  1. This is an open letter I sent to the company today...I wanted to share here too. Happy Birthday Paul W. Klipsch! I would love to tell the old man that a few more times. I have been to a few of his birthday parties. I think my favorite one was his 96th. My wife at the time and myself were invited to visit them at a friend of theirs home in Hot Springs. We met with Steve and Becky Phillips there. They had just been to Hope for the first Pilgrimage and received the invite from Mrs. Valerie. Once we all were there, we ate, talked and listened. That’s right, we set and listened to Khorns with PWK on his birthday. In my book that has a supper high cool factor. Not long after that, Klipsch offered Steve a job and he and family moved up to Indy and I made a new best friend. I would like everyone to take a min. to think about their job and that PWK made that posable. We owe a ton to that man and I for one am very thankful. When Paul passed, I told Valerie that Gabriel needed help with his horn so they called Paul up to help. I look forward to hearing that horn someday. Trey Cannon – Systems Engineer

  8. Greeting from Tucson, The clock says 7:55 am, but my EST-zone body says 9:55 am. Yesterday was mostly spent in the air. First Detroit to Dallas, then Dallas to Tucson. Air travel used to be a pleasant adventure, today it’s drudgery.

  20. Order placed on Monday, arrived on Thursday, can't beat that. First impressions, man these things are beautiful. A timeless classic look that no modern slim tower can compete with. Only had an hour or so to listen, but so far, I'm very impressed.

  21. DizRotus, flying is an ordeal now. I was groping for the word... That's why I am renting a vehicle for my road trip. I can get from here to Chicago in 30hrs of driving time.... and not have to search for bags it still a bit fresh down here. It's about 10` cooler in the AM. Callin' for 80`. Nice for your trip. Chance for rain Sunday. I think Sat night/ early Sun... have a good time.

  22. --- That there is what convinced me to retire. "Flying the friendly skies" ain't all its cracked up to be these days. The light bulb came on for me when due the ineptness of a field salesman I was asked, told, to fly to Buffalo in December. Yeah, that sounded like a well laid plan. So with a weather delay to Buffalo, imagine that, I'm trudging through the Detroit airport at 11:30P with still a flight to catch. The lightbulb burned a hole through my head and I said, that's it, I'm done. And a few months later, I was.

  23. Lagering requires pretty strict temperature control (lower temps) during fermentation phase - which is why I haven't made a lager myself yet. I really want to make a Marzen/Oktoberfest though, so I'll have to figure something out. (temporarily using my upright freezer for fermenting instead of dispensing perhaps) Whelp... I know of a project I need to do (was planning on a jockey box anyway, but I like this design) As for yeast... I haven't tried harvesting my yeast after fermentation yet. Too scared I'd contaminate it somehow. I just buy new yeast (usually in a wyeast smack-pack) for each brew day. I have made 1 starter, when I made a clone of Three Floyds' Mummy Dust (6.0% ABV). It came out pretty well.

  24. We are gong to convert our redwood two hole outhouse into a sauna. Much of the building materials for this place are reclaimed/recycled. The redwood and windows [the glass has wrinkles] came from an old railroad station. The aluminum "siding" on the back of the house, is old litho plates. Interesting place. We got contents, too. stuff ranging from leghold traps to a RadioFlyer wagon. A converted truck bed "trailer" that has wire spoke wheels. The bed is rotted away. I have no idea where the pumpkin [rear end] came from. A friend said it looked like a tractor. We bought half a museum... pieces of mining equipment in the yard. All things the original owner dragged here. I keep expecting to run into a lockbox when I am trying to dig. The garden was almost an archeological dig. I have pulled up woodstove parts, sash weights more crap than I can recall....

  26. That is exactly why I reached out to Klipsch back in November about reviewing the RF-7 III since everyone was asking how different were they from the RF-7 or the RF-7 II. I own the RF-7 and RF-7 II and Klipsch thought it was a great idea so they sent me a pair to review. After moving them into the theater room, I realized reviewing the RF-7 III for home theater without the matching center would be weird so they graciously sent me RC-64 III to review as well. My goal is to provide as much info as I can on them during the time that I have them.

  34. My Mother always told me the truth. Especially when I didn’t want to hear it. She tried her best to make sure I did the right thing. Unfortunately, she taught me to question things and I applied that by questioning if the right things were truly right. She didn’t always appreciate my application of her teachings. Anyway, I think, part of the demise of intellectualism is the lack of questioning the information we are presented. And the respect we gave those brave enough to appreciate both sides of an argument.

  36. I find that if you use a trantik emulation, supposed upon a third order divergence, coupled with a good lyric such as "Hey, Hey, Good By" your inner gestalt will express itself in the middle of the astral plane, thus rendering "Louie, Louie" into the ultimate sonic expression it truly is. If that's not too obtuse for you.

  39. Moray, I can't agree with this. Differences in sound when trying the various impedance taps are caused by a slight shift in output stage distortion characteristics since the speaker impedance variations are reflected back to the opt primary. In the case of the HF-81, the global fb loop is taken from the 16 ohm tap so that almost the entire secondary (there is also a 32 ohm tap if I recall correctly- please tell me if that is inaccurate) is "active." And, of course, the nfb does make the output stage fairly immune to the impedance variations anyway. It's simply a matter of using whichever tap provides the most pleasing sound with a particular speaker. Maynard

  40. The SVS SB-2000 is a very capable subwoofer with a small footprint. Contact @MetropolisLakeOutfitters and Cory will hook you up. I ran my dual subs with KG 4 mains and they worked awesome together.
