A new pair from MetropolisLakeOutfitters! I started with "Caballo Diablo" and finished "Fire On The Mountain" and now I'm up to "The Allman Brothers Band" and "Dreams". D C A D C A D C A ....... pickin' and grinnin' in 3/4 time! Yummy. I think the woofer is waking up!

So i first listened to a set in 1987. It was at the now defunct Tweeter etc in Ma. I loved the way they sounded but I could only afford Heresy's at the time. I did love the Heresy's! Unfortunately, they were stolen. I have looked over the years at K-horns on line but finally bit the bullet and bought a set from 1968. Although, they are as old as I am they look and sound better lol

I was worried about this same effect on my garden hose, so I cut off both ends of the hose and switched them... WHEW, that as close.

Thank you, I have the tools and gusto to have a go at flush mounting the horn but not necessarily the skill!! 😂 The build is coming along quite well, I should have the bass boxes done this week ready for sanding and staining, then I’ll move on to the high frequency cabinets. I decided I prefer the look of the split cabinet so went down that route, its a bit more work and a bit more wood but I may as well do it the way I want it. There have been a couple of oops moments, mainly due to the poor setup / misalignment of my new table saw but nothing that couldn’t be corrected..... or lived with!

Got this one the other night.

I'm gonna have to eat some of my words. After about 4 hours of Dubstep, 4 hours of blues rock and over night on an FM radio station, these new H IVs have more bass output. This afternoon they sound like the ones we heard in Hope, very clean, detailed and occasionally dark, maybe even a little bassy. Much cleaner/clearer than the H Is that were in the same spot for 2+ years. These are not my father's Heresies. As you'd expect the low bass is weak and I like the subwoofer turned on. Still, I think they could be quite satisfying without a subwoofer if they were put nearer to a corner. My instrument room doesn't allow that easily. I can't remember ever listening to the H Is without the sub, or wanting to. They actually throw a believable spatial image, too. My H Is never did.

I just realized I inadvertently changed the scale of the Spectrogram between screenshots, so I will upload a change shortly to make them match. This is the final product without the top 'bow tie'.

Yes Pretty much N=Nina G=Genovese Mom's maiden name 8264723=my phone number growing up...……...

Apparently I got busy and forgot I was logged in last night. Got some credit at the lp store for a few. Played this twice last night it's ok, but not the same to me as other work I've heard by this duo.

Your setup really sound great, but I'm biased. But it still sounds great!

This just won't die. How does polarity matter in A.C.? Without a chassis ground in a crossover network, why would it matter? Do you live across the river from XERF?

Thanks RPLACE for the impeccable packaging. Dropped off horn lens' at the powder coating factory. Will send you pictures after picking them up. THANKS AGAIN!

If you are gluing raw lumber, in my experience, all you need is something like Titebond II Premium wood glue. I have tried to break apart things I simply glued and brad nailed together. The lumber splinters and breaks, but the joint stays. I know many of us, including myself, tend to over engineer things. You can use what you already got, just be very careful. Not a big deal.

Spending a lil time today just nosin a bit after some running around. Some may have heard of Mike Portnoy. Neil Peart's buddy who Peart first met when he was like 15 and became very good friends with over time. Mike spent like 10 years w/the group Dream Theater and other groups since. If you've never heard of him let me introduce you to him. He CAN hold his own! Enjoy "Train of Thought" was Dream Theater's 7th studio album released in 2003. Portnoy said it was written in response to a heavier and even darker audience of heavy metal fans taking only 3 weeks to write. Trust me it IS that!

Tossed these on Sunday evening. Janis Ian, folk rocker who admired Joan Baez released this in 1967. Different sound then but she had a nice lil following "Listen Like Thieves" is a 1985 release by that Aussie group INXS. Their fifth album spent two weeks at #1 down under then migrated to the US. Considered their breakthrough album here in the US peaking at #11. Billy Idol released "Vital Idol" in 1980 comprised of many of his hits to that date.

No kraut , onions and there are a couple of decent Phillies here in Charleston . That Phillie is from Tony Luke's in Philadelphia . BTW I don't recommend a 700 mile road trip on I95 in an Subaru STi , the expansion joints are murder in a stiffly sprung car . JaBamm JaBamm JaBamm repeat

RIP John, he died Thursday at the age of 56, from colon cancer. He was one of my favorite racers ever, and was the nicest Andretti. We grew up in the same town, same age, competing high schools. He was an exceptional racer, won races in different types of cars that nobody has ever accomplished, probably never will (IndyCar, Nascar, Rolex 24 at Daytona, Top Fuel dragster, sports car) He raised millions of dollars for local Riley Children's Hospital, with a charity go kart race. Dozens of top racers would show up....Tony Stewart, Ricky Rudd, 10-12 IndyCar racers, Dario Franchitti, Mark Dismore (owns the track) Vitor Meira (track lap record holder) Sarah Fisher, Josef Newgarden (won this race when he was 16) Scott Dixon and Dan Weldon (in their matching Target race suits) local celebrities. I raced in one of these events, even alongside John, but not for long, he passed me and was gone! He was just a good guy, always approachable, never rude, always smiling. A Riley spokesperson said today that John would just show up all the time, just to talk to the kids and their families. He didn't care if there weren't cameras around, that wasn't why he was there.

@wvu80 Don't know if our posts look alike or not haven't read yours. Just read mine and posted it. Here's my take on all of this and something that has been eating at me for a year and I think Neil can relate to my thoughts. Jim Lachey's son elected to go to MSU, which is fine. It's his choice and w/his parents involved I'm sure they agreed. Here's the hooker. His dad was a former Buckeye, Washington Redskin w/countless Pro-Bowls and does color coverage every Saturday on the radio at OSU. OSU wanted him to play but for whatever reason he went to MSU. Possibly not getting a chance for playing time @ OSU or the academic angle. I didn't know. He did what he did. Back in Nov. I mentioned to Neil I heard Coach Dantonio was stepping down and the replacement was going to be Luke Fickell who left OSU to become the replacement. Luke recruited Lachey's son to go to Cinn yet he went to MSU. Soooooo who knows what's gonna shake out. Whoa! Now this??? JUST saw it!!! https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/sports/college/michigan-state/spartans/2020/02/04/luke-fickell-michigan-state-football/4658067002/

I think we're all cramming as many threads as possible into our heads and trying to digest in time for April's sessions.

JohnA: Thanks. Yes, I understand that getting into McIntosh is not cheap. I think it can be done for close to my budget. I have seen pretty decent prices on used MAC gear from time to time and if I pair a MAC pre with a different amp, I can meet my budget. I have also seen used Yamaha A-S2100s, on occasion, for under 2K, which I am also considering.

Not a bad price for 3 RF7's. https://www.avsforum.com/forum/209-audio-gear/3120368-fs-3-klipsch-rf-7s-classic.html

Nice looking table. My problem is when I see something like this going on ebay and don't really need it I NEVER get back there to see what it actually did sell for. lolol Always some cool things on ebay it seems.

glens: Will do, but I was really hoping for more recommendations and discussion from the forum members here. *** Unless I get some traction with this thread, I will keep looking for a C45 or C220 and I'll probably get an ATI AT602 or maybe a AT1505 to start. The ATI will probably get replaced at some point. A rebuilt MC275 or 225 would be nice, but they're too expensive, hence my interest in the MC250. I think a tube pre and a SS amp might work well with my Heresy IIIs. Anyone have any recommendations on relative low-powered amps - either tube or SS?

Welcome Congratulations on the acquisition of your KHorn ! Have a pic ? 😉

I just blew up the pic of the label, and my eyes--they no so good I they are RB-3's. Thanks for the reply anyway, and sorry for the post!

@tigerwoodKhorns, posting the pics here for everyone's benefit. I did the best with after-sundown lighting. Hopefully this gives the detail you're wanting, otherwise I'll have to wait until I have daylight in great quantities. Top, wide. That tape adhesive from the previous owner should be removable. Top, detail shots. Bottom, wide. Bottom, detail shots. Front, details shots.

I have a QSC 3402 that has been sitting idle for a while but I do plan to use it for a upcoming sub project. I paid $700 used back in 2005 and that was a steal. If I remember correctly Deang really liked this amp, said it sounded very natural. I used mine for a long time when I didn't want to use my tube amps, not saying it sound like tubes, but a very good amp. Someone needs to jump on this. Mine hasn't let me down. Great price! GLWS

Sold to yamahaSHO!

War is peace Freedom is slavery Ignorance is strength

Wines at cost or less from work . Items like the '97 Silver Fox cab and '98 Kistler chard are too risky to sell to customers . $117.00 altogether , not too bad of a haul .

I had to completely disassemble the cabinets and redo the front and back panels on the pair I had as the glue wasn't done very well. Same thing with the CF-3's I had but just the back panel.

That hole line of speakers had a bad habit of the joints coming apart. I’ve had a few sets over the years. First thing you should do with them is pull all the drivers so you can get your hand inside, then pore a lot of wood glue inside all the joints. And then use clamps to hold it together until it drys. Then flip it over and do another side until your all done. Some people have even added more braces inside from the rear to the motor board ( the front side ). Also the ports were installed with glue and they come lose, so I would use wood nails for them Great speakers and worth a weekend of work, just general loving care to a great hard hitting speakers.

Great speakers! Hmm, wonder what the rattle is. There isn't much to actually rattle in the horn itself. Is the front baffle loose? Good luck with your sale!

Well it is a great Friday the 31st at 6pm est now @mr clean glad it's going good for you, I can and do get down sometimes (no wisenheimers now!) and just have to shake it off!

Of course I did, it moves pretty slow when the blades aren't moving but it still lights up good They're calling for more flurries tonight has not quit raining all day afterwards, man we've got to be the new Seattle of the east.

Could this be configured to be used for a headphone amp?

Nothing I can do. It's above my paygrade but @Chad should be able to help next time he's on the forum.

He needs to just go back to where he came from or at lest stay in Ca with all the other crazy people are at Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Luther has gone through all the gears, he is now in overdrive. Plus a screen the drops from the ceiling, if he still has it. Glad you have pictures of it all, VERY nice and it also looks great, as always. .

Klipsch would be smart if they used stacks of mwm's with horns on top or a few pair of jubes on stage to initiate the inexperienced! Those folks have the coin to pick those up on a whim!

Wake up lost in an empty town Wondering why no one else is around Look up to see a giant boy You’ve just become his brand new toy No escape, no place to hide Here where Time and Space collide You have entered the Twilight Zone Beyond this world strange things are known Use the key, unlock the door See what your fate might have in store Come explore your dreams’ creation Enter this world of imagination

Could you imagine trying this sport! Popular in the 20s and 30s, motorcycle chariot racing was kinda dangerous.
