Great room Mike. Good luck with rehab. Thought of you this week in Denver as family and friends admired the airport structures. I told them I have a friend in St. Louis who is in that business, but that you didn’t make those.

Tonight. Clannad. Past Present. No more furniture to put together. At least till the morning. 😴

There is no sanity clause. Or, Brother, can you spare a toaster?

True story: Yesterday, I was having lunch at a pizzeria. Place where you walk to the "bar" on the left side of room and stand there while putting your order in, then you get your drink & sit down, waiting for them to call your name. Young, good looking kid at the cash register, asks what I want. I give him the order.... as he's finishing, he says "what's your name?" I said "Richard, but you can call me aszhole like my wife does!" Kid didn't know what to make of my sense of humor (or lack thereof) but saw I was smiling.... so he finished the process. Proceeds to hand me my empty drink cup, says "You can fill your drink over there and your pizza will be ready in about 20 minutes.......aszhole" It was pretty funny and we both got a good laugh out of that.

I also develop and manufacture power cables as well as speaker cables and jumpers in / for my friends. My RF 7 MK II is supplied with 12mm2 copper cross-section per phase at the bi-wire terminal ....

Ok, Ok, John! I give! Hahahaha Threw these on tonight just for a lil listen. At least I got my Nils fix in. So sad to see Clarence gone. He was soooo good. Lil Rush "Exit...Stage Left" from 1981. Their 2nd live LP. All The World's a Stage recorded live in Toronto in June of 1976.

Did I mention the time I talked with Bruce for a few minutes? Springsteen that is... he was in town for two sold out shows after the "Born in the USA" record came out. Nils was walking around the mall with big ol Clarence Clemmons! Saw them a few minutes before I noticed Bruce was the one that walked into the record bar at closing without Joe up front telling him to get lost! Note the sticker Dave

EVERY time I start this album something causes me to stop for a while. It's goin down NOW! Soooo darn good!

Yes when I messed up my photos stored at the site and got tired of editing them I started using that too Paul. Found it by rt clicking on posts made by folks that post a lot of pics, now I'm one of `em! I use the itty-bitty app on my desktop: https://postimages.org/app Last Friday... bummed me out. So I logged into discogs and snagged another Mastered at Abbey Road, DMM, 200g RUSH LP that I never had. A good friend had this one and I was over there all the time so I didn't need it. That Moving Pictures sounds so good, like a half speed that I found this: The pre-cursor to the precursor for 2112

Maybe a horn with measles? I think horns with mumps are patented or something..

Looking at getting a burr grinder and possibly replacing my Bunn with a Technivorm. Looking at a Baratza encore grinder. Any owners out there with an opinion?

I’d like to report back since I’ve had a few weeks to listen to the LS1’s now. I really like them. If I used one word to describe them it would be realistic. They are very clear and can play very loud. I love the bass. Sounds totally different than the Chorus. It seems a little cleaner and have yet to hear it get muddy. I would still have a very hard time picking between the two. Both are just great speakers.

Bad weather heading in later today and then down in to single digits over the weekend. I'm going to plant my happy *** on my stationary bike and crank tunes all weekend. (still rehabbing my store bought knee)

Hi, I'm Jim from Greece. I am interested on ordering 'Klipsch theater 5.1 pack' from ebay. In Europe we have 220V outlets, I know you have 120V. Will the speakers work normally here, or I must use a converter? Bests

Hi all! I just stumbled upon this forum whilst doing some research on Paul. I, and some other Arkansas students, are currently in pre-production of a Klipsch documentary – covering the man himself and his legacy. I myself unfortunately don't have Klipsch of my own, but after finding such a lively community here, I felt it would be great to introduce ourselves. We're definitely looking forward to the Pilgrimage in March. The dates work out really nicely for us. I'm also hoping to reach out to an Arkansas native that can help us with the opening scene, but that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to say what's up. Best, Corey

On Dec 10th 2019 I was medically terminated from Glad Mfg after 28 years of company service. 401k!! My dream of having a pair of Klipsch Heritage Speakers is right there! The Cornwall’s IV! Every one thinks I’m crazy even some of my all knowing music lover friends. People I share my dream with poo poo it so fast! I’m here seeking shelter from the dream killers!

Rehab going great. Just got back from a 2.5 mile hike. Cold weather held off for a day, into the single digits tomorrow so walk today, bike tomorrow. Should have done this years ago, but.....

Heck Yea! My original pressing still sounds ok, and ya know what? I always noticed it was heavier than a lot of the other records I had. Some of these re-releases are really primo.

Not really I'd call it self-imposed brainwashing, not with admonishment though. It is on the individual to make behavioral changes.

We got one here on the farm we'd sell you for slightly under $20K..... actually two of them! Might even sell BOTH for slighly less than $20K.... Just please agree to ignore the grass growing on the hood of the first and that the second truck will abruptly stall & die on you.....not when you are home but usually at the red-light in the middle of downtown during 5:00 traffic. It's almost got a mind of it's own.

Since you'd need to remove the woofers (sounds like you have already?) to dust them, I'm a fan of the idea of reinstalling with a 180-degree rotation since everything sags to some extent over time... assuming they've been stored in a normal, upright orientation.

Thanks for the reply mate

I hope for that too, cheers Randyh

I’m surprised that it’s such a well mastered LP The sound quality is to be praised - Just play it loud is my motto for this record 😎

You'll need a converter. Check with klipsch to see if they offer a version set up for European voltages.

That is their MO. Substitution

Playing now A special edition 180gram purple vinyl LP of a much loved classic album Every track is great Artist- Deep Purple Title - Machine Head

I'm still working on the sub.

Yep I searched for it and it looks like it earned the Rocky in the name!

This absolutely will. It even has fine enough adjustment to get your pours exactly 25 seconds.

Got this one the other night.

Hey @Pete H they had good reviews at amazon for that * baratza, but I'd already fallen in love with one made by Bodum. Two have lasted me almost twenty years now and both those twelve step places did one thing...... made me addicted to coffee!! That Bodum electric burr is getting towards a bill last time I looked but nothing else I've witnessed (& I used to have some friends in the high tax brackets) would grind as evenly and consistently even sized grounds as what I use! The newer one I have is more quiet than the first so as long as I can get good beans I'm Happy!

Well I received my St Germain "Tourist" cd today and promptly ripped it to flac. Cd cost me $3.76 delivered off ebay, can't beat that. Listening to St Germain on Spotify as I type now.

Hi Gents...I am from germany and an fanatic Klipsch Lover ....... Two days ago I had to delete all my pictures because the 150 MB folder had exhausted its capacity. For this reason the summary of the RF7 MK II SE modification thread has been summarized on pages 12 and 13. This report is based on a purely subjective description and can only be assessed by the author. There is no one who can confirm or confirm this as this project took place exclusively in my music room. Even from my acquaintance / circle of friends, nobody was there to officially confirm it and to be able to certify it accordingly. I bought the RF 7 MK II in March 2015, never before had a series loudspeaker so impressed me with its performance, so packed, so fascinated, that I cried 2 packs of handkerchiefs while listening in the demo room Seller was completely unsettled. He had never seen that before. I told him after an hour ... wrap up ... where can I pay. After the demo, I took a closer look at the beloved object of desire and found "it is the loudspeaker of my life" ...... will be with me until the last day of my life. Regardless of the emotional force with which the RF 7 MK II acoustically captured me and its "classic beauty" as a loudspeaker, I said to a friend who was with me, who also confirmed to me with the words "I have never heard anything like this in my life and felt ", .... imagine you go back to it when you have it for a few years and start to tune it .......... I said this for a good reason, because I had designed, designed and built speakers myself in the late 1990s with the absolute top chassis from Dynaudio at the time, 2 x WW 30 basses / active passive, D 54 mid-range dome and Esotec 260 tweeters Crossover was a 3 way base crossover from Dynaudio which I modified completely with Mundorf components together with another friend who was running a very successful DIY loudspeaker store in my Hometown at that time. We gave the project the name "Dynaudio Pentagon". At various demos in HiFi shops in surrounding cities, we played numerous dealers speechless with the Pentagon. You are the cool speaker was the general tenor after a demo. During this time I work for a leading manufacturer for sound / light / laser technology with a 1,200 m2 showroom in which we advised international customers about these professional technologies, developed, designed and distributed concepts for sound / light / laser technology systems and distributed them worldwide , I was export director in this company, looked after the international clientele and built up a dealer distribution network on 3 contenders. In our showroom there is an 18,000 watt, 5-way active system from JBL, which was gigantic in the purest intravenous form, both acoustically, as well as lighting and vice technology. By mid-2010, we had become one of the leading global outfitters for multimedia projects of this type. After that, the company was bought up and broken up. Based on this background knowledge in audio technology, it was clear to me from day one that I would not be able to avoid using my knowledge one day on the RF 7 MK II in order to really exploit its potential. So I started tinkering with her after half a year already, i.e. during the guarantee period, because I always knew ... she can do more than that ... I feel that ... I know that ... she can much much more ........ All the little things that I have done with the so-called mini-modifications do not play a major role. However, it became clear to me that she immediately reacted acoustically to each of these small interventions. So she is a highly sensitive lady .... a sleeping princess waiting to be kissed awake and then to mature into a queen. I decided that one day I would completely modify it, just didn't know when it should come. Sometime when the time is right ........ I also forgot all of this thought, also for time and professional reasons. In November last year awakened this forgotten project.............. I divided this project into 4 phases, in the end there were 6 .......... 1st phase> Optimization of the current flow within the loudspeaker by massive reduction of the contacts, incl. the installation from new internal wiring. 2nd phase> Acoustic optimization of the interior sound room 3rd phase> Mechanical optimization by rebuilding the stability and resulting housing-space decoupling 4th phase> Optical revision with new heavy spikes, the horn and the two Medium Bass woofers. 5th phase> Use of physical-chemical fluids influencing the flow of current on the chassis and the crossover, which were developed by NASA 6th phase> Reconstruction with external crossover from high-end components from different manufacturers, with 2 additional optional modify levels in the sound image Phases 1 to 5 have been completed and I kissed my princess awake .... breathed her new life. Never before has she played with the basic crossover so energetically from a single source at such a fabulous level. The radiance and beauty of music, its immense power and at the same time tenderness, its emotion and precision. She captures me and doesn't let me go, enchants and plays with my feelings as she likes. She breathes the stage into the room. as light-footed as a tap dance by Fred Astaire. It is soulful and smooth like the tender kiss of a beautiful woman. She whispers in my ear with a hint of a sunny, warm spring wind .............. I love her like never before. Thus, the potential analysis phase 1 to 5 is completed and can be rated subjectively as, that is the maximum. This potential analysis is also based only in combination with my electronic playback equipment. Phase 6 is in preparation, the necessary material for the external high end crossover is already available. Thre might be some grammatical faults within my Topic , please so kind an do not pay any attention to them .. 🙂 Pictures will come up soon ............ Regards MicroMara

Couldn't resist could you thebes?

This Peachtree amp may be a better idea. 500 wpc, massive damping factor, and they are @ special price right now: https://www.peachtreeaudio.com/amp500-power-amplifier.html Made in the USA too, just like Klipsch Heritage

Reverses the pull of gravity on the cone and suspension.

Interesting, but even better "I Know More than the Generals."

Glad you mentioned that, the one I talked about won't quite go fine enough to make expresso.

@Drugolf I've watched the rebuild thread on these over at AK. Your cabinet guy has done some really fine work with those. It might not be too late to make those a "collared top" like the Klipschorn "B" version if you like the "neck" between them. Not my pic but what it looks like.
