Nah, any boob can do it.

https://www.ebth.com/ is where iv been since 5 Am and im going back PDQ. 90s today and a day off is in order, due to lack of interest.

Im teaching a neighbor soldering, she almost has it down........

That's why I suck at soldering. I'm missing some hardware

Guess it's summer already, Crepe Myrtles are starting to bloom. Not a good pic terrible light. The red's seem to be first, the purples are just starting.

and I could hold one end.

Got these this weekend! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So they were "trying to make technical education more popular". Mission accomplished.

Morning thought

But if you did have that hardware we would never hear from you, you would always be busy.

Tried re soldering a loose wire on my autoformer with cold solder. What fun, and no results. Hot iron worked though... Only got burnt twice...

Damndest vice I've ever seen! Reminds me of an old buddy of mine saying - "you can park a bicycle between those". Or - "nice bolt-ons"! Either way, my interest in soldering is -er-ah - growing.

Just keep the top on it and no one will notice

Never thought of that, was it that bad ? Yours got a little better, we could see it was a little girl, a couple of your early pictures looked like abstract art, or I was on something. Could have been both

just tell everyone I took the picture...

I like her technique. I have to use a bench vise to hold the PCB. I wonder if my wife would mind helping me out?

Yea that old P2P stuff.

Factor in engineering costs, testing, prototypes (yes many of us have heard them), built in the USA, handcrafted in Hope, AR. I guess it begs the questions, "Have you attended a Pilgrimage in Hope, AR? Have you met the factory workers and experienced the pride and time that goes into every speaker they produce? Do you appreciate the quality? Do you realize it costs more to produce products made in the USA? Have you considered the time engineers and others spend on products? Have you considered the lifespan of the product?" Many more questions you need to consider when factoring in opinions on cost. There are a few employees that post here, but do not "monitor". They simply don't have the time. Most employees of Klipsch wear "multiple hats" and perform duties that are not associated with their "title". Dig a little deeper and you may find the answers to your questions. Christy

nice. I don't know much about soldering but I'm SURE I can help out

Never saw this auction site before. Woofers and tweeters is involved here so it's NO suprise to me im spending money Been on this site since 5Am If i was in Mich, those Klipsch would be a done deal.

I love circuit boards....who wants to see that messy ol point to point wiring Well Rambo First Blood is about over. Guess its time to shower and go to lunch. Then rest up a bit.

While a choice few are better than others I do not see many that wouldn't be allowed to hold my "rod(s)". In the nuclear context - of course.

Holy crappola, I see a five spot amongst those Washingtons.

That set up will look nice in my house. Right down the street from me!

The UPS man just brought me these

First time I ever bought an amplifier without an audition but I have a very good feeling about this one. The Benchmark Audio AHB2. This is actually a very hot-rod version of an amp I have used a lot, the Quad 405. The AHB2 has a better balance bridge than does the Quad and it has multiple voltage rails to deliver lots of power in a compact package with the lowest distortion there is. Will arrive home to me on Friday this week. I also recently picked up a very fine Mertum non oversampling DAC which is so analog sounding it is astounding. My ability to listen into recordings is amazing with the Metrum and it will get very much better once the Benchmark is installed. Volume control is via a Tortuga light dependent resistor attinuator which is as quiet as it can be with one light actuated variable resistor in the signal path. This is the way to detail resolution and dynamics. Regards moray james.

I have a Polaroid One Step if you're interested No waiting for silly digital photos to dry.

When they sell my KHorns for $677 and LaScalas for $300 I'll be glad I'm dead GO Teaman GO

Yes, that is the linestage you heard hooked up to the speakers in the guest room.

poor lighting. unless I upgrade to another app...... no it wasn't that bad....

When any solder drips off it will not land well, you might have to help.

@edzu1234 Don't know if an employee monitors here and responds except the historical look-up section. I'm a fan of this company's products, so I am biased just a little. Yea they're not inexpensive, but they're not cheapo quality either. Look at the Cornwalls $4400/pair, spec edition $6000/pair. That's almost a 50% markup, Forte IIIs regular to special $3800 to $4600 that's not a very drastic markup. If your comparing cost to something made in Asia by a huge conglomerate (in God-Knows what circumstances) it's not overpriced. I looked into the bigger folded horn speakers and there are some beauties available right now. After seeing the size and knowing I'll have to consolidate my "loot" in a few years I opted for a smaller sized improvement. Have you owned some Klipsch Heritage speakers for decades like so many of us here have? I got my Heresy IIs in `91 for $700 plus 4% tax. I might think they're worth twice that much today, but they aren't. Search my screen name and you'll find a couple pics I took of my Klipsch. Talk to me, they could be yours for way less that F3s! Inflation does suck, so does 9.75% sales tax we have here now. Crafted by hand in Hope, AR won't come cheap, but in a few years you might think they're worth more than what you paid for `em.

I agree DizRotus, I am one of those last second bidders on Ebay too. In the EBTH auctions if you bid in the last five minutes it extends the auction by five more minutes which kind of negates the sniping aspect. Maybe I will just grab the car....lol Tim

They have your toe pics in their file on you---under hostile work environment.

Nice! really pretty veneer on those. and the Star Wars stuff is just icing on the cake

holy cow! no kidding! even with a couple days left in the auction. looks like what do you guys call it - a youthman deal?

You must have really gotten worked up. Big Sly fan eh?

Knock it off! That's enough. Respect the OP enough to cut this BS out.

nice, I like the looks of those.

Done.

This must be Amplifier day! there are a few of us that received new power this very day. I will post mine in a bit

your more than halfway there....and you would have a fat wallet

All tough these would likely out do any Bose, there would be NO compair, with McMs, or the EAW stacks. I was thinking four of these cute lil things might be great in the boat.

Same here, open to kitchen and dining, but my wife loves huge speakers and plenty of them so we're good. She picked out the biggest we have, this helps put up the other general wife , she don't read in this section much, so I'm good, I think.

Excellent, and it also explains my fanaticism towards this brand. Value.
