Happy Tuesday folks. Not much on the agenda today. Already voted by mail-in. Perhaps today is the end of obnoxious political attack ads. Hope so.5 points

Morning gang Trash Tuesday, nothing to do really with the Voting, i must get my trash to the curb. Told the wife she is riding with me yesterday, after hitting the Pub and collecting light winnings and dumping old 12Ga reloading gear, hit Bev Mo, they will price match Total Wine if you ask them. My Lagavulin 16 was up to $89 bucks, after price matching, $60 bucks, meanwile i sent the wife over to Skeetchers? shoe store. Then off to Red Lobster who just updated their menu same day. Im sure the wife enjoyed her day off. Retirement, it's something to look forward to, just dont wait too long.5 points

I got this off of CL, the owner had it fixed at a local repair shop and then thought it still had problems, turns out he just liked to listen to music real low and the internal amp would shut off. It took the repair shop 8 months to fix it and in the meantime he got another sub. It is pretty much like new and sounds fantastic, blends well with the Forte II's and will shake the house. Best of all I got it for a 100 bucks. This is the one with the single 12" no passive and rear mounted amp. Hard to imagine you get that much bass from a 13" cube.4 points

Third cup-o-joe w/Duggans down and going for the forth. 70 Degree days i like, getting many projects completed. Cables/wires i hate, cleaning up the desk area after the Tv install...FINELY after four years of hanging wires everywhere. In the Pic, to the right is the CCTV coverage of the homestead, the monitor below it is indeed Radar, (weather), something to play with during those rainy days i hope we get this winter.4 points

Tried that line on the wife, didn't work. There have been MANY bad "organ" jokes in our house. Keep trying!!4 points

If they stretch it past, there will be an uprising... Good organ playing weather... You got that right ...on both counts! Then again, ALL weather is good organ playing weather. Think I'll call up a buddy who keeps a guitar at my house (he's a sometimes pro musician) and see if we can do some jammin'.4 points

Doing the math on retirement...Good Morning...frisky as a squirrel's tail...fall here for a certain. Next I will be complaining about it being too cold...what a malcontent. Nice weather is something to not complain about but, to celebrate here in Cleveland. It never rains in California :emotion-29:3 points

Agreed there are too many people who say they don't care, until the minute they wake up and realise that seemingly innocent piece of technology has eroded away a piece of THEIR privacy. I can never understand that attitude. This is MY world, my life, and my freedom, and I value it.3 points

As requested by dtel, here are several pics of my house as it was being built, pics obviously suck and were taken on a phone so I apologize. We took inspiration from colorful houses we like in the Bahama's and Key West. Don't have a lot of finished ones on me but I took several facebook pics while it was being built. I did most of the interior work, I painted the whole thing myself, did all the base boards, all the flooring, all the theater room wiring, all the insulation, all the design work, a good chunk of the electrical, and most all of the land development such as driveways, clearing trees, running trenches, my dad and me did all the porch rails and steps, etc. It took forever, pretty much every night and every weekend plus three weeks of vacation just to do my part. Living room, yes the ceilings are blue, there is a southern tradition that came from the caribbean where people believed that a certain type of really mean spirits called "haints" could not cross water, and painting your ceiling sea green or light blue, especially over doorways, tricked them into thinking they could not come in. Most "haint blue" has more green in it but my wife wanted it to match the sky more than water, which is harder than it sounds. We tried matching pictures of the sky with a color but it just doesn't work. master bathroom, crema marfil countertops from near the eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain, mother of pearl mirrors, Italian tile: front porch with a matching Mojito: back porch, colors are off here for some reason. We upholstered our own pillows with Sunbrella material. front while still being built, my dad and me did it all: kitchen before completed, KraftMaid cabinets with blue pearl granite from Norway: exterior at night: kitchen now has shelves I made, there are Jimmy Buffett records and colorful fiestaware dishes on them: All the bedrooms are sea green or blue, this one is Tiffany blue, you can't actually name it that due to copyrights but we got a Tiffany's bag and matched it. pirate room:2 points

Good day so far, hit the Pub for a couple of brews @9am, costco does not open till 10am so breakfast was in order. Found a new breakfast joint, Koren, and they has warm saki, interesting with breakfast. Costco has Peets coffee, so stocked up on Major Dickinsons blend, the norm would be to just purchase paper products, maybe $35 bucks, however with Saki being involved $90+ later good thing there are no audio stores around here2 points

Well I decided to keep these, setting them up in the bedroom. Funny thing happened today, I got a call from Fedex with them saying they found my "lost" receiver I sold through Ebay back in May. It never made it to it's destination and they wrote it off as a loss and payed me for the unit. They asked me if I wanted it back and I said yes. So they are sending it back, and letting me keep the money they paid me for the unit when they lost it. So I guess it's a sign not to sell these. How do I go about taking these off the market here?2 points

The Pres.....my wife....yelled from her Presidential office into my Vice-Presidential bay and said......... "shop closed tomorrow.......nothing on the schedule and it's election day"........ My Pres is "OK" withe me :-)2 points

Yep I read it, it's amazing you made it home in those tough conditions, almost like a fireman. I bet the plants and grass didn't even recognize what was happening, and to think some places have frozen water falling from the sky ! These places are uninhabitable most of the year for normal human beings, as it should be, but some crazies live there anyway, it's called northern states, Sounds crazy but it's true !2 points

Thanks, whats kind of funny is I took the guys word for it that it needed repairs and sold one of my home made subs to cover the costs, a real nice guy came and picked it up yesterday and then I tried out the sub only to find there was nothing wrong with it. Oh well I can always build another, but really like what this puts out and the size of it is just insane vs. output.1 point

It is a Heresy II, (you can tell by the K79 tweeter horn), with a different network and usually pebble paint, corners, handle. But as TS noted, like Hersey and HP, HIP, they were frequently custom ordered for churches and schools and came in a multitude of cabinet styles. Actually they do better in the LF department than the beefier KP250 with it's 200 watt woofer and port. Usually it's a sacrifice of low bass for more output on these models.1 point

Well thank YOU Greg, a killer deal I just could not let pass. It is actually for fellow forum member "Video Guy", I did the deal 1. because my sister lives about 30 miles from Greg and could do the pick up thing and 2. If VideoGuy Larry got cold feet and backed out I would be overjoyed to add another Academy to the Klipsch pool. Thanks again Greg and thanks to Klipsch for this forum that makes us all one big family.1 point

That opening is a bit alarming, I have never heard that much output from my F20s. I wonder how many subs it as killed. Good flick. many. There is a whole thread about it on Avs. Lol. Poor subwoofers. We watched it tonight. While I'm not sure what the point was, it was kind of fun. I popped it in and the conversation went something like: me: Yeah the intro of this is supposed to give your subs a good workou..... subs: BRRAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP me: Yeah, there it is... subs: BUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPP.... me: Well that's interesting, I didn't know that wall had so many rattles in... subs: FFFTTTTHHHPPPTHTHTPPPHPPPPPP subs: flap flap flap flap flap flap whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh me: ugh.1 point

Active.....hmm........and you have noise. Can I ask if the amps you are using have gain controls? If you have an active system and can't reduce the gain on your amps, and are using your processor to do this, you are going to get noise. Changing amps won't fix it. Edit.........to qualify that.........changing amps won't fix it unless you don't have gain controls and you change the amps to amps with gain controls. Then you should be able to dial out the noise if the amps are half way decent.1 point
