why are you telling us. you should send this direct to Carl...

I thought he lived in Beverly Hills? Is that the Binford 8800?

Morning gents Monday eh ? Hopefully an Un-eventfull Road Trip, for the Event Travelers. Maybe next year, maybe some year. Retirement means zero Plans/Drama/Bills, simply the direction of the wind at the time of thought. Put a few offers out on the local CL, we shall see who responds and how good i score

I catch a whiff of coffee, as a wisp of steam rises from my morning cup. It's a good start for my day. First off to take my grandson to school, a final house walk through at 9 for my friend's buying a house here and this afternoon, setting up another friend's new digital audio server. The count down has begun. Hope and Bodcaw in my future. Speaking of which, I posted a couple pieces in the Pilgrimage for sale thread.

"Weeeell doggies"

everyone whi!e morning coffee is brewing its time for sit and be fit https://www.sitandbefit.org

Yes he did. Standing on the Balboa side, next to the ferry, looking across the bay, to the right of the ferry landing he was three houses down w/Trimerian. Everyone w/bayfront home has huge windows, i saw him many a time, he and a hell of a lot of bay people knew me better. I just did not know it at the time. Cruise around in a Sub, people want to know WTF?

been there once or twice ... Buddy Ebsen used to have a home on Balboa

In all reality, looking at mine, CeC's looks outstanding. Many years of Newport/Balboa did take it's toll on my feet, not real bad, but im sure no kid anymore.

^^^^^ The Man knows - listen to him --

BINGO Pulled the tweeter horn just now and Red post was loose with the wire hanging. Checked the driver and 7 ohms, so should be good. Seems weird to me, but the wire that was loose has about an inch of blue shrink and is tied in a knot (not tight).

A fridge for the garage

Ok, little road trip 25 miles east Baby cement mixer scored, this will be used to formulate the River Rock mixture to cast the stones. By "Baby" i mean we drop the tailgate and throw it in. Wife off to Dentist checkup. Looks like im going alone Hummm, mixer, PubBreakfast, sound do able......

Rarity doesn't always translate into higher prices. Gary Shinall was authorized by Paul to make a "clones" of Klipsch speakers. In this case, maybe even a predecessor to the Belle. The value of such items are very subjective and will likely take the right collector to fetch the asking price. I would think a later perfected Belle design would fetch a higher price than a similar pair of Klipsch Belles, but who knows. As the previous post shows, this might be a work in progress or may have even started as a 2-way and the tweeter was added later. I think the rarity does make estimating value more difficult with much less statistics to go on. We don't know how this one sounds, it might be worth more as a piece of history than a daily use 2-channel setup. Personally, I would opt for a nice pair of Belles.

I seem to be running on a Genesis related theme in my music listening Today's album is one from Peter Gabriel's early solo career Artist - Peter Gabriel Title - Peter Gabriel [2] 1978 Produced by Robert Fripp This album is probably a sleeping gem, You can see how he is trying to find his style and the basics learnt from this album has moulded his later works Listening to this album at face value is a mistake you need a few spins to get the whole picture

Had a lady friend give me this a couple weeks ago. A good candidate for a restoration l. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

My last Gold Dredge took a year to build, and i built it to "BinFord" standards. Nice Nap, Quite before the storm.

If it Aint a BinFord, it aint Chit.

NAD and Anthem but they are not of the massed produced kind. Bill

I guess I'm lucky, because after Audyssey calibration with a microphone spread of 3 seats (8 mic positions), the sound is better with Audyssey than without in all 5 seats (5 seats across, fairly close together, on a couch in a room 16.75 feet wide). I hear that Audyssey is now recommending a closer mic cluster than it once did. Before I started, I put in a medium amount of absorption and there is a large amount of diffusion. The only thing that seems worse in the farthest apart seats (seats number 1 and 5) is the imagining, and it is not too bad with movies. And, I'd say that even in the extreme seats, the imaging is better with Audyssey than without.

well, thanks to Metropolis, i have a brand new set of KI-396's in my living room. these thing absolutely rock! extremely loud, articulate, and fast when cranked up, but yet smooth and mellow at easy listening levels. i could not have gotten a better fit for what i was looking for. Metallica's "one" pushed at high volumes with my xpa-2 is something you need to experience

Does sittin' with a beer and chips now count as getting fit? I'm in ---!

Those are gorgeous. Too bad I don't have the funds right now. I was in Boise last week. Maybe I could dip into the 401K...... Good luck on the sale.

I probably built those CW's. FACING THE REAR of the cabinets, follow the rear edge of the side panel to your left up almost to the miter joint, and there should be some stamped-in initials. Usually one pair side by side and one single initial either above or below the pair. If there is an "A" in the mix, then I built them.

The Sub days were a tad-bit before the "Binford" days. like 1963/4 thru 70's

Yea I saw your hot rod mishap.....ouch. I agree with moving air but my Dynaco moves plenty of air on my Scalas.....Just ask my neighbors...lol Be care full with that hot rod......it only goes straight ... I think Weld Wheels of Kansas City makes the wheels your looking for.

Well Rick, selling off my cherished La Bella's was a financial decision. The tubes on the other hand, NOT for me... I need something with some juice, lets move some air dammit!!! Good thing I sold the Scala's! Last night had to drop over $1K in Hot Rod parts Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Not going to comment on some things Toe comments are starting to sound pretty good right about now.

Rear view of sub...

Total bummer ! Albums were so cool, they were so big and fun to browse thru at the local record store. We could do it for a couple hours, and they always had cool paraphernalia to gaze at... Good times.

Because ss kicks tubes butt! PLEASE no SS tube debate. Joking!

The big question is..... why the sudden change from tubes and Heritage to solid state and reference????? Inquiring minds want to know. But those amps look sweet not sure of the sound on klipsch Heritage though, since I use to have a yammy receiver till I got the HK 430 on Andys advice. I do really like the clean look of it all though that's a big thumbs up Matt. My son got some RF-7s and they do sound awesome.

After re reading I could see it could be either way, it was about perfect, something like Oldtimer would say, not sure if your insulted or complemented. Me, I think they are ugly, Matthews should sell them off quickly, dirt cheap so he is not associated with them any more, he deserves better, I could help.

Hey Sam66, Where do you live? Changing the caps requires some ability to visualize spatial relationships and very simple soldering. But if you don't have the gear, maybe someone close does. Critesspeakers.com will probably do it, too.

Thanks, but I already ordered the 1060.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, aesthetics is a big concern. The Heresy blend in a bit better, at least in my opinion.

An audiophile is someone who hears a girl singing in the bathroom and instead of putting his eyes to the keyhole, complains about the acoustics and soundstage of the bathroom. LOL. Cool. Srinath.

i hate you a little bit for making me look at the image in the toaster. I thought we were friends...a little warning would be welcomed. oh yeah, if that was the Duder’s reflection, somebody needs to do an intervention ... and quick.

My dad frying a turkey at Thanksgiving. The best way to cook one!

Didn't catch that until you mentioned it. Now I'm sorry I read your post.

I wouldn't be so sure that was "skin."

Comfy new LazyBoy task chair from Costco . Been eyeing them since before Christmas at $299. , price dropped to $149. and I bit .

I got over the "fear of death" thing several years ago - stage III cancer will do that -- I worked my way into acceptance pretty fast. I do have Depression though, which I've had since '97. The anxiety that comes with that is hard to pin down. I sometimes think it's just the stress from feeling like crap all of the time. Work, hobbies, etc., all of this kind of stuff gives a person a sense of purpose, and a sense of belonging. People who lose those tend to off themselves.

Update I have been testing the crossovers - giving them some burn in time, and have found them very agreeable Sound is beautiful at this crossover point @ 500htz for this setup combination Myself and the builder of the crossovers, have given a score of 9 out of 10 I will however tweak the crossover minimally by replacing or adding 1) Pathaudio earthed Resistors to the tweeter section 2) Mills Resistors to the tweeter PCB 3) Duelund standard Resistor 4) Jentzen flat wax Inductor Coils to service the mid and tweeter sections I feel and hope that these tweak additions to the crossovers will take the La Scalas to another level and then I will sit and enjoy the music forever more ( famous last words ) Just taken a short video ( hope it does the system justice )
