Wife got me these for my birthday.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You may have seen these already in alerts or in 2 channel. I have these on eBay. I'm asking a lot for them on eBay or best offer. EBay charges fees, PayPal charges fees, and now Massachusetts charges tax on third party selling sites such as eBay. That is basically the reason for the high price on eBay. That being said, for an established forum member I'll offer these speakers for what I have into them. $800 and they are yours. Contact me through the forum and not eBay for this deal. They are great speakers, but I haven't been listening to them lately, so I feel like my experimenting with them is done. I don't need to sell these, but I figured someone on the forum might want to give these a more permanent forever home.

They are Ramblin Rose c1979. Not sure if you know how they are made, but I have read that it's made from sheets of birch and walnut that are dyed and reglued and radially cut to achieve that effect. Gotta be an expensive process. I've also read that there were only 25 pairs made with this veneer. The pic doesn't do them justice. They are hypnotic.

I read through all twelve pages of the original thread and with all the research you put into them, I already know I’m going to enjoy them.

It was just on the national news. Several people in custody.

He should bring back a plane load and start a roasting business.

My wife loves it and sends them to me. She has some books my son loves to read. Can like and follow on FB https://m.facebook.com/berkeleybreathed/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea I like free. After all the Jubes were not free, the Xilica was not free, and all the other equipment neither. And after all I'm just trying to get 95% of the way "there". The idea of paying lotsa bucks for that additional 5% does not appeal to me. As Chris says YMMV

😆

Oh my..... Yes dinner at minimum. It's one thing to drive down the road and get them but 5 hrs. It might be a birthday present but you are definitely going to need to top that on hers. :-)

I looked into these quite a bit a while back but never pulled the trigger on getting the components. From what I read they will make excellent surround or ceiling atmos speakers and they radiate in a way that nomatter what angle you listen you still get a good soundstage. Many people rum them with a super tweeter though for the high end. I think the optimal setup is using rigid fiberglass board. The technology is actually moving into the pro audio field as well: http://www.tectonicaudiolabs.com/

The Version 1 CF series were designed by Roy Delgado (Forum name @Chief bonehead) who worked closely with Paul Klipsch and was his protege. The Version 1 speakers have a longer port tube, i think around 6 inches, and are known for being extremely balanced and musical. Supposedly some dealers didnt think it they sounded "Klipsch Like" so Klipsch revised the design for Version 2 which had shorter ports to change the speaker to have more 'sizzle' at the cost of the original V1 smoothness. Then they moved to Version 3 which had cheaper drivers and colored wiring. Roy typically works in the Pro side now but recently designed the Forte III which is another speaker that I am sure will be just a coveted in the future. As for an investment, assuming you keep them in good shape I imagine the V1s will always hold their value.

Never heard anything, went looking and nothing in the news. I wasn't sure where Arivaca Az really was so I went looking, it really is a small place, but I was surprised it's only about 10 miles from the border.

I don't do Kopi Luwak.

I've read that about the Dirac, but I can't get past the reviews I've read about the Emotiva Pre-Pro user interfaces. I just keep reading they're not very refined, and if I'm going to drop a bunch of money in one, I'd want it to work effortlessly. I've heard their equipment is well-built, but several posts in my searches have given me a little doubt. How would you compare it to an Integra since you have experience with both? I've had a recommendation to look at the DRC-R1, and I haven't see any bad comments about their equipment. The system is mostly for movies, but even for music, I like to have all channels firing if possible. From what I read on the Marantz, it allows separate calibration for subs and separate video settings per source rather than a global setting. I love the system you've got...I've got a similar one (all heritage).

I didn't know what that was but definitely heard of the KG-4's, they look like there in great shape. Happy Birthday to you ! And tell the wife well done, not many wives would do that.

The mini-blinds or the vertical blinds?

I don’t believe that measurements are everything, but I do believe that if the differences people claim to hear between speakers, cables, amplifiers, cd players, etc. can’t be reliably identified while blinded, then the differences aren’t really there.. just mho

Heritage for sure. They are still great speakers and are reasonably priced in today's market.

I'm looking to move to a 2'' midrange horn on my K-horns and thought I'd take a shot in the dark that someone might have moved on from the Volti Audio stuff or was looking to otherwise sell it. Pic of my horns because I love them.

Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is a great cover recording of Hey Joe by Otis Taylor I still prefer the Hendrix version by a whisker Tell me what you think of the photos

Did you try different cables ? I had the same thing happen when I first started using REW, then I tried some different cables and eventually found a few that were both equal and flat in the sweep calibration. Toss the bad ones.

Massive girth indeed. Where have I heard that before.... Oh well glad you enjoy your cable. Hell of a bargain in my book.

Yikes 😬 I guess I forgot how much I rely on the HDMI bus from my laptop to my AVP to give me consistent undistorted output. I don't know what to say other than "good luck". Chris

Everything is working.. Just have to Hang the antenna and run the 100 feet of coax

I like penguins and the "composition/artwork" definition of opus.

I'd try short wall, in the corners at 45 degrees.

I wish these were closer to me.

Plug and play convenience and rock solid performers. Somebody want to take their stereo to another level. Get this rig. Bill

Impressive.

Does anyone use Yahoo messenger for emails? Did you get a notice saying that they are shutting that service down on July 17, 2018? Wow what a PITA to change all addresses linked to your email....bank, brokerage, FB, contacts and on and on. Any tips on a better way to make the change? Wonder if I will lose my post count here after I reactivate my account? After a little search I think the message just referred to the mobile app! What a relief!

Companies are selling hidden speakers this way. The speakers can be items you wouldn't typically think about like pictures on the wall or other items.

Hope Y'all don't mind - but I'm just going to keep updating this thread as I work on the K-Horns... I'll get some detail pics soon, but I started piecing the hats together today. Several angle brackets got the sides attached and then I test fit the top and grille. I also installed all teh side covers. Planning to continue with small angle brackets and screws and once its all back together, then I'll glue where the breaks occurred. Pics: Horns with TV and AV rack before: With right side hat installed and sides installed:

It's weird that I'm only now finding out about our reunion. I thought for sure I was still in your will under "sound equipment".

Well .... on the new laptop the REW is downloaded and running. The UMIK cal files are installed and REW recognizes it being hooked up. I've got the XConsole software installed to control the XP 4080 crossover. I'm getting darn close to being able to do some damage. I've got to learn how to use REW now. Some youtube tutorials are in order.

And that's exactly what it takes most of the time “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” Calvin Coolidge

NICE!

I would eat the cat before drinking that sheet.

I'm kind of burned out on things from Kenya.

Cool room and very nice K-horns, good luck with your search!

I have admit to being undecided on that issue. I take it you are in the camp "if it can't be measured it isn't real?" My being wishy-washy is because I've never understood how someone can look at a chart and decide if a thing sounds good or not. I think some of you charts-and-graphs guys might be able to do that, but I sure can't. My common sense says you can hear things that can't be measured but (duh) I don't have any data to back that up!

That is what I was thinking... I did not know PWK was into early country swing.

Tried macro mode on my old Nikkor. Last batch of Fuji Superia Xtra 200 35mm film that was available locally. i think Fuji discontinued this film now.

Yeah they came in Walnut.

SOLD

I call a BIG BS. Now if McIntosh wanted to (and should) replace them all due to the other, rare, malfunction fine. You to pay? NO WAY IIRC an forum member that has been absent for a while (Cigarbum) bought 275s and had power tube failures very quickly. Mc overnighted him all new tubes. I visited him during the event.
