Dang, I better tighten up: http://www.newsmaxhealth.com/Health-News/coffee-diabetes-harvard/2014/04/25/id/567679/?ns_mail_uid=22806961&ns_mail_job=1566593_04272014&promo_code=p2m7223e "defined a cup of coffee as 8 ounces of coffee, black or with a small amount of milk and/or sugar." My cup is big, by those standards I drink 8 cups before looking out the windows. LOL, You must be in good shape to drink that much. Got some serious catching up. Thanks

10:30 am starting on my first Corona, just realized id better do the landscaping, ok maybe after a few more beers.

Why am I hungry of a sudden...

Great point, that is exactly the way I feel about it, ill wait for one to come up on the Bay, they will be all over the place in 6Mo.

I use an hp that was $250 at walmart...now for a year and has been flawless.. We also bought the same type, just a $100 more for $350 at walmart and it has too been flawless in a years time.. That said just keep it cheap and with a descent name hp at the moment seems to be best bang for buck... I also have a laptop that cost near $2k(about 5 months ago(January)...i wish i wouldnt had wasted the money...Sure its r7 or whatever lol but in my opinion its stupid lol and it indeed sits in a box...for a back up My $250 HP is great(i did buy warrantys for both and 3 years cost like $100 each...pass on that, just buy a new one if for some reason it blows up lol) EDIT: IF YOUR CLUMSY GET THE WARRANTY! SERIOUSLY....IT DOES COME IN HANDY

Im finding its not hard to run power equipment with a little buzz, its just getting up to go get the power tool(s) and get started, Been on The Bay all morning looking for a van, side tracked into blown Himi street projects....I must focas, I must, I must.......

You talk like someone retired or something.

I also love te clean cut look for a theater. If you keep the lascalas I'd figure a way to do an AT screen even though the speakers are beautiful I like the look of your theater with the wall in place. It looks very professionally and gives a finished look to you private theater.

For the same reasons you don't see the front speakers in the movie theater. It provides a clean, finished look. I just did not realize that it would impact the sound

On my last day of sittin on my hands, rollover will be complete within 24hrs, then its planning time...er Bender thrown in somewhere. Ill be finishing off this pot of coffee and likely start another, there will be no napping today, 6 hours on the CL yesterday, and I will surpass that today.

I just figured whatever I bought id just donate it when I get back here for a tax write off next year.

Them are sweet and rare and pro. Basically bullet proof klipschorns! dont get better than that! nice...very nice! cheers! im outta likes now

oh boy...them are kscm(or kcsm) klipschorns! never seen some for sale. Nice find...possibly a bit steep although maybe not...fairly rare..

well we have all had bad neighbors at some point

Well it use to be the back seat.

I am thinking out loud here, but with my new system I am working on a active crossover the minidsp. I here this and that about the horn length were the folded bass horn and the strait hf horn need some delay. Is there a way to calculate this based off of specs or in my situation, would it just be measure and testing.

Looking for some klipsch speakers to use for rear surround with my chorus I. 5.1 system klipsch sw 12 sub. Thanks http://atlanta.craigslist.org/search/ela?zoomToPosting=&catAbb=ela&=ela&query=klipsch&minAsk=&maxAsk=&excats= Here is a recent CLS from my area, would those km4's work. Any thing catch your eye or should I wait for something else, thanks.

and Klipsch too. Serious horn nut: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/ele/4417710468.html

I got my wife a Dell for 399 at Christmas. If you go to the business section, you can still get windows 7 machines. I don't recall the inch but it's a full size screen. EDIT, looks like they've gone up in price, I may have gotten a Black Friday deal.

13" is what you want... as the screen size rises from there, the units get much more expensive. besides, 13" is all you really need. I have both a 13 and a 17 and the 17 is just a behemoth and while mobile, I love the 13 much better. there are so many in that range, what other specifics are you looking for? do you need fast start times and schock resistence (SSD, but wont happen at 600$)?, do you need graphic performance? are you playing games? remember, the higher the resolution the better the image but also the smaller the icons in that image (harder to read) Amazon has a GREAT return policy, zero issues with new units.

The vinyl bug finally bit me hard enough to go purchase a vintage turntable on Friday. I dug out, dusted off and played a bunch of albums I've been lugging all over the country for nearly 50 years in some cases. I'm very glad I did. While there were a few pops, etc. it turns out that there were far fewer than my imagination had expected, and of course the experience was undeniable. Somehow I didn't want that to be true, being an early adopter and strong supporter of technology over the last 30 years. If PONO would live up to the promise, I'd be all over it-but when I have the time and the mood is right, I'll be spinning some discs. I'm sure the vinyl record store owner will smile when he sees another old guy stroll through the door-though I know it's not just us guys (and gals) who value the vinyl proposition.

I offered $1200 and p/u in less than two weeks....im thinking Refurb, and these are exactly what iv been looking for. Ok, iv bumped it up to $1500, but NO More, there are still to many deals coming west and its a long drive.........

I agree with the subject matter of the thread, well spoken, and more truth than iv seen in a long time. Ever since Al Gore gave me permission to rant, b-tch, and swap ideas, it has been and will continue to be an asset to my life. Im nothing without you guys and someone somewhere is payin for a server to hold all this crap, good or bad. Life is what I make it. and this is one of the better forums if not the best of them for well rounded input. I liked and loved a lot of speakers growing up to this point, until someone shoved a Hersey in my face I did not know there was "More". One of the main reasons I got out of Ham Radio after 50 years was too many with a stick up their azz just because they could afford better equipment (and Let You Know It). Reminds me of the first week on this forum, Coffee/Cables, (did not know better) chatted a bit, gave someguy a compliment and within two replys he turned my compliment into a heated reply trying to provoke me, what a di-khead. for some people here this is a part of their life, like me, for others, this is their life. Chris A , I will buy the beer, good post......

I knew it( thanks for getting the letters straight for me, i'll get it ). If i were in the market for khorns i would no doubt blast off to get them. They in my opinion and never hearing them to my knowledge are a homerun while the khorn would be an in the park homerun or maybe just a triple. I may like them more than Jubes as matter of fact. Especially for....well...any use lol seriously.. I do love my setup as it is i must say. I must also say those are like a kevlar khorn. I have really taken a liking to the latest 2502c's in pro heresys. I mean how can you get better than klipsch pro period...They are built to last with the same design with greater output and sensitivity to boot. What can get better than that...Nothing...longevity is a thrive of mine. Cheers twistedcrankcammer!

I agree. I have used every brand of avr and must say at one point just made due with a particular yamaha avr about 5 years ago. Anyhow...My setup at the time a bit comparable with your very setup had the same center discretion as you describe. Not to knock yamaha as they do produce some very good gear just not avr's in my opinion. If you do stick with your RX-V3900 i would most of all push up the db's up of the center a considerable amount and lower the value of db's a bit in your mains...This was what i had done before selling the whole setup with that particular yamaha rxv avr i had tested(as well as other yamahas even to this day) some years ago. Clarity may not be there although this adjustment should provide optimum use with your equipment for the time being or forever... I had even used eq's and other equipment to dial in the clarity while using yamaha avr's. I certainly wish you the best and hope it turns out well. On another note...although your 7's look fantastic on the entertainment stand i would truly consider putting them at floor level and put the flower on there...no offense...they do perform and help create the mains stage much more prevalent on the floor at which point they were designed to be used. This could(possibly will) also help establish the front mains/center sound stage clarity as they were designed/intended to be used... Once again the best to you...try to switch to the rf7 in the center as scrappy described then use other advice to advance in your audio experience as you do own some of the finest monitors made. Cheers

excellent advice. There are so many variables at play here that it makes my head tired. I read on the subject for many hours and have tried many different DACs over the last few years. You really have to find out for yourself given your specific system setup. My final answer was to buy the best I could. While there are some great DACs that are cheap and take you 95% of the way, my favorite DACs include the MHDT Havana, but with Ayre, and Bel Canto sitting at the top of the heap. I apologize that this isn't answering the specific question. USB can give fantastic results. At some point it is all great and you are just talking about minutiae of greatness.

Perfect excuse two buy another tube amp and go Mono blocks with my set up.

I offered $1200 and p/u in less than two weeks....im thinking Refurb, and these are exactly what iv been looking for.

Sales and rentals ? Just say no.........your retired remember........you are one with the cat

I'm using Heresy II, kg1, kg2 & kg3; but, I'm looking to replace, or, rather, displace the kg's with Heresy, or better...

wuzzer nailed it! its that easy

Not bad willand(you), but let me just add a little suggestion, note editing in my quote above.

I would love to get a pair of chorus II for front and use my I's for rear unfortunately but budget doesn't allow that right now. Budget right now is about 250.00 or less, I can always upgrade later if need to. There is a pair of heresy's for 250.00 on CLS if the guy still has them. Would the the heresy's be better than something in the ss line like the 1.1? I saw some on ebay for a little over a hundred. These would be solely for surround, I'am just want something better for now than the klipsch computer speakers I'am using for the rear.

Chris, well written. Unfortunately in the world we live the truth of a situation is not tolerated. It has to be distorted to support a position or belief. I agree with others here, you write very well for an engineer.

ANother of my wifes great shots

Speaking of primes, DOF, and creamy bokeh, this one of my favorite lenses - 58mm Nikon Noct f1.2 An example hand held shot wide open of a spinning platter in very low light don't recall shutter speed - I love this lens

I've thought about setting up a screen along the side of my barn, getting a cheap projector and FM transmitter, and hosting small private drive-in movie events for friends and family. The novelty of the drive-in experience is fun and the closest to my house is about 2.5 hours drive.

Better talk with him, as Minermark said you will have a really big mess if he tries that. That would be like oiling a painted black speaker it's crazy.

A Washington politician bending over backwards to help the 1% ? K.

Not sure how that would effect the sound shooting through an AT screen. Honestly, if I'm going to go through the trouble of getting 3 LaScalas, I'm going to build a bigger screen. LOL

I will discuss it with him. Thanks for your observations! Not good over fresh paint. How to see if water seal is needed - apply in small area, if it soaks right in you need it. If it beads up and stays on the surface, you don't use it. (wipe it off if it won't soak in). Of course IMHO Thanks!

They sell all kinds of parts. Here is the contact info, calling is best: Klipsch contacts

Chris, They don't get any better than Kevin and Eldon!!! I had the pure pleasure of spending several months with Kevin and his family and still consider him a close and personal friend, one of my best, and his parents, siblings, and kids are all "TOP NOTCH"

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.

What part of DJK's post didn't you understand? What you currently have is a good thing, not a bad thing. The K-52-H is a good driver. It was made by Hepner before Klipsch bought the Hepner tooling and moved it to Hope. The K-52-H became the K-52-K and was used in the KLF-30. The B3 network apparently accomodates both the K-52 and K-57 in the late model Cornwalls, and I don't see any reason to drop back in time unless you have a vintage Cornwall fixation. Most agree the Cornwall II is a better speaker, so I figure the closer you are to it -- the better off you are. BTW, there is no definitive proof that the new K-55-X is identical to the Atlas PD-5VH that Bob Crites sells. It is possible that the K-55-X is the same as the later K-55-V with the two port phase plug (soldered lugs). At any rate, unless you are buying the K-55-X directly from Klipsch (with the obscene price tag) -- you don't have a K-55-X.
