Hey all, I received these klipsch lascala cabinets for free. Unfortunately they didn't come with speakers installed and it's not worth it for me to store them and fix them up. If you're anywhere around Central Florida you're welcome to pick them up. Otherwise I'll have to toss them to make space in the garage.

How DO you survive all of that excitement??? I'm having trouble wondering when I'm going to find time to fuel up and save 60 cents a gallon using my Kroger fuel points. 2 days left so I better suit up and git er done. Right after I dive on some chicken & noodles I cranked out yesterday.

Similar idea

Yesterday I pulled up all the 3 year old carpet and pad in the media room. Quite the task for a 71 y/o. The oak strip flooring goes in Saturday and two coats of finish by the end of the day Sunday. The oak is here acclimating to the house temp/humidity. Next will be a new equipment cabinet. I'm liking the Salamander cabinets and plan on hiding most of the gear like folks did in the 80's. Then an area rug.....put LF in charge of that project. Then some wall sconces and maybe some Zero Degree chairs that Chris A. turned me onto. Maybe some new gear too....... Washed the bubble this morning even though there was frost on the roof of the house. Bubble is going in for new spark plugs today. $215 for six plugs installed. When I was a teenager (when dinosaurs roamed the Earth) plugs were about $1.50 each. I did kick it with a Porsche Boxster yesterday morning and pulled away from his silly butt😊 So now you're all up to date..........

I lean toward the latter. This whole place was built of reclaimed materials. Most all of the surprises I have found were not happy ones. Finding redwood under the 3/16in panelling has been the only pleasant surprise.

Mornin' all I tend to think this "leak" is deliberate. Didn't do any digging yesterday. How much water is going into the line? About as much as a 1/2in line will give. Why it was done? I dunno. I do know that with the place continuously occupied, the tank will fill in cold/wet times. Gathering wood may have gotten easy. The wildlife refuge is clearing off dead wood as a fire reduction measure AND they are giving away. All I have to do is go get it. I plan on getting what I can... green or not, as long as it's not rotten/pithy. If I can't burn it this season, it will be ready after a summer of "seasoning". I may need to split some. The stove will take 10 - 12 inch diameter. Bought some tickets to a hospital "mega raffle". Better than 1:20 chance of winning a $100 prize. Grand prize is $625,000. I bought 3 tickets to the raffle and 15] 50/50 tickets ... so, I have a 1 in 7 chance of getting 1/3 of my money back... lol My luck, we will win a trip to Mexico. Where these things are concerned, I am usually a donor. I'm not holding my breath for a big win.

Here is a pic of 20's I did. Stripped the OEM Black and refinished with Satin Black Lacquer and Clear Satin Lacquer. Turned out nice using the method described above.

CF-3's refurbed back to OEM Medium Oak.

It's been nearly 8 yrs since I have posted on this forum. I have an old pair of black satin KLF 30's. I can't tell whether it is a vinyl finish, a very thin painted wood veneer or something else. I was hoping for a light walnut color and am not sure what my options are with these. Thanks in advance. Norm

We are peas in a pod. If I can't get an end parking space and pull way over then I don't park.

And I thought I was bad @ 770 miles a month average. You're @ 300 or < a month. Must be your sunny day only touring car. My Camaro is my only vehicle, I hand wash it, and wax it annually. It doesn't have a single door dent on it. I don't mind walking and if I cannot park away from others, I don't attend/park. Kills me how people drive around looking for the closest parking spot to the door, then go to a gym to work out or walk/jog for exercise. People and their peculiar behaviors.

The "Bubble" is a 2012 BMW Z4 35is. 335hp and only 27,000 miles. Ceramic coated 1000 miles ago. Nary a scratch on it. The mechanic was gone a long time "test" driving it😑 I do a "touchless" wash that goes......wet down, foam cannon, rinse, dry with leaf blower. No touch means no swirl marks.

Alright so you've got more testo.... in ya today than me! Mine's got a six... well when it goes over 4K rpms the right bank of the V opens up and it's six. Otherwise it's like a vw with 3 cylinders. Cars are just too darn delicate now days, I baby them or is that back to the coreg zapping my... uhum energy. Keep that hot rod clean & keep rockin' HWY 74 does have some long flat straight stretches of road west of New Hanover Co. this song ain't for daises, careful now!

Thanks all for reaching out. I've got a few people in line that want them. If someone bails I'll go in the order received. I didn't know these would be so sought-after. They've just been sitting in my mom's garage for 3 years. I'm a young audio guy, and more in the home recording studio / small club & house of worship live sound world. So forgive me for my ignorance on these lol.

Sorry I missed the talk about septic yesterday. I was outside building a wall. So you have a half inch water pipe that is ALWAYS on going into your septic tank. And no trap between the line and tank? WTF? How much is your water bill? How big is your leach field? This makes no sense to me.

HDMI is digital, RCA is analog. You need something to convert it with like a DAC.

Load up on the aspirin now to avoid the rush later. lol FREE is ALWAYS good. Especially if you have free wood you can burn. PITA loading it up but at least the FREE makes it a bit lighter or does it? lol Better you than me! Jeans today?

y'all might wanna mark this date on your calendar I have an "on topic" post Got HDMI to RCA cables. No audio out...The computer is outsmarting me. Trying to follow direction and "open a terminal"... No go So, put the headphone to RCA back. Test run.... my intermittent is back. Lasted long enough to find the source. Swapped channel [L/R] wires and it followed. Popped the plugged in/out at the headphone jack... problem solved. mechanical connection. I hate intermittents Hey Dave. my excitement is fetching some free firewood. I'll pay for it tomorrow .... when I try to get out of bed. That's if it waits that long

So what is a "bubble"? 6 cyl no doubt. Was that a hand wash in the cold? $215 is mostly prob 65% labor. My 2012 camaro plugs are good for 96k miles, still in there - platinum tips, like $7 each @ amazon. I'll be replacing em myself when its time (very easy to access, hemi head, dohc). Fixing to do the auto tranny fluid and filter in a couple weeks myself. 67k mileage.

That should be a sticky and with the terms and conditions for the newbies when they sign up.

At Pilgrimage, Luther ward won them and turned around and put them up for auction with the money going to the museum. Carl May outbid everyone to own them.

Duratex is not to bad... I bought a quart for my Dayton Audio flat pack that I used with the Ultimax UM 18-22. Here is a link. https://www.parts-express.com/acry-tech-duratex-black-1-quart-roller-grade-cabinet-texture-coating-kit-with-textured-3-r--260-111

Terrible paint job before I refurbed them on left.

Hi Normo, The KLF line are wood veneer. The paint is Black Lacquer. I have refurbed several pair of 20's but the line is all the same. The paint is easily removed using Lacquer thinner applied with 00 steel wool. Lightly sand with 120 / 220 grit. Stain whatever color you want. Feel free to PM me if you need advice.

Here is picture of them just after being built before shipping from the factory. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I could see why some people would want just a placard signed but I wanted the speakers signed just like a guitar would be signed by the artists and it was the first “museum “ speakers. The signatures are a part of the finish from when there were built. The people who build these are artists in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, and yes. You can simply enclose the backs of the Khorns with plywood instead of trying to shoehorn in full false corners: http://www.klipschupgrades.com/flkhorn.shtml Instead of putting your money on electronics to try to better what you've already got, I'd personally modify the Khorns themselves to directly deal with the issues of using them in such a small space. I don't believe that you're going to get much from putting more money into amplifiers, preamps, sources, or other "audiophile" electronics, etc. The sound that you're getting now is overwhelmingly dominated by the present acoustic design of the Khorns themselves--which isn't kind to small, low ceiling room use. This modification would allow you to set aside the Khorn top hats entirely and store them for future reassembly into their current state in order to maximize their potential Khorn sale to market value of what they're worth now. The deal with this approach is that you need to measure the resulting acoustic performance of them ($100 for the calibrated microphone, the measurement software is free, and you need a laptop or desktop computer to run the software) after replacing the midrange horn/driver and tweeter. The cost will be significantly lower than the budget that you state above. In general I'd strongly recommend a DSP crossover ($205) with another stereo amplifier (bi-amping--using virtually any reasonable quality amplifier that you already own), and perhaps something like a K-510 with 2" compression driver, or one or two ESS Air Motion Transformers on top of each Khorn. Either modification would address the present midrange floor and ceiling bounce, as well as the inherent time misalignments of the stock Khorn. Also, in the case of the dual AMT-1s on top, this modification will give you a significantly added sense of depth of soundstage. The trade is that you need to put in a weekend or two of time to dial in using a DSP crossover. The result of all this is flat frequency and phase response and time aligned drivers. A single ESS AMT-1 on top of a Khorn clone bass bin with an acoustic absorption pad on front to reduce nearfield re-radiation of acoustic energy: Chris

Those speakers are beautiful. I regret ever selling mine. They love to be pushed at high volume with clarity.

I couldn't figure out if he was saying "Walk this way" or "F---this place". JJK

The F-20 is by far the easiest build.

yes, for zero grain.

Get your tickets now. Early Bird Discounts expire Sunday February 2nd. See you there.

Thanks for the information. Keep me posted on your CF-3 refurb. Feel free to contact me if needed. Take care.

} You’re obviously taking early advantage of Missouri’s new marijuana laws - pain for your knee, right -😏

Florida always has the best deals! Those are begging for some duratex and a k510 on top for a 2 way jubescala!

The way I look at it....even if I lost a little bit of sound quality, I more than made up for it in practicality and comfort. My home looks much more modern with one large room instead of two smaller ones, and being open into the kitchen makes it seem even bigger. I bought laminated flooring and installed it myself, I actually did all the work myself. My living room now is 28'x24'. I even built the wood mantle on top of a new cultured stone fireplace front.

Jerry Calhoun is the plant manager, Jim Hunter the museum curator, Mike Beasley & Terry are speaker builders, Roy = Chief Bonehead. I think the others are others who build or test ? Nice to hear from you, Thank you for bidding on those, the whole thing was funny. I didn't know they were signed, nice.

It would be a great story. The women, the sex, the booze, the drugs, the cars, the lies! Mostly the lies.

I watched the whole Grammy show last night and basically tried to identify who was really performing live and who was not. I hate fake performances. Lip syncing, etc. But for Aerosmith that was just sad. I haven't seen them live in a while and that simply sucked. I feel badly for Joey Kramer too. He surely has to come out better for not being there. My personal feeling is that Brad Whitford has always been a better guitar player than Joe Perry. The solo in LAST CHILD not Joe Perry. Brad. I have seen that live as well. Joe is a poser. Brad never made a big deal about it.

Go back to the garage But ditto on most comments here. Don't watch people giving themselves awards. "I'm so great"

Tyler and Perry are STILL fighting over who should be loudest on stage. If I were Kramer I would feel fortunate. That was the biggest waste of time all night.

I am an Aerosmith fan too. But like Grace Slick said when she stopped tours there is a time when you just need to leave with dignity and not try to keep your bygone youth. With all the money these people people have made if they have run through it too bad.

MiniDSP 2x4HD. Analog active crossovers are obsolete in 2020, IMHO.

Yes you can choose what to watch and find tons of old stuff from the days when TV and movies were decent and not whacko agenda driven George Orwellian inspired junk. It is the place for instructional videos for about every problem out there and nature specials. Plus you can simply tune out all the hollywood garbage and seek what you want. NO force feeding in the web like TV has become. I have found all the old cartoons we treasured as kids from the 20's to the 60's and music videos. Yeah the web is the place to be.

Yeah, I can see that. $150 at ikea, $1500 LA scala instead. POOR man indeed. First world problems....
