There's a story on Yahoo's main page "12 Ways You're Making Your Coffee Wrong". May want to look at it further later. Our by laws require that we mention cables in this thread every 60 days so is anyone still using cables? How about power cords? Speaker wire? Or are we all wireless now? Looking at other threads I saw a table tuba....looked interesting. Are those the folded horn subs? Retirees.....it's Tuesday......go on back to bed. Painting continues....like the color. HK amp packed and ready to go to FedEx. Going to double box with another FedEx box. Remember the time I bought a TT from a Canadian named Vladimir who used wadded newspaper as packing Cheers :emotion-44:Gents

Morning Gang Little slow getting started today, Tripped over Cable, coffee pot again. Really need to convert that critter to 110V one of these days, however a 220V Perkolater cranks out a cup of Java fast Tuesday, trash can to curb, this week i overstuffed it, ill just warp an old cord around the lid, worked last time. And finely we all know what day it is =

Hey guys.... Just a quick goodmorning to ya all. 2nd cup in the to-go cup and off to the shop. Nothing new just still busy at the shop. Used car guys still on me.......again nothing new. Joe, good luck to ya in NC. Still hope you find the wallet.....but it sounds like it's gone :-( Wishing all a great day.... MKP :-)

Big FAT WOOHOO!!! My 1st Klipsch R-115SW is on its way. Wow, that was a hard button to push, "complete purchase"! I haven't been this excited since the Scala's. This is a huge deal for a man of such modest means. YAY YAY YAY !!! Now to start saving for the 2nd one p.s. -someone please buy my R-12SW (pair)- please

Congratulations on the sale. The HK A500 is a really nice integrated and you offered it up at a great price. I was going to post a few specs for you and a headphone modification; however, before I got a chance to log in the amp was sold. Not completely wireless. How is this for the requirement? Late breaking news hot off the presses on why premium cables cost so much!

You are definitely a creature of habit ! Your going to need some road trips in the future, to spend some serious $, cave shopping, think space, as to stay out of trouble. Yes we do miss the road trips for speaker runs, however with the impending retirement of the wife coming up here short time, like less than 60 days, Reno runs are planned, real estate search must happen, oh yeah, she wants a new car too.

I think I had one for a boss like that once.

Morning yet again Plan of the day, Costco (Dire need for Brownie Bites) Smart & Final, Cheese baby, by the Brick ! last two for months Machine shop, drop my Drillpress shaft for a machined taper so i can use my new chuck Pub, wait for Costco to open, looks like a Polish Dog breakfast today

Bylaws are bylaws, so here goes: CABLES!! Great looking sub, Carl. Somehow I missed that thread previously. Looks like we're in for a few more inches of snow later today. This is getting old, but it's only March and our water supplies should be in good shape for the summer. Check back in a while. Have a good day guys. Chuck

Yes. Here's what they look like inside (from one of my builds). You can finish them however you like. TABLE TUBA I remember that build, well done, that picture really helps explain the design. To me excluding the IB I think a folded horn is the next best design.

I have the entire Black Sabbath collection in shuffle mode streaming from my PC. Pretty chill night with homemade burgers and fries. Quite delicious actually. Sometimes the simple things are the best.

What jason str said... Nothing like a folded horn on QUIET bass. Big leiblich geideckt organ pipes. Yeah, I know most have no clue what I am talking about but these are LOW, and they are quiet. Folded horn can provide an experience virtually identical to being there. Boxes and ports tend luff and sound like subwoofers. Basically, the same thing that makes horns good for everything else as well. Organic...as it were. Dave

So I have missed a few days helping dad out and all and we also had to move the motor home, I the wife and the boys are all happy new residents of North Carolina snow and ice on the ground in Md. and its like 60+ degrees here in NC today Still no luck finding the wallet, but applied to renew the license on line so if that works out it should be of little consequence.................turns out pretty much everything else is more or less not needed............ Cheers guys Joe

Alright we have had our thread of two (and More) Favorite movies, time for the Bad one's, and i mean the ones when you get done watching them you figure you have just lost two or more hours of your life you will never get back ! You can include as i have, the ones you did NOT finish. I (as well as you) can add to this list as they come to mind. Worms Sharknado >Really Bad< Swampcreature, all of them

you might want to read the fine print... "Woofers, Horns, Tweeters not included, just displaying how the cabinets look with the divers. Local pickup only."

Awesome….congrats….now quit pacing and looking out of the window

Sheesh, Carl. I think that the Dayton amp I am using for the Cinema F-20 is 150 watts and I can't possibly use it all without risking damage to the house... Dave

Good day my friends...... Excellent topics / conversations today... (tuba project!!) Lunch time here, but too lazy to drive out, so, I had our wonderful office gal run to D&D's for me with my card.... I needed to replenish my personal coffee supply. So, just brewed this up, it is actually pretty good ;0) So was the chocolate croissant ! Oh, I will be shopping for some interconnects for the vintage rig.... Believe it or not, the long runs (12') to the mono blocks are from Home Depot and are dead silent ! May just pick a few shorty pairs for stuff in the rack so it all matches... (0; Yes, those are restored pipe organ parts in the background.... Enjoy the day everyone :0)) .....Gary

That's correct. He may have an 8" driver (I'm not sure) as opposed to the 10" in mine but it's the same sub. Basically, build the sub and put whatever finish on it that you want. I believe the plans call for the driver opening to be within a couple inches of the floor/wall and his is quite a bit more than that. I may not be an audible difference however. Horns need less power than conventional subs. I'm driving a dual 8" driver box with a BASH 300 watt plate amp. It's plenty.

Congrats!

Rudy today I just assembled the Oris 150 horn. sorry I'm not trying to hijack your thread but i thought maybe it's better to post the pictures here to keep everything about Oris horn concentrated I hope you are O.K with that. the driver I used is a Tang Band 1772.

Yamaha is tough to beat in my ear. Great detail with modern music. The best of their stereo receivers is about $500. It is the R-S700. If you want to go separates, Yamaha does offer integrated amps, and you can name a price there. They run between about $350 - $7000. If you want t stream stuff, they also offer a network receiver, the R-N500. Bryant

I enjoyed the pic (but had to pull it ) As an "experiment" perhaps we could have an adult only site. Chad? Chad, you out there??

I would think the boys a wife will like a little break from the cold and ice, just be careful people may now think your from the South ? Might need to learn a few new words so you don't stand out as much ?

Yep sure did, It is a rather largish wallet, one of those 4.5 inch long harley anniversary fold overs with the snaps, The chain removed years ago. (if I still had that damn chain on there I would probably not have lost it

To me, horn subs ( four tapped horns in my case) don't sound like subs at all. It's easy to forget they're even there when the music (or movie) lacks bass content. When bass is present, even at low volume, you feel and hear it. Khorns do the same thing, they just stop at a higher frequency. Contrast that with ported or sealed that, to me, always remind me they're there. To some degree it's a setup issue and matter of personal preference. The gain can be turned up on horn subs to the point they always announce their presence. Likewise, the gain can be turned down on ported or sealed to the point you forget they're there. Unfortunately, in my experience, they then don't remind you they're still there when real musical bass is present, at least not like horn subs. To me, I always hear subs, unless they're horn subs.

Welcome aboard Sean ! MAN, I wish Boxx could be here to see the new faces adding to this foodie forum Thanks again for posting, and GOOD reason to buy a home.......with a fully equipped KITCHEN........aaaaaah ...........Gary

Here's a few deals for you: Denon AVR-X1100W - $249.99 http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/denavrx1100w/denon-avr-x1100w-7.2-4k-receiver-with-wi-fi-bluetooth-airplay/1.html Yamaha RX-A730 - $349.99 http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/yamrxa730bl/yamaha-rx-a730-aventage-7.2-av-receiver-airplay/1.html Onkyo TX-NR626 - $299.99 http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/onktxnr626/onkyo-tx-nr626-7.2-network-a/v-receiver-wifi/bluetooth/1.html Of those the Denon would be my first pick, as it fits your budget and is an awesome receiver. The Yamaha would be my next best pick - best if you can afford it.

It sounds like "HOLY &*^*&^ U*&(@*&&* DID YOU HEAR THAT &*((#&^)$ U*)(^$)&^@ WHEN THE *&(*_(* PLANE HIT THAT %*%#*&^%$ MOUNTAIN!" In a word, I think they sound bigger. That's not because they are. I have a couple dual 18" subs that are way bigger.

So my old subs are all packed up. This is my 1st time hearing the Scala's without the subwoofers. Wow!!! This is going to be a long few days... Without a doubt, lacking on the bottom end! The 1st new R-112 doesn't get here until Friday. The 2nd is scheduled for Monday delivery. At least I will have one of them for some weekend entertainment. Do you think that will be enough? LOL... A huge High Five and many Thanks to "Scrappydue" for pointing me in the right direction on a smokin' hot deal on sub #2. WooHoo, you rock my friend!!! ♪ ♫ ♪

More realistic bass notes, tight clean bass without the distortion of a ported or sealed subwoofer. Better musical experience, more detail.

I find the "Weaselpecker" picture very, very difficult to believe.....interesting, funny, but truly doubtful....

112 or 115?

Doh! You said B movies... whoops! Attack of the killer tomatoes

Hmmmmmm. I'm quite tempted to try that coffin for $375. How sweet is it?

I agree with the receiver dropping when in 5.1 or higher, but if your Fusion is running at a real 65x7,that's a lot more efficient than 75 down to 40. Remember also, your speakers are RF, not Synergy. Different crossover. We have similar speakers, both you and I, as well as the OP and I. If I am mistaken, my info comes from Yamaha, Onkyo, Denon, and Klipsch. And I can say none of my receivers heat up, nor do I have any clipping. To the OP, do you get any small popping, or almost like it goes in and out or "skips"? Or stays at a certain level? It may also do with the C-10 not matching up as well as a C-20 would.

<inhales> This thread has epic potential. Let's see.... Lawnmower Man 2 Dune Super Mario Bros. The Movie Bio Dome Anything StarWars related made after Return of the Jedi Wild Wild West

Well your Sony doesn't specify if that's 90 RMS all channels driven or not...so there's a good chance it's yielding something short of that...considerably even. Klipsch are extremely efficient speakers that can respond well with even a small amount of power being run to them. I'd recommend getting ahold of a more beefy/quality receiver. There's some nice options out there from Denon and Onkyo that might fit your budget and sound much better - even might put the power ratings to shame. Check out Accessories4Less for example to get some nice deals. Good luck.

So in the end, what exactly was wrong with your Cornscala Ds ? Knowing these details could help a great many, was it Design, circuit, componets ?

Let's hope so...

PITCHFORKS! TORCHES!

I guess I am confused. I have owned a pair of K-Horns for about 10 years (early 80's version). I have also had Klipsch jubilee bass bins with either a 510 horn up top and now a K402 horn up top. In my house (tried 3 different rooms) there is no contest. The Jubilee systems clearly out-perform the K-Horn. I loved the sound of K-Horns, but the Jubilees are better. As I recall, you have all the pieces required to set up the Jubilees, What is the difficulty? Reach out and we can help you. -Tom
