Morning all BUSY weekend.....Saturday started off a bit wet...but we had 127 cars parked by 9am at my parents Open House. Had people showing up starting at 5am. Overall we estimate they had over 400 people at the show. Sold a TON of product and had a really great time. They took yesterday off and treated us to a local favorite The Metro Diner (Has been on Diners, Drive-In and Dives). After that dad and I sat stunned as we watched the Jaguars beat the Dolphins....had to partake in quite a few beers and a few celebratory Bourbons. Overall GREAT weekend with the family. I'll post a few pics of the setup and crowd soon

My weekend looked like this.

someone should have mentioned to HEART to never let me stand in front of an open mic…perhaps, they already knew and only let me because the audience hadn’t arrived yet. This is about one hour before the show. One for the drummers in the crowd... oh yes…photo of the set list.

Welcome to the forum, AliRashdan. I love having people from all over the world post here, as this is a truly international community. I know when people first start posting they are looking for advice or some information, but if you stick around for a while, I promise you someone else will be coming here for advice, and you will be helpful to them. You are on the leading edge of being able to enjoy the newest Klipsch speakers. What do you prefer to be called? My name is on every post but it is grayed out somewhat so people miss it sometimes, I am Dave. I'm curious, how did you find Klipsch speakers in Cairo? How did you come to know these were the speakers you were looking for?

Thanks man! Will prolly get something else for weekends so I can get out of GF's hair for a bit but yes, put in for my pennies as dad said when he went early retirement due to bad knees from hard physical work. so, I am ear ly to the party!

Hadn't heard of that, sounds good. Well, it's not exactly high end coffee, but I kind of like it, has a strong earthy quality. It's quite inexpensive, comes in a vacuum sealed can or vacuum pouches that look like bricks. I've seen it in just about every grocery store I've been in all over the country, so you should be able to find it if you want to try it.

Good Morning all - went with an English muffin, sausage, egg and tea this morning. Then I'm off to work for another glorious week of working for a living.

Can't offer any advice. Others have or will cover that. Can Welcome you to the Forum. I enjoy seeing international members along with everyone else. Visit often, Post often. john

It looks as most covered the important stuff, especially what Minermark said. So for now I will just welcome you to this wonderful place, once you get those speakers sit back and enjoy.

Good afternoon everyone..... MKP, I love that story about your dinner experience and also about your favorite 'server' as we foodies in the NE call them AND they like to be called... Sounds like a great guy too ! Nice shed there Duder! Ward, sounds like a fun project with your tape transfers... Wished you lived closer to me so we could enjoy a M.A.D. session here, would love to get your take on my hybrid 'vintage' system..... We had our show at the local fair today, fun and relaxing, great crowd, two hours straight through, no intermission.... Came home around 3pm. too tired to unload the gear from the truck, so, I just came in and decided to fire up he audio and listen to some new recordings.... Got Spotify premium on the laptop, HDMI into the DAC then to the new CA pre. Using the iPad as a remote controller for album selection etc... BIG glass of white wine poured into the dtel etched glass, relaxing, getting a nice buzz going listening to this one.... ....Gary

well here they are. still waiting to order tools to build boxes. but i wanted to hook them up and run 20hz through all of them for 5 or 10 minutes to make sure there isn't issues.

Why bother buying products built here in the USA, (thats if you can still find any) when you can buy something made in Communist China for a fraction of the price. Quality stuff is still expensive and even more so if its made here but most just take the cheaper way out unfortunately.

Wonder if she ever checks in? Ah, well, doesn't matter. Happy Birthday to her royal highness the Forum Queen! Hip Hip, Hooray! Hip Hip, Hooray! Hip Hip, Hooray!

Okay, Greg has made some serious progress: Here is the array of speakers that will be in the system, including the Belles I picked up from GZim here on the board: Here is one of the modified La Scala L/R speakers (with vented bass bins); note that a piece of wood is acting as the "riser" for the mid-horn, until Greg has a chance to finish that: And here is a close-up of that mid-horn and tweeter: More to follow!

Did my wife put you up to this? I'll be tiling the shower, or at least start it, this weekend coming up.

It's an espresso grind, so you "could" run it through a machine...however, I use a single cup pour over, or my AeroPress, or most commonly my Chemex pour over. The AeroPress makes a cup that is very close to an espresso shot or two, and I usually combine that with some from my Chemex. Again, I like my coffee quite strong.

Do you brew it like coffee or run it through an espresso machine?

Huhhuh huhhuh, huhhuh...he said BOSE! Huhhuh... Pure joking, Ali. We joke about Bose around here...though there are a few who take the ribbing and stand by their 901s anyway. Takes all kinds... Dave

Hadn't heard of that, sounds good.

Going to be a beautiful day here in N. Indiana, hope to get out later on. Now stuck in my home office....Drinking Cafe Bustelo espresso, wicked stuff....

Good Morning Folks

Evening gang Only up to scope in on some Bay auctons ending. Wife and i saw HEART, somewhere, totaly space when/where....Hummm Last venue was Louis Black, next up is Ron White in Reno. Yard clean up maybe in the morning, maybe.

Welcome to the forum. We have a gathering each year at Hope, Arkansas to celebrate the respect we have of our Klipsch speakers. We'd love to have you join us if you can. Check the Hope Gathering forum for details. And, welcome to the forum. SSH

there are some over on the RTM thread…all pre-show shots on stage though…i didn’t take photos during the show this time…i just wanted to sit and listen. i will post one of me with Ann & Nancy in a day or so…it wasn’t taken with my camera, so i have to wait for it.

Hey--glad your here. look around the joint…we talk about more than just equipment. We talk Music--join in. Steve

Couple of breakfast tacos down and now recording some vinyl to DSD128 files.

I hope it's swell.

Hahahahhahahha you guys crack me up. I wouldn't mind spending it on Klipsch though

Excellent plan!

schu its not that i love it so muc. ill tell you my though process behind it. when i had the dual pb-13 ultras upstairs. that was plenty. then i moved to concrete and slightly bigger room. they were no longer enough. switched to the 4 18's and have been happier and satisfied. but we are in a rental and I'm somehow lucky with room dimensions cause i get a ton of room gain. i have a few buddies with bigger rooms and they all have 6-8 subs to have the same bass i get from 4. so my thought has been for quite some time once i move IF i have a bigger room to keep the same bass i have now id have to have more subs. well them being discontinued only rushed the process. so i placed the order for 4 more as that is all i can fit up front. but then i have been to a few buddies houses that have a single 18 firing right in the back of the main seat and its sweet. much cooler than transducers. so i thought one more for the back but since i have one extra inuke 3000 i figured on per side will be perfect with the liters set on the wattage. then when i move ill have 10 sealed 18's. i hope to be able to build a riser with 4 18's in it to fire into the front row plus shake the riser for the back row. then 4 sealed up front. then on top of that i want two klipsch kpt-684's. ill cut all sealed subs off at 40z. the two cinema subs will take from 40-80. and then the mains will take care of everything else. hope you followed all that lol

So you have never experienced playing Eno's music for airports on vinyl played at the lowest speed your turn table would play. That was how we did it for ultimate relaxation.

Fully agree, jo56. 100.00 class D amp on high efficiency speakers is, IMHO, equal to or superior to any SS amp at any price. Obviously others mileage will vary. That's fine. However, for those of us who don't listen to dollar signs it's a wonderful time! Dave

Morning all.... I'm at the shop doing a brake job for one of my buds.... a cash job....my pocket got light on the way to work this morning.... All the yard sale money went for fire wood......we stopped and ordered three cords of wood... should be at the house tomorrow....I'll have the kids busy this week stacking the wood. Well gotta get back on it....I'll check in later.....wishing all a good week.... Oh yea coffee long done, was really good this moring....weather is cool today and should be for the week. MKP :-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUCKY GIRL .............. How have you been? Rick

Happy Birthday, we miss you and hope you are well.

Monday........................................................................... What's happening gentlemen?

Have fun BigStewMan..... Post more pics....I saw them back in the early 80's ..... and me and the wife saw them a few years back in Baltimore.... great show... MKP :-)

Worked on filling the edges of the bass bin today. Got to try my hand at using bondo to rebuild corners. Eight of them to be exact. Here's my very first hand fabricated corner: Sort of proud of myself. Here's the front. I filled all the chips and sanded everything. Turned out better than I thought possible. I'm picking up the paint tomorrow on my way home from work. Part Express is on the way home. More or less. Mark

3 cups down, burger king breakfast was in order. Now at my son's football game. Weather here has been great. Suppose to be in the 90s next week, we will take advantage of the weather and go camping. Well got to run. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Morning yet again gang Good Nap id say. Messed up though, wife made the coffee, and man-0-man there will be NO napping today, strong! Was going to do the front yard, however it's heating up quick in these parts. Coffee run #2.....

Welcome AliRashdan You have found a Forum of experts, be carefull, be on your guard, they are more than happy to assist you in: Spending your money, design, drinking, cable purchasing, upgrading, drinking <listed twice for a reason> Whatever you do do not ask about COFFEE! < we have a thread for that

I'd much rather see Queen than McCartney.

Well Mr JL, you broke the ice, I have been waiting, I didn't want to post general because everyone was getting all serious in here. I knew it wouldn't last to long But really glad there working the bugs out of this stuff, I will need it sooner or later.

Welcome to the forum, great to see a full Klipsch HT setup assembled from the start. Well done. I might offer up one change for your consideration. If you can swing the difference in cost, an option you might want to consider the RP-280FA Tower with Atmos Speaker (vs the non-Atmos RP-280F Tower). The 280 "FA" is essentially the same as the 280 "F" version, but it already has the integrated ATMOS speaker built into the tower. The Atmos (elevation) speaker with the 280FA has a 6.5" driver... vs a smaller 4" driver with the RP-140SA (add-on module). Jay L (who designed & engineered) both speakers noted that the 280FA has more of a presence that the stand alone RP-140SA. Since you are starting fresh, the RP-280FA will/should have more of an impact up front, vs adding a pair of the RP-140SA later. However, depending on your room size, the RP-140SA could still fit in & work perfectly in your space. I actually have 4 (2 pairs) of the RP-140SA's in my Atmos HT set up & they perform very well. Good stuff. The 135wpc x 9ch Pioneer Elite SC-85 will be great choice to drive a 5.1.4 Atmos HT. Congrats !!

Big Fan of Lou Harrison, Conlon Nancarrow and more recently Steven Reich... this is an incredible performance by Rob Kovacs of Steven Reichs piece called "Phase". it really shouldn't be played by a single person because of it's beautiful complexities... but Kovacs was able to do it.

I attended a 3 day festival/concert in August and I can say I feel the same way. Last year it was Las Vegas for a a few concerts at the MGM Grand, same experience, the year before that was Atlantic City with the same outcome. Every year I say I will never spend a lot of money to go to a concert because my time is usually ruined by the people around me. All of these self-entitled people think that they own the place or something. Don't get me started on people who don't know how to drive on their phones. The ignorance of the general population has seem to boom in the past decade, it's like people are exponentially getting worse. I think it might stem from the capitalistic nature of our society and the lack of ethics; i.e. Screw everyone else as long as I get what I want attitude.

Good afternoon everyone.... Lots going on, land and outbuildings..... ;0) Well, our complete task force is here at Tanglewood for some take down of the pipe organ......... .....It is now a work zone, and these are some pipe trays from the shop on the concert stage, pipe organ service lights are on over the sound reflecting 'clouds' Gone are the musicians, orchestra, management, patrons, snacks and coffee vendors. Wine bar closed up.... But, the wifi is still on and the lawn care takers are still keeping the place up.... Not sure why, the grounds are now closed....... Here is a photo I just took of one of the mowers... Still really beautiful here (0; Enjoy your day everyone....
