Day 1. Hooked up water for upstairs. Created indoor waterfall. Water poured through seams in sheetrock. Turned water off, cut hole in upstairs floor. fixed broken pipe, turned water on, created secondary waterfall. Cut hole in sheetrock, found secondary leak. Copper pipes! Did I say dtel hates plumbing. Partied with regulars last night to celebrate creating waterfalls. As always, dinner was excellent. Rodney cooked center cut smoked porked chops, smothered potatoes, fresh crowder peas from the garden, fried green tomatoes and fried eggplant. Fresh from the garden tomato salad and hot water cornbread.

House cleaning, lawn mowing... SHEESH ....more later when I can.... Enjoy the music....... Got some GENE HARRIS on Pandora now with breakfast... ....Gary

I was listening to the K-horns last night and have decided to pull them off the market. I must of had a case of temporary insanity. After we sell the Michigan house, we will be looking for a house in Florida big enough to accommodate them.

I’m brand new to this forum but I’ve been a follower for some time and I’m trying to understand how should I make a major purchase of speakers, I’ve only heard the Khorns and I would like to get some serious comments and feedback about the idea of using Cornwall’s for mains and a La Scala for a center channel. I don’t know what to expect and I don’t know anyone that has tried this combination out. I have nowhere in Cleveland to check out these speakers, I just fell in love with the Khorns and the Klipsch sound; and I’m flying blind and taking a leap of faith.

It sounds like that building has been allowed to freeze in the past. Good luck with chasing down the bad spots. Hard to beat good friends and eats though.

Forgot to add, nothing better than a swim in the pool under a million stars at 2 am. Being here is similar to the military, hurry up and wait.

Sale Pending as of 6am pst 7/11/15

Morning Gang Just back in from the Reno real estate lookie Loo Trip. Pot is perkin, cannot wait for my first cup w/Duggans. Flew over 300 sq miles in two days, visiting prospects just looking around. Then on ground we were driving and meeting owners/agents, nothing grabs us as of yet. Likely go back uo next week for a few days. Meanwile time to move out some items iv no use for in the new place. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/158163-eastern-acoustic-works-eaw-pair-norcal-2k/

Just one question how can you Piss Of The Neighbors with headphones???

Time for these Bad Boys to find a new home, complete refurb (Tested to spec and rewired, then painted) after purchase just a year ago. They have done their job well, easily pizz off a neighbor. The ONLY reason for selling is i have TWO pair of MCMs for my retirement at our soon to be new ranch. I simply do not need them. aprox age is 1989/93 Currently running them Bi-Ampped 250 Bass, 100 LF/Horn per stack. through Carvin electronic crossover. MC4973X is the top section including the large 2" Horn, has built in Two Way factory crossover (for top Horn) MC4973LF is the lower 15" X 4 Push Pull Bass Bin. Fresh coat of Dead Black paint as when new. Added 800Lb casters (nonlocking)on both Bass cabs (a kid could push these) These weigh in at 500Lb per stack, they split in two, (One on top of the Other) handling with two or more people. These will fit stacked in a standard P/U w/8' Bed. These are factory made without grills, no need because who see's them behind the screen? I paid well over $2K and went to LA to fetch them, $2K OBO. These will remain hooked up and ready to Demo untill sold. These will be listed elsewhere, sale could be pulled at ANY time. Had factory support on every call/email i made to EAW, pretty nice guys to deal with tech support. I could assist w/load/move, just as long as you have bodies on the other end at home. Have truck, PM w/ideas.

Mornin' y'all; still too hot for coffee: 4821.

Have a great day fellas

When you finally think you've heard it all...

Lol, can think of no better way than to fly over prospective properties to get a feel for the area and neighborhoods. Good Hunting! Whoops, looks like you have a prospective buyer for your stacks! Good fortune

Happy Birthday

hey everyone... Keeping in shape Chuck--well done. Ride safely though. ​Rock on Gary-wish i was there. Glad to hear that the intro to Fat Bottom Girls is part of the set. Battling a hefty infection in a tooth that previously had a root canal. i hate going to the dentist. Was talking to a friend that was the Pastor of a church i attended in Michigan--he made a comment (talking about surgery in general) that sometimes the pain gets so bad we toss our fears aside and tell the doc to do whatever it takes…i got to that point yesterday, only the dentist said i need to see a specialist to have this fixed. he did give me antibiotics to start fighting the infection, so hopefully as that begins to clear, the pain will reduce as well. ​I’ll be taking it easy again today--probably stare at the idiot box and try to keep my mind off the pain. Have an enjoyable day folks.

Mornin' Gang, Still early here, downing cup #3. I'm off today on a 3 to 4 hour drive to check out a cherry RSW-15. Sure hope its a nice as the guy claims. Looking for a twin to the one in the family room HT. Wish me good fortune.

Thanks buddy glad you're still "farming". No one seems to have any here or I can't find them. Maybe I'll go to Monday or Wednesday's farmers market.

Hot again....just back from a bike ride. Will be taking it easy the rest of the day. Maybe music tonight at a little spot down town. Welcome back Mark. Good luck Gary. Work hard Christy and dtel. Get that place spiffy for me Cheers Ladies and Gents

A couple on moon photos at early dusk I actually saw that aeroplane first and ran to get the camera, had no time so quickly snapped a photo on auto setting. To see it you need to expand photo #1

Thanks Sancho! Those corners are by far, the most expensive part of my stereo system!

It didn't take me long after buying a pair of LaScalas to sell my RF-83 / RC-64 and purchase a third LaScala. You are correct, they do not have the slam like my RF-83's do but the bass they do produce is smooth and as Scrappy says, no matter what speakers you have (even Khorns), you are going to want a quality sub (or multiple subs). There is no lacking of bass from the Dual RSW-15's.

Three of the same no matter what! I'd personally go with three la scalas if you can afford. Your gonna want a sub either way for theater. So it will make up for the lack of bass the la scalas suffer from. But three Cornwalls will be sweet also. Just gonna get more Midrange from the larger horn on the scalas

I have tree Cornwall's up front myself (I need to take a new picture and change my avatar). I have ALK model Bv.2 crossovers in them. My main music is jazz and gospel and I love using three Cornwall's !!!!!!

What is your music preference, movies or music? Will you set up a 2.0 or 2.1 for music, then have 5.1 for movies? What is your speaker environment (dedicated home theater or living room) and what is your budget for all speakers? How many subs? In general, I would go for La Scala L/R. For a center I would try to find a single LS, the CW would be my second choice for a center. I think the Klipsch Belle is also a good choice for center, but they are harder to find than your other choices. Oh yeah, welcome to the forum.

If I wanted somebody to scream in my ears I'd re-marry. Plus they fall off when you bob your head and are terrible when you are playing air guitar, leap into the air and either get pulled to the ground or snap the wire.

Christy, post some pictures of your efforts if you get the chance. We like to see folks hard at work!

afternoon guys, laying here listening to the hew dac again, Guess I got lucky it appears the Meetrum Octave Mk1 was designed to be good up to 176, however some were able to decode 192 which mine is currently doing Gotta love Jriver set your sample rate anywhere up to 192 , Krouss and Plant sound like they agree Received an email today Jriver coming out with MC21, Offered me a rebate to order early Decisions, Decisions Off to make a cup o joe as soon as trampled rose is over SUPERB song by Krauss TGIF have a great day my friends

hot here...may make it to 98 and already very humid. Ate breakfast with 3 other retirees. mowed the grass and edged and then a cold shower! The BB made it to New Mexico in perfect shape. I packed the first box and had FedEx add a second box. LF to return Monday or Tuesday Cheers Ladies and Gents

Well, dtel is working on his first cup after fighting with the automatic coffee maker! Seems he got so used to his old fashioned drip pot that this automatic coffee maker engaged him in battle for almost an hour! First run completely missed the pot and ran all over the table! Lol

Since it was the 4th yesterday......

Mweiner / Full Range - Thanks so much for the detailed information! I really appreciate the what you have each provided here. I am very interested in building a set of these, and what you have written is very helpful. If I have it right, with the bass boxes, the speaker assembly should be about 50" tall, correct? Of course, that would not include any spikes, etc., to support the assembly. I understand that you each have the LS sitting directly on top of the bass box; besides gravity, have you done anything to firmly affix the LS to the bass box? Full Range - did you do anything like Mweiner to provide additional support inside the bass box? Thanks again for your posts!

Isn't the k400 the horn in the La Scala? The point here would be to upgrade to something more like a 510. Wouldn't this basically be a Jub Scala? Since these are only the base bins you could build a top to house the 510. The K402 would be too big for my room. Of course I really don't know what I'm talking about. I have limited space and have dreamed of building a fully horn loaded system. Probably a horn sub in the future if I went this route. From what I've read here, the 510 and 402 are better than the old 400.

Joesportster, Aw man. *throws down my earbuds in frustration* Honestly, I have nothing against head-Fi. It's become a HUGE market, and I fully understand why so many people are into it. But.... I dunno man. I admit that there are plenty of cans, headphone amps, and combos that I haven't heard.... so I'm not going to close the book on that segment of Hi-Fi. Just the same, I've yet to hear a setup that's been able to strike an emotional chord. Whether it's listening to Senns best headphones on an expensive Woo Audio system or experiencing a humble Grado / iFi combo - I always leave the experience feeling cold. I suppose that's because to me, the musical experience isn't just limited to our ears. It's a visceral experience as well. Music interacts with everything around you. And with headphones, I just feel like I'm listening to a pair of transducers that are only a couple mm's from my ear. The illusion, and more importantly, the emotion of a musical event just isn't there for me. Who knows, maybe one day I'll find my head-fi huckleberry. Until then, I'm gunna continue enjoying my big, bulky loudspeakers.

Top man!

Shot this yesterday at the Windy City Rib Fest in Chicago. Liquid Soul performing...

Never was a Dead fan. If this disqualifies me from forum membership, well then, so be it.....

I love my Emotiva XPA-1L monoblocks! You can run them in class A.
