I took the speakers to a meeting of the River City Audio Society yesterday. Everyone LOVED them. It was held in our local audio/video dealer's meeting room. The sales manager came in for a listen and said he needed to get a pair in the store. They are a Klipsch dealer.

Taking snaps with the new camera. My little one after 2 mile run at 100 or so degrees

Pineapple themed Father's Day. Two pineapples, a pineapple slicer, a 6-pack of Odd Side Ales' Pineapple IPA, and other pineapple and non-pineapple goodies for the Day. Hope you do as well if you're a father.

Here is an example you are maybe familiar with of progressive blues/rock, almost at times a fusion liken to jazz. Super Session Bloomfield Kooper Stills Columbia Records:

Hanging with my buds tonight. Listening to Joe Bonamassa. Mountain Climbin on now.

With my granddaughter.

Lol, having to reassess my life lately spinning old vinyl here. Need some more art there Full Range...

Father's Day carnivore.

9 fish in the boat, three released. LF caught 3 Spanish mackerel, 2 Bonita, and a dog fish. Fried them up at a post tournament party. Some pics from last years tourney.

I have the Heresy 1s which are probably 35 years old also. To my ears they still sound great. But according to previous poster it may be time to do some maintenance. I am not handy with disassembly a speaker. Does Klipsch offer a factory refresh program or have a recommended refurbisher? Thanks

You know it's summer when you only have to raise the temp in the smoker by 100 degrees if it's in the sun.

The days keep getting longer . . . . for three days, then I don't want to think about it.

Summer solstice in 3 days.

And it's only June.

I've been telling myself that for years, but it really never happens. Was at the daughter's house today, mixing bags of quickrete for a pad for new AC's, my shirt was soaked and I was in the shade. The bad part is when you stop for a while and your shirt dries off, you quickly start to smell like roadkill.

Carl- That damn "auto-correct" is at again. Didn't you mean it was so hot you "moaned" at about 130?

Regulation or not, if you operate one of these, have some courtesy, respect your neighbors. Not that difficult of a concept to understand. Do unto you....

Dire Straits up now.

Lol, yes could be. Sounds authentic. I need no soldering iron in my hand so, glad it is working out. It is just the elaborate system German technology could excel at... Reminds me of a song, earsplittenloudenboomer.

Years and years ago some friends and I went to the (Iron Horse?) where they had a house drink called a Derailer. It came in a big bucket. We convinced the folks that we wanted a double Derailer. The drink was strong enough to start melting the plastic bucket...you could taste it in the drink! One between three of us, and we were trashed.

Agree, think I know. Just thinking today about how I got into progressive music. Seems Prog Jazz like Miles and Johnny Winter for blues and Beck for Jazz also but, had to get there from rock. Hope makes some sense. Other examples too...

Yes Billy, it is a variable drive pulley system... A cone shaped shaft goes up THROUGH the pulley expanding it and contacting it as you turn a mechanically (linked by a cog belt) knob. It is made of many 'fingers' and I bent one of them, lucky it doesn't create any 'flutter' in the playback, but I figured a new/used one would be nice... But, leave it to the Germans to come up with THAT idea huh ? So, I found one on eBay and it came from the Nederlands..... Fellow that sold to me, his last name is Hoogenboom .....

Its paid off for me many times as well Its how I stumbled into progressive music in the first place back in the early 70s So one can say that it was a positive result that turned into a lifetime of pleasure

And a good evening to you Part of the allure of vinyl records is the cover art Many a time I have purchased an album for the artwork alone

Picked up a pair before the price increases next week. Planning on flipping them.

Just posted this over in RTM. Figured I'd post it here as well.. Hey all. Just got back from the Car d'Alene in Couer d'Alene, ID. They block off the streets in downtown CDA, car's line them on each side, there's an auction, music, some live, food and drinks of all flavors. The wife and I shared a Mai Tai that came in a bucket. Sunny, some clouds, 70 degrees, and your right by the resort and CDA lake, near perfect. Here's some pics that my daughter took; This was my favorite of the day. Was really nicely done. A very nicely done Caddy. My wife's favorite.

Vanilla Fudge Vanilla Fudge Atco Records:

Yes sir I did and thank you. Very excited about getting them and very thankful to be in a position to support the fine folks in Hope.

This one is probably my favorite:

Dark Side of the Moon

On AudioGon - "special" Brinkman flashlight used for setting up high end German turntables - $1200. At this point I think I've seen most everything - sorry not able to paste ad. You really need to read it for yourself

But they can't get a pair that looks like that.

She's a beauty Mike! Good shot with the new camera.

Yes, the RX-V583 is rated at 80W per channel @ 2-channels driven, probably much much less @ 7-channels driven, but still plenty to power a Klipsch center channel. Note your RP-450C is worth more than your Yamaha, so at some point you will want to upgrade. But since you already own it, give the RX-V583 a shot.

Not sure if they have a FACTORY program but you really don't need that. Its not that hard to do. Willjam2 where are you located ? You could just send the crossovers to Bob Crites....do a search.....or get the parts from him.

Here is a shot of the KV4 with the CF4s

Well that's right on the gulf, humidity central.

YOUR granddaughter? She has hair...

30 years ago someone I knew past away from cancer.. he was 24. during the eulogy the great gig in the sky was played on the church organ..

Joe will be on pbs @ 10 pm est..

Some have said that album changed the beat of jazz, maybe 5 beats as may recall. Of course same can be said of the Dual TT you have going on. Wait, then there are the new speakers. Has to be sounding great...cheers!

Good to see you MR. Bob Come join us tonight over in RTM ??

Well? Did you go listen? Pick 'em up???? Was Richie there? Or was the new truck enough excitement for one week?

There's no perfect choice. I consider Led Zeppelin the greatest rock and roll band there ever was. These are among my favorites: Thank You The Rain Song Night Flight Down by the Seaside Ten Years Gone All of My Love

My father in law used to be the president of the Michigan corvette club. It used to be fun with the autocross and drag races. They weren't limited to corvettes so you could enter whatever car into whatever class and still enjoy yourself. I found out though being close to many of the main members that they secretly disliked the owners of other cars. Sort of a snooty bunch, which I would put my in laws into that class as well.

...and that is all enjoyed through a brand new pair of these........Klipsch's flagship RP-280F towers, less then a week old and sounding mighty fine

A next door neighbor of an owner of Klipsch KHorns and Lascalas "knows they work" I like it. And just to clarify when we ask you to post pictures, we mean of the actual parts not something similar you found on the internet. Good luck with your(her) sale.
