she and I agree.

Ketchup lovers of America...

Just in case anyone is confused by the chit chat, the Jubilees are still available and waiting for a good home. This was in spite of a serious desire and gallant effort by Westcoastdrums to make the deal happen.

Dangish: Lol

Do you have a photo of the "passive pre amp?" At least, name and brand? A lot of pondering going on, since I just bought another house today.....................and Yes, I have the money and the transportation.

Those old Chevy II Nova's are heavy, glad he got to show how they can fly! Howard Stern's brothers can do a real good Steely Dan cover, and @Dave1291 is doing heavy hair band tunes.. Schenker bros can ROCK🤘

Mornin' all Been a little busy. Rounding up a few days of fuelwood. Predictions for 70` as a high means a fire in the AM. Just a bucket full of twigs will take the edge off until the sun takes over. Wife's secretary had a procedure done to her back and isn't much able atm. I've been trying to cook and coordinate with the others... so that she has a continuous supply of fresh eats. She's supposed to be flat back 20hrs a day... for 2 weeks ... Yeah right. You don't know this woman. still trying to get to town and Yuma. I might end up doing both in the same run....When I do get to Tucson, I am bringing an amp/receiver back. This is a very bust time of year, for me and I may not get time until Nov... maybe later. I find going to town a chore and don't really enjoy the traffic and all. Not any more.

Gloved one:

Not shabby! Maybe have 3:

Check lots 34 through 43 from this same auction.

I was on a search and rescue case back in the 70s ... on Lake Michigan near Green Bay. It was like 30 below with windchill. the corpsman issued us an allocation of brandy because it was so cold. Granted, it was less than a shot; but we were able to find those that didn't want theirs and ended up having the equivalent of a few shots that day. Didn't make up for the time that the ship announced that, since we had performed so great, there was going to be "happy hour." turns out, happy hour meant that they were opening up the soda machine and it was free sodas for an hour. So what, we all drank Mountain Dew because you could reach your hand up into the machine and pull out mountain dews. P.S. I've only had Mountain Dew once since then ... came home and one night made the tragic decision to mix Mountain Dew and whisky ... I instantly regretted that decision and blamed it on the Mountain Dew not the whisky.

Still like grouper broiled... Yes Dave...Steely Dan... cool

Friend of a friend sent me this today. Not too shabby at all!

I like Pompano...fried.

thanks for the matchmaking attempt guys; but I married a blonde once upon a time. brunettes are the way to go!

waste not want not !

Claude just pony up the $$$ and gas up the Trailblazer and hit the road - you know you want them and its a great deal.

Someone was kind enough to post the dimensions of the "three modules". If you are trying to get an idea of how far do they stick out into the room. If they are snug into the corner, the face of the grille is about 33 inches from the room's corner. If they are snug to a single wall, then the face of the grille is about 28 inches from the wall. Roughly, think of a Klipschorn (approximately). If it is helpful, the two photos I showed are in rooms of either 11 ft width or 12 ft width. Since the K-402 is good at controlling the dispersion, it is actually the case that a big horn can do better in a small room since the off-axis dispersion is better controlled (helping attenuate the first reflections from the adjacent walls) The effect is actually fairly pronounced. Although not done simultaneously, I have listened and enjoyed both Klipschorns and Jubilees set up up in the living room (the room withe the red drapes). Subjectively (and consistent with what one would glean from Roy's measures of the K-402), any early reflections from the Jubilee did not sound problematic. I became a believer. C'mon and drink the Kool Aid ....

The sun came out! First I've seen it since Sunday. Geeze this morning was the worst too. Roads were flooded again when we went to the Publix at 7. Took a while to go five miles. I was making slaw for my barbeque, finally did go out and fetch some more rock from the mailbox. Now I'm full and got to go clean up the kitchen... but I've got a smile on my face. Woke up at 3am today first coffee at 4, dang that's messed up. I'll have some more tea and try to get back on track.

Yet the most simple statements such as that with blinding truth just seem to make others want to jump out of a window. I didnt hear dumb and stupid or any name calling, just stated facts.

And dumb people that post stupid shit like that, simply to get some kind of reaction? Or to have the thread removed, or to be banned? Jeff, get a clue.

reminds me of something that I heard once ... there are no dumb questions, just dumb people that ask questions.

Having bought a pair of Cornwall II’s from Preston Tom, I can confirm he is a man of his word and very easy to deal with. GLWTS, Tom.

Every once in a while: R.I.P. Ronnie...

Beauty of this hobby is that one can choose whether you want to be a purist and stay away from anything changing the signal like Shakey mentioned, Or have fun and listen to the music how you want even if it changes it. I am a believer in a pure signal and have not used tone controls for some time. But I do understand and appreciate those who want that control. One of the reasons I went with the Cornwall’s is the emotion they give me. That was coming from very accurate speakers AND after auditioning $8k Monitor Audio towers. I just preferred the sound. Maybe they aren’t SUPER accurate to the source sound (low end) but they are fun and that’s what counts for me.

As I've said before, the KG series has been the gateway Klipsch drug for many of us.

Go Hawks!! Will be a tough slugfest. Iowa is woefully underranked, it's a shame My dad has been getting season tickets for... yikes 50 years I bet? I try to go to one game a year, I could have picked Penn State for some reason I choose Colorado. Kinnick is going to be electric!

Oh we are amused so, easily sometimes

Judging from what I've been told by others and what I find online. Provided the cabinet is still sealed, it's fully functional, and you can accept/repair cosmetics. Yes. Yes it is.

In the photo, the Lascalas are angled in similarly to how my Lascalas are angled in my home. I have made the experience that the Lascala reacts very sensitively to a few degrees of angulation. Too little and it has no spatiality. But too much and it loses stage width. The best case is when I have a wide stage, 3 dimensionality and a defined center. I achieve that with a similar angle as in the photo...so not too much...maybe a very tiny bit more, depending on the listening distance. Just looking at the front of my two Lascalas it's too much angulation for my taste, I see enough of the inside walls. It's worth finetuning within a smaller angle range. It may be that in the photo both Lascalas are angled evenly. The photo was not taken exactly from the center and camera lenses of an iPhone, for example, can produce such illusions. But I agree, the secret of a three-dimensional sound experience is an exactly equal angulation of both LS.

Well, I'm not an Expert. I run all my amps through my Marantz AVR. It has a Built in EQ and I'm Not Shy about using it. I just remember some guy on here giving everyone hell about Linear Amps and it doesn't make any difference what you buy as long as it's Linear. It was Pretty Funny.

It's fun until it's a business.

I have the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound in a warehouse collecting dust...

I am a bit of a cynic, but I have heard so many stories about sound systems for sale that were used by the Grateful Dead. Perhaps some of them are true ......

In case you're bored with life open that extra window and kick back!

Vacation theme song with my girls every year in Bonita Springs, Florida. Girls loved cruisin singing that song! The ex? Not so much! 😂 😎 One great find since I've been reduced to cd's... Ugh!

Here's my wife in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in front of the Petronas Twin Towers...

How are the fall colors up there next week? I'm was the first Digital Photographer in Michigan for a reason, like I was the first to own a CD player when Sony beat Philips to the market with a full 16-bit D/A converter. It would all have to fit on the back of my 2007 Trailblazer with the rear sets folded down, as I don't want to haul the trailer that far. I'd have to go through Cleveland, ohio instead of through Ontario, Canada. Time to get out the tape measure and calcultor to put a check in another box. So far, so good...................

yet again......

That's some BIG System you've got

Quiz of the Day , what did she put on her hair ?

Pie slice Klipsch logo is correct for 1975...also for 1976 speaker production...basically from 76 backwards the pie slice logo is correct, except for early 1960's and before. Also there were times when the "engraved-plexiglass" model name logos were at the bottom of a speaker and the pie-slice log was the upper corner of the speaker, but it was just for a very short time. The pie-slice logo was replaced in around October time-frame of 1977...with the metallic so-called "laser" badging. There was a reason this was done, (the pie-slice PWK log, along with his "PWK" initials rendering...both trade-marks were owned by PWK, himself, NOT by the company!). And there is ALSO a reason why the boxed "PWK" with "Klipsch" logo replaced the so-called "laser logo"....which did not have "PWK" on it. The reasons are who had "controlling stock" of the company...during these time frames.

While thicker, stiffer cabinets are certainly better (the large 3/4" side panels vibrate freely at the mouth), the rising bass response 6 to 7 db centered around 120 hz is not really a resonance but a feature / glitch of the woofer horn dimensions that can really only be dealt with by corrective equalization. Some may like this defining characteristic of the LaScala sound. Congratulations on finally acquiring a great speaker system and nice work on restoring.

I currently use a vintage Technics receiver as a preamp, and I LOVE the tone controls: Bass, Mid, Treble, plus 6 db Low and High Boost Switches. Extremely flexible and very easy to quickly adjust. Loudness seldom used though, maybe if listening at very low level.

Hope Micromara will chime in soon, for now a snippet from a PM: serving a lot of hifi friends in germany, approx. 200 sets a year , power cords, loudspeaker wires and rca cables ...it´s a part of my hobby

OP, you just answered your own question. See bold/underlined. It's not broken, don't fix it.
