Ok sorry people for no comments on anything, been gone since Thursday, had a great time at a forum members down in Lafayette LA.

Spots was put down last year just shy of 20 years old. If there was music playing she would jump right up on the arm of my chair and enjoy the music right along side of me every time. Never had i have a pet actually enjoy music.

Pictures dtel? We want to see what she looks like Don't let Christy see this. Tuckered out this morning. Spent yesterday removing carpet and pad from several rooms at LF's new place. Had to cut it up for pick up by sanitation guys. More to do today. Later met my bud from LA at Captain Bill's.....a bar with 9 volleyball courts. We had a couple of beers and watched college girls play a few matches Concerned about Steve. Have sent him two PMs and no response. Not like him. Well worker bees.....go out there and make us proud. Where is Luther? Miss his photos. Gary..... !

I just heard from big Stew. All is well.

Here are the 15 year old Calico Marigold with her 5 year old indoor playmate Valentine...:

Mornin' all. Hope your Mom's Day was good. Had fun with family and kept the tunes rolling. Gonna try to work in some jammin' time with my guitar bud this afternoon despite his recent (mild) stroke. He's a pretty amazing guy and insists he's ready. Cheers.

Hey there USNRET... Your garage is SO neat compared to mine! Mine is a 2.5 car and there are only a couple of pathways that I can fit through! This is the year to get things cleaned up

Today was garage cleanup day Yea RIGHT. I'll never get my truck in there anyway and I have a path to walk thru so.......but I can't find Schitt. Instead I'll have a touch o'rum.

Good Mother's day afternoon to you all.... Thank you Chuck.......meanwhile, we can make music with the Hammonds .....enjoy the day

We had a chinchilla, Max, that loved live trombone music. Being nocturnal, the only sure-fire way to entice Max from his hiding place during the day was playing our son's trombone. It had to be live; recorded trombone music had no effect. Live saxophone got no response. Eventually, just the sound of opening the case would get Max's attention. FYI, it takes 300 chinchillas to make a coat. Pause . That's because their hands are so tiny. Nancy cringed each of the many times I told that joke, but it always worked.

It's not 5:00 everywhere, but it is here, so time to lock up and hit the drive through.

MKP/Boss here is the first pic of 3 cats of Outlander(billiebobtail) a 2 year old female as of last year. Around 3 now and heavier. Vet gave it rabies shot. Advert for missing cat never responded to. She sports a pink collar now that will come off if needed. An inside/outside cat.:

I'm sure he's building something awesome. Happy Monday all!

The wife has the two car garage but she can't park or drive in / out in any manner where I can park there as well Gives me a place to put the three roll aways, table saw, etc.

You had me at college girls

Christy was with me

or atleast on the klipsch website

Thank you for your response. I read that thread and I do not believe that I have the same issue. My sub is two pronged electrical. I've tried connecting it to several different circuits within the home, including circuits where other subs in the house are working fine. I've got 4 other working subs without any buzzing noises. The problem happens with and without a signal being passed into the sub. The sub's other functions work properly and are totally independent on the noise. The noise happens regardless of any position of any dial and does not change amplitude or sound in any manner regardless if you have a source hooked up or how loud you have the gain. Your amp is in need of repair then.

Unfortunately, this isn't a bad idea. Later on though, I'd slip some education in as to what you want. My experience has been when you see a cut of meat with those lines in it, those lines are typically tough. In a NY strip, as I understand, it means they come from the ends of the loin (or whatever they come from) and are some of the connective tissue holding it to whatever it attaches to. Irrespective of what they do, the I 100% always avoid those lines. You can rub your finger across them (perpendicular) and feel the ridge. I was at a butcher shop once and the butcher smiled, pointing at a NY strip with these lines in them....saying they were a great cut of meat. I said no thank you. (I spent 5 years cooking at a steak house in high school / college)

The deal nearly defeated the Klipsch-mobile: It was a long drive home, glad it didn't rain.

Happy Mother's Day Deliverance style. Miss the days when my mom was still around and we could send flowers. Better Half Unit's family is coming by today for dinner and looking forward to it. Gary ... congrats on your band's success. Have a great day guys.

Klipsch Horns in the house, thanks to a road trip with Mustang Guy. Thanks Craig, I owe you one.

The below is a roll puncher belonging to Wolfgang Heisig, Burgstraße 34 04720 Döbeln, Deutschland beginning it's two week job of punching Nancarrow's Studies 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e and 21 "Canon X" for delivery to the Regional Music Heritage Center in Texarkana. They probably won't make it in time for the Hope Gathering, but shortly thereafter we intend to roll the M&W AMPICO player out to the street and premiere these for the first time in his hometown. I am VERY much looking forward to this! I'll post when we have a date and any members nearby can perhaps join us. Dave

i thought you had a nice tv stand and tv was wall mounted? Been a long time since seeing that little visual of your place. I think that was yours if I remember right. Lol. Who knows. But yes it's adjustable. And looks gorgeous sitting on spikes. I would highly suggest finding a way to get it off the floor. No sense in spending that amount of money and not making the most out of it.

I have installed GFCI outlets in lieu of grounded outlets in old houses with no easy way to ground, like the metal shielding, in order to provide 3 prongs and some protection. GFCI outlets contain decals that must be adhered to every outlet that does not have a common ground in order to meet code. The label says "NO EQUIPMENT GROUND". Lots of people don't know about that. Thanks for bringing it up.

Brine it first. jerol

I have, never owned, my perfernce is for a modified heritage speaker also.

Downgrading ? To my ears it didn't sound like a downgrade dont worry you aren't the only person who has heard them and thought they were nicer sounding. the guy i sold my palladiums to has khorns and he says the horns win hands down in the fullness of the bass. but clarity of midrange and highs went to the palladiums to his ears.

I've never heard the Palladium, so i won't pretend to know how they are. All I know is that after all of the series (Reference, Epic, Legend, KG through the Chorus2, etc) the Heritage Series is still being made and sold. Though they need tweaked, they're still benchmarks. GLWS

Looks like a cheap "country ribs" cut, without the bone. Dry rub and smoke for two hours. Lot's of waste from the fat, but not bad tasting. Get a bunch more if you are going through the trouble of firing up the smoker. Vinegar-based sauce if you are a city slicker and need the extra moisture and haven't learned to enjoy smoked meat without a sauce, which I somehow doubt applies to you.

Correction. The La Scalas are THE best speakers I have ever owned

I assume you haven't gotten it yet. Did it come with a digital copy so you could listen while you wait? I'm about to play it myself..

Come on guys, thats a PORK steak. Season to taste and throw that thing on the grill high heat for about 10 minutes each side. It will be delicious!

Bryston BHA-1 to pair with my HD-800S http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1212/headphone_amplifier_shootout.htm

Carl and Tarheel after their martini mix off.

Well, Ibiza, if it's any consolation WE didn't cover beautiful hardwood floors in every house across America with linoleum. Gee, thanks Boomers for your contributions.

3.1 is fine OP... rears really add spatial qualities and movement, but is NOT a necessity. You need a sub to produce low frequency effects and a center channel will really broaden the front stage and make pin point the action and dialog. 2.1 is also a really great option and if you can add a receiver that has multiple surround settings, that professing will help out spatially and with down mixing. I thought I wouod never go above 3.1 myself, but now that I have a 5.1 system I am very happy I made the change. I personally love 5.1 music also, though selection is a bit skimpy.

I think having a speaker that is also interesting to look at from a design perspective would be very cool... la scala, either the home version or the commercial version would be an extremely nice additional to your facility. They dont really cost an arm and a leg either... 25x40 is about the size of my listening space at home...

Do you think that would be the best thing to do youthman? take all the front speakers off of the Yamaha? wouldn't I need a 5 channel? or would you just leave the front atmos speakers on my towers playing on my Yamaha, but have the rest of the tower playing on the other amp? Though I am not Youthman, a 3-channel amp would work fine. The majority of the load is on the L-C-R so a 3-channel amp "might" be a cheaper alternative to a 5-channel. The Yamaha is plenty potent enough to drive the rest of the channels. Bill

source, pre and power in that order. Ideally you want them all to be equally good. If your pre transfers the source material with no audible distortion and the power amp is able to drive the speakers to the desired levels and is stable with the load and delivers clean power then all you need worry about is your room. Like Ivor at Linn always said the three most important components in an audio system are the source the source and the source,no matter what your source. After the source nothing you can do will make things better your source sets the level of the bar. If you don't get it off the disk (black or silver) what does the rest matter. Jijo - junk in junk out. Choose your amp to satisfy your speaker selection. sorry for the fat fingers.

Both.

hey Richie hopefully United package smashers were more careful with your speakers than they ever were with any of mine. LOL, yeah they were perfect, shrink wrapped together and upright on a pallet. Not a scratch on the box or on the speakers. The sub's coming Monday, same method. Hopefully it will have as easy of a trip. I think that pallet thing helps a lot.

My new setup.

The heresy iii is a no brainer if those are also your mains.

Nice detour, but I can't overemphasize the phase coherent approach and new found micro detail and clarity of multiple entry horns, however and whoever creates them. They simply sound better than anything else I tried.

Many years ago we had in our family a 72' Roadrunner in Violet Purple. Pistol grip 4-Speed 383 Magnum bored .030 over, Holly 750 dbl. pumper, headers, Thrush mufflers, some outrageous cam and pistons, etc...............but no radio.....couldn't hear it anyway. But it was on the list of our local police dept. to "harass this car". Very similar to this one:

Kinda sorta mine, just not official yet, I'm in line to inherit it. 1929 Model A Ford. My grandfather bought it for $50 to transport potatoes. They would dig them up out of the ground and let them sit there, then put the top back on this and let it idle with no driver through the field, while people on both sides would throw potatoes in it. When full they would drive it to a barn where they would coat it with something white, maybe lime, and put them inside which would preserve them through the winter. He later restored it. If you are a movie fan, you can see it in "A League Of Their Own" with Madonna, Tom Hanks, and Geena Davis. When the ugly girl in the gym hits a home run out of the window, it pans to the parking lot and you can see it there. Also when Geena Davis is being driven to the dance, there is a 12 year old boy driving it, and he basically asks Geena to screw him in the back seat. My uncle was crouched down in the rear floor board ready to jump up if this boy lost control of it. He was supposedly in the crowd behind a fence as an extra as well. They paid him and his buddies $500 a day, each, for many days for the rights to use their cars. They were all members of the Evansville Old Tyme Auto Club.

Why doesn't it surprise me that nismo has a Nissan?

Maybe I'm just mean, but I don't think I'd want to open up my new speakers to let someone borrow my crossover lol. Either way you decide to go, I wouldn't expect to hear a major difference. They will sound a little different, but they're still virtually the same speaker. Everyone has different taste. I know if my 7's came back sounding more like 83's I would not be happy. But... some would. That's why I would advise trying to have a listen for yourself if possible. Then again.. If you take apart your 7's and send Dean your crossover. Your system will be down for a couple weeks I would guess. You'll be so happy just to get it up and running again that you'll love em! Me personally, I bet after two weeks I wouldn't be able to tell you if it made a difference or not. Without an instant A/B my mind plays tricks on me.

Simple... You push all the knobs to 11...
