My new to me Vincent Baldwin is showing off glowing in the dark...and sounding just glorious pushing the CF-4s. Lyle Lovett, on Joshua Judges Ruth says, hell yeah! Thanks @joessportster Rick

Yep you need a cup of coffee

Yup, cleaned out my trusty Mr Coffee yesterday and even washed the pot! Loaded it up this morning, hit the GO button and sat down here listening to it gurgle... Looked out and saw coffee all over the kitchen floor! PERFECT! Forgot to put that clean pot under the system... Here we go! 😂

Klipsch RC-64 III in their new home in the Mancave. A member of the Klipsch Owners FB page wanted an original RC-64 to put between his RF-83's. I already had both. He ordered the RC-64 III because he couldn't find an RC-64. After a few months he was not happy with the blend between the RF-83 with its 1.25" compression driver and the larger 1.75" CD of the III. He offered a straight trade and we made a deal. I put a nice Usher MTM between the RF-83's because of the way they blended. I put the III in the Mancave because the CF-4 uses a 1.75" CD. As I expected the RC-64 III and the CF-4's play nice together. It's like they were made for each other. Win-win-win. How do they sound? Believe it or not you can NOT hear any of the speakers. None! This is a bedroom size room so maybe 14x12 and all you hear is sound. It's absolutely seamless no matter where you stand or sit in the room. It's like the sound is in your ears, not from any source. Crystal clear, everywhere, all sound pressure levels. +++ Nearfield Computer Room Stuff: 3.2 setup, CF-4, RC-64 III. Dual Ultimax 15 subs driven with dual Inuke 3000dsp. Dual TV's, dual monitors.

Good thing you didn't forget the windows down on the car and had a rain. If the speakers would have swelled up a little they would have been in the car permanently.

You don't know my better half yet They will be cleaned or my name will be dirt.

Good morning all. Up and at it early this Saturday. Chores.... Hopefully I will get the KP-250s out of the back of the car and start getting them cleaned up today. Still working on the drain behind the wall I built..winter rains are coming. But first a few cups of coffee and a good breakfast are in order.

Bass has authority and the midrange is glorious! That Lyle Lovett album has great dynamic range and the system is showing that in spades!

OK, not Klipsch, but I also maintain a JBL room so this pertains to that space. JBL 250Ti circa 1984. The original owner passed away 10 years ago, and his son who has kept them in immaculate condition graciously allowed me to purchase them from him. He told me moving out of state and downsizing has its disadvantages, but he rarely had time to use them anyway. As some of you may know I have recently made serious efforts to obtain such a pair of speakers, and to find them within 150 miles, and in such pristine condition is unbelievable to me. They even came with very large speaker spikes added by the original owner.

I have had Khorns for about 13 years now and have never really been satisfied with the Bass on them... I really only use the Khorn Bass Bins and when I first got the Khorns, I replaced the Khorn Midrange with Altec Multicell Horns. When I first got the Khorns I started tweaking the Bass Bins with Pipe Insulation on the Backs of them, so that they would 'seal' into the corners. Maybe I didn't do it right, but I was never satisfied with the Bass. About 5 years ago I upgraded to Oris Horns atop of my Khorn Bass Bins. Everything is pretty much Perfect with the Oris Horns, but the Bass was still not Doing it for me'. So, I installed Baltic Birch Plywood Backs on the Khorn Bass Bins.... Quite a Project.... Was not sure whether it helped or hurt. About a month ago, I decide to go back to the Stock Bass Bins and see what they sounded like, and then maybe start adding tweaks 1 at a time.... So I stripped off the Back Panels... The pipe insulation was already gone to facilitate the Back panels. I pushed the Khorn Bass Bins back into my Corners and fired up the tube Amps.... Holy Moly, I've got Bass Now !! Sat down and listened to a variety of Tracks and everything 'came to life'... Bass I had never heard out these Khorns before! .... I had 2 audiophile friends over and they were as blown away, as I was. I put on the Track of 'Fanfare for the common Man' by Copeland and we could not believe our ears. No need to add any tweaks or fool with the PWK Bass Design... I do have great corners with Solid Block walls one one side and 6 inch Thick MDF Panels on the other side to brace the corners....These are really quite perfect for me now.... Tweaks don't always make things better... Not for me anyway.

If all you want to do is clear codes you can do a capacitive discharge. Remove BOTH cables from the battery and hold the cable ends together for maybe 15 seconds while making sure you're not touching a battery terminal. This will discharge all capacitors in every module that are used for module memory.

Well good luck with that one, can't help you there haha.

Don't know how much cleaning they will need.... But I sure hope you enjoy them.

Ten thousand in the stock market is just silly numbers you see on your computer screen. That hundred bucks is Real Money and comes out of your wallet!

told y'all it was close.... the LSII would not have fit. That inch would've been a too much

One thing I like better than great horns is amplified, yet subtle sarcasm. Thank you for the above average dose you have given me here. My week is complete. LOL.

You have no idea how wonderful that makes me feel!! All I have been yearning for is your approval. Also learning that your speakers have amazing micro detail and dynamics is a huge bonus. My daughter is playing a private party tonight but the way my luck is turning out today I plan to leave early and buy a lottery ticket or two!! Thank you for making my day special.

Look at those shiny shoes.

A bit here and there but we are now getting creamed. JJK

@Emile, I found the perfect vintage system for you. Easy days worth of stock pennies. They might even have two for you. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis94fd9-marantz-10b-home-theater?utm_campaign=Saturday_Email_20180929&utm_content=saturday_email_20180929&utm_medium=email&utm_source=zaius&zm64_id=c3Bpcml0b2ZyZXZvbHQ3NzdAeWFob28uY29t

First one vinyl

Haha it's still silly money when it goes to zero. After all, it is only a problem if you want to take that imaginary money out, pay taxes and put it in your wallet.

She's a keeper then. For sure Well yea, she likes the speakers, and puts up with his crazy butt and is smart and works, he did well.

I read once about a house with a basement full of water from a weeks worth of rain. The homeowner pumped all the water out of the basement with a huge commercial pump. The pressure from the outside soil caved a basement wall in. Hydrostatic pressure can be brutal.

This is probably a European system, maybe Holland?

She's a keeper then. For sure

I've got a Chrysler, as big as a whale And it's ready to set sail!

=== yep, looks like the car Might fit in my 402, just maybe —

"Good Grief" I've seen refrigerator boxes bigger than that vehicle. Looks like the La Scalas got the blackout treatment. Need setup pics!

Well if you ever needed a job you could go into young ladies clothing department and work in sales, they all seem to try to put 2 pounds into a one pound container. Glad it all fit, it doesn't get much closer than that, and a safe trip and the wife likes them, great job. .

Hello, I have a line on a local set of Klipschorns. The label says K-B-WO and the serial numbers are 6M601 and 6M602. Best I can tell these are mid-seventies. Can some one help with the definite date these were made? Thanks in advance

To be safe lets say the last weekend of Sept. if you'd like these let me know. By Halloween they're gone, come heck or high water!

Congrats on the find! Shakey

She'll just about buy that one tonight and closing in on 120 shows this year. Do the math. Oh and she's 17 Sometimes easy is what's up

That would be interesting to see. Please post. Thanks!

Yes indeed, application and the right watts.

Good, they closed, saving people from buying overpriced audio.

The second one was louder, almost sounded like a loudness button was turned on.

Ah yes, another one bites the dust! Overpriced, crappy sound that can't be compared to Klipsch or any other competitor because they are EXCLUDED (not to be confused with exclusive) from any A/B demo (Bose vs. Bose only). But their HUGE marketing budgets sure propagated their name among those who think speakers should be nearly invisible (or the size of sugar cubes). Heck, I met a Hewlett Packard Engineer at a convention in San Jose, who took me back to HP Headquarters to play me a Bose system with those little sugar cubes with shitty little subwoofer. He cranked them up and said "listen to how loud you can get these things, impressive for their size, don't you think?" Since I had lived with Klipshorns for many years and was accustomed to low distortion, I was appalled at how such grossly high IM distortion could be totally undetected by my otherwise intelligent host, with me cringing at my ears being tortured by the second. I just agreed with his premise so we could leave as soon as possible. Tin ears, indeed.

2nd much better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Emile doesn't share well... Sometime I'll have to tell you the story about what it took me to steal his cleaning lady and bring her to Ohio for a few weeks! The receiver? Onyk, Oynk! Stock market $$$? His wallet is taped tite w/purple Duck tape! Carry on! 😂

Interesting. You have been complaining about those for years. I'm glad you found Nirvana (or at least close)

Well, I did go from Jantzen Superior Z caps (which are very good, but nicely priced) to Jupiter VT on the primary and Auricap PPT Thetas. I shouldn't say I didn't expect to hear anything different, because I did expect that. However, the delta was not night and day, but was modest.

Thanks for you offer. I had one I bought off ebay but it turned out to be reconed with a 2240 cone it was not listed as such that is why I looking for one. I am going to recone it since I have no need for a 2240 just hated to do so as it looks new. Sorry to waste your time.

Los Angeles, CA

....Side B after a cleanup..............this record is in VERY nice condition given it's age!

Yep, he probably meant to catch the lizard instead of hitting you!

The dam is high, but the water is patient.

I don't think the passive is a big obstacle because Klipsch has done the hard work if you are just copying same box size you can buy new passives directly from Klipsch from the forte III or you can go with a passive 12" as they are very common used on eBay. I personally don't think there was a huge difference between the 12 and 15 passives both have great bass and same rated response.
