Picked them up tonight! Now I just need someone to help me get them out of the truck...

Thanks Billy but let me show you STELLAR Large burger with 3 slices of pepper jack cheese on a bed of cheese fries and drizzle of sriracha . Top with aforementioned chili verde . And then , because you need a healthy component smother with chopped tomato cucumber and onion salad ! The Open Faced Slopper !

In the food court at one of the malls... yum, Hen Lin has chicken feet and sharks fin...

I’m having .. chest. pains.

Finish my garage. Get a new vehicle for the wife. Overhaul my LSI's. Continue the rat race. Exercise a little more and drink a little less. Don't want to go to extremes with either of those though.

=== say you bought them - for her - with the intention of using them as 🌺 pots for the new garden you’re planting - for her -. See, it’s all about “her”, your lovely wife. And if the garden thing doesn’t work you will Try to re-purpose them. Come on, think out of the 📦 —

Yup, got all that @dirtmudd but not gonna go insane researching it. It's "spatial" or I wouldn't have 3. All sleeved and everything too so I'm sure play is minimal. I'm a vinyl hoarder what can I say?

Check these out. I donated them to the museum, they will be auctioned at the pilgrimage.

We have a self cleaning oven. The wife cleans it her-self. Now that I think about it we have a self cleaning house too. Keith

To get time to set up my new Klipschorns.

Mike is a true artisan when it comes to winding transformers. I've dealt with him a number of times off and on for almost 20 years now. He always delivers top quality!

Another SIL's husband is a tricycle driver in Culion. Rates are set by local goverment. Students can get rides to school for 20 pesos which is less than 50 cents. He came with my wife's sister to pick us up in the small boat. Pauline and Eduardo...

That's because all lamps sound the same!

=== just have to see the whole picture. Told my wife the Jube bass bins/wing supports were a shadow box for “her treasured nick nacks”. The 402 - an 18 x 36 picture frame for photos of “her” grandchildren. She started weeping with that one - . The best damn picture frame shadow boxes I’ve ever heard —

Help my wife get better. Help my education get better. Stay on the wagon. Fix my bicycle and ride it often. Continue on my weight loss plan until I hit 200. Stay at 200. Stay employed. Listen to more music.

Smiles, welcome to the forum! Hands Deang a nitro pill... Scrolls...

Yes I have to agree with Mike in general about that, even Aerosmith and Rush put out some highly "produced" stuff. Or as they say new creative directions. Nope the 70s ROCKED! NO dot from me that was only once, my birthday in `79. and I'm ot already. Must have followed you home from the radio station

not bad for a garage system.. it depends on what the dead wax .. tells you... and what pressing... because someone puts a high price on it.. does not make it special... and condition is everything !

I don’t think anyone has any idea what in the hell you're talking about.

there where few exceptions

Hello! I had a set of Chorus II in a room size similar to yours but not quite as deep. 24 x 24 with a 16 foot vaulted ceiling. They did very nice and will probably sound real good with your Sansui. I now have some Klipschorns in the same spot and they are definitely a notch (or two) up. The bass, presence, and dynamics are superior to the Chorus II in my opinion. The horns are physically higher off the floor and it makes a difference in filling a large space Plus you will have more amplifier flexibility with the Klipschorns - from SS to low power tube. Chorus tend to like more power. I have tried several amplifiers with my Klipschorns and they all sound good Having had both I would get the Klipschorns in a minute if you have the budget, I don't think you will be sorry. Hope that helps.

I had long hair in those years just like the Status Quo lads Before you ask - No I’m not bald now - still have full head of hair but short

Clean it in the summer or spring then. You have to do it more than once a year?

no it's hard wired and battery back up... I put the oven on clean cycle.. and I think klipsch is missing the boat .. on smoke detectors... and after having a pair of la scala's. for 20+ years... average power of 4-7 watts... in a 11.5x10.5x9 room... the smoke detectors dont phase me ..

Just ran across this topic. The Full Marty subs are excellent. I built four of them. They are still in my room. I modified the process a bit and placed the driver on the end of the cabinet. However, they are BIG and they are Heavy! I built mine with 18mm baltic birch. Flat packs would be great for anyone who does not care to do a build. BTW, if LTD02 is the same as from the AVS forum, he was awesome to work with. He helped me with my project and my modifications back when I built mine. Very responsive and really helpful. Has the heart of a Klipsch fan! Hopefully he will make his business a success. Great guy from my experience. For those interested in the Full Marty I built, I am including pictures of what I did and a response graph while testing various slot lengths. LTD02 helped me quite a bit with the proper tuning since I changed the driver location. Reason for changing the orientation had to do with my room. Currently, they are spread out in the room to prevent nasty room modes and they are oriented vertically, with the driver aimed at the ceiling, placing the driver up in mid air. All my testing and Audyssey Pro confirm a nice flat response and they put out tons of BASS! The room 'side' picture shows two of the subs in their current vertical position.

An insult

I am not sure how many were made. If you are interested contact Cory at @MetropolisLakeOutfitters as he was the one I got mine from and I do recommend him - no affiliation. except as a customer and I met him at several Klipsch Pilgrimages. I have had two days with it now and will say it is amazing. I was having bass issues with my Jubilees and this more than cured it. My wife commented on how much of the lower octave was missing when we muted the 1502 - clearly hearing the lower notes of a stand-up bass with the proper tone and the kick drum now kicks. The 1502's affect is clean notes at low volumes and jaw dropping power when given 1000+ watts to work with. Sort of a "Tim the Tool Man" approach.

While I think it is easy enough to be self taught to solder to the point of assembling a TU-8200, but starting with the amp is not the way to go. 1) The Elenco Practical Soldering Kit is a great first introduction to soldering. It got my then 7 year-old son soldering to the point of "pretty good". I was impressed. Once you do that - do another couple kits. You should be pretty good at soldering circuit boards at that point. 2) Get a reasonable iron - temperature controlled. You don't need anything amazing, the YiHUA-936B is a reasonable choice for 25USD. I used one to assemble my TU-8200, but you really need a temperature controlled iron as some of the heat sinks require a good amount of heat to flow solder. You'll probably want to get a handful of extra tips too - can't hurt. 3) Here's the kicker - you're going to outlay at least 100 Euros on practice kits, iron, solder, parts, magnifier glasses, tip cleaner, etc. Don't look at DIY as a way to save money on the first amp. Mainly because having built a TU-8200DX and done some mods I'm pretty close to taking on a TU-8600. I really enjoyed building, but I had prior soldering experience doing repairs of electronic musical instruments and working in a structural laboratory a while back. I considered the building half the fun of the amp, and the amp is no slouch. 4) Just as an aside, the RP-160 is about the lowest class of speaker I'd consider the TU-8200 and its variants on - I've run my RB-51II off it, and while a nice sound, the quality of the amplifier is held back by the inefficiency of the speakers. I really enjoy the Elekit with my Heresy III speakers for what it is worth.

Great Plains Audio is staffed with people from the old Altec company. They bought a lot of the old production setup and do re-coning to the original specs. I was quoted I think $115 to get some 15" woofers done + shipping both ways. I would think they could do duplexes to so give them a shout. I don't see a way for you to ever get those back into proper shape and would not even try. So Facebook uses a subset of the English language as a rule? Never joined and not seeing any incentive to do so and feed the Zuckerberg privacy invasion machine.

Thanks, Y'all: Bruce, I really like what you have done, and want to do something similar, but please let me ask you why you choose the APT-150? Did the original tweeter get blown? I can see that the 150 would not perhaps fit inside the cab. Do you like the sound of the 150? Do you know if the driver has external threads? I'm intrigued with the MAHL, but will go slow and listen to the recommendations. Btw., we just watched the movie Alice in Wonderland, which does inspire you to be bold and do impossible things!!

I like the way you think

We are supposed to get home Tuesday nite 10:30... if all the flights go correctly. 1.5-2 hrs just to get through Manila to airport, 4.5 hrs to Narita, 12 hrs to Detroit, 2 more hours to Chattanooga. Only 15 minutes to the house. 😐

Sorry lads, connection here is still marginal but, like to look in. Takes a while for pics to load, etc... Status Quo, can Only imagine the Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon. An don't think I try to look here.All you are terrific and see base is growing. Happy New Year and loving what I see. Dave, dreamt of Roger McQuinn waling down the street and let him use my bathroom at work with 2 doors ...8 miles high Salute to you all...

I will soon have a pair of round magnet K-77/T-35s available. Send a PM if you’re interested. I highly recommend contacting Bob Crites @BEC. Bob is a complete straight shooter and expert. His website: https://critesspeakers.com/

Thanks! But none of that 80's harrassment. What are you going to do with Wall Of VooDoo... Mexican Radio as well as Ring Of Fire hummmnn...?

My wife takes some great photos after some practice That’s me in a favourite Akubra hat, and the panel in the background is my massage jet spa pool 😎  

Marriage, kid, job advancement, system humbling (😔).

Congrats to the buyer...and to the seller...following the new thread on new build of RF-5. A good speaker to contend with, worthy.

When I picked up my 1964 KHorn from a retired Lutheran minister in Kansas City fifteen years ago, one of the stories he and his elderly wife regaled me with was how PWK personally delivered his mono KHorn to a very small farm town in northern Iowa by plane. Pwk gave him him instructions to find a level field, position a tractor at one end of the field with the lights on, and he would do the rest. With the help of a couple neighbors, they transferred the boxes to a horse drawn hay cart, and took off for the parsonage. Paul even spent time setting it up in the living room, and 35 years later the minister had nothing but glowing admiration for an Episcopalian!

These have sold thanks for the comments and interest!

@dirtmudd Agreed on that 80's garbage! Just sat down wondering the thoughts you guys had on the Floyd LP's. So I guess the 3 of you get them and I don't. Sounds fair! I just thought it totally insane that one LP would bring that kind of money. Clueless as to what the other two on Tower label are worth. I just re-checked the Columbia and it's EMI and UK. I'm actually wondering what it sounds like now. lol Nope, not gonna look but for some reason they're the way they are from LONG ago. That's the crazy nutso thing w/my LP's. I know what I have but the rest of it's like Xmas at times. Spent a couple hours driving today to pick up a Technics system I purchased at auction... $17.25 and paired it all w/a pair of Technics speakers I picked up this fall at the same dude's online auction for $16.50. Going out in the garage mainly cause it wouldn't be right to subject anything good to the crazy yearly temp swings in Ohio. Sell it? Sure for about $500... 😂 😂 😎 Thought about where and how I got those Floyd LP's the entire time. Musta been that purple microdot I got from you @JohnJ

Have a good time while your still there, but how is it everyone is getting older except the wife ? She had a bunch of her former high school students come visit and they all looked about the same age. I suppose it would be dangerous to tell you her age...😬

Avantgarde-esque. Always liked that look on a horn. Heard some avantgardes year ago and thought they sounded incredible. They were one of the smaller models as well.... Not the duo, but the model name has slipped my mind. GLWS. Been quite the journey for you. Always trying something new. I understand that.

I used to make mention that Klipsch should create their Pro-Media line as replicas of Heritage. How cool would it be to have some 6" tall LaScalas for your PC?!!! Then.... someone made a pair. Don't recall who, but they posted a picture of them.

Survive at job to retire in May 2020.

Survive. The new tax "reform" is going to kill me.
