Most certainly. Those challengers were sent back to Muskegon with their pickups between their legs.

I loved those little pancake motors. Those things worked great.

Actually. I am into bass fishing that just happens to be in sales and marketing that just happens to be an engineer. 🤓

Awesome.

Don't leave us hanging.....how did you fare? Did you defend the local slot car honor?

Slot cars, those were the days. Like many, I started with the gateway drug of Aurora HO buzzers, before graduating to AMT 1/24 scale with functional steering. My fondest slot car memory is the evening there was a frantic knock on the door of our Spring Lake, MI home. My buddies had raced on their bikes the few blocks from the local slot car emporium, which was a large track that filled an old hardware store, to tell me that some guys from Muskegon had blown into town, with what they thought were fast cars. They urged me to grab my DIY Corvette with a Pittman motor in a DIY copper tubing chassis to show these out-of-towners what FAST really is. Oh . . . the pressure of being a slot-car-slinger.

And now for something completely different

Well, it's been well over 2 years since I've shared in this thread what my home theater looks like. It has certainly changed a lot. If a picture is worth a thousand words...well, hope you enjoy the video.

They always lie to me!!

Most excellent. One of my older brothers was into slot cars big time when we lived in Daytona. There were a couple of really big multi track facilities there then. This would have been in the mid to late 60's. He was all about modding his cars and controllers and I frequently saw him hand winding motors for specific applications. He had quite the collection of bodies, motors, controllers and parts. My favorite car was an open air car that had a big Rat Fink at the steering wheel with one hand on the wheel and the other reaching way up to a tall stick shifter.

Hole size is decreased in 2018 Lascala II. Not sure exactly what year they reduced the size. First of the Lascala IIs used the K-77F with standard size horn used by all earlier K-77M tweeters allowing the entire horn to extend through the motor board with z-brackets. Even after the change to the K-77D for some number of years the larger hole was maintained and earlier tweeters could be fitted to those holes using z-brackets. As of 2018 (and perhaps some years earlier), only the K-77D could fit in the holes and no way to use the earlier K-77F or K-77M tweeters. Attached is a picture of the K-77D installed in a 2018 Lascala II. Bob Crites K77D_in_2018_Lascala.pdf

If it weren't for global warming this cold snap would have been 30% worse.

Just how many speakers companies have survived for over 70 years?

Well back online with the pc today a mild oc to 4Ghz /45 degrees C with the stock cooler. Helps that the heat in the daytime here is set at 65F. Found out the pump in the water cooler went out before I tried to update the motherboard bios..... a perfect storm of bullya to destroy a pc. Fighting with the newest version of win10 `cause it doesn't like me to use apps that have been doing their thing for years that msft wants to get in on that action now. Now I can relax after the frustration of getting this box set up again. It was only 30 at noon here when we were headed home (Oct. weather in the 1970s here) and what better to pick up for lunch when I'm tired of cookin' & cleanin' when you're from NC??? This is it I tell ya! Barbeque (here it's pulled pork w/vinegar & red peppers) sandwich, slightly overcooked hush puppies today, fried okra, ONLY Luzianne tea here and real good banana pudding! On our finest dishes that were in the can hours ago.

Rat Fink had all the cool rides back in the day.

To paraphrase him... Klipsch does not have an engineering staff... Klipsch is 100% sales and marketing... Klipsch products are all made in factories in China... He has lost all credibility with me. I mean, what type of "industry expert" spews total misinformation like that? Burns me up a little.

Yep, bout 30 miles North of Louisville KY. That's just what I call it. For obvious, and not so obvious reasons...... It's up to 5 degrees.

And fire the governor who says you're soft not to send your kids into it.

Yeah; extremely cold here in Tampa Bay, FL. High will be about 62F ... may have to find a pair of socks Sorry; feel bad for you all up North ... stay inside!

They did mention a couple of states where USPS was partially closed, Wi, Mn

Tedeschi Trucks Band has FINALLY blossomed... Derek cut loose the other nite in Chicago and did it! "Dreams" by the Allman Brothers! ALWAYS his favorite by Duane growing up! Schitt's on now, so here we go! Enjoy!

thanks everyone for the kind words, glad to see this thread alive again- always like looking at setups, two channel and home theater. So many great ones here. Of course always enjoy your videos youthman. Hoping to get some better and a few more up to date pictures soon. keep them coming!

Yes to this and the big bonus of placing your speaker anywhere and it works right and is not corner dependent. 90 degree angle and then extend from there perhaps? How long does it need to be anyway? I guess I am missing something here. I see this term used but I can't say I have ever noticed anything like this with speakers I have had. I don't have a set of Chorus I's to play with but I know sometimes blocking a port can lower hz. I had a pair of EV tl440's and if you wanted the lowest hz you had to block one of the two ports. Playing with a program called BoxNotes last night which was indicating on the KPT-456's if I blocked two of the four ports the lowest hz would drop more than you might think. I would take front ported over a passive any day and if this is right is just another reason in favor of front ports. You can tune these front ports with length and or covering one or more ports. With passives even though you can put weights on a passive and tune it that way you still have to use a corner.

Some more attempts at panning blurs.

Just wanted to comment , it don't get much better than that.....

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your faceCaesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace

Back from short holiday in the Southern Hemisphere summer I have seen in the news that North America is in the grip on some nasty cold weather snap 🥶 I wish I could send some of our heat to you So Keep warm Just playing a record sent to me by @dirtmudd Led Zeppelin like Album released 1976 Artist - Heart Title - Dreamboat Annie  

Easy decision. The KLF-20 are twice the speaker that the 280FA are.

Very true, but two $3 port tube and 4 cents worth of electrical tape are closer to free than usual in this hobby. The key is, you will always wonder "what if" if you don't try. Heck, it's almost February, I could use a good $6.04 project.

Music is the reason I love these babies.

Watch out Gia.

How many have their own anechoic chambers let alone chambers with a rotatable door offering optional boundary effects testing of the loudspeaker as well?

Cornwall III, and don't look back or second guess yourself. Just got my Cornwall III SE in Rosewood. Besides the amazing sound, the look is Gorgeous.

Great room. Awesome front sound stage. I like the barber chair!

I personally know a couple of engineers at the Indianapolis facility. Maybe they're actually salesmen in disguise 😀

I'm in Burton,MI between Davison and Flint. I'll have to dig them out, but we can definitely get them hooked up.

A friend of mine just attended one of the most recent London Loft parties. Called it the best sound he had ever heard.

What he had, to say in the above example is BS, agreed. No engineering staff? Guess the Chinese are that good at guessing what speakers should look and sound like and spitting them out to the masses. The Heritage is clearly all show. That explains why klipsch has had and still has a cult like following. As far as PS Audio products? I bought a HIGHLY REGARDED set of monoblocks from the company, a current model, (m300 if I remember right?) and a Stellar DAC/PREAMP and I have to tell you, In my room with the legacy audio focus speakers I had, it was THE WORST combo I had ever used by far on the speakers. Everything sounded like an overly compressed MP3. I was shocked. I thought surely something must have been wrong with them, but no. I let them "break in" playing 24/7 for close to a month. No significant change. I won't buy anything from the company again. Oh, BTW, this was a $3k + combo, but Klipsch makes garbage I tell ya.

Cornwalls would be my vote.

Both of the units arrived yesterday along with the cables. Set one of them up in my living room with an older Yamaha receiver which is only used for TV and background music. Set up was flawless and Spotify premium automatically connected. I have no complaints so far.
