I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving day. No matter matter what life brings there's always something to be thankful for. I wish all that read this the best.

Congratulations! Drive it safely. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Very true. Hope everyone has a good day.

Happy Thanksgiving, Klipsch-Heads!

may your birds be moist !

Happy Thanksgiving. JFK day too. They don't line up all that often. I can't remember last, but don't pay that close attention. I've got a friend with a birthday. He said growing up it was always turkey or JFK talk never his birthday.

I just bought the Tercel. Hope you're doing alright Chuck. I'll call you this weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Dude, grandma's sausage/cheese balls are excellent and easy to modify with other cheeses or even (gasp, 🤢huurrrl!) chicken, turkey, cod sausage whatever those anti American foodies eat! Shrimp Creole ! very simple but very tasty and light

My first bed out of college was made up of eight tea crates (free for the asking from Lipton company at the Galveston docks) with a pad of foam rubber on top...for 5 years. In that time, I owned DIY 3-way acoustic suspension loudspeakers, and later gave them to a friend when I bought a pair of AR90s a year or so later with Pioneer receiver and direct drive TT with Shure V15 Type III cartridge. About 2 years later I sprang for a pair of Magnepan MG-IIIAs with Carver C-2 preamp and M1.5t amplifier. I was also a cat sailor/racer (NACRA 5.2, NACRA 5.5 18^2 metre, windsurfer) during that time and raced year 'round on the weekends on cats, then big boats (J24, 10-metre racing monohulls) on Galveston bay. I basically lived like a beach bum in Galveston (later Alvin, home of Nolan Ryan)--but with a very good sound system. I only accepted a donated bed from friends later--when they showed up at my door with a spare one that they had, thus having pity on my poor audiophile living state. It was like a page of my life turned when I laid down on the new bed that evening. I must've shed a little tear--knowing that life was going to change--forever. (I later married the girl that brought the bed.) That was 35 1/2 years ago. She's still here. Later, when our kids were almost out the door (i.e., graduated and with good jobs), I bought Jubilees. The rest you already know. The Magnepans are still in a box in the garage and the NACRA 5.5 is disassembled in the back yard (not having seen the water since I got married). I guess that I hang on the image of being an audiophile beach bum. Chris

OOOOPPS.....the bird is 80% gone! And it was good!

Happy Thanksgiving to all friends and family. Wish you all a safe one. Post some pics of them birds!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Klipsch Friends! Tim

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Almost half time of first game, time to get the fire started and get the bird cooking.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all ! Enjoy family and the day! FREE naps after the turkey!

Good work bluesboy! The Tercel should be a winner especially with the tube rolling that has been done already. Using it with the Micro Seiki turn table I assume. Happy Thanksgiving to all my CC&C buds!

Sweet potato pie.....maybe the best food ever invented 😀

Who cares about cheese balls... What's the shrimp recipe ?

Why is Tarheel smiling?

Because I wasn’t paying attention.

Oh... I guess I should have posted a picture of the bicycle with training wheels 😄 And some current changes in equipment I’m enjoying while using my training wheels 😀 Seriously though I’m really loving this setup and on good recordings the EQ is bypassed but a lot of recordings benefit from some modest EQ application... It’s the misuse of quality Analog and DSP EQ units that’s the problem IMHO and leads to the memes that EQ is bad and for beginners and the inexperienced. miketn

Your location please. Near Chicago I'm interested. And you won't understand this but I think I just beat @opusk2k9 to a nice speaker. MAYBE 😁😁😁 Mark

Indeed.

Turkey is DONE, Now Resting Whole house smells like smoked turkey Happy Thanksgiving to one and all

I ran dual KG 2.2's as a center for awhile called it my "poor-man's RC-64" worked great and was an improvement to my ears over just using a single speaker. Personally I would run the speakers in parallel and just keep an eye on the Receiver how much heat it puts out especially at sustained high levels but modern Receivers have near bullet-proof protection circuitry that should kick in long before any damage is done to any equipment so I wouldn't worry too much about it, assuming of course that you are running a newer AVR.

I agree! If the screws holding the grills on look cheap, they can easily be replaced with a stylish allen or Torx screw, perhaps painted to match the grills. If one doesn't like the wire mesh grills (I do), finding authentic replacements should not be a problem. Or, just wrap the wire grills in fabric and no one will notice. There's a pair of Forte's available locally for a tempting $425! The only caveat; the owner painted over the oiled oak finish. To some, they're a diamond in the rough easily cut and polished. Others will turn their nose up at the offer, not seeing the potential. Or just listen to them as-is.

Pay no attention to his narcissism mike... that's what "ignored users" option is useful for.

Denial is NOT only a river in Egypt...

At least jitter isn't surface noise that that 10bit contraption does...

At least he has a camera. Moray doesn't even own one. 😎

I would also suggest moving the center speaker to a different channel on the AVR or amp, to ensure you didn't blow a channel, and not your speaker

Yeah Mark, that was what I just paid from OneCall on Ebay, not counting the additional 15% off which dropped it further. I have never heard of that special edition though. Tim

I almost corrected that post before I left....hahaha

I am struck by that front porch. It has a very satisfying feel about it. I know you and your family, friends etc. will enjoy sitting there with a glass of refreshment on a nice evening.

first it was a tv.... And now a mattress..... you should go sit on Santa's lap... i hope you haven't been naughty.... Santa's checking his list and checking it twice...

I think it's when you tell your wife you are going to quit buying. Then you get rid of some stuff and find you still have an MCM 1900, a set of KP-450's still waiting to be picked up, three Altec A-7's in various condition to be fixed along with old KP201 and Heresy I sets, a set of 1989 KP250's and KP 301's, a set of KP 115 and 250's. Then you have that set of pristine Chorus I's and the set of Forte II's that need a bit of veneer work. In the next few weeks you are going to get a cabinet saw to make cabinets for a set of Super MWM's and a set of Chorus I's and a set of modified La Scalas because you have some parts sitting around because you bought four beat up La Scalas and only two are worth saving and a set of Chorus parts. Oh and that set of two KP-450 horns and that set of KP-456 horns on the top shelf you are getting woofers for so you can build bass bins after you get done with the pile o KPT-456's you are also buying in a few weeks. That is in between times when you are machining MAHL horn lenses. It is however not an addiction it is a fascination with audio. Right?????

Oh my.

OK; last one on mattresses ... we got a Tempur-Pedic about a year ago ... ?Flex?model ... awesome ... expensive, but we got the floor model at 50% off from a big furniture store ... haha; only 100 people laid on it for a minute ... for a $1000 savings it did not bother me Cheers, Emile

But I am biased with that sub design and the 396's. Aren't we all? That's what makes audio an awesome hobby.

Heck, I am posting from my phone. Judy won't let me have my laptop! Makes posting a lot tougher. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

They're all the same.

I have a problem eating too much already, that would not help at all. It would be like a never ending cycle until I explode. .

I had hand-me-down everything growing up, from clothes to bicycles. With 4 siblings, a "homemaker" Mom, and only my Dad working, that was the norm. I never needed anything and had a great childhood, but I wanted lots of things. We had a Western Auto store (remember those?) in my home town and their bicycle display had about 3 bikes. The same three bikes for YEARS. Whenever my Dad and I went there, I would eye up one of those bikes. I wanted it badly. One day my Dad and I went there and I went right over to the bike. He came walking over and said, "You think you could ride that all the way home?" "Huh?" "Do you think you could ride that bike all the way home?" "Yes." "Well, get on it and go." "What?" "Get on the bike and ride it home. I'll be along in a bit." I searched his eyes to see if he was serious and he was. I was grinning from ear to ear as I walked that bike out of that store. Didn't even stop at the register. The lady behind it smiled back at me. I got on it and rode it home. We lived on a really low traffic road, and I passed a tractor on the way, but no other vehicles for the 1.5 mile distance. I looked behind me and there was Dad in his truck, keeping pace. That day was the best. I rode the heck out of that bicycle for years.

Not sure if you are aware of this but here's only one official color in college basketball: Orange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
