  1. argued the same thing with my Uncle. He said, “If i wear the seatbelt and get in an accident, it might save my life. Then i’d encounter all kinds of stuff that i’m not really interested in anyway.” He lived to 85 and died of cancer. When he was “death Imminent” at the hospital, nurse came to take some blood. He asked why. She said “doctor’s orders.” He refused and said, “what...is he going to tell me that i’m sick?” He died later that day.

  4. Update: added a bookshelf map. It's much more detailed. Working on updating the floorstanding map. Since so many people are confused at how the Klipsch models compare, I started working on a map. It shows all the models from all the different series roughly arranged on a color-coded chart based on performance and size. This is for floorstanding, consumer models only. I haven't heard all these models, but I have heard a lot of them and lined them up to the best of my knowledge. What do you think? Any adjustments?

  12. I think you can combine the areas things such as cornwall and RF7 into one total offering even though the model generations are slightly different... also, where is the belle? I am not sure I would personally begin the epic and legend series at the orange level... MAYBE the green level... maybe lower. I do like the idea of a heat map... but the colors need to be adjusted so they reflect a smoother transition. Nice work sir... you have way to much time on your hands.

  13. Good morning. While enjoying a cup of freshly ground 8 O'Clock Colombian, the wife is complaining that whole bean coffee seems to cost more per cup than ground. I think she's wrong, but it does seem that DIY grinding is more for freshness than cost. What do you think? What are sources of quality whole bean coffee in bulk? What is the shelf-life of whole bean? What is the best way to store whole bean; to refrigerate or not? We (that's the royal we, it's usually me, the early riser) tend to grind tomorrow's coffee the night before so the sound of the grinder doesn't awaken sleeping beauty. How much do we lose in freshness? If the answer is, "a lot" perhaps a set of noise cancelling headphones would make a good Christmas gift, if I can just get her to sleep in them. You didn't expect a quiz on Thanksgiving morning. Be grateful you're alive and have enough firing synapses.

  17. OK pre cooking is done everything in the refrigerator until baking in the AM, the hard part's over. Turkey, ham, crawfish cornbread, mirliton dressing with sausage, shrimp and ham, baked macaroni/cheese, sweet potato (with a sweet syrup), artichoke casserole (different romano cheese, italian bread crumbs among other things), green bean casserole, Italian salad. My sisters are bringing Broccoli, egg and cheese Quiche, and desserts. And i'm probably forgetting something

  21. I think you made some good adjustments, Matt. It would certainly get a newbie into a 90% safe bet if they had no personal experience with Klipsch and had only your chart to go by. +++ If you think about it you might want to come up with some meaningful Tags for search purposes. I think so much great information is lost on this forum because the search engine is hard to use to pinpoint information. As an example try searching on "Scala" and see if it doesn't return more than 13,000 replies.

  24. Happy Thanksgiving all!!!! I thought you could order the flavored vodka from the website. They didn't offer the Permafrost online though.

  25. Updated it a bit. Lowered Epic and Legend a bit, combined Cornwall 1 and 2, chorus 1 and 2, LaScala and Belle. To be clear, this is just a general map to help the noobies get an idea of where everything sits.

  28. The sixth child has died from the bus crash in Chattanooga, I found out Tuesday that one of the deceased, a nine year old girl, is the God daughter of an acquaintance. This is tough for all. Interesting thing is the driver had no evidence of drugs or alcohol in his system. He was not following his designated route, which put him on a narrower winding road. Bruce

  29. Much longer than ground coffee. It will start to degrade the moment you grind the beans. Overnight shouldn't really be a problem, though. Was up at 5:30 so I could take my wife to work. She is putting in an extra 12 hours today (double time!). I'm home painting in our family/music/tv room. Bruce

  31. Grey Goose usedvto have flavored berries to drop in. The blueberry was amazing. A couple of those and a couple blues and we were good to go. Is the Alaskan available by you WEB?

  32. It's something different, we keep enough other offerings that the flavored vodka doesn't get sampled daily. It's usually special gatherings, like today, that someone new will get introduced to them. The homemade beer is and equally special treat.

  33. We probably would run out, after looking at the pic we would end up running out in the yard acting silly. Nice collection, we need to try that, I told the wife about it and were going to look for it, or see if it can be ordered online.

  38. Hard to follow all that food and well wishes without getting a bit hungry. Love Cajun and Smoked, just about anything. Got back here a couple of hours ago to find all 3 cats fast asleep. As I had a bite off of the list for a couple of Klipsch bookshelves and my newly acquired Rotel multi CD player, wanted to get the party some extra pics of units. Now am in Thanksgiving mode. To all the past well wishers I say thank you. Just had a bite to eat thanks to Jimmy Dean and when I feel the blues coming on, it is likely I have not had my listening level of music I grew up with. Streamed the Animals White Houses album on the RF-3's and am feeling alright. On weekends at much a tender age, would go to the beer getting place called Granny Blank's(editor)) where if you could be seen over the counter, you were legal. Then back to the House of the Rising Sun over the water. The StingRays were the regular band but, others played there like The Fugitives, The Colour Corporation, The Nightcrawlers and others. It is a timeless dose of music that makes me happy. Sorry as well to see the bus and kids killed and hurt. Drove a full size school bus back in my 20's for a private, school in Tallahassee. Getup before daylight and go to a town 20 miles away and pickup all along back roads finally arriving back to the city. Drove for a few months, and long enough to learn for myself the pitfalls that could occur if you did not have it together. It is a demanding job and drivers should be thoroughly vetted. Being a serious driver from the get-go, I wore my Bausch& Lomb Shooter sunglasses, which helped on many occasions. Guess they have stopped making it: https://send.com/product.php?id=143081&gclid=COyR1Yrxv9ACFdcYgQod6hUDRA

  39. I like the chart, especially for those less familiar with the history of Klipsch products. It shows the relative sound quality of each product. I can see where Klipsch experts, those who have owned or heard many or most of these speakers might disagree. For instance most of you would move the Epic speakers downward. I have owned Khorn, La Scala and CF-4 and I put my (modded) CF-4's at the top of the list. No big deal, IMO it is personal preference and greatly influenced by the type of electronics driving them. The CF-1 and CF-2 are not listed. (Edit: Yes they are) Even though the CF-3 and CF-4 enjoy stellar reputations, not so much for the CF-1/2. So you would really have to separate them by color in the chart if one was being completely accurate. The best chart would show a range instead of a fixed point so the relative and overlapping values could be shown. Again, IMO I like the chart as-is because it does NOT get into those nuances.

  44. I have seen seat belts saving lives......and seat belts saved my life..... When I was in the Army I was in a helicoper med-e-vac unit..... was a crewchief on a Huey..... we would fly out to some serious car accidents........most of the time people that were belted in lived, ones that were not.......well they were already gone..... We had someone die on the flight back once... The medic was doing all he could.....blood loss took it's toll.... man it was a mess. It was the worst mission I ever went on..... When I rolled my truck (71 Ford Bronco) almost 30 years ago if I didn't have that lap belt on I probably would not be typing this. My buddy that was with me got thrown out of the truck...he's lucky to be alive. A lady tee boned us one afternoon. Was me, wife and eldest daughter in the back. We were on a 50 mph road and this woman pulled out and tee boned us. At the time of impact we might have been doing 40mph. She wasn't stopping at the stop sign..... I yelled at my wife "SHE'S NOT STOPPING......... BAMM..... even though it was a side impact both front airbags deployed.... Other than a flash knock out we were all ok....the wife got a bunch of glass in her arm.... I think without seat belts it would have been a lot worse.... Seatbelts......Always!! MKP :-)
