Best Buy has announced they will stop selling CD's this June. Sales peaked in 2001. End of an era. I knew it was just a.fad and would never take.

Thanks Neil!

Well I see the Eagles won. The DOW futures are down 340 this morning. Working on the first cup.

Maybe it will fall out of the plane and land in my back yard, landing softly in the recent deposit of 8" of snow.

That's not their kneecaps.....

Go big or go home.

and some you just can't tell.

Correct, the lower larger cabinet that contains the complicated folded bass Horn that require a square corner to make the last fold of the horn.

"Deepbass_smallsize"...see: Of the websites that you could've chosen to challenge Hofman's Iron Law, this is perhaps one that is least likely to provide a great deal of support for "small size and deep bass". If you release your constraint of "small size", then you will find support here for your comments quoted above. Chris

I caught that...but there's no bass bin..

I wouldn't say it is about denial. I'd rather have the super clean fast undistorted bass of a Belle or a La Scala then have that bloated distorted single note bass of other speakers. It takes some getting used to and subwoofers are not easily matched to horns.

having some Seattle 's best coffee.. 6th ave bistro....it's fffffffin good.. better than that starsucks coffee !

It's a super bowl.

I talked to this place and they seem to know how to do good job on the HKs. http://wargoselectronics.com/home.html

My Klipsch Speakers make more of a positive difference in my life than any football game.

I have it in the first box. Now I need to get a second box big enough to hold the first box plus some cushioning material. I had a box in mind, but critters made it into a home inside the garage. I’ll get a proper box tomorrow.

Big thumbs up for the natural, but I like most sports based movies. Bloodsport hasn't been mentioned yet.

Great game

Did she understand it wasn't live?

I haven't watched a Whole Superbowl Game in 30 or more years. I want a Trophy.

Yes they can...until late in the 4th quarter when Marcia Brady tosses a ball and gets his weekly interference call.

After 2/3/59, the other day the music died was the day Tyco bought Dynaco. It’s good to see the DIY traditions of Dynaco live on, with real improvements, through efforts like this.

I use the Milhouse line of shredders from Nixon and Company.

I've used and really like the genteq stuff.

K60M's are something I've never had, so I know nothing about them. Again, my ORIGINAL Super Heresy Mod. was with a very SPECIFIC set of components, measurements, and a specific ROOM where they were used. Any deviation from those very specific drivers, stuffing material, room dimensions, and placement will change the sound. You guys are on your own with all of the different DRIVERS. So get a UMIK and REW so that you can "roll your own." Per PWK quote: "You can't make what you can't measure because you don't know when you have it made."

Not really. There's a 700' drop from one side of town to the other.

Eagles. FTW! Excellent work Philly! ...And my hats off to another performer this past year.....our make shift Gray-Hoverman TV antenna. Cobbled together out of a piece of cardboard, tape, and some leftover speaker cable, we used it to catch every NFL game we watched OTA this year in full HD and Dolby Digital surround sound. No short feat considering that even in half-bridge configuration, and placed on our floor, it still pulls 65% signal from a tower nearly 40 miles away on Mt. Lemon!

@Woofers and Tweeters James, It takes a liver, and a kidney, to reach that level of "experience". @Rivernuggets @DizRotus Congrats Seems like this item will fly nearly right over my head at some point, unless it goes ground around me.

Getting ready to not watch the super duper bowl. Fixed a pot of chili to eat while not watching

Your poll is flawed! Where is the choice for the ubiquitous "Other?" I'm voting "don't care, not watching." I'm pretty sure the results will be in the paper in the morning where I can read all about it. A lot of people watch for the superbowl commercials and that's cool but if I want to see them, they have been out on Youtube for a month. Dilly dilly. I'm certainly not going to watch the halftime show. Justin Timberlake is the entertainment, so that's self explanatory. And the Klipsch Forum prohibition on mixing politics with speakers induces me to politely decline explaining "why" any further.

According to the information I have if one team wins the other team looses but in today's world that might not be so. JJK

It was an excellent choice to go with the stepped attenuator. By eliminating a powered preamp you eliminated a potential source of noise and degradation of the sound. There's no question that Bob offers great value for those who are interested in a high power push-pull amp. This is especially true when his pricing is weighed against the ridiculous cost of other popular Dynaclones which don't sound any better. Enjoy! Maynard

Oh and food is pretty big around here . after the dust settled

"Emotional service?" Yes, I suppose you could say that; however, it's never been documented.

No contest. Chorus

You buy the bigger loudspeaker and start saving for the new network. Seriously.

A refurbished 430 for $300.00 is giving it away. Someone should jump on this because it's one heck of a unit. Good luck with your sale.[emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

This is a garage sale thread. I’m trying to sell an excellent restored h/k 430 receiver to benefit my son. The practical reality is that any reply bumps this thread to be seen by potential buyers. Nonetheless, I respectfully suggest posts unrelated to the sale of this receiver belong in a different thread.

It's been done.

I do no price other people's products, so ask him. Tell him Claude sent you. Get the ones with the DE-10 driver. Also, you can find K55V drivers and K-700 horns on Ebay. You will have to cut about 3/4" off the tweeter corners to clear the mounting screws on the K-700 mid horn to fit the tweeter in. Other than the port hole, there is not other cabinet mod required as everything just drops in. I recommend 8 screws for the woofer instead of just 4, since the magnet is so heavy on a K-42. I'm suggesting the DE-10 since it's much cheaper than the DE-120 and is perfect for a super heresy. Having listened to both, they each sound good and it's personal preference. JimJimbo is now the proud owner of this pair of speakers (I have modified others for my HT surrounds in the same way). He was blown away when he heard them at my house in Indy and I gave him a good deal. So if you have any questions about how they sound, you may want to PM him about it as I'm on to other projects not involving Klipsch mods. PEACE and good listening to all.

Hoarders. That's why there is few good sound to go around! Bunch of pack rats that won't ever let their audio gear see the light of day I tell ya. Like some acoustic black hole they suck up any deal to be had then the good sound is never to leave the basement for others to enjoy. They tell themselves "I'll repair it one day" as they look at 75 receivers, 40 pair of speakers and STILL scour the net for more gear. You know who you are. I was plain dumb lucky to get my Marantz 2500. Hoarders. It's their fault. The whole lot of them. The rest of society had HAD to go to peasant iPhone & iPods. Small sampling from the net.

$4K for L100's?? Trust me, they're not that good.

i reopen this thread as very interesting things have been said and probably useful for La Scala newcomers like me. my set is an early 90's models with AL-3. they're tucked in the corners of the small wall of an approx. 5x12 meters room, my listening position is about 5 meters away. my main system is a marantz cr610 all-in-one box or Eryk S red king EL84 tubes, working in PSE mode. I've been listening to the speakers for a full week now. bass is fine but slightly on the light/naturel side, not bottom heavy - which was expected and chosen for - as this room tends to be boomy. i got rid of Altec 19 for that, after 2 painful years of trying to make them sound right. oh, cables, right. i first tried plain mogami OFC speaker cables then Belden shindo. mogami wins the bass game hands on, even with the tubes. now, what i really re-discovered and matters most - though of course i already knew it but La Scala set things to another level: IT ALL DEPENDS of the record and mix! you take jimmy giuffre 3 (cd repress/5 albums shitty edition) with jim hall and ralph pena and you have a full, rich, low double-bass in all its glory, and you can't even imagine bass could sound better or more natural. then you take one of the shittier cd i ever listened to, not musically but as mastering goes: Brian Ferry/bete noire (don't ask me how it landed here ;-): there is no bass AT ALL, and the rest of the mix is a nightmare, too. you just throw the plastic away. xcept it may sound fab in a car system (but too late, i'll never know). try to listen to james carter/"heaven on earth" cd and christian mc bride chorus (one of his finest) and you're swept away by the bass, it's rich, plenty deeeeeeep and you can't get enough. even john medeski's organ sounds great (and i hate organ, xcept for a few larry young tricks). that live session recording is astounding. then you play neil's/harvest moon cd and you want to howl and growl at it for such a lame job. take st-germain/boulevard. it's 90's house/jazz electro with kick, snare, 4/4 and deeep synth bass- and plenty of inspired live jazz and blues samples in the mix - you know it could reach lower if you had listened to it on a good club sound-system back in the days but the soul and the groove are here. and as it is,it's good enough for me at home. so of course i will take the sub-test sometimes and maybe i won't be able to live without it ever after. or not. but i'm pretty sure that 80% of the real "lack of bass" issue are in the records and the mix itself - not the speakers. you can't hear proper bass if it's not there. La Scala speakers are hyper-revealing and it comes at a price.

Hello: As an old sound/recording engineer the factors are going to be: The Bass used - electric or acoustic How it is miked and the microphone used - a factor in orchestral, symphonic, organ etc. The Amplifier used if it's rock music - tube or SS, eight 10" speakers as in a Traynor or an 18" in an Acoustic brand amplifier Tone settings - on the instrument if electric and on the amplifier and in all cases the settings on the Recording board - its unique sound Mackie vs EV vs Samson vs Behringer etc. Final mixdown and the points of digital, analog, etc. With drums what used to known as the bassdrum is now called the "Kickdrum" Go to a concert now and the Kickdrum is a few db more than in the 70s or 80s. And the list goes on. The LaScala has a longer throw and can reveal flaws in the room - standing waves, brightness, etc.. The urge for more bass has come as a partial result of the Kickdrum microphone with the head inside the drum, better equalizers, single amplifiers that can equal the wattage of all of John Entwhistle's Marshall's together. Improved home audio amplifiers Speakers such as Klipsch that can produce high db so that what is not necessarily such a low note can move your shirt without having to have 200 watts per channel RMS. The bass drivers in the LaScala make a difference I had 2 pair, bought about 18 months apart. 1st pair = great bass, 2nd pair = definitely less bass, Company changed drivers. At that tiem they were nice enough to exchange as long as I paid shipping. HT has also contributed to desire for more bass to equal theater volume for explosions, car crashes, etc. I did have one pair outside for 1/2 hour. Couple watts, all heard halfway down street. A lot of bass is perception from feeling, thus sub-woofer (or K-horn.) There is no right answer only what the owner wants to hear. My LaScalas did great on a low C - Tacotta and Fugue to me. Some want more.
