Progress: Before Now And a close up of giving the farmer(s) someplace to sit/charge their iphone(s) It's just their local River fishing Boat

New pot for the evening, again talking about coffee. Not much planned around here. Son had his tonsils out yesterday, so it's r&r for us. Maybe some cranberry and vodka for me. Then some work in the basement. Hopefully will have the bar roughed in this weekend.

Rhetor, I think you may be starting 2015 with a new domestic job. A healthy and prosperous New Year to all of you.

From Jake and Tarheel

Happy New Years Eve! Glad to see the condition and symptoms have an official name...Earitis I may have to create a work and reward program to visit the Forum Garage Sale & Alerts sections, only after I have earned it. My priorities have been a little off whack but I have not exceeded a 150 mile round trip gig, yet. Where is the Audio Aholics thread? "Hello, my name is Todd, and I 'm an Audio Aholic. I think I may have Earlitis." There I admitted I have a problem. I feel much better and feel I deserve to crank some tunes and have a drink. Everyone, have a safe New Years Eve and a healthy and prosperous 2015!

Everyone, please bow your heads for a moment of silent prayer for me. I am going in to clean both bathrooms, sinks, and toilets. I have not done that since I was young kid in the army. The lovely wife is at work and I am here at home. So I think I will just get my pressure washer out and see what happens! It will do 3200 psi. I just have to figure out which nozzle would be appropriate. ;-)

dude. don't make promises you can't keep. that's just wrong.

I want to thank you all for promoting me to “Legendary” status…although not sure what that says about all of you folks. I promise to use this power for good and not evil. Regards, Steve

Considering the thread topic is a secret, I'd have to agree with you. We could be on topic and not know it.

Good Afternoon, not much going on here just finished a war game with the boys (they got airforce blow guns for Christmas, They use nerf darts but man those things fly and can sting. Safety Goggles Required ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17yUp_Ych5w

Morning Gang New day, new year. Second cup, still collecting brain cells. Appears most survived the evening

I survived the two bathroom deep cleaning yesterday with lungs in tact. Lovely wife came home from work and thanked me over and over. She said in front of my mother, "I have never had any man clean a house for me like that before." (To be fair to me, we have only been married for 17 years). I responded, "Well, I have never been a kept man before with the woman as the primary breadwinner nor have I ever been somebody's trophy husband before." I hope I have not set a precedent, unless it is to only clean the bathrooms once every 17 years!

Happy New Year, all! Duder, hope your son is doing better with the tonsils out. Rough way to start the new year for a kid. Non-scientific studies reveal Popsicles and PS4 promote faster healing--I read that on the Internet somewhere, so it must be true! ;-)

Floor drain? Plan foiled again. Guess I use a mop, rather, scrub brush. And 4 or 5 of the 20 different cleaners my wife has stashed under the kitchen sink. Cover me . . . I am going in. "Incoming!" don’t mix chemicals … that can be toxic to breathe. One cleaner is enough.

Hopefully you have a floor drain.

dude. don't make promises you can't keep. that's just wrong. True, you do have a reputation to uphold, not even considering the raider stuff.

Same thing I cooked last night but with 10 here will have to cook again tonight. Going to make a fire outside by the bar, maby I can talk them into hotdogs on the fire ? Going for second cup right now, as soon as I press enter.......

Oh gag me with a spoon already guys...come on!... The ARE rare and hard to find for $1650. Much less rare and hard to find for $1200.

Kanpai

uh, yeah... not beating my chest. Just doing a very common forum thing, and that is attempting to keep a topic on-topic. OK, here's a riddle that, when solved, may get you more information before the 6th:. Gillette Steamboat #1 Bozo the Clown Chuck Noll Not much to this one.....The Gillette corp was formed in Boston. Voxx to acquire Boston Acoustics from D&M Holdings for undisclosed amount and stock options. Steamboat #1 did happen on the Little Red, but steam boating wasn't actually considered an implemented travel accomplishment until used on the Mississippi river in a Tennessee location and was dubbed the Southern Belle. Hence the release and bring back of the Klipsch Belle now known as the Belle II. Bozo the clown started in Chicago for Capital records but his rights were bought out by Hermon Scott in the mid 50's that also founded HH Scott and is also from the Boston Area. Voxx to purchase controlling ownership of HH Scott from Emerson electronics in resurrecting tube audio movement. Pfff. Chuck Noll was literally the coach known as "the man of steel" and also known as having the biggest hoedown disco parties of the 70's. He became such a fanatic about Turntables he had a huge hidden investment from a shell corp that was widely unknown until the 1980's. This shell company turned out to have ties to a Chinese corp that was funding a plot to collapse the integration of the Cassette revolution. This Chinese corp finally purchased the company and right to none less than the DUAL company of Germany. Oh yeah, this Chinese corp owns the assembly plants in China where Klipsch products are assembled and are intending on building a turntable with a Klipsch badge branding it.

Good afternoon Gang Back from the farm run(s) Real Bear not getting talked into staying for the start of their 3 day party, told everyone id be back around Fri/Sat Brewin a Pot of Straight Major Dickinsons Blend, got the Duggans, gettin a cup NOW! And working on the Boat Dash, pic to follow, just about done with the (mounted) layout

$97.50 to have the lap top scrubbed up and a free antivirus installed but I'm back. LF is coming over and we are going to a fundraiser dinner and dance for the Shrine club. Prime rib on the menu. May sneak one for Jake. Its cold for these old southern bones. If I wasn't such a fun guy I would stay home....safe and warm. Have a small bottle of Jack black to take and a lady driver to get me home. Getting ready for a cup to help me make it till midnight. Cheers Gents......and be safe. Talk again next year.

Same thing I cooked last night but with 10 here will have to cook again tonight. Going to make a fire outside by the bar, maby I can talk them into hotdogs on the fire ?...... You can probably talk them into dogs, if you get the stuff to also do s'mores. And if you had s'mores, myself, I would skip the dogs! Doing both, so no cooking for me, I don't know why but I love dogs. On the outside of the bar we have stainless coat hangers straightened except for the end curve, they stay hanging in one spot as it's a regular thing to do this in the winter, much less in summer. The wood is all ready and set up just needs to be lit when ready so I have nothing to do the rest of the day. Got a smoker, a nice grill, and a big fire pit just off the porch. I am always foraging the forest floor around the house for marshmallow and dog sticks. Note to self: forage the house for stainless steel coat hangers. Thanks for the tip. :-)

our safety monitor (Oldtimer) beat me to the punch…take his advice, he’s right.

Be careful mixing. Use lots of ventilation.

Floor drain? Plan foiled again. Guess I use a mop, rather, scrub brush. And 4 or 5 of the 20 different cleaners my wife has stashed under the kitchen sink. Cover me . . . I am going in. "Incoming!"

Oh Chad, The original content to this thread is really played out, it kind of Bores me at this point and I doubt that there aren't others with the same perspective at this Point! Let Audiovox have their little secret until they decides to launch it....show of hands, who cares??? I for one made a few guesses, but I for one will not be excited unless it has to do with Jubilee or Heritage and I sure don't see that as a good financial descision. I bought my mom an RF-7 surround system and didn't get excited when the RF-7IIs came out and a TOTALLY new RF series is going to excite me less than Paladium as NONE of it is Paul Wilbur Klipsch for me! Lock the thread if you need to bang on your chest but that is sure as heck (not the appropriate word here) NOT how Amy would handle it.... but do what ever gives you that great New Years feeling. Roger

Hello all, my nextdoor neighbor gave me his set of Klipsch Cornwalls he was my best friend like a brother. His wife said the speakers had to go before they moved. I don't know what year they were build in. The model is CDR15 the serail numbers is 3L118,3L119. The horns numbers are K33P,K77,K55V

Those of you from the future…what’s it like in 2015? Should i spend the final three hours of 2014 in excitement or should i head east to stay ahead of Father Time a bit longer? Are you guys flying around in spaceships? Wearing Shiny Silver Suits?

Travel time and expenses would be brutal. And all else involved.....

Congrats and welcome to the forum. How are you planning to use them? They are great for two channel or HT. What other supporting gear do you have?

I try not to let mine.

When I had my UMC-1, it sounded pretty good but honestly, there was too much tweaking in the settings and I never got it to sound the way I wanted it. IMO, the EMOQ was useless. It sounded pretty bad after auto-calibration. I then went into the EmoQ settings and manually began adjusting the EQ but the problem for me was I didn't know which frequencies needed boosting and which needed cutting. I was just randomly guessing so I made a cheezy smiley face on the EQ and it sounded pretty good. I'm sure if you know what you are doing, you can get the UMC-1 to sound great, I just did not have enough desire to spend hours trying to get it to sound fantastic. I would rather run an auto calibration (like Audessey) and maybe adjust levels and crossover and pretty much set it and forget it. I'm not much of a tweaker.

I actually had a pair of unmodified Cornwalls here that I picked up for a forum member. Had them out in the room and hooked to my 2 channel system. They sounded great. I'm sure with your mods and equipment they are awesome. The problem that I had with K Horns was that they had awesome (I mean AWESOME!!) dynamics, but the imaging was weird. I didn't realize what it was until I read the PWK paper on the "hole" in the center. If you get far back I think it goes away, but the imaging was a horseshoe shape and kind of flat. This was with stock drivers, and ALK crossovers, then triamped with all the fancy digital processing. The Palladiums do not do this, but they are small (mine are the 38's and 37's so even smaller than the 39s, about the size of RF7s) and do not have that huge impact of the K Horns, although they do dynamics very well. In any event, they are still great speakers and I hate to see any potential Klipsch customers skip them and buy B&Ws or Revels because of this forum. I really think that they are better because 100 or 200 wpc on a standard 15 amp circuit will drive them just fine.

Jim, I'll repeat what I've been saying on here lately. Before you plop down cash, consider renting some less expensive cables from the Cable Company (they charge 5%- not much when dealing with a $150 cable). Then, do your own blind listening test by having your wife, or one of your kids, switch cables (using a really crappy, generic cable as your control) without your knowing what you are listening to. The results will be enlightening. There are 2 main issues with interconnects (other than durability). One is the amount of shielding, and the other the capacitance. A cable with, say, 50% shielding may allow noise to enter the system if it is routed near the AC power cords (something which should never be done under any circumstances). Those with 100% shielding will be more "forgiving." The other is the capacitance which, if the run is very long and the capacitance very high, may cause a little high frequency rolloff (with a 3 foot length it's unlikely to be a problem anyway). In audio, as with many other things, you need to experience this yourself because no one can have any idea what you are hearing or how your brain processes the information. Maynard

Klipsch Beans in an easy open can?

Largely enslaved to cell phones that constantly fail. So far, the future sucks. However, the Klipschorn's that were obviously designed by a time traveler using advanced technology are still working nicely. Dave

Join me and eat some Sushi....

what is the temp mark? california cold down here…headed out this morning and was in the 40s

Oh yeah definitely for the dog. I mean the dog not you.

Maybe klipsch is going into the black blanket market

Well i want to jump in on this subject for just another opinion. I have heard the P39s in two very dramatically different setups. The first time i heard them was on a poorly setup system in Tampa florida when i sold my 4 THX ultra two subwoofers to someone who had the P-39s setup with a Yamaha AVR. they didn't sound nearly as impressive as i would have thought for the price tag they carry. I listened to them with another good friend on the forum who also agreed. That being said i took the opportunity when i purchased my Lascars to listen to them from a forum member who had them setup properly with very expensive Macintosh gear. My thoughts are that they sounded about 80% better than my previous listening environment. The Palladiums have their place and outshine most of all the speakers i have heard across the board from different companies in that price range, but that being said they in my opinion only are not Klipsch's crown jewel. They are by far the most beautiful speaker they make and a lot of time and engineering went into these for sure and if they were for the right price/deal yeah they are worth picking up but i feel for certain environment and purposes different speakers are made by our beloved company for different reasons. The Cinema speakers of course probably have some of the largest and most effortless powerful big sound that represent movie soundtracks and music very accurately. Why shouldn't they they are enormous speakers that are used behind gigantic screens in commercial cinemas that are out of sight from viewers. They are not aesthetically pleasing and are meant to bring beautiful accurate sound from behind screens. Even the THX ultra 2 system that i use in my private cinema are nothing to look at but Black boxes which i also hide behind my theater screen. The heritage line which i feel mixes some of that huge sound from the cinema line with some nice aesthetics are some of my favorite sounding speakers Klipsch offers but also are very large and hard to place in an every day environment if you own say Khorns, lascalas, or anything of that sort. I think your interest and purchase of the P39s was a good one. They are not within reach of some members and will bring very nice sound both for movies and music to your home theater and be probably the best looking speakers you will own from Klipsch. If you were building a theater that had a enormous wall to hide commercial speakers behind sure then you could try other options. The Jubs are something i would love love love to listen to for a very long demo and have my mind blown for a few hours but i'll admit i wouldn't plan to purchase those speakers and bring them into my home because of their size and appearance. None of what I'm saying is meant to be offensive in any way just another honest opinion on what i have heard. For movie theater like sound over even the heritage line i still prefer the THX ultra 2 KL-650s behind my screen paired with my anthem amps and the only upgrade for that type of sound i could think of after hearing so many different klipsch speakers would be the pro line if there were an enormous room with a false wall for them to hide behind. For music it would still be the Heritage line with their large cabinets and silky smooth highs/accurate mids. I think you made a good decision on your P39s and to the OP for $1200 i would pick up that center in a heart beat and if i didn't like it sell it in your situation. I don't think Scrappy meant anything bad he is just giving you an honest opinion that yes i admit has truth to it because some of the other speakers from Klipsch sound better than their Palladium line. He is someone who's opinion i value and i consult with when making purchases etc and although sometimes he can be direct with what he tells you he is telling you from his honest two ears. We all on here for the most part consult with each other for good reason.

Well I have always loved this shot, maybe not your classic audio tube glow but how wicked is this

I think the quest for the RC64 is on! Might as well do it right.
