Breakfast for dinner. Chiffonade of Romaine topped with mango hot sauce tomato salsa with bacon. Over easy eggs served over hash browns with texas 1015 onions and tomatoes.

Here's a real easy one: Pulled Pork (for sandwiches, tacos, etc.) Ingredients: Fajita Seasoning Seasoned Salt Brown Sugar Yellow Mustard BBQ Sauce Pork Butt Roast Instructions: Make enough rub to coat the roast, using 1/3 fajita seasoning, 1/3 seasoned salt and 1/3 brown sugar - all mixed evenly on a plate or in a bowl. Do not apply to roast yet. Squirt a bunch of yellow mustard onto the roast and coat it using your hand. Using your hand, apply the rub to the roast. The mustard helps it stick. Put the roast in a crock pot on low. Do not add water or anything else. Cook for about 8 - 10 hours (for a 4 - 5 pound roast). Usually, these roasts are sold as roughly 8-pounders. You can cut in half and put it in the freezer for another day. Place cooked roast on a cutting board or other flat surface (a baking sheet, for example). Using 2 forks, start pulling it apart until it looks nice and shredded, like chopped BBQ beef. It should pull apart very easily. No knife required. Add BBQ sauce. Just mix it in to desired taste/consistency by glopping it on and stirring it until it is mixed evenly. This is such an easy recipe. Some people might prefer to make it (or part of it) without adding BBQ sauce. I tried it both ways. Without BBQ sauce, it would make tasty tacos, which you could dress with onion, cilantro, peppers, etc.

I "like" you Amy but don't do facebook.

Just because I love your avatar, yes.

This country actually has a shortage of skilled labor. In my normal job we have been looking for a software engineer for over a year. In my side job I can't find welders who will work for $50 an hour. Last I checked just on one site alone there were over 100,000 engineer jobs available in this country. This is because an entire generation got duped into taking out massive loans for useless "Liberal Arts" degrees instead of going to a trade school and learning actual skills.

We don't know a lot about your friends set up. What did he use for a source? What electronics? H 1's or 2's? Have they ever been recapped? What type room, size and treatments where there? There are a lot of variables that can certainly make those speakers sound underwhelming.

Morning Gang Have the laptop video output hooked up to the 42" LED here in the RV, now i can really see the screen No coffee yet, waiting for Bob to show up at the diner, i just remembered i have some in that togo pot. yeah baby. microwave time.

This sounds like an awesome event!!! I have never had this type of boil. Sent the wife looking for some of the spice you mentioned and pulled out some crab legs from the fridge, if she cant find it I will do my usual of old bay and homemade Cajun/blackening seasoning.... Wish we could get fresh crayfish around here, the Asian markets have them, but they always look lethargic. Fun event it would be worth the trip it sounds like....

Done

Will you be flaunting your ear lobes? (ducking on my way to 'like' the duck) Let me think about it no.

I tried but it wouldn't let me unless I signed up.

Klipschsters are going subwoofer crazy. I am glad I am not one those crazy guys.

Have some Heresy on your birthday. SSH

Hope you have a howlin good day!

& many happy returns...

The sides, top and bottom will be M. Walnut. Lower part of inside will be stained black, Baffle and back will black. Ive had the horns stained same color as baffle. Im hoping for a perfect color match/ bending in. I think Ive decided on the B&C 750tn-16ohm... bigger and more expensive, but should be a good choice.

I doubt you'll see modification of that variety ever to hit the heritage line. It's basically to be left the way PWK left it. As for the horn...I'm pretty sure the heritage line uses better horns, and better driver design than the Reference line. Perhaps it might have been the configuration of your friends setup that has left you feeling more is to be desired...

He won many (car, & bike) races & had to turn down even more due to varies movie roles. His race name was "H-M".

Toe in for sure. The amour of toe in will depend on width between speakers and other factors. Make small adjustments till it sounds the best

We maintained the infrared imaging system and camera systems. We would do a pre-flight check of those systems (sit in back seat and test the cameras) and then we would meet the plane upon landing and rob any film they used during the flight. Occasionally we would go to photo interpretation and look at photos if there was a problem.

We had a bunch of F4s on the Midway, proof you put enough motor under anything, it will fly.

Well, my queen, about the third "like" I've ever given and only because of you. Your wish remains my command. Our wish that you show up at Hope next year should receive your royal consideration. Dave

Hi Amy good to hear from you...more pics...

i have mine on ikea lack tables, but I also have them paired with a very capable sub so I'm not too worried about squeezing every ounce of bass out of them.

Im afraid to ask what kind of rock

I agree. Here's 4 Ficaraudio 18's I put in my sons van.

Done, and lots of invites sent as well....

I've missed you guys!!

congrats!

Myself and a couple buddies wiped out my last bottle of OT's hot sauce.... it was the "Green Thai". We spent a couple days at the lake, and on Saturday I broke out the scotch. Started at around 7am, and by the afternoon we needed some of OT's sauce to add just the right amount of lake ambience. 2 cigars, a bottle of Macallan's fine oak, and a lunch break with a bottle of OT's Green Thai on some sardines and smoked oysters on saltines.....we were living the high life. Shortly after the snack, we polished off the last bit of a good bottle of scotch, and there was no doubt what we were going to do next.

Not dreaming, unless Klipsch isn't interested. I've always thought that "comping" a pair of loudspeakers (on loan to the dealer unless the dealer sells them as demos), for several dealers in key market areas of the country/globe would cost less than the salary+benefits of one marketing position in Indianapolis. I'm sure that commercial/professional products has to bring in their wares to listening competitions at theaters, and this expense is high. Why not "prime the pump" with the better non-tall-and-skinny hi-fi loudspeakers that Klipsch offers to surviving hi-fi establishments (and perhaps new establishments). Until you hear them set up properly, a potential customer cannot even imagine why so many people love the sound. And for the prices that I see at these hi-fi boutiques and for what those boutiques are actually offering, Klipsch could potentially take a significant fraction of the better-informed-customer hi-fi marketplace, and with loudspeakers that don't have to be refreshed/replaced to dealers every year, but rather every ten years or so. Nowadays, I see a lot of hi-fi nostalgia memes in the form of phonographs, records (vinyl ones) and old tube-type amplifiers. If Klipsch cannot compete in that marketplace against those memes for loudspeaker sales, I'd truly be surprised. But they have to take a small chance. It certainly wouldn't cost them that much to try at a pilot location or two or three. The key would be to fully set up the loudspeakers in a good room acoustically with good amplifier(s) and other electronics--but not really expensive electronics. The key is to access the budding audiophiles to turn them into Klipsch fanatics (sort of like organized religion does with young people). Creating a market segment channel isn't the thing that most companies are good at but it's certainly the type of activity that growing companies do exhibit. Actual listening experience is the biggest selling point that Klipsch has--besides the nostalgia of the Klipschorn and other Heritage loudspeakers. Chris

Awesome job,Seadog! Thank you for all of your hard work on this!

I think that if you are going to go to the trouble of installing braces why not install serious braces like those in a Peavey FH1You get far more structural reinforcement of the cabinet walls and of the doghouse walls and the mouth of the cabinet get braced as well. Some might not like the looks but I am in this stuff for the sound. Best regards Moray James.

the lascala are 3/4 inch thick plywood walls - the scala 2 - 1 inch mdf - now if you add braces to the Scala - that pretty much is the same -

jk

Y'all killing me.

I toe my 63's in to where the imaginary lines bisect about a foot behind my ears. Spot on imaging IMO. Bill

Tent Sale JBL boxes with EV HF. Have since added the JBL cinema HF horn, but with the beryllium 2435 driver (the cinema series comes with titanium).

I'm getting somewhere! I made it worse. I put 4 thin strips of tape across the top of the tube parallel to each other spaced fairly evenly apart, each about 3-4mm wide. So, now I know for sure that it's the air turbulence. All I have to do now is figure out how to get it to stop. I might try loosely stuffing a some kind of a thin cloth in from the outside. I'm betting that it's due to the bend in the tube. Edit: Just to learn, I stuffed my cotton cloth in the port that is like a very thin dish rag and while I had some success, I also ended up with less low-end. This is getting interesting, but also disappionting because it seems that I might not be able to do anything about it. In other words, I'm learning that this subwoofer is not capable of producing what I want for low-end! ha At least it's better than my Altec Lansing VS4121 speaker system!

That's a lot of mud bugs.

Belles are harder to come by and usually cost more, because they look so good. I would take the LS II over the LS, but they are way more costly. With any of the three, you would want the sub for HT duty. For the music you listen to, the LS would be economical and sound really, really good. Bruce

Dinner for two....... Remembering our bud Boxx......

If you use solid state equipment, use a brand that has a good rep, like NAD or Luxman (the latter would put you over-budget). There are many people here who use tube amps with Khorns, La Scala IIs, Lascalas, Belles, etc. They can advise you. They report very good results. Do expect to have orchestral climaxes, rip-roaring Jazz, or Blu-ray movies at life-like peak levels? If so, in a truly huge room like yours, you will need more power than the smallest tube amps provide, IMO, even with Khorns. PWK found, in one test, that moving from 2 feet away from a Khorn (on tweeter axis) to "normal listening distance of 16 feet" (three doublings) one needed about 10 times the power. It's good you have speakers as efficient as Khorns in that room. I know you seem to be primarily into 2 channel music at the moment, but a room like yours seems to be crying out to be a combination music listening room and home theater, with something like a LaScala II as a center. I once thought I'd stick with 2 channel, period. Boy was I wrong! I'd be biased in favor of a good AV processor-preamp (not an AVR), and a good power amp of 100 watts or more per channel, all channels operating (which is often not the case with AVR specs). Does streaming from an iPhone/computer provide as good a quality as SACDs or DVD-As (or Blu-ray movies) with a good universal player, like OPPO? Khorns will reveal problems in program material.

Not trying to rain on your parade here...the almarro is a quality built and great sounding 6C33C amplifier but it will require matainance caused by the extreme currents that are running through those tube sockets it's the nature of the beast. The tube pin design on those tubes is the only reason I refuse to offer an amplifier designed around that tube. It's asking for trouble...the rusky engineers really f'ed up on that one...

First of all Welcome. Are you talking about the 2 grills on either side of the bass horn? Or the tophat assembly?

OMG if only closer......
