Heres hoping you all have a wonderful Easter

Happy Easter

Yes indeed, Happy Easter.

Listening & Watching Handel's Messiah! He is Risen!!!

John, humble, or not, yours is the only opinion the counts for your system.

I believe this was Super Deans thread. Couldnt find it. Anyhow who still indulges in music or even tv, movies, the bug you hid in your neighbors living room in 2 channel? The way music/noise was/?is meant to be? Sure movies have music...hifi,midfi or lowfi music is for 2 channels! Even if be in the new Klipsch Earhorns? Anybody? Anyone? Or just me, yeah i thought so...

Jim Hunter is the official Klipsch Historian. I don't think he would sit still for any BS related to matters involving PK's loudspeakers or anything else for that matter. It's hard to imagine a situation involving fact gathering for the website and the guy who knows everything about everything not being consulted.

goes well with Baseball... An oratorio, in three parts CD-80093 (2CD) TELARC Robert Shaw, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chamber Chorus, 1984

Yes, best Easter wishes to all! I'm being different this year and listening to the Ben-Hur soundtrack. The movie and music are all time favorites. Maynard

You get the Klipsch surround for hauling off the TV. As you know some of those sets had a decent picture,PIP, and other nice features. Sometime it is the convergence needing adjusting. For the right person, a mancave treasure. See them at times under curb alerts, but not always with a surround setup. A friend thought he had done good finding a BATV for free. Found a person to help load onto his truck and at his storage unit, found a strong person to help him unload. He cracked the front cover of set. Oh well, need a lift gate, large dolly, and maybe 3 helpers. A hernia maker, if not careful. Cool!

Listening now, started to go with Colin.

I actually admire the OP's persistence. That's what it takes to fix a problem like this. I went through a similar thing last fall that spanned about 2 weeks. I finally Killed all of the hum/noise from my system. (I had to, because I went to 114 db Horns). And the addition of 2 more Amps for Bi-amping. I dismantled my entire system, as well as all the electrical work behind the system. I routed one simple dedicated A/C line into a sub-panel. And then hooked all of my gear into 1 outlet via a much quieter Power Strip than I had before. I eliminated 100s of feet of interconnect by removing components that I never use any more (Tuners).... removed RCA interconnects to the TV in favor of Optical into the DAC. My system is as quiet as a mouse now, until those big Oris Horns Explode with a Full Orchestra. I never add anything to my system now, without a thorough evaluation of what noise I'm introducing. Don't give up. In the end it is worth it. You will succeed eventually.

Sergent, my Sergent Your point is not emergent, Certainly Tarheel's skill, Is far from nil, But of hums be sure, I have had my fill. However you know they will be resurgent.

Tarheel it seems has a certain skill. for Earl though, he'd rather take a hurl. This continued hum still has Earl feeling kinda bum. Audio bliss was not born on this Easter morn.

I will be warming up the scalas soon, mancave Khorn teardown day, check all speakers and total rewire in order, Volti contacted.

Yes but do they love DooWop. I think not. Since I'm half french Canadian (father was born in Canada) one of my long distant relatives is probably responsible for hitting on Colonel Monro's smoking hot English colonial babes.

Yes the p39's are my next stop to be honest...I too at the age of about 12 got a radio shack 2 channel and built 1 speaker then hooked every speaker i could find to them 2 channel outputs i could get in there and jammed it. started with discman, tape player then got a magnavox cd player from a friend of mine, whos dad had it. I wish i still had that old gear just for nastalgia although then traded up for a sharp stereo w cd changer then bought a new magnavox shelf system then car radio then had a kid so traded for home theater. Had a jbl surround theater in a box also before but then was introduced to my fall back for prolly 10 years an hk mark25ii with a cv1&4 kg.5's....that led to trip after trip after trip for 10 years until i realized klipsch made more than just kg .5's lol

Multi channel most certainly serves its purpose. And for so many years i was stuck with 5.1 running anything on it music to the end i thought. Also when i got on here and wondered around and got heresys for 1 i began to get the feel. Now i appreciate 2ch so much more and find so much within 2ch recordings

Thank you for replys...i mean it..i love my old grado 225's i havnt even opened up the box to my brand new 225i's yet. let alone my other cans. 2 channel is so much more refined and true to the ears.

most of the time I listen to Music in 2.2; there are some musical movies & mono movies that sound better in 2.2, as well; now if I had 7 La Scalas, I'd prolly go to Multi Channel Stereo...

Anything PWK had a personal hand in designing and named, are considered "Heritage" - I don't know about the "II" versions though (whether or not he had involvement with them in the design process).

Great to have friends. I hope & probably bet that Linda Ronstadt LP sounds better then the CD version I just bought. Enjoy you beach walker...

Yeah totally cool! Just getting to go thru the boxes and seeing what is in them would be a great afternoon.

Very cool gift.... Enjoy....

Like the background info in the Colin version.

Best Easter wishes to all you folks and thanks to Joe for starting this thread.

Mr. Shu Don't be no foo. If for you pages are too many, You needn't pay a penny Just skip on to a thread that is new! (Edit: With my regrets to Mr. T)

Happy Easter Everyone! Thank you Lord!!!

I don't think so. NO. Use the drivers that BFM recommends. The 15C would be best in a LaScala, Belle, or MWM, but not necessarily in a Khorn, which I have not modeled, but I suspect there would be a huge loss of the low end. Although it would improve the high end of the bass in a Khorn also, and would work ONLY IF you are willing to add a Tapped Horn sub of some sort to improve the bass you might be killing off in the process. But i do feel the 15C is a great all around Klipsch replacement. It also handles way more power for the DB freaks that like to put a kilowatt though a pair of Khorns. The 15C would then, effectively, help prevent house fires. My woofers rarely see more than a watt or two, since I want to protect my hearing until I arrive at my final destination.

Well, two years ago I would not have understood. But now I do and I know my audio journey is jsut beginning. For me, 2 channel is the way to go to appreciate music. I am now digging up all my old records, restoring a Garrard Type A record player I used when I was a kid. Recently picked up an old stereo tube amp that just sounds awesome and I am looking to dedicate a room in the house just to 2 channel listening. Then I picked up a pair of KG 5.5s for my son as a birthday present and it was hard to let them go to his house. They sounded fantastic with the tube amp! For movies, TV of course, I really enjoy my 5.2 system.

I think thats why a lot of us are here, though there is a lot of folks around that were sucked in by home theater, which now have 2 channel systems. I think there are a lot of people that don't set down and listen to music like we do, but they probably don't come around these parts as well. Yes put me down for good ole 2 channel listening.

I too listen to 2 channel. I have a nice 7.1 and have never had the urge to add more than two fronts and a bass (and I have not even gotten to the bass yet). As for "old guys" never forget "OLD GUYS RULE."

Darn, if only he hadn't said "honest" price.

OMG man i'l drive pick you up and you take it the rest of the way! you absolutely gotta be kidding me!!! is that dude sleeptyping! it'll suck if they wake up... ... ...OMG!

Its so frustrating these days being about 40 and how twisted the listening to music has become. I understand the dead spot many years ago and appreciate filling that with a center. I also hold dearly audio blurays and sacd truly it is a great standard to show the appeal of true surround sound music. Money is the factor i find that has saturated the world with music in surround sound. To actually walk in to a store so very few and so very far away with any 2 channel setups for demo then buy are basically obsolete. I do watch my movies in surround. Music on the other hand under all circumstances should be in 2 channel. Its so simple. And manufacturers that cater to the 2 channel truth music movement as i see it reserve such a premium to obtain the gear to enjoy 2 channel if you can find it at all. Its all on the internet by order and take a chance and send it back if its not what you want. And even at that point with a 2 or 3 way 2 channel system a subwoofer makes music happen in ways that need to be done. There are still not 2.1/2.2 preamps made to provide the clarity other than to use lfe which is a loss in so many cases of valuable tones of bass. I do not understand why surround sound has completely wrapped music into a non possibility of 2.1 or there about due to the surround sound movement. Its terrible

Are you telling me it is possible to listen to more than two channels nowadays....wow! I really am behind the times.....

CAN you imagine if the Indians won back the nation and put the colonys on the reservation,,,Playing Lawrence Welk rerun tv all day and night???

2.0 is all I want/need for music or video INMHO....... Best regards, John

Right on Sancho Sir! Im at the end with my local classic stereo. Man they are all totally theater avr,avp etc...my fiance said last time we were in there i pissed them off. I dont know and really dont care...its classic"stereo"for the sake of humanity the 2 speakers i have hooked up simply push anything they have over with ease... 2.2 is killer thats where im at with my current 2 chnnel standards i believe...none the less i do run 2 channels often..

I'll bet if you listened to them, that might make your decision. Good luck. Thank you. Im actually very content with all heresys atm though time will tell hahahahaahha hahahaHAHAHAhahahaHAHAHA lol When i was selling my 3rd pair of 901's they were version 5 in good shape i literally had had it. 901's as foot stools, used the stands as tables, stored in the closet they had no spot in my house at the time(nor ever again) i really could not find for them. a very good friend of mine who stores my gear or buys it including large shop air compressors 80 gallon ir is 1, anyhow finally he was in my house and they were right beside the door lol i did get a hundred out of him at that point and fine with that lol they were a real headache lol i can seriously only compare them to hemroids on your first day of work at a new job lol I have indeed been around super high end wealthy audiophiles that state how great they sound in front of their huge indoor stone wall with fireplace at the side. I know where 2 of the 3 pairs of 901's i have owned are at now(i believe) and im just sure of 1 thing...nothing can get them through my door ever again lol iv tried all bose speakers you name it the only ones i can stomach are the 301's and thinking about it i do not own 1 pair of them right now and really dont plan on it lol would maybe take 301's for free...would not pay $5 for them. Just too much fake plastic feel to bose cabs and their sounds are beyond hideous i cannot explain the disappointment bose has been in my life. As so many others including top dog/dollar paradigm. Paradigm subs hold a place in my heart although speakers/monitors not ever again and i have demoed paradigm prototype gear & owned the finest 7.1 complete setups from paradigm...just do not cut it although they are some fraction better than bose. Klipsch is so simple and inviting in life for home sound reproduction. Klipsch is my parking spot. The buck stops with klipsch lol cheers!

You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day.

Welcome Belle Read through the fourm just a bit, look in garage sales and alerts. We love pics here, pain in the azz to post till ya get the hang of it, take some pics, post them to Flickr, download from Flicker in the 500 size then come back here and post, easy and free.

Just throw more electricity at the problem.

Junk would not want them, if there so delicate you have to suspend the wires off the floor with "special" risers and build them there own addition, no way. lol!...look up evolution acoustics mm3 or mm7 on youtube, and his system is on there...he does have a nice room, i think his back wall are all records ...yeah i'll still stick with klipsch for sure! i bet they sound like crap for home theater! I bet it sounds great. Reaaly nice room purpose built for 2 channel not theater. Obviously not best bang for the buck but nice none the less.

I like think like that the dude on the bike was like looking at the fox in the car and like slammed into the car. He like should have like been more careful, duh. Doesn't he like know that a hot girl is like popular? She has to like answer all those texts, or like her friends will like think she's like mad at them, so whatever.

Thats more info than anyone would had bargained for. I was joshed a couple times there. It was straight got a twist kept twisted and twisting again with eyes shut then untwisted exactly 4 times the second untwist eyes open and then was ready to go..maybe 5 times then 6 then ready

Yes, he will be missed. Rest in Peace.

If you ever get to Scotland, look for these: all whiskey distilleries have them. Next summer, I plan on going back over via the QM2. I intend on renting a BMW adventure bike and touring the highlands. Rather than being on a tour bus, I will be much more capable of visiting some small stills, and perhaps tasting some rare stock. In all, I tended to like the whiskey's on the western side including the islands to the eastern north sea side. However, it seemed like there were way way more distilleries on the east coast.
