Can help with some of it. Have listened to this 4 song youtube more times than I can remember. Almost a reference standard to audition new gear. May want to dampen the treble a tad as Ric likes the cymbal quite some. Alvin and Co...:

Wouldn't that be, "Think outside the triangle?

I agree, if you are naked in the woods and your not on drugs... Well then you have a serious problem.

or a case of MRE's

they are allowed one piece of survival equipment ... so far, nobody has asked for a Winnebago

You should, you need them, just remember when you go to gather and scavenge them to wear clothes even and especially if someone is filming. It would give a whole new meaning to the word WillyBob. Never watched Naked and Afraid but if they are expected to do what's need to survive they did well, the crew should have been better at making it inaccessible. And your right a pit trap or snare then proceed to clean the catch to eat, whose fault would that be ? Never watch any of those shows, people have to be stupid to volunteer for that. What are they thinking, things are going to well, I want to be dropped off in the middle of nowhere with nothing just for fun, naked. dumbasses

There 35 minutes from you go take a drive... Tell the wife your going to buy A.case of wine !

Congrats to Washington ! It was a good series. Now only if my team can get a goalie, I'd be 😁

Hi Bruce, I hope your Forte's sell quick. I hope you don't mind some suggestions. List the finish List the sn of the Forte. That will tell people the year they were born. Edit your post to break your single sentence into paragraphs. Put the price at the top. Add some pictures. A lot of people like the Forte's but any serious buyer will not buy them at $700 sight unseen. Show pics of both speakers, sides, tops and backs. A pic of the tag will help as well as a pic of the passive radiator. I am not a potential buyer but I'd like to help you sell them. Thanks for listing them here first on the Klipsch forums where you have a decent chance of selling to people who really love Klipsch and know what Forte's are. -Dave GLWYS

WALNUT FINISH, $599 {SERIAL #'S : 8616385, 8616386...} I'm probably going to hate myself in the future for doing this, but seeing as I've had my Klipsch Forte speakers boxed up for the last 14 years, (much longer then i used them), so i think it's time to sell them to someone who will appreciate them once again... I've seen quite a few sets of these for sale over the years, but never in the condition of the ones that i have... I always wonder why many of the speakers I've seen have rusty screws, along with beat up cabinets and pushed in woofers or passive radiators.. I have taken really good care of these ! I don't have children, so no little bundles of joy have poked their sticky little fingers where they don't belong ! lol ...and i don't smoke cigarettes so they won't smell nasty either... Seeing as i lived next to the Commissioner of Public Safety in my town, i have to say that i babied them, lol.. Then i moved to a smaller house with even closer neighbors, so i left them in storage (at my parents house) ..... Did i mention that they are in the original boxes ?!!! So if you've been waiting to find a really good pair, and live within driving range of the Jersey shore, this is your chance.. An hour and a half from Philly, and an hour from N.Y.C., (assuming light traffic...) Exit 109 on the parkway, near Red Bank..... I'll miss them, i'm sure, but i do still have Klipsch bookshelf speakers, sound bar with sub for tv, and speakers with sub for computer, so i'm still pretty well equipped.. 🐵 i just edited all my pictures so that they are under 2MB only to find out that 2MB is the total size allowed..lol.. lots more pics available..just ask !!!

Found these (modified) Sunn speakers on eBay ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sunn-Speakers-Dual-12s-Wooden-Horn-Klipsch-K55-drivers-Altec-1209-9844-OUTDOOR/322977647433?hash=item4b32f7cb49:g:NS4AAOSwuP9aHJ6M ... $1980 ... no clue. Looks interesting (and "local" to me). Any thoughts?

It doesn't get any better than "Old Milwaukee"? Where? in hell?

I had my Tuscon field trip. Got to listen to some FIIIs. They are pretty darn nice. I found them quite pleasing. Especially when I am used to R15Ms. Now I really want my stuff from Indiana. I had a good time. The host said I was "fun" I guess, as in, not stuffy... Just being my usual irreverent, irrelevant self. I was watching Naked and Afraid the other day. A couple is placed in "the wilderness" to survive ... hunting, gathering, scavenging ... one couple got disqualified for raiding the film crew's food. I wonder how the producers would have felt if the "contestants" caught one of the film crew in a snare or pit trap?

Sold to forum member ARjetman. He is a new forum member so I wanted to let other members know that he is a great guy and don’t hesitate for future dealings. Adam

Quite literally it will be:

This reminds me. My Grandparents lived on Bainbridge Island near Seattle when they were still alive. For years my Grandpa had a tarp and rope in his trunk in the event Rainier ever blew he wouldnt get ash on his car. It was just one of those 'Grandpa' things you just know its better to not ask into too much.

excuse my ignorance. thickness of what? Ash?

Never, I have a dumb coffee pot, it has no button, It requires someone even dumber to fill it with hot water. Although I have done the opposite by putting water to boil and finding it boiling water onto the stove when I forgot about it. It's one of those kettles that whistles when the water boils but was dropped and the whistle part broke off, another sign I needed coffee.

Wow, those look really interesting. The seller seems very knowledgeable as well.

I realize what the Seller has in those but it's not realistic to think you'd get the same money back out of them. At that $2K price pointI would look for Khorns instead, for the sound and for the resale value. Still, I give the Seller full credit for explaining what he has and how he came to that price. He sounds very knowledgeable and honest. You kind of have to when selling a basterdized speaker because you have to "sell" the sound since nobody else knows what they sound like.

Erich H from DIYSoundgroup designed the flat packs then has them CNC cut and sells them at cost to the DIY community. He also provides the same flat packs, including the great packaging, to PE.

I'm pretty happy with my DIY sub from PE, the Reference 15 w/Yung 500 watt plate amp w/bass boost. Use bass boost for sealed. About $500 for this combo. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-15-reference-series-ho-subwoofer-and-cabinet-bundle--300-7093 https://www.parts-express.com/yung-sd500-6-500w-class-d-subwoofer-plate-amplifier-module-with-6-db-at-25-hz--301-514 PE has something called the Sub 15 (also Sub 12, etc) for $200 shipped. The downside to that sub is the 150 watt plate amp which is fairly anemic. I bought the Sub 10 for my son about three years ago and the amp gave up (caps went out) earlier this year. It worked pretty well with his modest 5.1 setup until then. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-sub-1500-15-150-watt-powered-subwoofer--300-634

Grilles on those were wrapped around the motorboard and stapled to the rear side of it. Then the motorboard was NORMALLY screwed to the blocks in the front of the cabinet. The seal of the motorboard to the cabinet is not as solid as the ones from later where they were glued into the cabinet and Velcro was used to attach the grille cloth panel....but it was the common way to do things in the mid-1960's. I would just get an amp of some kind, or better yet, a receiver , and give them a listen....I am pretty sure your grandparents took good care of them from the one pic you posted, and they probably never overpowered anything so everything should still work fine. I am not sure, but I believe they will BASICALLY have the same network in them (E) as mine from 1978 have, EXCEPT for the polarity reversal having been done for one of the drivers (I am not sure which one, but I think it is the woofer) having been done...and that can be done with a screwdriver in five minutes. It is in the Dope from Hope stuff about the e-type network polarity change somewhere...circa end of 1960's/beginning of 1970's.

Got one from my phone but it's the same on IE. EDIT Now that you've seen it, I'm taking the screen shot down.

I really liked Anthony Bourdain and this was hard to take this morning. The guy had balls, I always liked how his shows had a gritty, real feeling where he threw himself headlong into the culture instead of just dabbling in fine restaurants and hotels. Anthony was a true traveler instead of a tourist and that is something I always respected.

At the bottom you should see an area that says "go to my inbox". Click that.

If whoever buys this doesn't have a Pi already, hit me up and I'll send you one free and clear. It's a great device to learn on, excellent as a music endpoint, and not having one shouldn't be the roadblock for someone to pick this up from OP.

The laws of Canadia, especially the Frenchy areas, are weird when it comes to contests and giveaways. That little question is there to prove mental competency. Some time not so long ago, a person won something, didn't understand the terms of winning, and ended up in a lawsuit.

Sorry, I dig this thread. Get out the measuring tape, apply some audio geometry, and have a listen. Too fun. Ahh, what lengths, no pun intended, we'll go to enjoy our tunes. Placement, placement, placement... If non-Horn user don't forget about toe in. You can spend days angling, re-angling, just to find that sweet spot of imagery. Move slightly from the back wall, reverse towards the back wall, toe-in half an inch more, or less, it's endless. I do like the triangle. Have fun Shakeydeal!!

Two thirds gone and a one goal game....go knights, I'm not ready to lose hockey until the fall yet. Especially the way baseball is going.

You know about it. I know about it. Someone must be covering it. What more could you want to know? They don't vote for our elections in Guatemala, you know, like neither does Puerto Rico. So it's not important. It's just like Paris Hilton said---"there's nothing to do in France because it's not America, and they all just talk France talk."

I just sent him a note, telling him $1500 or so, is usually what a pair goes for. Perhaps, he actually wants to make some money on them.

It will take some injuries or ejections of the Warriors for that to happen. That's exactly how they beat GS in the finals before. That, and they had Irvin.

must have heard, "If you are having trouble selling it, raise the price".

Six cores, 12 threads, 5 GHz. I'll use it to build a computer that runs XP, so I can store my recipes in Notepad.😕

I got the Chandos Black Knight and Bavarian Highlands CD out and looked again at the first track. Here is the "plot spectrum" (loudness cumulative PSD curve) from that track: 'Twas Pentecost: Here is the first-cut demastering curve that I just reconstructed(!): and the final "plot spectrum" plot after normalizing the track again: That's as big of a demastering curve that I've used on any of my 400+ classical CDs--by a factor of two or three (on a dB scale). That probably far exceeds any nuances of what you'd see impressed into the frequency response of a loudspeaker of the makes and models that you mentioned. The tracks are actually listenable now after demastering and are interesting...but not what I'd call "hi-fi". (I couldn't listen to all the tracks in one sitting before demastering. Listening fatigue would set in after a few minutes.) I wonder what kind of thinking it would take for that? It must be a very strong organizational culture to produce that result. I've found that EQ on the order of 2-3 dB maximum (not 24 dB) is plenty to achieve whatever shaping of the sound that the mastering "artists" (versus "engineers") want. YMMV. Chris

I am listening to this video between jobs i am working on

Only one system. I have never cared to have more than one. If i had a secondary system, i would always listen to the best one anyway.☺️

Stop it Jim. I can't sell any networks unless I can get people to cave into my fear mongering. :-)

That is nice, bookmarked and I'll give the whole session a listen later. The yard is dry and high, gotta get to it while I can!

And now hear this:

When I was 16 I had a Honda SL 100. I loved that bike. One day I was running it flat out...BBBbbbuuuu. Engine died. I'm sure I holed the piston. I walked it home and pulled the engine because the 100's were known for holing pistons. The piston was fine. It took me the whole summer to get it back together because I didn't know what I was doing. I finally got the engine buttoned up and went to put everything back together. I go to put the tank on and "tiiiing." I rap on the tank again, "tiiiing." The gas tank was empty. I lost a whole summer of riding my beloved dirt bike because I ran out of gas and never bothered to check, I just ASSUMED I knew what was wrong. dumbazz..........

Freedom from cavities. The space under a speaker box formed by mounting it on legs can destroy the bottom octave of response and deteriorate the next 2 octaves

An interesting idea but horn loading by nature is extremely exponential in size as the frequency gets lower, then end result would be very very unpleasent, I think you would be much better just taking $400 and buying a nice pair of bookshelf speakers, there is no way to make a foot tall bass horn work in as far as I know.
