If you trust her it's probably worth it. I would definitely have her sign an agreement. And DO NOT let her put any kind of utility in her name. I've heard some horror stories lately about the hassles of trying to evict someone. It can take up to a year to legally evict someone, local laws are different I'm sure.

Go for it, it's not a forever decision.

Smoke detectors seem to go of if you broil, too. Made it thru the weekend. Had a nice unplanned b'day. Wife was working, at home, I didn't plan/want anything special and had a nice day. That was tempered the next AM by the news that a long time friend, 50 years, passed unexpectedly - for no apparent reason, was in good health. his boys have been getting earsful of "We used to ..." Boy got a job. He had two offers... A dude ranch and a "Boys' Ranch" took the job at the dude ranch. Told him I think that is a good choice. The folks at the dude ranch are there voluntarily and expect to have fun. The job at the boys' ranch was called "wrangler", also ....in that case, it is a polite name for guard.

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

Actually, it is a clever way to make any piece of audio equipment sound bad. It’s kind of like recording the sound of someone farting, using that recording to test a speaker, and then complaining that the speaker made a farting noise during the listening session.

My son was my tenant for about 5 years. He could have stayed there forever as far I was concerned. When he moved out I put the house on the market.

I just sold a second house as I really didn't want to be a landlord. Not cut out for it. Good luck in your decision.

Of course there is always Fatal Attraction to worry about. Keep her away from pet bunnies...

Yep I'm on the other side of the creek. Just 10 minutes away. She wants to sit in the house for an hour today to see how it "feels".😐

Sounds good... maybe too easy I did not enjoy having tenants. My situation was different, tho. The money was nice, but not worth it

Happy birthday WillyBob! Buy yourself a nice bottle of single malt and send Carl the bill. Considering a house share situation at my place since I am rarely there. I have spent two nights there in the last six months since LF and I rescued the Jakester. Rent would off set taxes, insurance, utilities that I now pay. The female tenant is pretty much the polar opposite of me. She is a night owl.....I'm a morning person. She watches CNN....I don't. What we have in common is liking dogs and both are neat as far as the house goes. She would have access to everything but my suite and the music room. I built the house thirty years ago and have maintained it in great condition. No children....no smoking....no roller skating inside. I think she would take care of things and may even be OCD about order. Thoughts?

It is all cool here. Relax, you have nothing to prove to anyone here. Your opinion is welcome and matters. Among fellow members... continue to enjoy the ride...thanks for your input...

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 ..

Boy these Super's that Claude created sure sound sweet. Even at 105-108db, clean clear and just very dynamic and just the right amount of low bass to me. My hats off to him. Using the MAHL with the BC120, K55m. Here's a few artist to try at 100db if you haven't yet. The Judds greatest hits-why not me and love is alive. Not big on country, but I like this disc. Another would be Queen-bicycle race and body language are good at high volume. America greatest hits is another. Sandman and I need you are good at spirited levels as well. Just enjoying my newly reveneered Super's today. Have a nice day.

This a big change for you Tarheel, both renting and moving in with the LF, good for both of you and I hope it all works out fine. It's hard to not be sympathetic to who you rent to when things come up as we found out. If they are good people you want to help as much as you can but it seems, in the end, they turn around and look out for only themselves as should be expected. We just went through this but after a few days have someone new renting who appear to be fine, just remember to be fair but firm, you will be the only one to deal with problems when they are long gone. We were lucky, no damage was done and it was left mostly clean, but they left a couple of months before we found out after letting them slide on rent for 3 months as the young husband lost his job with a young kid and wife at the end of the year. It was not the rent that was the problem but with no one there this left the chance for pipes to freeze, we were just lucky we never had a hard freeze yet, it was the only reason I didn't have pipes to repair. Good luck and just stay on top of it.

For a year, I ran a Schiit Sys passive switch box between my DAC, turntable and amp. Sounded great - no complaints. About 6 months ago, I added an active pre-amp with a 5-band analog equalizer. It also sounds fantastic and it simplified my cabling. My initial impression was the active-pre-amp smoothed things out a bit, but without losing dynamics. I think if you have great impedance matching and don't need to switch between several sources, a direct/passive-pre is perfect. However, if you have to smooth out impedance mis-matches between several sources, and/or need an equalizer, bass management, or home-theater-bypass, then an active pre is best. Assuming quality products, I think the slight difference in sound is related to how each method handles impedance.

Klipsch hit a home run with the LaScala II. Excellent sounding loudspeaker.

As a trustee of a family trust that bought a duplex as rental property with our two sons as tenants, I’m a residential landlord. Whether such a plan is genius or madness remains to be seen. So far, so good. The duplex is 20 minutes from my house. I wouldn’t want a long distance “absentee” landlord situation. Chuck, as long as she doesn’t show up with an empty box truck to “. . . sit in the house . . .” it sounds like a good plan.

Yep, have to agree with Mike. Did the remote landlord thing for 5 years and 2000 miles away. Not good. But your situation sounds pretty good, I'd do it.

You could learn from her.

Brotha Cesar, It's only 15 days into 2019, ...and I almost have all components for that 5.1 Dvd-Audio Jube System. I just might make that 'GAME of THRONES deadline', way ahead of my predicted schedule for that 125" Projector + Screen ! ~Rock on ... Craig

Agree.

Once he gets the replacement lock mechanism he may be able to determine where that solenoid is located or where to drill that bugger. Also if you can locate another safe like this one you could examine that mechanism insitu, template the stuff and use that as your reference.

What a mess.

Yeah, crankem up. Not quite the experience I get with the Cornwalls at these upper levels thou. I am very pleased with everything about these old Heresy's. And to think not long ago they were stored in my attic.

It only when I use the self cleaning oven... All 8 of them... 2 combo co/smoke 6 smoke all hard wired...

I have had multiples of Chorus I and II and Cornwall I and II here. Big plus for Cornwalls to me is the lack of a passive which means I can put them anywhere. Of the four the one I like the best is the Chorus I. Does not care where you place it since it is front ported and has better definition especially on bass where the Cornwall may go a bit deeper but sounds boxy to me. In all fairness I have never braced the motorboard inside the Cornwalls I have had to see if that would change my opinion of them. As they are stock from Klipsch my pick is the Chorus I.

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

Note to self: request crazy veneer on next order.

Thank you so much! Witness here fellow forum denizens, a post without a picture or video...

Found this picture if you are wanting to gauge them on similar wall.

thanks just used it in my dating profile

It was at a Rogers Stereo show at Cobo hall in Detroit 1976 or so. I also met Gene Czerwinski of Czerwin Vega fame, he had the most powerful sound at the show. He even had a subwoofer plugged directly into an AC outlet, which scared a few people, including me. Irving Fried of Fried Loudspeakers, Bob Moers, then Klipsch President (at their dealer, where he showed me photos of the MCM Prototype), Mr. Snell of Snell loudspeakers, and a host of other "characters" at that time. Historical time, luck, circumstance, and perseverance were all at play. Although I did make a special trip to Hope in 1985 for a plant tour by Woody Jackson. After a brief meeting, PWK himself spent the entire day from 10-7 with my wife and I. THAT was the greatest audio day of my life!!!

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

Thank You so much Delicious2 , ...for the kind words ! Both of my main MUSIC systems (Theater Surround + the JUBILEE Rooms) are 18ft x 15ft rooms. But, the Jubilee Room has 11 foot ceilings with 6 Clouds (10ft x 18"...4" thick) , ...filled with Rockwool 'SAFE 'n SOUND' Acoustical Soundproofing Insulation. https://www.rockwool.com/products/safensound/ The CLOUDS are pictured above, in my downstairs RF7-iii Surround System, before they were wrapped with FLEECE Fabric. Again, The Jube room upstairs is the exact size and directly above this pictured downstairs living room ! The 6 CLOUDs are hung upstairs by hooks and chain ! The 11ft ceiling is angled, as seen in this OLD foto of the room, pictured below ! The reflective Couch and Metal table were the first thing I removed from the room ! All ' 5 milliseconds ' reflective surfaces, were addressed and label'd as ' PRIORITY ' in getting this room acoustically treated ! The acoustic Stage Curtains were purchased from the ROSE BRAND ( www.RoseBrand.com ), a professional Theater supply company in the New York City area ! After I removed that long reflective couch, I acquired a LOW SHOULDER Fabric 'CLUB' seat for my listening position. (pictured below) My Danley TH-50 SUB Woofer cabinet is barely seen in the right side of the picture above. ...a massive 24” Tall x 34” Wide x 25.5” Deep flawless speaker, true down to 21hz. https://www.danleysoundlabs.com/products/subwoofers/tapped-horns/th50/ Since that pic was taken, it has been moved directly behind my listening seat, within inches of the back of that new fabric Club Seat ! Also, i must mention that moving the seating position off the Back of the Wall , was a game changer sonic'ly. *A serious recommendation to anyone sitting directly next to a WALL : Move your listening position at least 4-5 feet off the Wall, if your closest wall is acoustically treated ! Or, move at least 6 feet off the wall, ... if it is NOT acoustically treated ! (The golden '5 millisecond Reflection rule' is around the 6 feet mark, ...which I truly now believe) Our brotha ChrisA, can verify for us, if I am not close to that estimation. Trust me, THAT made a HUGE difference in the systems fidelity. -Tightening everything ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My room's SIDE 15ft walls, are my 'SHORT WALLS' ! I built 4 Curved-Diffussors, for the 1st and 2nd order side-wall reflection points ! They cost me about $10 each, to make . (If anyone is curious how to build those, just ask) Below are some pics of the side walls ! So to conclude, ...this is my 2-Channel listening Jube L/C/R system, for 2018 . All equipment used in of all my Klipsch systems are listed below, in my signature ! For 2019 , I want to expand to 5.1 Audio. In 2020, I will add a 125" screen + Projector ! Thanx for lookin' , Any questions ...? HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ~ Craig LeMay 281.469.1111 Born2Rock@Comcast.net

Shouldn't that be snug?

The background, or underground rumble on that recording caused the original recording to distort. Then when it is played back, the sub-sonic rumble forces the woofers to overwork, even if you can not hear it, causing intermodulation distortion which compounds the problem by creating another abnormal level of distortion. This may be worse than the above described condition, which I presume would be a clean recording.

The MKII sounds good, but the 64 step relay version is much better. sorry OT.

Thank you and after some additional research I've decided that putting it a cabinet is not a good idea.

I agree with you 100% there. The digital interface makes life much easier. Well designed product, priced well and sounds fantastic. Sounded ALMOST as good as the bryston 10b crossover I had prior (this is a good thing in my book, no real sonic signature of its own).

Hey I am going to remain silent for awhile. Maybe the OP will magically return! 😆(for those conspiracy theorists on this thread)

That wouldn't help. The biggest issue setting up a sub or subs in a room is the actual interaction of them with the room itself. Rooms have peaks and nulls. If you sit in a null (cancellation spot) nothing you do will help. Bass traps help to a point but measuring YOUR room is the only thing that will get you where you want to be. Nothing wrong with dual subs in a small room. Good bass is more about set up and calibration more so than any of your other speakers.

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 😎  

I really agree, no booming mud but clean bass with every note well defined. Once the gain was close I was playing some Dream Theater and when a song started the bass startled me. I have made it to the proper levels now after beating my eardrums for a couple of hours for fun. Grand Funk Railroad sounds especially nice. Its a relearning thing due to the old direct radiator subs that I turned up too high trying to find the correct tone that was never there. I still have my smile going and thankfully high WAF, she did help me bring it into the house. She’s a keeper.

At least we won't have to see any more of Zekes feed me crap any more. Glad they're out.
