Pre ordered me a pair of forte 3's in cali black walnut today. Pretty excited about them.

^^^^^ you stopped by Here for a dose of sanity?!? You must Really need a break ----

And the tree was happy ... but not really.

Not sure what bhp is. But no I'm getting mine from authorized dealer here on the forum. @MetropolisLakeOutfitters

Luther, this is the wood I was trying to describe to you, I think they called it Rambling Rose, very odd. I was just wondering how they got it to look like this, I doubt many were made with this wood.

Oh how I remember how much fun those were.....sympathy.....

22nd cup of coffee since midnight. 3rd of 4 day Program Management Review with 30 some odd attendees from our customer in DC, Atlanta and FL. I am about power pointed out. Just stopped by for a little sanity and from you guys that tells the tale

Looking at that pic, reminded me about Guinness, I never liked it. To me it has that taste in beer I try to avoid, like plain Budweiser, that bite or whatever it is ?

Hello everyone here in vinyl land..................Music Hall is closed during the week as you all know, so, no music there, but up in the kitchen OR the studio it is digital......................just stopping by to say hello and, more here from the Hall on the weekend, starting Friday night as always , enjoy your stay my friends.... ...........Gary

Yes man thanks for sure. While at it I covet the Albert Lee...

Not a great picture... just an old girl.

The more I look at luther's veneer he picked the more I like it, I was stuck on the grain but I love the color also. That Marblewood has a cool looking grain also. I love pronounced grain patterns, kind of the reason I do not care for cherry, to me it's just bland.

nice !

Since Nashville is dominating game 4, listening to "A New Life", Marshall Tucker Band, and watching the game video.....good combo.

I generally try to incorporate some if not all of the guidelines of speaker placement contained in the link below. If for no other reason than valuable knowledge gained through experimentation. Recently used the info. to place my La Scalas and I am very pleased with the results. Even if your room is small like mine, give it a shot you may be surprised. YMMV. http://www.barrydiamentaudio.com/monitoring.htm

I do like it, but if I had a choice I would rather something with a coarser wider grain and not so tight. This is the Cornwall lll's in Walnut, I just love the change when clear or oil is applied to the raw wood, it comes alive. Edit; For anyone wanting to know how Cornwall lll's are made .......... http://www.cyclonecj.com/dtel/Dtelcorns-small/

Reading the above, it is fairly clear that this is an issue of room acoustics and geometry. Please stop spending your money to change the electronics or components on the K-Horns. Some of us would be in a better position to advise if we had some specifics about what the problems are. If at all possible do you have a friend with a setup to use REW or some of the other acoustic measurement systems. This is not a quick measure and does require some time and effort, however it provides valuable and specific information that would eliminate the guesswork. Without some measurements, you will probably just get a bunch advice about "beeswax capacitors" and the "need for tube equipment" (not that you won't get that advice anyway). Good luck, -Tom

I would think they know already.

I have CP-6's. They're not my favorite. Deep bass is nonexistent and midbass maybe even just low midrange seems to have some kind of enclosure resonance where even Jimmy Buffet sounds funny. I EQ'ed them where they sound acceptable but even then they're just kind of flat and dry, not Klipsch'y. Multiple engineers seem to think I'm an idiot for that assessment but personally I just don't like them and to be honest I don't know of anybody who has actually bought any outside of commercial environments where several are needed. Personally I'd keep those 650's but put them under the porch. Put one on each side of the window or something. They will last longer there anyway and personally I think it would look better, plus you won't be as limited on space.

Is the receiver an avr? If so, that's probably the issue.I hooked up my khorns for grins and chuckles to my denon avr being driven by a Yamaha m40 120 wpc amplifier. The sound was lifeless. I hooked up a vintage stereo receiver, and it was amazing. I love my khorns.

Midrange sounds significantly better than the Heresy.

Nah. I live in a bomb shelter house pretty much. If my cinema gear and 8 subs haven't got me in trouble yet, these new forte aren't going to get me in trouble.

You said hard on....heh......heh.......heh.

I remember that book well.

I betcha' that 'fridge is still running when ones that leave the the production line today have died.

Congrats! Curious to hear what you think of them.

Could it be the horn loading of the LS bass bin provides its own physical damping and using SS amps with high damping values only exaggerate the effect? Whereas the "looser" bass loading of the CW react better with an outside source providing its damping. I've owned a variety of amp configurations along with every Heritage model and I do think your on the right track, Shu. There are noticeable differences in amps/speakers and how they interact. System synergy is certainly key and particularly with these large format horns.

Alot of Oak here also, I have never seen anything made of Mesquite or Mango in person. Our Cornwalls are Walnut and very nice in grain and color. I did built a baby cradle for the first grandkid and a doctor's buggy (not the wheels or axles) for a friend with Mahogany and it was easy to work with. The only odd (to me) wood I used once was Sassafras, it was a small box I was asked by my sister to build, for my mother. The main part is about 2" thick Sassafras with a Mahogany base and inlay but also Oak and Pine. I was asked to use what I had and it was on short notice. I barely had enough wood of any kind to make the box, my friend gave me the Sassafras, it was the only piece he had and it was barely enough when cut. It had to be an specific size on the inside, after cutting it there was nothing left over, it was the exact size needed, sometimes things just work out. I only used it because of the thickness, it made a little better box than what I had on hand. It was to hold ashes and my sister wanted it to be made by me thinking that my mother would like that, it was no fun.

^^ ^^^^^ "nothing gives so much as a tree". I like that OT. Very thought provoking --

Challenge accepted

I like all the hardwoods. Mesquite is a nice grain but really hard on blades. My forte IIs are all oak, but I liked the walnut Quartets I gave my dad. My floors where they are wood are oak. Texas is an oak kind of place. Pecan is beautiful too. Another hardwood with a nice grain is mango. When I see someone cutting one down in their yard, I wish I could get some, but it's always already spoken for, then you see all kinds of expensive table tops and stuff made from it. Nothing gives so much as a tree.

It's just a close, tight pattern, I like the more open look, but I do like the color of Cherry.

The Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart Double LP Epic Records:

This would depend entirely on how loud you set the center channel level control. The circuit in DFH gives the listener total control of the soundstage. For the above-mentioned Queen song, you could simply turn the center level all (or nearly all) the way down to maintain maximum left/right separation. But my experience with similarly-mixed rock and pop recordings back when I had my 3-channel system was that even they sounded better with the center speaker at a decent volume — it clearly focuses anything that's mixed dead-center or nearly dead-center. The point is that it gives you complete control of the stereo soundstage, and you can dial in the amount of center speaker until the soundstage sounds just right no matter what recording you're listening to. You'd be amazed how much better each and every recording will sound. Of course, you must set up your system with the little summing circuit box placed next to the listening position, where you can futz with it while you're listening.

just for you !!! enjoy

$8 bucks was good in the old days. Couple years back i forked over $6bones for Van Halen, Well worth it.

Picked up one of these cheep on woot.com, I've read good things about it

I used to sum a center channel in my car audio days buy using the positive (+) of one channel of the amplifier and the negative (-) of the other connected to an L-Pad and then the speaker it worked great for my a/d/s L200i center speaker between two a/d/s 346is's. Then I got ahold of an Audio Control System 90 Model 11 unit that handled it all with an spatial restorer and built in amplifier.

A light or clear stained cherry reveals the grain. It is more refined than most.

I have to admit, there was a big bowl of pretzel sticks to dip in all of the different flavors they make, to taste each one, I was there for a good while. One of my favorites was sweet and spicy, the two pepper jellies that had were good also. I'm not crazy about the garlic flavor but I knew that already, we tried it awhile back, they also have odd things like flavored lollipops, ice cream and chocolate with Tabasco in it. We plan on going back, I did get a Tabasco thermometer for out in the bar.
