Just to prove it.

We are having friends over for ribs tonight so about noon I'll be throwing 4 slabs on the pellet smoker.

Morning folks been up since 4 dunking doughnuts and coffee. Woke the kids up at 530 and surprised them with a trip to Disney world. So now sitting at the air port. They where so excited they didn't even care to have a second doughnut.

Reminds me for a Meat Market run today. The Duggans is tasting mighty fine this morning. Day two of the air thick with smoke, however it is only 73 in the cave right now, and im lovin it.

even well done burgers gotta be juicy....no hockey pucks goin down my throat! and forget most pre packaged burgers....WAY too thin.....thick and juicy people!

just knock the horns off, wipe him in the arse, and trot him on out here... Burn.Yes, please; like mine burned. Medium-Raw is disgusting; and, with Hamburger, un-safe. I don't care for medium either, rare please if you insist on cooking it at all.

The last couple days I have been working on the giant jukebox pictured. The speakers that were in it were elcheapo Chinese speakers, and one was blown, and the other was good from about 65Hz-6kHz, and that was terribly distorted. I donated a pair of unrestored KPT-200's to the project. They sound miles better. I am going to build a BFM T-30 to fit in the center where the racks are. I will gut the rack, and have the mouth of the tuba shooting between the two KPT-200's. Enough said, here are some pictures: What KPT-200's look like. These are restored, I used a couple unrestored ones that are 100% mechanically sound. The speakers came from surrounds of an iMax. A couple of stacked 2" X 10" beneath the speaker which has a 9-1/2" base. 2" X 4" on the sides. Very nice fit! Everything screwed tightly in place. I don't know if you can tell in this picture, but the front slopes forward just like the KPT-200. The top front of the speaker is against the face of the jukebox, and the botton is about 2" back. A sheet of 1/2" plywood cut to fit. Wood screws attach the plywood to the 2" lumber and to the speaker. Yes, I ran those screws right into the speaker! Don't worry, they aren't deep enough to hit the crossover. Henry is in there painting them up: All done, and sounds great! Here is the front of the jukebox:

The Magic Kingdom surprise on a Saturday morning? Now that is special!

COOL!! #1 dad today or what?! have fun.

SVS offers a 30 day free trial. You have nothing to lose by trying and returning if not satisfied. Best regards, John

Ah, yeah... Waukesha, Kenosha, and Madison? What are they, nuts?! For starters, Waukesha is a great place to work, not live. Good industry there, but everyone commutes from either Pewaukee, Franklin, or Brookfield. Kenosha is not technically Wisconsin. It is a satellite suburb of Chicago. Almost everyone that lives there is a recent transplant from Illinois and commutes from there to work. ...And then there's Madison. Great place?? It's a zoo...straight up. Too many people, from too places, all trying to do whatever the hell they want, at any given hour. The algorithm for the spreadsheet was written by a clown. Ask any bona fide cheesehead where the best places to live in Wisconsin are and the answers will be much different. More like Hayward, Eau Clair, La Crosse (when it's not flooded), Wausau, Ashland, Kohler, Cedarburg, anywhere in Door County (if you're filthy rich), and maybe Appleton if you're into suburban sprawl.

What do they call raw hamburger? Medium rare here. Very pink, but not purple. Steak medium rare. Just finished an omelette and already getting hungry for a big burger.

This thing is cool. It has a detachable trailer, and a gear system that lays the jukebox down on it's back in the trailer. It is quite clever and self contained. Here is a picture of the detached trailer:

The day is early JL..... Just thinking about a meet for happy hour.

How About something like this? lets call this a picture 1 Or this? call this picture 2

You're the man duder! Welcome to the coffee klatch angus! Cool, overcast, and windy here. Heading to the dog park with the critter. Cheers Gents

Save yourself a great deal of money and buy a set of Phillips 6BG6GAs with adapters from Mike Marx (http://www.vacuumtubes.com/6BG6.html). As to sound, only you can be the judge. I've used the 6BG6s in many amps (both pentode and triode strapped) and think they sound terrific fwiw. Maynard

I hope you figure out a solution and maybe we can have a pair built. I just picked this center up from a forum member. Well, I didn't pick it up - he delivered it! But when I'm sitting in my chair the horn blocks the bottom of the screen - or the Broncos score in this case. Before the drywall went up, I wired a center channel speaker wire to the ceiling, in the event I wanted to mount my academy.

TUBES über alles! Yes, the 500c is a keeper and sending it to Craig is a great idea! And yes, in my opinion you are missing something. I enjoy and use SS too but if I could only choose one I'd have to go with tubes.

Instead of altering the networks, try room placement to bring up the bass as described below. That will restore some balance low to high and reduce early high freq reflections. DOPE from HOPE Toe In.pdf 159k .pdf file Setup of WG Speakers.pdf 206k .pdf file

The is a Pioneer SC 1523 in the garage sale area for $700 with all the belles and whistles. This is a great avr.

Let me come up with the cabinet volume. I can make the cabinet no issues at all. I have a full woodshop filled with all the tools needed to get this job done.

I think I am shooting for 30 inches tall. I will put the 510 on one side. this option...

thank`s Muel and jimjimbo I think its going to be the 500-c . I will let you know when it comes back from craig .

A perfect fit, just look at that I'm getting what I want smile ! Haven't done ribs in a long time, and looking at that you have me wondering why.

It's a habit I had since I was a little kid, when with my mom the butcher hand me meat from behind the counter, he had the same habit and was happy to see me come in. I guess I have just been lucky, wonder if it's why I have an iron stomach as my wife says ? I can eat anything anytime of the day and never have a problem.

Awesome, congratulations! Send Schu some pictures

. In Idaho?! LOL!! More like about 8 bucks an hour...

How about this one? I like it, but it will indeed sacrifice some of my screen size in height. Probably looking at least 36 inches tall...

I agree and that's why I cross over in the range Chris mentions. Of course, my HT mains are KLF-30's and they dig pretty deep to begin with. Somewhat different story if I was using main speakers that crapped out below 60 Hz.

Transformers 4 on 9.30.14 will be the first.

FJD has picked them up.

Thanks derrick, one more question, do you think it's worth upgrade from RF-82ii to RF-7 ii to pair with RC-64ii provided that i'm a 100% HT guy, no music whatsover? I am with CECAA850 on getting the subs if HT is what you want. The RF 82's should be fine. They are very capable speakers. You may find that you don't need a XO of 120 Hz. I have all the slam that anyone could want with the subs XO at 80 Hz. The goal is the seamless blend of the mains and subs.

Get an ultra and be done

lots of info and references here. Schumann Resonator.pdf

It's ridiculous that you cut up a couple of 2x4's and everything frames up perfectly! Why doesn't that ever happen on any of my projects? +++ That Rollin' Jukebox is cool, not to mention BIG. I think it was probably a good thing you did not pick up that Peavey system for this jukebox project. That would have taken a small army to move around.

Some will say this and that, it doesn't matter to me I know what I am hearing now and I know what I was hearing before!!! The difference is huge like night and day, I can never go back now after hearing what I am hearing now. Get some acoustic treatment in your room, along with some EQ and time and phase alignment and enjoy the music!!!

I'm a dedicated tube guy. It's a different flavor and then some. Personally, I feel tubes and horns are a great marriage. Well to be honest tubes and electrostats are an epic marriage sometimes a bit like Burton and Taylor though...

my wife listened also....kinda "trippy!"

You could get a nice auto AT screen(like the one I have). You wont even know its in the room when its up. The pq would be a lot better also. Im going to keep trying Option 1 would be the best I think. You could put the 402 in middle and 1 15" on each side of it. That would be a pretty big box. But how good would a 402 sound a few inchs from the floor?

dtel, Since you put it so eloquently... Yea both...I help the girls in the bikinis out with assembly

In case your wondering how big a 402 is, here is a great comparison

dtel, Watching those Cornwalls being made....that would be a perfect job for me when I retire.... Thanks for the pics

The issue is that the employee at the door has no discretion, He was told the only thing that was to sell were iphones. When we had small hardware, electronics, food, etc., stores, employees could use their brains and exercise their judgment. In big stores, as with an assembly line, you do what you have been told...no more, no less.

​i’m impressed and found that enjoyable. Will listen again. Thanks for posting this. Equally impressed by the concept itself--i like it when someone has an idea and makes it happen.

Saw a bumper sticker during the Oil Embargo of the '70's: Drive 90, Freeze A Yankee

It's been my experience that subwoofers perform better for the infrasonic portion of the aural spectrum, i.e., 40 Hz and below. Loudspeaker bass bins are much better above that frequency--categorically. I believe the tendency to run the crossover frequency higher is something that the cheap "home theater in a box" folks started with their tiny little loudspeakers, and before that, the movie theaters used because of the immense size of their venues and the problems that they used to have filling those room volumes with large amounts of low frequency acoustic energy below 80 Hz --this is a historic thing that movie theaters ran into, and THX took ownership of. Otherwise, I think that the movie theaters would've run that crossover frequency much lower Putting the subwoofer/bass bin crossover at 40-50 Hz significantly helps to keep modulation distortion down to manageable levels in home theaters. YMMV. Chris

My future daughter-in-law sang in most of those videos...it's pretty special to us, too. Thanks for posting.

The only problem is that even though you can get the drivers time-aligned, you still won't have a phase coherent (linear phase) system. Time alignment helps with better focus but the rasp & harshness will still be there albeit to a lesser extent. In the end I finally decided to can the idea. In the old days this probably didn't matter so much because other forms of distortion and distortion in other components masked it. This is one area where Klipsch has really missed the boat and unfortunately Paul Klipsch never quite got it either. However one has to keep in mind the era/generation PWK is from and what was known and available. I'm 62 and PWK graduated college years before my parents were even born. He worked at GE when Thomas Edison was CEO. I guess what I'm saying is the time alignment exercise with Klipschorns is interesting, and while not without benefit, is of limited usefulness in that it still doesn't solve the problem. Not to name names, today there are other products which have. And I'll bet my booty that PWK or Roy Delgado wished that they had thought of it first.

yeah i saw. i kinda dont wanna spend $180 when i have a perfectly working set of speakers though.
