Many of you, I am certain, will have a great appreciation regarding this commencement address. Sometimes these exercises are worth it.....

The "New" toys are in the cave, using the newly acquired scalas (w/old xovers) wired with my existing pair, im "there". Bells, well this is a different animal, by the time I pulled them off my truck into the cave, the wife no longer wishes to even hear them. Talk about Khorns spoiling her, yeah that's pretty much what happened, she does not want me to touch the Khorns. I fired up the Bells first thing sunday, they are the standard well taken care of 30 year old + - find, they work well, just not in the man cave, two pairs of Scalas works well right now. The wife's old Chorus are on the Bay, and it's looking like the Bells will follow. The game plan worked well, I figured if I bought one pair of each kick azz Klipsch, the wife could make her choice, she did, and is elated at the outcome, and I ended up with a new pair of scalas.

Looking very nice Mark! Glad you are both home safely with the 2 pairs. Interesting choice on keepers and sellers...I believe I can understand why. Very nice use of sources to get the best possible. Nice to see your having everlasting fun! Cheers!

Yeah, I'm not active in that thread. I already get enough emails from Klipsch to keep me unproductive throughout the day.

Hopefully I can figure out how to post my rose bushes when they bloom. Man i have to say it appears we have to trim them back way further than ever before...We gave 1 of the 3 to my mom although the other 2 are usually beautiful....All the flowers are a bit weird here in northern indiana at the moment...farmers are planting still even today we seen a couple soy fields getting what appears to be a late start. I dont know much about farms but my wifes family has 1500 acres so im learning a little. Slowly

Wow yours are growing much faster, you must have gotten them in the ground a lot sooner. I just got mine in, last week. Yeah dude your porch is very nice!

Well yeah guys, I kind of spoke of this, early this morning in Coffee & Cables, giving everyone the heads up. However since this thread is in the Alerts section, ill just add a bit here. If anyone here is interested, pm me, and ill cut you a better deal, however do read the ad.

OK, ok,....I take that one back...though not sure Republicans can rea....oops, just stopped in time.

To my understanding tapped horns have lower distortion output than direct radiating models but higher distortion than full horn loaded models. Unfortunately there are tradeoffs to every design.

Get a good kitchen knife. Sharpen it before you use it. Wash it, dry and sharpen after you use it. Sharpen before and after each usage. Keep it where the blade does not touch any surfaces. It will always be plenty sharp for kitchen applications.

I thought I would start a Memorial day tribute thread to give recognition and thanks thanks Pops and godspeed.

How far is your main seating position from screen? If it is 8ft or less, maybe some slight issues, more than that you should be fine. It is obvious you are not trying to blow anyone out of their seat with a huge wall of sound. Bill

yeah thread crapping in a for sale add isn't cool with anyone around here. Take your BS elsewhere! getech is a 9 year member hear and doesn't post often, have a little respect reference said it nicely. end of story I understand the frustration too, but we all need to realize that not everyone that is a member here understands forum etiquette and doesn't frequent here enough to pick up on all the do's and dont's. There are tons of direct, smart arse comments spewed by many of the forum Vets here that go glossed over and that are never called out on. BTW, good luck with the sale Jimjimbo.

yeah thread crapping in a for sale add isn't cool with anyone around here. Take your BS elsewhere! you gotta be kidding

Bump for a very good read on a day meant for those who served us.... The thread Boxx posted is tough to get through so i wanted to get a happy story to the top on this memorial day. My hat off and bow on knee to those who have served and all family to the souls of our fallen soldiers...Blessings.

Yes very nice pics Gary. I think i hit a golf ball under your patio a few outings ago. Thanks for sharing

Very nice Mark....and your wife has a good ear! Sounds like a productive road trip!

Thanks Boxx...... Having a blast tonight, taking photos for RTM, posting there, then coming here and posting from today's collection...! Anyway, it is now time to show the dinner cooked Al Fresco, the FIRST of the summer season..... Starting with some fresh peppers and onion which was coated and marinated in a southwestern BBQ sauce and on the grill as seen here........ Note the salmon burgers at the far end...

crazy

Here, the freshly uncovered, high end, made in the USA furniture, all cleaned up along with the umbrella just out from winter storage ...

I received a very nice reply from the ebay seller and he indeed received payment for $1200 for his RSW-15. That's awesome.

Gerry C, Welcome to the forum and thank you for your reply. I have not yet pulled the trigger on the Dragonfly v1.0 but will very soon. Funny thing is that music from my desktop PC to my Onkyo receiver sounds pretty good with the stock built in soundcard. Bill

Maybe I was wrong on the market value of the RSW-15. I thought it was around $900. I know they don't come up for sale locally very often. Think I've seen 2 in my area in the past 5 years. It's definitely by far the best subwoofer I've ever heard and owned. Yes, I will likely sell my RSW-15 to fund the replacement horn sub.

I like your post...i'll have to read it again...very nice!

Interesting...It sounds like he was an interesting character.......with his clothes on of course

The best listening location at an outdoor concert (that has sound reinforcement) is always near the soundman, who is generally located in the sound booth which is (usually) some tarp covered scaffolding either on a center line some distance from the front of the stage or off to one side. That being said, I'd like to convey two of these outdoor concert experiences, both at the Chicago Blues Festival. On one occasion I was standing near the sound booth which was off to the side at this particular stage. Behind me and to my right was the Gibson guitar sponsor showcase trailer. They had their own sound system hooked up & playing music that had nothing to do with the live performance. The sound was really, really bad and very annoying. Finally, in frustration I turned around & was about to complain loudly when I saw what was making all the racket. It was a Bose column system. "That figures". And then decided it wasn't worth complaining about and went to the other side. The other, more peculiar instance that day was in the Petrillo band shell area where they have a large cordoned off seating area. I was standing along side the sound booth. After a while security comes up to me and says "Sir, you can't stand here". I ask "Why not"? He says "This is a seating area only. You'll have to take a seat." OK, I go find a seat. A little while later security comes up to me again and says I can't sit there because its reserved. "I don't see any reserved sign". Yes, I know, but it's reserved. So then I go to the very back where there is a standing only area. After a while security comes up and says "Sir, you can't stand here". By now I'm getting a little pissed. Told him what has happened so far and asked "So, why can't I stand here." He says "This is a smoking only area." (I don't smoke). I turn to the guy next to me and ask for a cigarette, and he lights me up. I turn to the security guy & said "You go tell your ****ing boss that if I have move one more time I'm going to stick this cigarette up his $ss". True story. Unfortunately Johnny Winter sucked so I wound up leaving early anyway.

Nice Boxx! Where is Tigerman? Need him to cook something we can drool over! I will be having another steak and corn on the cob. Not to waste charcoal I cooked two last night. Inexpensive little steaks called Chuck Eyes or Denver steaks. Flavorful. Hard to cook for one and lady friend is away.

I don't know I'm with duder, we had a late frost so I waited a little, there only probably about 1 to 1.5 feet right now. But I did plant 4 cherry tomatoes also, last time the cherries didn't do so well. Also 8 regular tomatoes 4 bell peppers, 6 cucumbers, 4 Japanese eggplants. It's not a big garden about 6x 20 raised. Years ago we did big gardens, but it's way to much work especially if it only me doing the work. I like tpo plant corn also but every time I do we have a drought and they get 3' tall and stop. The grandkids like them but usually I just eat them when there ready as I walk by.

The race is half over. The track is hot. Between 117 and 121 depending on who you listen to. Some tires are blistering, and there are a lot of spoiler adjustments being made to increase downforce due to the hot track. Our #67 is in the 27th position at this time, and posted a lap speed of 222 MPH. that is very good. http://racecontrol.indycar.com/ edit: I'm not sure, I think Josef is out. My man Helio is in a strong 2nd.

He said that if he pushes on the sides of the cabinets, the noise goes away. I still think it's a cabinet resonance issue.

Wow yours are growing much faster, you must have gotten them in the ground a lot sooner. I just got mine in, last week.

There should be some kind of law, you should have to have some by a certain age, I think there is a law in Texas. Pork butt it really good but a brisket done well is just unbelievable, if you go to a BBQ place ask for some burnt ends from the brisket, there better than good. Making me hungry again Duder takes a mean pic of food. First rate fare, IMstomach's opinion.

I understand altogether...I will use my chorus ii as well likely to the end...My belles are too big for my room. Belles also need different treatment in my room than the chorus ii. I would likely stay with cornwalls over my belles if i had to...several reasons and long explanation although bottom line im a direct radiating low end preferred klipsch person. cheers

slow is best no doubt...gotta take time with these decisions...man peeps are in such a hurry these days..maybe people will catch on...possibly myself

Used up all my attaboys on a Thread that's gone bye-bye, so I'll have to Owe you Each one,

Uh yea, like totally dude, .......... now that's a screen, wow

Nice! Would you say their scale is large even at normal listening volumes? Large effortless sound is the best way I can describe them. Im sure you get what im saying being that you have heard them. You're right. Main reason I ask is to see if you felt the same way. My inner hope is if/when you see people thinking on upgrading from X to W, you might also enlighten them as to your experiences. Point: I've suggested folks jump up to the 2" horns. I've been told I carry that on endlessly. Interestingly, I never witness folks (endlessly) suggesting about other upgrades getting called out. Be it as it may... matters not to me. As you've now seen.... do you want to buy a new amp to upgrade? How about new wires? Maybe a new crossover? Having done every one of those myself, I feel they all pale in comparison to stepping up to larger format horns (space & budget willing of course) I personally think (and operate under the guidelines of) someone should start big and go down the stairs until they hit their point of acceptance. I think 'starting slow' and upgrading capacitors.... then maybe wires (or something else).... then amps.... is simply an inefficient way of doing things and in the long run can be more expensive. Leaving all as is and going from residential speakers to large format....well.... as you can see/hear..... is quite a singular & substantial jump. One in my mind that again, makes more sense if someone can swing it than some of the other choices. For those guys offering horn upgrades, I've never heard them and if someone is considering them I always suggest they go with the 2" format (so I'm not downplaying any vendors however I do like keeping my stuff all Klipsch)

Ashland, Wild Goose Pub, kept asking the wife what the hell that strange smell was driving up here, we found it was the trees.

Well Rosie O'Donnell don't either, which is a really good thing. imo LOL

Gimme a break, the first 2 are rumored dead so, it looks like Brinkley... I might through the towel in early...

My Laithwaite box has arrived.....

I tried a habenaro, a very small piece. I was unable to communicate to a waiter or my friends sitting at the table. Finally able to say milk. Learned my lesson well. Good Afternoon coffee

Everytime I see this thread im gonna vent.

Corona and Maduro break, worked up a sweat vacuuming the truck 90 in the sun don't help much either.

Almost wish you had taken a picture but, too hungry at the moment. Must have given you energy! Enjoy your nap...lol

These guys cost me a lot of money in the last few years, just got to throw in my two cents.

IF they are under Warranty, you will Void the Warranty.

Where is the "EAR" when you need him.

Thanks for the good read here. When first thinking of an outdoor concert, I at first hearkened to the past Pop Concert or Rock Festival concerts of the past where, you are basically with the crowd looking toward the stage, elevated somewhat from your listening level which although higher, is diminshed in height the farther away from it you can choose to be. Along with the inevitable PA towers on either side of the stage typically higher still. The amphitheater approach of the past on the other hand, is interesting in that, basically because of the say, half moon shape, ascending in the rear, for accomadting a listening position, higher than the typical flatland music festival. Interesting also that the modern approach is basically mimmicking in design, the theaters of old, in that even without amplification, or little amplification, a speaker can reach all of the listening positions with clarity. The indoor music venue, at least some of them,(the Jacksonville Coliseum was like in shape) also are/were shaped after the older, time proven design. In my case, I came as a viewer,listener, and was totally impressed, or the opposite depending upon the acoustics, or lack thereof, of all three forms of entertainment places. Thanks again...
