Just finishing up some Yuengling Summer Wheat... my wife even likes it. Also about time for some sleep.

Got up at 6 this morning so I could have the pool pump motor at the pool supply house when they opened at 9. Had some 8O'clock coffee at 6 O'clock. Didn't seem right with the time difference and all, oh well. Fired the motor up at the shop and it was dead silent. Brought it back home and looked for rub marks on the impeller and housing. Nothing there. Threw it all back together and..............silent. It's been quiet all day, don't know what was making it wail yesterday and at this point I could care less. I'll spend the rest of the afternoon picking out my cocktail of choice for this evening. Cheers

Just in from the Pub wearing the Klipsch shirt, now it's time to give it some meaning.......

Minermark, You are finding great deals in your neck of the woods. You could start a resale business. Rainy and cool this morning. Waiting for the sun later today. Until then, Duggan's and coffee.

It's better than that Stew. You have a job with medical and retirement it sounds like. That's a lot more than many these days.

Been so many years since i've lurked here that i had to make a new account ...lol Before the advent on the Jub , these munsters use to raine supreme . Started posting on these pages when my kids were still in diapers , now one has just graduated, so when the move out comes about , i'm pretty sure some of my klipsch collection will be leaving with the kids . Loads of new gear out there nowadays , but very few move " Air " like the good old Munster king of the k-horns ! Cheers to all my old friends : Dale W

So yesterday is payday. My rent was raised $100 per month. My paycheck reduced by $68 per month. Turns out the retirement portion paid by the employee was raised again. I now pay over $910 per month towards retirement. With retirement, taxes, medical … 49% of my check is gone before i see it. oh well, at least i have a job,

You can probably buff that out with some rubbing compound, no worries.

That's funny, I thought I was the only one to do that, I think there are laws about wasting coffee, or there should be. It's one of my favorite ways, it makes the waiting much easier.

A great actor RIP James Anyone who hasn't seen "Support your local gun fighter" needs to watch it, one of James Garners best and a classic comedy.

Morning, just got done brewing a pot myself. But as I waited I heated up a left over cup from the night before, not to bad. Waiting to call my step dad over for breakfast, bacon and eggs. Ok I am starting to worry a little. Its still early, take your time, and remember like Elvis said only fools rush in. Same here, looking at highs in the 90s with high humidity. Sounds like me last night as well, I was falling asleep at the computer desk while researching the JBL Caberet, or what I thought was the JBL Caberet.

You have found a source for the sauce ? please share, inquiring minds will want to know. Still on my first bottle. Nursing it until I get a resupply.

Running into some dead ends in the lady friend replacement search. One lady that I had been trying to figure out how to contact strolls into the music venue I attended last night. Her date kept his hand on her knee the entire night Another has her eye on someone else and waiting for him to ask her out But she will keep me in mind So the more I know about women the more I like Jake. Humidity has returned....glad I got the yard done yesterday. Finished the second may try a third with some Duggan's Cheers Gents

Working on the third cup-o-Joe w/Duggans, wildly texting the guy up in wash state, Amp deal im trying to pull off, 750 miles one way. The wife has NO PROBLEM with this impending trip, i just need to remember to add a Grand to the price of aquiring the amp(s).

You have found a source for the sauce ? please share, inquiring minds will want to know.

Mornin Gang: First pot brewin, The Duggans awaits.

The pump motor was about twice the price I paid 5 years ago. To add insult to injury, the motor is screaming. I'll need to take it all apart again tomorrow to exchange it for another.

Unbelievable, if it weren't from the government.

When I was in college my fraternity brother had a pair of Klipsch speakers..not sure of the model but they were big and when powered by my Yamaha CR-2020 were so loud the other fraternities were calling the police to complain about the volume. Currently I have a CA-2010 that's been checked by two technicians and they are amazed at how well it performs and sounds without any replacements. I am checking it on a regular basis to make sure everything's ok. I'm planning i'm dedicating my custom Heresy's to a tube system but I will try them out with my Yamaha as well.

Had a 50/50 mix of kona and 8'Oclock this morning. Started the day off on the right foot. All was well till I noticed the pool pump wasn't running. Burned up electric motor POS $%&@!!*#

While I did not "got it today" I did get the word that it is built and shipping Monday.

I like the Yamaha too! The CA-2010 integrated lives up to the "Natural Sound" name but there is also something really special about the CR-2020. The Pioneer is guaranteed to liven up the bass! Paul79 is well acquainted with my Pioneer SX-1250 since he is the one who built it! He will take good care of your old solid state if you need. If you never had your 40 year old amp or receiver recapped I highly recommend that you give Paul a call! His attitude seems to be pretty much that he is going to do things the right way and completely... and no BS. Thanks Paul! Now you've got me thinking about combing garage sales for an old 2330!

Klipsch saved the day and then some!!! Last week I visited New York for the first time since moving to Florida in the beginning of May. Before I flew out on Thursday I was informed that an event I was attending was in need of sound because something fell through. So rather than having my friends renting and wasting money on professional sound I volunteered my time and Heresy II speakers to power the event along with a KRK 10 subwoofer and an Onkyo A/V Receiver. The event went off without a hitch and I can say the sound performed better than most rigs I have used in Live Venues around New York City. Over 200 people attended the 10th Annual Drum & Bass BBQ and I saw nothing but smiles. I can honestly say I did not even have to come close to turning up the sound to the max to get desired volumes. I was told the sound could be heard from outside Cedar Creek Park in Wantagh too. So once again Klipsch sound did not disappoint. Thanks for making kick *** speakers that can hold up to anything!!!!

Hi, I just joined this forum, thanks! I have just bought a pair of Belles and they are on their way. Reading this thread is getting me excited! I'm planning to run them with my 50W per channel vacuum tube amplifier, in the back room (no room inside!), and hopefully bring them out under a covered patio for my vinyl get-togethers. I'll get used to them, then of course upgraditis will kick in! Can't wait! Geoff

Main thing is YOU are OK :-D cars can be replaced.

'round here, one of those ambulance chasin' lawyers could get you some $$$ for their pain & sufferin'...through law school...

That's funny, I thought I was the only one to do that, I think there are laws about wasting coffee, or there should be. It's one of my favorite ways, it makes the waiting much easier. Leftover reheated coffee is what turned me on to black coffee. It was a cold winter day with nothing to do, and for some reason it sounded good. So I went with it, and it's been that way ever since. In the winter I have my normal 2-3 cups in the morning. When I come from work I reheat the leftover to relax.

Ouch that sucks.

Have a chance to pick up a Marantz 1060 integrated amp, and a Pioneer SX-1250 receiver, both of which in superb condition. Beautiful vintage look, silver faces, the whole deal....However, am wondering about how these play with Heritage speakers, namely Heresy, Cornwall, Belle's....Anyone with experience here? Thanks. Jim

RIP He was a huge race fan, and raced himself, until his movie production folks told him not to. He drove the pace car for the Indy 500 once. I will watch the movie Gran Prix in his honor.

+1 on Rockford, also some of his western comedic roles, support local gun fighter, sheriff etc... RIP James

Just throwing this out there for the tinkerers, but this kinda sounds analogous to what what I've got shown below. At reduced listening levels, the EQ settings below work quite well by my ear. Transforms the stock La Scala sound into a more B&W style, laid-back sound. LaScalaEQ.jpg From your EQ settings, it appears you have basically smoothing the Lascala's response hump centered around 120hz, and reduced the output from 400-6k -6db like Dean is doing with his network. The tweeter reduction -3db just preference. Thanks for sharing. Dave

I saw this at a yard sale for $50 all in working condition, I checked it out for about a 1/2 hour. It has a big fold out sheet of schematics and owners manual with it. http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/grundig_ks_650_u_ks650u_console.html When I read the specs 7 watts out per side I thought it should work ok with Klipsch speakers. On the back it has the din plugs for external speakers. Now I don't know if this design of amp (what ever it is, push pull?) would be worth all the trouble of setting it up as a stand alone stereo. This receiver is also sold as the stereomeister 300. Any thoughts. Thanks, Ben.

Loved Rockford. RiP

I think the part quoted above is true. I believe that if the RSW-15s were to be placed out in the middle of the room, away from all walls (where no one would put them!), you would need 4 to equal one in the corner. Didn't Klipsch put the active driver in the back so that the wall (a few inches away) would load it? Have you talked to Klipsch? Are your bass traps tuned to a certain band of frequencies? REW should reveal all (I hope).

Moving along nicely, a lot further then I have gotten thats for sure.

We forgot to chlorinate last week and were in a bind to get the pool up and running. I use e-bay from time to time as well but I needed something quick.

Banana peppers are good to pickle, they have a mild bell pepper kind of taste which just takes on whatever flavor you add. Pickled about 25 quarts a couple years ago and still have about 10 left.

2013 tax's we lost our 2K homeowner write off and had to pay $280 bucks more, no status change in life style for the last five years, the culprut, Obama Care. it's us that are paying for it.

yeah, the Lord has smiled on me. Medical and retirements still from my military pension, and this current job--i've got no reason to whine.

Seems like certain older Tannoy models have become "collectible" and thus the goofy inflated prices. They do make some fine speakers though. I used to have a pair of their System 12 studio monitors, also duel concentric, which were quite nice and I was able to pick up used in the $400-500 range. Sold them when my K-horns came along.

The stray locals, one of my favorite bands, there cheap to see and always a good time. Although we have to drive an hour to see them, our real "locals" are always Bluegrass so we drive to hear other music.

Damned John Deere push mower won't start.....well it starts and runs till the gas in the primer is spent then cuts off. No kids around that like to work for money....parents just fork it over! Repair shop hasn't called back. Spent some of yesterday with the GF before last. Last night to a music venue to hear Stray Locals. Cheers Gents

not the cube. the mini marty sub. the cube is the marty cube. the mini marty is the long one, not the longest but long for sure. if you have space build the big one. the full marty is the name of that one. otherwise go with the mini marty. and i would do the vertical build as it takes up way less space and IMO looks much better

I go back and forth between the Pioneer and Yamaha with some Heresy 1's depending on my mood. Both are more power than I need. I don't get the Pioneer much past 9:00 usually. Looking for bass? Pioneer for sure

I wish they offered it in white or another color. It looks like the drawing kind of blends in with the shirt color.

^^^ our camera bag is marked DIAPERS

I was pretty sure it all started at the generation facility but I guess that shows how smrt I am. I bet these are so good you can plug Bose speakers directly in to them.

Hello fellow Klipschers, Faced a few days at the bottom of the pit, lost people dear to me, still not easy to talk about it. Lost our beloved cat who died of cancer slowly. Life took a turn for the bad. Met the woman that changed my life and made me see beauty in the world. I have come out of the pit now, rebuild my audio systems , renovated my place. And am in the process of expanding what will be probably one of the most demented subwoofer arrays ever. Have over 40 pro amps and even some on order. Lets say car like SPL output down to 10Hz, with ease. 36 Drivers will be used powered by over 130Kw of amplification for the subs. Iown several units of almost all high performance subwoofer drivers from around the globe. My sickness is my passion. Fantasy world, yes of course. Being sourrounded by dozens of subs for no truly practical reason is some form of fantasy.
