I bought these LSI's about a year ago. They need just about everything, woofers, wiring, fuse holders, and major cosmetic restoration. I decided to get them to play music first and replaced everything that was either broke or needed replaced. Bought K-33 woofers off that auction site and the rest from Parts Express. Put them back together over the past week. Turned them on this morning. My oh my they sound much better than I ever thought they could. My wife, who upon first seeing them said never bring them in the house, told me those ugly things sound really nice. So it looks like the upper and lowers are going to get refurbished. Here's what they look like now: I'll post more pics as I break them down and begin to work on the cabs. Mark

duder is that really you? It's funny when a real pic is put up, I just connect eveyone with there avatar.......well everyone but you Mark....lol lolWell duder that's more hair I have ever grown in my life......I'm 51+ and shave once a week.......but I am getting these crazy hairs that are growing out of my ears now... lol lol Now this is scary, iv Mr Duder, he looks better than this......That pic was a while back, plus i am constantly changing my look.

Hey duder, if you post pictures like that, maybe you had one too many beers?

Evening gang 90+ and still Smokey Cool house and Napping will spoil you, im tellin ya Wife making a HaggenDaz Run. Must look at movie slection, do not think i last a hour in-da-cave.

Thinking about this as it relates to the internet, Back when I grew up and there was no internet you were as good as your word. Break your word and you can bet you were called on it (the max effective range of an excuse was ZERO meters) I carry that philosophy over to my dealing on the net, and I tend to hold people that I deal with to that same standard. Fail to do what you say and I question your integrity (but I am reasonable stuff does happen), Fail 2 or 3 times and my trust is basically lost, Fail to do what you say and become a ghost (IE... fail to contact and at least offer a reason for failing to do what you said, and ignore my contact and request for information) Now we have an Issue I understand people have lives, and that things can come up, I follow the rule I wont say I will do it if I am not SURE I can, further if an emergency happens I will make an effort to notify / contact whom ever I am dealing with in a timely manner (timely means hours not days) How do you hold people responsible for a standard of conduct on the internet ?? I love it when people tell me I am straight forward and they Like dealing with folks this way, then that same individual pulls a ghost act for more than 3 days, (some may consider 3 days petty in the grand scheme But I would bet that same persons Boss would not consider it petty) and they have the nerve to be offended when called on it It is like a double standard today Hold ones self accountable for work etc...but shine on anyone you feel like you can get over on I am already on the boys about Honesty, It is a pet peeve of mine if you lie the punishment is much worse than just telling the truth

Finishing the last of the EW 1783 Single Batch. 4 fingers worth so this will be it for the night. A picture perfect sunny fall day here.

Thanks guys. This forum is an absolute inspiration. I've never heard La Scala's before today. I've got a pair of Forte II's and think they sound pretty good. However, the LSI's are something different. I'm looking forward to some sanding, filling, more sanding and painting. Mark

I just mentioned something about that in another post. When ever i take pictures with my phone they post rotated. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Good for you for saving some nice speakers.

Well hell i might as well post here since everyone else is. My combo for afternoon Libations, Costco 6bucks. The better the Beer, the Better the cookies taste. France does do some things right, Grey Goose, Cookies, Girls........

You are doing just fine, been there, done this more than once. You and the wife have good taste. Welcome to the world of being spoiled on good listening.

Afternoon gang Omited the swapmeet for a great Mexican breakfast, quick Depot stop and then, just in from the local Pub, watcin games and cranking tunes on the menu

Well that information may be a game changer. I've wanted a pair for decades.

Morning Gang First up, so grinding the Bean is on me, pot is-a-perkin. Swapmeer excerise Vs Corndog is the plan. 86, smoke, 50% Hmd is where we are going for the day, 74 outside and poss rain here and there. Pretty dam strang weather, 80s iv been waiting for, time for more MCM work. Just walked to the house, we got raindrops! Will not be enough for the fires no doubt, but raindrops enhance an expedite swapmeet deal!

Have you considered Heresy III's using smaller subs as risers? Now that is a super suggestion, so simple yet I never thought of doing that. Bravo!

It doesn't work that way. You learn to play decently first, without popping pills, usually at a young age before pills or other are available. Or at least used to be. Once you get to a certain level, your brain and muscle memory takes over and you can still play decently despite popping pills (or other). Next in the progression if you let it get that far is that the pills (other) get out of hand and your playing then suffers. Then you either get over it and return or it's all downhill from there. But no one, I mean no one puts ketchup on a hot dog---wait I mean no one ever played decently from popping pills (other) without first being able to play decently beforehand.

At some Point Ya just got to Trust. Does not mean you'll never get burned. I've had excellent Results in dealing with Forum members. So far everyone's word has been Good. We all start out with no reputation. Over time others will form their own opinions of us. Post count matters some. Man's recommendation of another man is more important. Still have to listen to that feeling in the gut though. Drive hundreds of miles to meet up with someone you just met online. Or invite someone You don't know into your home to listen. These are just a couple things that make this place feel like a home. john

If you want veneer and be ready for the future how about the RP-280FA? It is fairly large, and has Atmos speakers built in. It has a matching veneer center if you so choose. Just throwing it out there. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

Afternoon Gang 90+ today, better, but still the heat slows my day down, need 80s. Soo, Back for movies and Napping. Smoke is covering or area, first time with all the fires we have been having. Still alot to burn out there, we are not finished by a stretch, whole bunch of dry areas that are steep mountain/valleys. Iv prospected all over in years past, there is major hiking involved and steep? yeah, like with ropes. Mountain lions/bobcats/snakes, prospecting is fun. Always went during the rainy season, less critters that way, and NO fires.

I don't believe in ghosts. Basically do what you say you will and have the cash in hand if the situation calls for it, but don't be duped either. If you agree to something, backing out due to a higher priority should be due to extreme issues, not cause your tired or a just a big fat lair.

She must be pretty good at tennis as much as she plays. I played back in HS, it was ton of exercise, mostly chasing down the balls with all the terrible shots.

Just build 4x4 foot false corners and make them pretty. PWK put out the plans in the Dope from Hope, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that he had TWO false corners in his living room at home when I was there to hear his recordings. This will allow you to place them wherever you like.

Will have to remember that one, thanks, I know you wouldn't. It's really s m o o o o t h. Going out of town again next Friday will be stopping at this little store in North Louisiana that carries a lot of brands, I am sure they will have it. Thanks, Christy started this by wanting Tequila Sunrises, the problem was the orange juice upset her stomach so we ended up just drinking shots which surprisingly didn't cause that. (sounds like to me)........ This is what led to trying different brands as shots. Thanks

Brewed locally. A nice little nut brown ale, season around here is getting just right for a little heavier beers. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

I'm thinking of making them look as close to original as I can. They will my my dream garage speakers for the foreseeable future. Mark Mark, How brave and ambitious are you?? There are plenty of pages on this forum with tutorial on doing your own veneering on these. I mean, they can't really get worse and you just might end up with something the Wife wants inside the house !! Roger

Hey folks... just checking in since I've been off for a day or two. Hope your weekend has been good. Laid back here. Met a group of friends for dinner last night and then proceeded to cheat on diet big time at Stone Cold. Duder ... are those pics by Glamour Shots?? Later guys. Gotta get ready to cook.

Here we go with Innagodavida, cutting into the Drum solo @ 90Spl, Neighbors will listen to one final cut.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

1 Oil pressure gauge now hooked up and seems to be working in the 85 mercury, that thing is telling me 40psi at full operating temp I was thinking 20 would be nice will give it a couple days and see if it changes, if not I am thinking I have a high pressure oil pump in the old girl............which could be a good thing Maybe they came stock with a high pressure pump ?? it is the same motor they used in the Mustang GT Good Early Sunday Folks

oldtimer got it right. Joe Walsh, for example, learned to play several instruments when he was young, including the oboe and clarinet. He moved on to the guitar, and later to vodka. Lots of vodka. When I saw him play twice in 2012, Joe mentioned that he'd only been drunk once, but it lasted 38 years. While he was touring in New Zealand in 1989, he started to straighten out, and after blacking out on a flight to Paris in 1994, he has been sober ever since. This was a problem at first, because he'd long ago forgotten how to play sober. After quite a bit of practice, and with encouragement from his wife, Marjorie Bach, he recorded his first "sober" record, Analog Man, in 2012. Joe's song One Day at a Time is about his drinking and how he got over it. Joe Walsh - One Day At A Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlfCyHbLdpI Now he seems to have finally found happiness. Joe Walsh - Family: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCqWMk8jXeY His looks seem to be improving, since he looks to be losing the growing boozer nose he used to have.

Got the car loaded up with a few pieces of gear for the record show today and tomorrow. I belong to the River City Audio Society and we have a booth at the show. We will be playing some tunes and giving away a new record player. So basically a bunch of people geeking out on vinyl and telling tall tales.

Well I got a set of palladiums that will best them both buuuut if you have the space I'd rather have the cornwalls myself. Love the punchy bass from the 15" pro woofers. Plus requires less power. Plus you also get the walnut option which would be the only option for me. If your wanting a home theater out of the deal spending 3-4k on a new set of cornwalls I would highly suggest thinking over my palladiums. Show them to your wife. My wife loves the finish on the but wasn't too sure on the shapes of them. Now she thinks they are the most beautiful speakers she has ever seen. Plus they sound as good as they look in my opinion. 6k and I can ship. We can work out shipping details. Pm me if your interested.

Time kill another bottle of wine To help paralyze that little Tick tick tick tick

3 minutes my @$$. There's an unopened 1.75L bottle of Crown Royal in the pantry. Considering the week I've had I can see myself beating up on that bottle real hard tonight.

Friday getting off time!!!

Morning gang Getting dam spoiled having breakfast made to order everyday. Coffee is-a-flowin. 91 today and dam dry here in Snake country. Opened the hanger up and cranked up the fans, only a few Wasps spotted. Just may need to move the RV, the whole area smells of insecticide, woke up smelling it. On with the day.

I just did the same yesterday myself. Better get-em wile they are available, reasonable too!

I was watching a show the other day, the old props can be worth a lot, they are really cool looking. Im up to 11 right now, all wood. couple broken ones, i see tips from some still under more junk. Food here, need to eat and get back to work.....

Morning Gang wherever you are WiFi here at Denney's sucks, but right now iv got it and am not moving the laptop! Thad is a Moderator, shoot me NOW! Hanger #1 is coming along just fine, and im making cash from all the PakRats in the area. Some goodies go on the first simi double trailer, then if idont want it, the guys come and bird dog the item and argue price offering(s). cool. So far two snakes (Live) and pizzed! Hanger #2, air worthy crew has been working six days straight, we start the engine for the second time today and really work it. The guy next door to me loaned me his monster forklift for as long as my move takes. The plan is to anchor the rear wheel (tiedown) to the forklift and bring up the prop speed, (that should clear the dust out!) On with the day, cheers :emotion-44:
