Here's an interesting weather related issue from the shore of Lake Ontario:

YES! Now that is what you do in retirement! But it can be any day, any time. My Min is two days a week, THAT is what we survived for.

Evening all... today was a day of doing................................nothing. Just didn't feel like it.... Yup waiting on the snow. latest I heard was 12" to 18" around here...... and so my tractor sits there with no snow blower on it and I'm not putting it on. Might do it tomorrow, we'll see. OK, check in later. The BOSS and i are watching a movie..... later.... MKP :-)

I don't care what happens... I have enough coffee for 10 days!

Good Monday Morning gang Coffee W/Cookies 66 and NO Skeeters Shopping the bay / Nap

Good luck MKP. Our blizzard is gone. A little excitement for us southerners but that's enough for now.

I hope the weather predictors are wrong about some of the snow amounts for the east coast. 24" is too much snow all at once. Be careful out there.

Winter Storm Warning South Central New York Accumulations: Storm totals of 10 to 15 inches by Wednesday, with localized amounts up to 18 inches, especially over the higher elevations ... although somewhat lighter snow ... How to prepare now Stay indoors during the storm. Prolonged exposure to cold can cause hypothermia. 2 hours ago · Sources: National Weather Service, ready.gov

Sounds like you folks north of the Mason Dixon line are in for some weather. Careful out there Bubbas and Bubettes.

Thanks Chuck..... Yea were gonna get it.......as of now we're in the 12"-14" range......but north of us is going to be clobbered Just called my one customer and cancelled for tomorrow.....gonna be a snow day for me and The BOSS, hmmmmmm wonder what we'll get into.....? Might play with my putty MKP :-)

If you want it to sound right, put that TV on the wall on the left and put the couch in front of the pillar facing to the left. Otherwise let your girlfriend design it.

you look like Tony Levin

Oh you're leaving a lot on the table with just that ten. Get with @MetropolisLakeOutfitters He's a dealer in this group and I think he has some r-115's right now. His name is cory. He will see this since I tagged him

John Shalam, the Founder and Chairman of Voxx International Corporation has confirmed he will be attending the Transfer Ceremony on April 27th. Mr. Shalam was instrumental in clearing the way for Klipsch to donate the Klipsch Museum of Audio History to the nonprofit corporation (Klipsch Heritage Museum Association, Inc.) that was created to operate the Museum and preserve the legacy of Paul W. Klipsch and the company he founded. The Board of Trustees of the KHMA is honored to have Mr. Shalam present at the ceremony to accept and receive, in person, their sincere expression of thanks to him for allowing the Museum to become a reality. Travis Co-Chairman, Klipsch Museum Transfer Ceremony Planning Comittee

The listing was taken down Saturday night......and I'm glad... sent two e-mails to the seller Friday and wad tossing and turning all night thinking about that damn thing..... and thinking what I'm going to sell..... I still can't belive it didn't make it to thecarversite...... One day there be a TFM-75 in the cribb......just not that one..... MKP :-)

Yea i'm with you Richie, doesn't really effect me at all. My sleep is all screwed up as it is. MKP :-)

Reading the two comics on DST and then hearing the newshounds explain how to cope with the the hour change I ask - does this Really effect any one here? For me its a non-happening. Other than changing the numerous clocks involved it has Zero effect on my next day. None. Anyone with DST issues that actually has an effect on you? Other than just not liking it or wanting to leave it one way or the other.

Morning all, Just getting ready for the weather, no real work on the book today. So we'll all clear the lot. My lot and the used car guys. Jerry (used car guy) will bring in his tractor with the snow blower on it. Just about out of wood at the house so i'm going to cut a few logs up that are in the woods next to the shop. So should get be by.... A good day to all... MKP :-)

Sectional sofas are usually a challenge. If there is room, I'd move the sofa(s) forward and to the right. Locate the left surround on the wall at the seated distance and the right one on a stand at the same distance.

another reason to drink coffee

Hi there, and welcome to the Coffee Corner So much espresso related stuff was piling up on my site that it seemed best to devote a page to it. There are some /graphics: my design of the King Crimson touring valet, photos of the finished item, and some other machines. I've got some links to interesting coffee related sites I've found, there's a hysterical essay on coffee by Balzac, and if you've got RealAudio, you can play "Espresso & the Bed of Nails," a track from my cd World Diary, which begins with a sample of an espresso machine. Cheers, COFFEE ON THE ROAD: The 'Crim Valet' or 'Café Crim' The "Crim Valet": the original design, and the final product which - in its 'road case' - accompanied the recent King Crimson European Tour as "Café Crim". Excerpts from "Espresso Coffee - Professional Techniques" by David C. Schomer "When adjusting your grind, think of yourself as a musician tuning your violin as its delicately balanced wood frame changes ever so slightly in response to increases and decreases in temperature and humidity." "There is a golden rate of water flow, corresponding to about a 25 second extraction for a total shot, single or double, that maximizes flavor release and minimizes the amount of nasty acids and excessive caffeine that get into the final cup." "Remember, coffee flavors are very volatile and more than a little cranky. Pre-grinding the coffee, even for a few moments, exposes the coffee oils to the air, which immediately, through the process of oxidation, begins to destroy flavor compounds." "There is wide agreement that the pump for espresso making should be set between 8.2 and 9 atmospheres of pressure." "Temperature control is the reason that the porta-filter is always kept in the head of the machine. These critical brewing baskets should never rest on the counter during business hours. If you see the group handles lying on the counter in an espresso shop, forget it. Go somewhere else for an espresso." THE COFFEE STATION This is the "Coffee Station" device, built by my friend Ed Doyle ESPRESSO & THE BED OF NAILS Here is "Espresso & the Bed of Nails", a track from WORLD DIARY, featuring the percussion group Nexus. It begins with a sample of my trusty (well, not too trusty) Gaggia, which was a major presence in the studio during the mix. (RealAudio 28.8 stream) This selection requires the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape with the NEW RealAudio plug-in. We urge you to download it (Version 5+) now from Real Audio. COFFEE CONNECTIONS My trusty road machine is an Estro Profi, which has held up very well to constant travel. (I also have an identical Italian version, for some reason called 'Saeco' Rio Profi.) Coffee is a great power in my life; I have observed its effects on an epic scale. Coffee roasts your insides. Many people claim coffee inspires them, but, as everybody knows, coffee only makes boring people even more boring. ...as Brillat-Savarin has correctly observed, coffee sets the blood in motion and stimulates the muscles; it accelerates the digestive processes, chases away sleep, and gives us the capacity to engage a little longer in the exercise of our intellects. ...Coffee changes over time. Rossini has personally experienced some of these effects as, of course, have I. "Coffee," Rossini told me, "is an affair of fifteen or twenty days; just the right amount of time, fortunately, to write an opera." This is true. But the length of time during which one can enjoy the benefits of coffee can be extended. For a while - for a week or two at most - you can obtain the right amount of stimulation with one, then two cups of coffee brewed from beans that have been crushed with gradually increasing force and infused with hot water. For another week, by decreasing the amount of water used, by pulverizing the coffee even more finely, and by infusing the grounds with cold water, you can continue to obtain the same cerebral power. When you have produced the finest grind with the least water possible, you double the dose by drinking two cups at a time; particularly vigorous constitutions can tolerate three cups. In this manner one can continue working for several more days. Finally, I have discovered a horrible, rather brutal method that I recommend only to men of excessive vigor, men with thick black hair and skin covered with liver spots, men with big square hands and legs shaped like bowling pins. It is a question of using finely pulverized, dense coffee, cold and anhydrous, consumed on an empty stomach. ...this coffee falls into your stomach ... it brutalizes these beautiful stomach linings as a wagon master abuses ponies; the plexus becomes inflamed; sparks shoot all the way up to the brain. From that moment on, everything becomes agitated. Ideas quick-march into motion like battalions of a grand army to its legendary fighting ground, and the battle rages. Memories charge in, bright flags on high; the cavalry of metaphor deploys with a magnificent gallop; the artillery of logic rushes up with clattering wagons and cartridges; on imagination's orders, sharpshooters sight and fire; forms and shapes and characters rear up; the paper is spread with ink - for the nightly labor begins and ends with torrents of this black water, as a battle opens and concludes with black powder. ...When you have reached the point of consuming this kind of coffee, then become exhausted and decide that you really must have more,... you will fall into horrible sweats, suffer feebleness of the nerves, and undergo episodes of severe drowsiness. I don't know what would happen if you kept at it then: a sensible nature counseled me to stop at this point, seeing that immediate death was not otherwise my fate. To be restored, one must begin with recipes made with milk and chicken and other white meats: finally the tension on the harp strings eases, and one returns to the relaxed, meandering, simple-minded, and cryptogamous life of the retired bourgeoisie. The state coffee puts one in when it is drunk on an empty stomach under these magisterial conditions produces a kind of animation that looks like anger: one's voice rises, one's gestures suggest unhealthy impatience: one wants everything to proceed with the speed of ideas; one becomes brusque, ill-tempered about nothing... One assumes that everyone is equally lucid. A man of spirit must therefore avoid going out in public. I discovered this singular state ... some friends, with whom I had gone out to the country, witnessed me arguing about everything, haranguing with monumental bad faith. ... We found the problem soon enough: coffee wanted its victim.

Evening Gang Im on other Forums, Aviation, Rv, Engineering related. One of my newer Forums has an insane photo posting procedure, so i just refer the members to my Flickr Acct. Long story short, cleaning up my Crap, i came across This!......thought id lost everything in my last crash, the "Cloud" is Great

Because of the symmetry of the symptoms, it looks to me like there must be a systematic connection mistake on both channels... My theory - two wrongs make a right... you corrected one wrong, so what was right (two wrongs) is now wrong (one wrong and one right). I'm thinking the previous owner reversed a connection (probably on both the crossovers) and also reversed the corresponding connections (on the intermediary panels) either by accident or as a latter correction... the result was that the pair of reversals were incidental. At some point in your disconnecting (not checking for anything wrong) and reconnecting (connecting as expected to be right) you ended up correcting one from each pair of these wrong connections, so now each pairs' remaining wrong connection is no longer being corrected and showing itself. The insidious part is that your dilgence with making proper connections is probably the cause of the problem. The stock crossovers have wires from itself to an intermediary panel connection that has the provision for straps to distinguish a single full channel connection vs a dual split HF and LF connection... and then from there to the amp(s). I know it seems remedial, but all of these connections should be verified as correct. In all this is 20 connections for each channel. - the speaker connections on the crossovers (6) - the connections on the crossovers from the intermediary panels (4) - the crossover side connections on the intermediary panels (4) - the straps configuration (4) - the amp(s) side connections to the intermediary panels (2)

I believe the "Forum" is telling you you have looked into the future. Or would it be the past? Now I'm confused, are you a futurist or an historian. Either/or indeed you are hilariously funny as you have made note.

Smashed, or not?

I got 'em!!! ... And yes it is a Ferrari along with a Turbo Porsche...

Well, that ruined a perfectly good fetish. At least, my French maid fantasy is still intact.

@32blownhemi,Great score, you are going to love them. I would recommend experimenting a bit with raising the top hat approximately the height of a milk crate, or, if you can score a wood case box from a case of French Bordeaux from your local wine shop, that would look cool, and a bit more classy than a milk crate, lol.... Helps to raise the tweeters and mids, and IMHO really improves the soundstage and overall "character" of the speakers....At some point you should take a look at the crossovers (located in the top hat), and decide if you want to update them. Have fun, they are great speakers, regardless of the WAF.....

My wife and I watched a Canadian series called Flashpoint (2008-2012). It was excellent from the first episode. They actually finished the series instead of just stopping it. We got it on netflix, don't know if it's available on amazon

Last year the Spartans, as a 2 seed, losing to Middle Tennessee State, a 15 seed, destroyed 99.9% of brackets. Only the most diehard Blue Raiders fans (or idiots) would have predicted that upset in the first round. I don't see a similar upset this year. The 2 vs.15 matchups are: Duke vs. Troy; Arizona vs. North Dakota; Louisville vs. Jacksonville State; and Kentucky vs. Northern Kentucky. Pick against the 2 seeds at your peril.

Not for nothing the speakers still sound great

Less filling. I've tried a bunch of different bourbons since Christmas and they were, to some degree, similar in many respects. Weller 12 and all the wheated bourbons are just flat out better. Much smoother and more aromatic. You could certainly pick them out in a blind taste test. Of course with anything subjective YMMV.

I bought this speaker (the book matched pair) through eBay in April 2010. Since then someone has shown pictures (of the pair of K-horns in front of a rental storage unit with orange roll up doors) copied from that original eBay ad to run some bogus ads, saying to email the seller for Buy It Now payment information. I reported it to eBay and had the ad deleted, hopefully before anyone gave out their credit card info. If I were ever to sell these Klipschorns, I would post on the Klipsch forum Garage Sale, not on eBay, so if anyone spots that bogus ad again, please report it to eBay. Thanks

I was wondering just why to avoid the open box deals? I am going to upgrade my sub soon and have looked at going with 2 instead of just 1 and thought maybe the open box would be a good way to save a few bucks. Anyway I would appreciate your insight, right now I have 1 R-110SW and it sounds great but after reading a lot of different opinions on subs I get the feeling that I'm missing out on deeper sound that my little 10" sub just can't reproduce.

Thanks! Seems like Dynaco is a tube icon.. I will look into them more... Do you think 35 watts per channel is enough for the Khorns? I noticed there is a dedicated tube section so will be posting there as well.

I couldn't wait any longer for you Steve. I busted open one of the bottles of Weller 12.

Chuck did you go out and get from your maple tree..

In my room I much prefer vertical horns to horizontal by a wide margin and yes aligning the mid with the woofer is a big deal and so is the tweeter to the mid. See for yourself it is the only way to know for yourself. Have fun, glad your kids are loving it too. moray james.

And you were going to use it to power your torch? Mark

I'm on line of either of ..If call slightly south of me 5 to 8 , if not 12 to 24

This is an interesting post as it puts faces to forum names. I think I am one of the younger ones here as this first photo was 10 years ago when we won the high school state championship in pennsylvania (far left in the picture) The next year the college I attended won the D3 national championship. Also, during this time I started to acquire klipsch speakers nothing to fancy just an rc 52 to go with yamaha bookshelf speakers Now I am in the Air force nothing exciting like HDR's paratrooping but I have acquired a great deal of klipsch speakers during this time. I've met a few members from here including colterphoto, indyhawg, woofers and tweeters and I hope to meet more in the future

In my opinion, the main thing to look at (to decide if you want to buy them or not) is the condition of the cabinets. If they are trashed.... I have no interest. I don't mind as much if they have a blown woofer as that can be easily fixed and, that is part of the price conversation, once I know I want the cabinets.

I guess the only rebuttal to what you say by me is that 99.9% of "NEW" Klipsch buyers have absolutely no idea what a "Heritage" model Klipsch even is, they have only seen or listened to Best Buy Klipsch. Therefore, the only people that the company can capitalize on even using that name is long term fans like us. Therefore if we see a problem with it, I should think other long time Klipsch owners who have never even looked at this forum would probably feel similar if they are into their speakers enough to even know what the Heritage line is. Becides your post, I want to address others here as well, I am 100% for doing anything that helps the employees of Hope out, but if you call these speakers Heritage because they were built in Hope, then all RF-7s and RF-7IIs are automatically Heritage also! It has always been in honorance to Paul for me, and regaurdless of what Audiovox descides, I will preach the truth of PWK to ANYONE dumb enough to lend me their ear! Roger
