That's at 300 %, it would be nice to see it at the normal rate, either way I wouldn't want to be in it

My motto about my jeans I wear a size 34 But a 36 feels so good I go ahead and buy a 38

Oddly enough, I have that exact set up! The 12" Dayton with Heresey's sitting on top. Used the 8 ohm version since I wanted to drive two with one amp. Sound great together. I did port mine though.

Random, but after a large earthquake we had in January the usgs released this video of what a local "high rise" looked liked during the 7.1 quake. They've equipped the building with accelerometers to measure the amount of movement. I think it's remarkable. https://www.adn.com/article/20160405/how-anchorages-atwood-building-shook-during-january-s-71-quake

You must have had a good week.

Sometimes our ideas sound good. Other times, not so much. This was an utter failure. This idea sounds like crap when implemented. You are welcome, the water has been tested and decidedly unfit for human tolerances BACK TO STOCK...

Putting out a feeler to figure interest. Wondering if there is work I can can do for you guys. We have a few fellows here doing xover work, and horn lens work and other speaker /mod/ upgrading services. I think we also have at least one doing perforated metal grill work. I want to ask if there is a need for woodwork, basic speaker cabs, Baltic birch or out of ordinary hardwood, (not yet veneer experienced) and wood cases for Amps, pre's, any thing similar. Speaker bases , stands, possibly component shelving's, etc. Not yet like complex folded horns or Tubas, not yet at least. I am 59 yrs old, and have been a maker/ builder all; my life. Have designed and fabbed entire full console, rails, antenna/ light arch, etc. in a Boston Whaler 17' commercial glass layup bare hull. '76 Jeep CJ5 with my 14 yr old Son,from bare frame on sawhorses, my daily driver for 12 yrs, , 2700 hours in a Bus Conversion RV, two full sets from scratch custom kitchen cabs, one of glued up Ash all shelves and carcasses, custom steel railings for stairs and full loft, ground and clearrcoated finish ,plus many more projects. That's like my Thing. Multimedia - Solid wood, Ply, Steel, some Al, a little Acrylic, and various finishing. Lacquer, Multi coat Varnishes,High gloss wetsanded and buffed "Piano finish" Polyester, etc. Steel welding included. I am very detail oriented and perfectionist. I can't do everything, but please ask what you envision, and I'll be honest if I can do it, or not. I am looking to ask, if I could do very good work, for reasonably under "market rate", would you guys have any for me? I mean on an ongoing part time ballpark basis to net me like $500 - $800/ month. I am not looking to do a full time biz, "Home", but very tooled shop,so I can do truly "under market" pricing. Partial disability and job change has lowered my expectations. I would be happy to do the first few jobs at like no or little profit to prove myself, ----- asking only for full honest feedback on the board. You no like - You no pay. The real deal is - With life changes, I am REALLY wanting to do this. Very important to me. VERY important to me. I need my Life back after real estate bubble bursting stuff. Please comment, Thank you all, Lars

stuffed & sealed Initial reactions are good. Will have to wait until the weekend to get a real "feel" for it. Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

The tops do tend to get a little scratched when you place them upside down on the bare floor.

I love a person who is willing to try something like this. People can argue and postulate and calculate and hypothesize, but when it comes down to it, performing the actual experiment is the only way to find a decisive answer. Great job! IMO, porting can be done without damage if you use the block you made if there is enough room to turn the port before it hits the driver. If you want, go for it...

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Too bad with all the trouble. Now try porting it. Bill

From my understanding, B Stock are when the wood finish doesn't match the exact grain pattern with the paired speaker. To some people, consecutive serial numbers are a big deal. Never bothered me at all to not have consecutive serial numbers.

How much are you getting the 12" for? I have owned the 10" and 12" models. Both are kind of weak in my opinion. You have towers that can put out a lot of bass why not srpings for the 15". It's dogs way lower and has way more output. I maxed the 10" and 12" out no problem in my living room which is 11x17. I mean if your going all out then go all out. Trust me if you don't, not too long from now you'll wish you had

So, I took advantage of the big discounts on Palladiums and ordered a set of P-37’s, along with the center and surrounds in Merlot. I did not order the sub as it is just too big for me and I already had the RT-10D, which is excellent and compact. The Palladiums replace KLF-20s/C7 and KSP-S6 surrounds. They arrived roughly a couple weeks ago. I am driving them with a Denon AVR-X6200W, and I use Audessey room correction. After many years of tinkering, I had my KLF-20’s really, really dialed into my room and they sounded beyond excellent. My expectations for the Palladiums were better looks, slightly better mids/highs, slightly better imaging, and significantly better center integration/matching. I had my doubts about bass, but given I am running a good sub, I was confident I could get the bass dialed in and would be at least as good. In short, my hope was that these would provide the best sound I have ever heard. (No pressure, haha). The first thing to happen was that my RT-10D subwoofer inexplicably died right at the beginning, so it is in the shop, and I am without sub. When I first turned them on (no sub, no Audessey), I immediately noticed that the P’s had potential, mids/highs were smoother and clearer, and I was very surprised by the quality of the bass. But I knew I had some work to do to get the P’s dialed into my room. Now, I have to say again, the previous KLF-20s were really dialed in, so I had a good idea of the sound I was expecting. After two weeks and probably 20 hours of adjusting speaker positions, running Audessey, dozens of times, with multiple Audessey mic patterns, multiple speaker positions, and driving my wife crazy, last night it finally clicked. And Oh. My. God. It was goose-bump-city all evening. Yes, this is the best sound I have ever achieved in my house. Here are my a few tracks that I use to know if I am dialed in: Blue Ray: I use the movie “Battleship”. This movie has tremendous sound effects. When the alien ship breaks up and slams into earth, the explosion effects are supreme. When a piece of the alien ship slams into a glass skyscraper the explosions and smashing glass is incredible. I expect this to improve when I get my sub back, but I am pleasantly surprised how good the P’s perform without the sub. Music: Mark Knopfler – Album: Golden Heart, Track: Golden Heart. This song has some delicate guitar, delicate vocals, along with bass note that has always been a challenge to get sounding perfect in my room. Greg Brown – Album: Down In There, Track: Hillbilly Girl. This song has acoustic guitar, a delicate deep simple drum beat, and vocals that that will sound grating/awful if my midrange is not dialed in. Yarn – Album: Yarn, Track: Listen Up Sweetheart. This song has acoustic bass, steel guitar, mandolin, gentle snare drum and a certain spaciousness that I look for. Many others, but I use the above ones because I am very familiar with them and they tell me when something ain’t right. Overall happy camper here! Pics:

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! These kinds of questions are not allowed.

I hate when the jeans I wore with comfort last week are a little too tight today.

Confession.

I ended up placing a order for a Lio from Vinnie Rossi , I should have it in 3 weeks . The one I ordered is just basically a pre amp with a AVC/Tubestage Module http://vinnierossi.com/lio-technology/ http://vinnierossi.com/ http://vinnierossi.com/store/#!/LIO-System-Expansion-Modules/c/13223079/inview=product50466348&offset=0&sort=normal http://vinnierossi.com/reviews/

It's not an issue with you at all, for the price of admission, even it both the sub outputs were bad (sure that's not possible), it would end up in the shop and there's not problem with straight 2 channel, so it's all good, really.

This is still my favorite and is a classic in every sense: RUF Yellowbird around the 'Ring

Finding out how to do this is eluding me. I have Dave's (wvu80) Sherbourn AVR, and the front infra red sensor isn't working. The remote is fine. There is hope... The back of the AVR has those minijack sized IR Input and IR Output ports. I think to make them work, there would need to be an extender with a terminal block, and then a stereo minijack going from that block into the IR Input port. I know Dave doesn't want to spend the money on education, so I thought I would ask all you. Is this right?: [iR sensor]-----> [terminal block] <-------stereo male to male jack-------> [iR Input on Sherbourn] edit: This http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-IR-Repeater-System-Install/dp/B005P14NU2/ref=sr_1_19?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1459995094&sr=1-19&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A2889592011%2Cp_72%3A1248879011 with a stereo male to male patch cord into the Sherbourn IR Input.

Our "buddy", he doesn't like Klipsch, so I think we are safe. Also, he never gives his phone number and the caller ID is blocked.

Port Port Port........ Go Matt Go....... MKP :-)

Not everyone is in this low watt SET are king camp... I personally think SET overall sound like dung and always have. I love tubes but not SET...especially the low cost versions... I've heard some real heavy hitter SET amps in my day and they do sound very nice until you lean on the volume a little. Yup things can get Loud with low powered amps....but the perceived loudness is from the extremely high distortion they produce when you turn them up IMHO. To me a nicely designed and implemented 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 watt push pull tube amplifier and Klipsch is heaven... I use higher power tubes amps not because I use the maximum available power...I use them because tube amps make there best sound at the lower portion of the available power. When is comes to tube amps the more power you use the more distortion comes with it... a 60 watt tube amps has a much larger window at the low end of its available power that is ultra low distortion... Realize the Low watt SET crowd seem to be the most vocal bunch in this hobby.....the minority speaks kind of thing.

I have read many times that old tapes have to be "baked" to get them to play properly. What's that about? Did you have to do that?

Just be wary of our "buddy" Chuck, in Indy.....

Well, he posted them deceptively as version 1's. That would be enough in my book, since I suspect its the seller's way to try to con someone out of more money.

The port tube can run externally as well if need be.

Id almost flag it just for stupidity. Way high.

I would only be guessing but I would think if you purchased them new, they would more than likely be sequential but again, that's only speculative on my part.

To a lot of people, everything has to be perfect, matching grain, serial #s, etc. It's never mattered to me, but my Heritage gear is all matching LOL GLWS Mark

By the sounds of it you are looking for a cool project, I took the short cut. I found a pair of cool oak end tables that almost match the color of my Heresies and the underside of the tables fit my subs almost perfectly. The Heresies sit on top and the subs have about an inch around their perimeter and sit on a tile floor so that the bass does not resonate into the table. They sound really good. I did the same with my slant Heresies with a pair of subs under some nice black end tables. Pretty much no fuss and inexpensive. Tim

Feel free to shop outside of Klipsch for your subwoofer too. Not like you have to timbre match the sub....and Klipsch is not a great subwoofer manufacturer in my opinion.

I am in your neck of the woods. If you are seeking a minty pair of RF-82 series 2 in trade toward these, I would be interested.

Tim, Extra prayers tonight and tomorrow. Thanks for the update. Bill

Thank you so much for your time and effort.

Beautiful speakers Jay, I can't believe they have not sold.

Today Jim Hunter brought over the first batch of tapes for archiving. All I can say is "Wow. Wow. Wow. First one on was from 1958, Rule Beasley jazz band engineered by PWK at KOSY radio in Texarkana. While all I have to monitor with are the Audioengine A5+, the sound is astonishing. Very quiet, excellent image. The music is awesome jazz! Jim and Klipsch will have to OK the release but I hope we can make this available for download in the not too distant future. First thing is that when Gil said this is like Howard Carter is correct. As was said when asked "What do you see?" when Tut's tomb was entered, "Wonderful things!' is the answer, though heard rather than saw. I also compare to the Dead Sea scrolls in the since that these tapes are incredibly fragile. We first learned by experience what PWK meant by his labels "M Master" and "P Master." The Ms are edited from the 10" session masters. None of those in this batch but hopefully they are there. The M's are the "keeper" takes made via a dub and spliced. Every splice has to be carefully replaced as all the splices have totally lost adhesion. The P tapes are what, in my day, we called "running masters." These are third generation copies of the the M edited masters used to copy for distribution. We just worked with P masters today as the transfers I made were just for test purposes of the system. Even being third generation they are amazing! Incredibly quiet, excellent image, real piano. We will play them at the Hope gathering. Be there or be square! I cannot express the honor I feel to be involved in this. I am grateful for the trust that Klipsch and Jim have placed and intend to perform this work with all the experience I've gained in my entire life experience. So many old tricks came back as I handled these tapes. Back to the future! To paraphrase the LP cartoon recently posted "If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 7.5 inches per second you are going to hear some SERIOUS SHIT!" Dave

I would love to have that kinda open space and peace and quiet. Craig has a green thumb and nice taste.

Both pieces have been carved.

So, Hope, AR is just a jump, a hop and a skip for you! hop, skip, jump, a quick flight and a reasonable paddle... Just look out of curiosity and I can get from Anchorage to Texarkana, AR in just over in a reasonable 15 hours and 14m (5 hrs of layovers) with two stops. Not bad! So what is your excuse???? I DROVE 16 hours one way last year!!! Busted! Looks like you have no excuses Dave!

And yet this is still not even 3 db of "headroom"

Wow my brother!!!! Harbeth, Jospeh Audio, now Spatial!!!!!! I wish I had coin like you!!!!! You want to adopt a 50 year old child?

He's done that before.

here is pic of my setup . Just moved house 2 weeks ago so needs tidying the cables

I have owned many speakers over the years, M&K, Linn (Aktiv), Magnepan, Castle, are a few, but the Palladium P17Bs are by far the most live sounding, accurate, lowest distortion, speakers that I have heard. I could not be happier and I highly recommend them. I don't have the room for Klipsch's larger speakers so not trying to start that debate. I am sure they are fantastic.

I can only hope this will be my year for new P-17's
