OK, I'll admit, I'm pretty sure I was the first to leave the party, and it may very well still be going on, but regardless, it was a terrific get together.... Many, many thanks to Seth and his lovely wife for hosting the event and being so gracious in sharing their home for all of us Klipsch aficionados....Lots of great food and drink, vinyl, Blu Ray's, DVD's, CD's, streaming....Old school rock, blues, acoustic, jazz, Beatles, Bee Gees, electronic dance, concert videos. Seth had his beautiful pair of Cornwalls, Jimjimbo brought his ClaudeJ1 Super Heresy "Baby Cornwalls", and Jason wrestled a great Table Tuba into the room. Seth's tube amp, JimJimbo's ampsandsound Stereo 15 tube amp, and Mark's older Marantz were all auditioned and sounded great. I'm sure lots of other comments to come from other folks. Again, thank you all for attending, it was great to meet everyone. Initial setup

Back from the leaf looking in the NC mountains.....nice weather and good company.

Always welcome Mark. Can't wait until you are up and running. Need to get off of my azz and do some hobbying! Have all the fun for now

Ah Sunday morning. Zip planned, still playin around with my big dish, after 20+ years of storage and getting kicked around in storage, many interesting problems arise. Bad receiver, bent brackets, even found the RG6 Coax was crap after all this time. Looks like Tarheel is doing well, excellant.

Tarheel, those are great pics. The last one of you two is a great one. I just wonder how you where able to get a bear to hold your camera, very talented.

Good Morning! Cup # 2. NFL day, and continue to learn and configure a new AVR. They need to make this stuff more user friendly, and or I need some stronger coffee. Nice pics Tarheel. Thanks for sharing your outing. Shower pics still coming?

How about Colt McCoy! The best benching sitting QB in the NFL....

Thanx BB, i have a pretty good stash of "Cables" myself, over the years i collected spools of everything. When moving into this current house 5 years ago, came home with a pick up truck full of spool wire from my storage unit. And in fact i remember worrying about the attic rafters wile stashing the wire up there.

Got new rg-6 here too a spool...let me know. That & rec. yours for the asking. *Tarheel did good...very

Well now, those pics worth waking up to. She is a looker! Good job my man! Course you are looking too!

Looks like a perfect day!

Jim- So this is how you spend your Saturday when the Wolverines have a bye? Thanks for the report and the photos. Any chance of linking some names to the faces in the photos?

It was a great time. Thanks seth, and this will not be the last gtg. More tomorrow after a good night of rest.

We just got back to the hotel. My list of names to thank is to all. Most of all thank you to Lemon string! That was a great day. I believe there are still demos going on now. I cant wait to spend time on the klipsch forum describing some bucket list gear I got to hear throughout the day. I somehow actually missed some gear that I wanted to hear. Some very impressive swap outs and switch with amps, subs and speakers going fluidly throughout the day/evening...that was a demo day I dream about. That was awesome! Cheers!! P.s.if any locals havnt been to kiss the sky wow you gotta. Lp wise gonna be tough to beat. Cd wise was about as good as it gets. reel to reel is pretty darn good as well. All playback new and used was very good. what a day! great group of guys. and I gotta hand it to you lemon string...you fed and served drinks to us all like champs...and you still have at least 3 40" inch pizzas left lol im still stuffed haha Cheers! that day was awesome! could not ask for nothing more!

TSI are flagship. RTi are mid level Bill

you can try a very simple mod which takes almost no time to do. Set the speakers up so that the centre of the mid horn is at your seated ear level. This will provide you with the very best possible stage and image. Easy to do and undo if you don't like the change. Does not have to cost you a dime. Best regards Moray James. I have them set up that way with the spikes, tilted back so the mid is pointed right at ear level, much better. tilting helps and is better than doing nothing but it screws things up compared to having the speakers firing square to you at your listening position. Why don't you try and compare the two methods and see for yourself? Best regards Moray James.

Good afternoon folks!! I finally got tired of seeing the ghoulish outline of a guy whenever I posted something, so I found a picture of my favorite musical instrument (the one I own and play most every day) and put it up. Of course, it's a Hammond B3. Hope you all are enjoying a great Sunday. We have resort weather here in the Denver area and will take it as long as we can get it. Cheers. Chuck.

Onkyo is to Marantz as Klipsch is to Klipsch Pro.

I knew I would get questions about who was in the photos, so I'll do the best I can Look at the last photo with everyone standing and from left to right: (I apologize that I forgot the last gentleman on the right....) Rick (Seth's neighbor, and very nice guy!), Beeker, JimJimbo Jason STR, (Jason, Table Tuba builder master...), Brandon (Opus2k9), Gary (Gnote), Derrick (Derrickdj1), Mark (Bubo?), Seth (Lemonstring), and then? (again, sorry...) A few additional notes: Yes, this is how I would like to spend all my Saturdays when the Wolverines have a bye (and this season, I wish they had more byes.....) Gary, I apologize for not saying goodbye, I think you may have been outside somewhere when I took my leave, and yes, I was concerned you would follow me and try to abscond with my Stereo 15...LOL Brandon, thank you for your invite to your home to see your great collection and your two beautiful puppies.... Again, Seth, thank you so much, it was a real pleasure.

I guess you kept it after all ......... worth every penny imo!

Dammit, man! So many tasty choices here! That Jolida looks fantastic! I wish I had the cash for something like that. BillyBob, you mentioned onkyo may have mini amps, but all I can find are their compact systems and a $600 "slim" amp. I'd love to stick with onkyo. Otherwise, I've seen a Dayton DTA-120 that looks to fit the bill. Anybody have experience with it? I'm now leaning toward the Topping or the Dayton.

Enjoyed seeing the photo's.... Thanks for posting....

Estate sale Polk Monitor 10s for twenty bucks.

Good prices, especially on the CF-3. You should measure the depth of the ports on the bottom, if they are 5", they are version 1 which are the sought after one. Good luck with your sale.

It's very strange to me that in stereo there is little bass. I wonder if settings are correct in the Denon. Try using your Denon as a pre-amp and feed the RCA output to your friend's Pioneer A-229. If the bass is back, you have confirmed that the amp of the Denon is the problem. If the bass is still gone, you have confirmed that it's a setting in the Denon's pre stage.

Please define "6 alarm ditz" and "full on fruit bat" so "old guys" know what your talking about. JJK

I really like seeing pictures and descriptions of these get-together events. [Can someone identify forum names with the faces in the above pictures?] For the participants in these social events, they allow the participants to get to know each other in way that is not available online. I've found that participants can be very different in real life than their online personas would indicate. It's all better than cyberspace-only conversation, IMHE. Thanks for the write-up. Chris

Robinson had the defense beat WITHOUT the pick. No reason for that. ND loses by 4 points.

If you are into Tube Amps as I am, I have one of these for my 'Travel Amp'. 20 watts per Channel 6 1/2 inches deep and your requested Volume Control. Only $200 ! Only 10 inches wide. And yes TUBES !!

I have been eyeing these for some time. http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/teacah01sa/teac-ah-01-stereo-amplifier-with-digital-to-analog-converter-silver/1.html#!specifications Actually Crutchfield has them for less. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_063UDH01S/TEAC-UD-H01-Silver.html?tp=59309&awkw=75622002145&awat=pla&awnw=g&awcr=47439277225&awdv=c Bill

Let's hear it for Nebraska tonight for our friend duder....

That's where I got mine as well, good products and service. Dave

Big 12 no conference CG=severe disadvantage getting in with 1 loss

Notre Dame played an excellent 1/2 of football. Lets see if they can keep it up. Kelly is coaching very aggressive. Gotta like that!

That's a big "if," but it could happen... It happened! Yes indeed, great game WVU.... For those who didn't know, I was in the WVU Marching Band, BITD. Percussion section. I had Baylor in the final 4 with Oklahoma, who also lost today. I think all my final four pics in this poll are now history, maybe Florida State is left, I'll have to check. It was a sloppy game, as Baylor set a school and Big 12 record for stupidity with 18 penalties and nearly grabbed the national record with 215 yards in penalties! (short by about 20 yards) WVU wasn't much better, with 14 penalties and 3 turnovers. Baylor is NOT a top four team with that amount of penalties, and neither was OK which they proved by not being able to punch it in with first and goal late in the 4th period, and by missing a field goal which was shorter than a PAT! I don't think any Big 12 team can now climb into the final four. It now looks like the ND/FSU winner vs three teams from the SEC West.

im thinking pro amp for lcr and then transducers.

Thanks, buddy. Yeah, I've seen that ad but I'm just not too interested in heresies. If I'm going to buy heritage it's going to be Forte IIs. I just thought I might get away with building some heresies for cheap.

Here today, gone to maui.

well the theater is finished....for now lol. the room is anyways. i made a very large frame for the ceiling and wrapped it in the same fabric as the false wall and panels. then hung the doors and the panels at the first reflection point. bought room darkening curtains as well.

These are Craig's, which are very similar to Jan's. Jan has a very nice set of Universals which I built him about a year ago, but he much prefers the Jupiter build. This is pretty much where I'm at too, the Jupiters are just killer

I wish I could make a platter of burgers, eat one, and the pile never goes down.

Get the biggest Klipsch you can fit and afford is my advise. It will save you a lot of money in upgrades. Getting small Klipsch with a sub will mean smaller drivers and horns. It will matter I promise. My advise comes from my own mistakes. Learn from them

La Scalas don't dig deep, but they do 80 Hz and above very well! Better than the Heresy! What would you use as center? surrounds? Three LS II in the front would be awesome.

If you have the money, go for La Scalas. Combine those with a good horn sub and you have a better sounding system than most theaters.

You guys are killing me! Here's the impenetrable wall. This is my secret defense against a front on assault by some bozo in a VW Jetta trying to crash through my garage door.... SURPRISE!!!!! Bet ya didn't see that coming!
