine Conndorcet (2012) Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Excellent as both a dinner wine or as an aperitif.

Set them to Large & Standard on LFE & I think you don't have to bother with the crossover settings. I'd listen a while, then send the crossovers to Bob Crites to re-build, if desired.

Searching around I don't see a copy of the Klipsch Papers being available. They may have been lost in the new forum. Basically . . The need for a third, center channel goes back to at least 1933 when Bell Labs had an orchestra in one city and three speakers in a theater in another (DC and Baltimore?) The project was to recreate the orchestra many miles away. PWK must have be enamored with the concept long before home stereo. About 1957 the first stereo LP was created. PWK was also making stereo tape recordings about the same time. So that was about the time he created the Heresy as a center. It is worth mentioning that the movie Fantasia (Disney) in the early 1940s had multi channel with the many tracks recorded on a synchronized film machine. But I think there was no real stereo or surround as we know it. Disney was a powerhouse of innovation and I believe the Disney organization has more Academy Awards than any actor, though for technical matters. In any event, the advantages of a center channel at home for Klipsch was simultaneous with stereo LPs. PWK demonstrated it at Bell Labs, which he called "bringing coals to Newcastle." (BTW, the phrase refers to the fact that Newcastle, England is a coal mining town. So there should be no reason to bring coal to that location.) Bell Labs had originated the idea but it was somewhat forgotten. They loved it. I wonder if there is some publication by Bell memorializing the event. PWK had many electrical schemes for producing the center Left-Plus-Right channel but the stereo mixer box is the best known. Some electronics manufactures picked up on it and so we see some McIntosh and Scott amps equipped with a center output. There is a review by a magazine of the "Cornwall II" which is what we know as the mainstream Cornwall where the folks from Hope set up a center channel (three CWs) and the review found it to be the most exciting stereo effect ever heard. Home theater came to the fore with the VCR particularly when the soundtrack was recorded by an additional video head rather than a linear track. Fidelity was wonderful. The HT stuff was Dolby 5.1. There were really only two tracks recorded but the center was derived from (like the mixing box) from Left-Plus-Right. The surround was Left-Minus-Right and put into two surround speakers. The .1 was a sub. Eventually we got true multi track. With HT and movies there was the problem that dialog was best put in a center channel speaker just under the display. Generally the use of a center channel for playback of LPs and CD's can give some weird results. One is that sometimes drummer are recorded such that the drum set takes up the whole soundstage. So you have the drummer with eight-foot long arms with cymbals at the extreme edges. Artto here spoke of it. If you read the Klipsch Papers you'll see that for a while PWK advocated that a center with Left-Minus-Right was indistinguishable from Left-Plus-Right. This was true of live recording with two microphones. But then came studio recording of pop music where the singer was mixed hard center or Left-Plus-Right. When his Left-Minus-Right system was used, the singer would disappear. So he seems to have dropped that idea. Purists will say that with a well set up stereo system as far a placement, the phantom image of center location comes through without a center channel. That is true in my experience but the speakers have to fairly close and the room very symmetrical, It helps if the speakers are pulled away from the walls. That is why so many purists have their dinky speakers on stands well out into the room. Going back to the subject. The third channel center is about as old as two channel. Essentially, real three channel is best, but the derived center can be astonishing better than just two. WMcD

I found 'em..........

was about to give beeker a hard time, when, you guessed it, the Comcast internet service went down again...

maybe they'll sound fine in there...sorry, honey...

d

Myself that's all I would do if they were mine. They would sound correct or better, then it would be up to the room and upstream. Except the normal things like make sure all drivers are working, sealed tight in the corner and change out the green wires. imo

Everything seems to like it, if you don't live where you can get horse poop feed stores sell chicken poop in bags like you see potting soil. Just be very careful when fresh either is hot. Especially chicken poop, one or two shovels full is enough for a good size tree. I haven't added any in years, we use to go to the chicken farms, they would load our trailer, 20' long with 2' sides piled with as much as it could hold for $20, the same at the horse stables. One big caution, you have to be very careful with the chicken stuff and it stinks for a while if it's fresh, horse stuff does not really smell much at all. Where I had it piled far in the back yard the grass is still dark green and much thicker and faster growing than anywhere in the yard and it's been probably 10 years since we did that. NO more fresh chicken poop for me, It smelled like I was piling dead bodies in the back yard, and were talking hundreds of feet from the house, i'm surprised no one called the police thinking someone was dead back there.

It probably is a bit radical of a change in sound and expectations to go from Chorus to Khorns. He will get it dialed in soon. Either the ears or the horns. Hoping for him...

Yep, feels nice here today! Do not know where it came from except for my grandpa via the Farmer's Almanac but folks around here, at least the old school ones, never plant anything until after Good Friday. Guess they wanted to be safe. Springtime needs to stay around awhile. Horse poop may be answer to our tomatoes problem. Bet greens would grow good too!

Wow Tomatoes and a flower garden. Wish I could get tomatoes to grow. I will look up the pics and thread, and maybe learn something. Thanks!

came across some old ads for the klipschorn and shorhorn .thought id share them in case some have never seen them.

Nah

Download the owners manual for that Sony to help you with settings. Since you don't have a Powered Sub, you'll want set your Speakers to LARGE & Subwoofer to NO. I have a similar, but a little older Sony.

They sure could win a Beauty contest. You seen the ones with the big girls? These could be in a BBW (big beautiful woofers) contest lol

Both my corns on a wall far away from corners. Probably would not need any eq if I had them in corners (for bass). My 7s are on concrete so they need a bump as well.

Welcome to the Klipsch Forums, Dave!

You can recommend the 5.5 ? Lol New avatar pic of yours, you get new equipment? I absolutely can recommend the 5.5 for HT or 2 channel listening which am doing. Moved those RF3 and hoisted the 5.5 gently by computer desk. LOL That is the mintlike SS 45 watter NEC authentic int. amp and matching tuner I showed you briefly. Nice combo.

Nice!

Fair enough! Meanwhile, if you haven't read, please read your thread. Good folk here!

According to OP single post he has a sub. OP, the receiver is made to hookup to speakers. Klipsch speakers even better. All this worry over things that won't happen. If you make a mistake, there are speaker parts available. How is it sounding? Thanks

If you already have them, try them. See if you have wandering soloist. They may have slightly different frequency curves, and be of audibly different efficiency. Even two samples of the same model may vary ... Klipsch tested them when they were new to make sure they were O.K., but also attempted to match them in stereo pairs, since there were variations. Several people have said that their round magnets did not have the high frequency extension that the flat magnets do, but I have 4 flat magnets and two old round magnets, and my particular round magnets are every bit as good -- in fact 16K signals can be heard from directly behind them.
