Messaged the seller of the 4.2s. Cheers 😁🍷

Go get them before they are "gone." Either ones would be perfect. The extra $200 for the 4.5's maybe worth it because they have titanium tweeters (new about $60/pr) ,new crossovers ($200?) and are "pristine." Opening a bottle of wine to celebrate Cheers! Add-on ... pretty sure this guy takes care of his equipment. Note there is a reel to reel in the pic

Now spinning some 70s rock I have the Australian release However this album is a double LP RE from 2014 The second LP is a companion disc and the material on the companion disc presents a portal to the time of the recording of Led Zeppelin 4. It is a selection of work in progress with rough mixes, backing tracks, alternate versions and new material recorded at the time Artist - Led Zeppelin Title - 4 Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/release/6238189-Led-Zeppelin-Untitled

play those suckers ... the days of using them to separate the seeds and stems is long gone.

Welllllll, crank it up and kick back. Think she'll have some new outfits for that grand? Now get up and turn it up some more. You'll make it! i've got 17 new lp's laying here to unzip. I can guarantee I'll never be w/o a second table again. I'm going nuts!

Wife has gone shopping So now it’s heavy metal Sunday A double album originally released 1991 but my album is a RE from 2014 Artist - Metallica Title - Metallica Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/release/6007719-Metallica-Metallica

at least you're not walking over people like some do.

I tried floating but never perfected it, it would be the next best thing to flying, that didn't work either.

Hahahaha I'm sitting here laffing at you guys. Emile gets the bonus points and the medal though. For service above and beyond the call of duty! 😂 🤘 @jubilee333 IF you can get him to audition some hip hop I'll award him an oak leaf cluster too! Keep us posted. Check them out WELL before you hit him w/your deal. He's gonna buy new wire anyway so snag all you can get. You'll be stepping up to those LS in no time! REMEMBER PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!

That'll be the plan! Going to hear them tomorrow afternoon. Thank you all for all the help so far.

Great minds think alike...also another pair of the 4.2 in Gainesville. That Kenwood can power 4 and still leave a little room for dancing...the bump...☺️ Cheers!

@jubilee333 Great! If the 4.2's are not in great shape, pick up the 4.5's. FYI, they are basically the same speaker. Note that the 4.2 shows "two" woofers, but it really is only "one." The other one is a "passive" woofer without a voice coil. In the 4.5 they replaced the passive with a port (haha; "hole").

So refresh and to tweets. Well, $450 for drive to Sarasota but, yes...maybe throw in speaker wire, connect cable... sure, why not...splitting wires here. Cup of tea.

Titanium tweeters and Crites XOs, not bad.

@billybob Haha, just found those also Sounds like a winner ... go get them @jubilee333 Make sure to "audition" them

I forgot to say, none of the three speakers is "better" or "more preferable", they´re just different, that´s how i would put it.

The Chorus models will fill the bill in that room as well.

The KGs will have more bass, the Heresies will have more finesse and detail. For what You want, the KGs are better suited, IMO.

Amps come in 2 different versions - tubes vs SS (solid state). Think we can forget about tube amps for you Usually best to match the speaker (watts) rating with the amp output - but even a 30W amp on a 100W speaker is OK. Do not overpower the speakers as you will FRY them Newer amps are usually rated at their published watts level; vintage amps normally have a higher actual watts level than their published rating. Most residential Klipsch speakers can be powered with amps 20-100W. Pro speakers are usually 300W and up. They require pro amps of 300W and up. More power usually gives you a tighter bass response and faster (tighter) high/low transients. Speaker boxes are usually 2 or 3-way, meaning they have internal electronics (i.e crossovers) to split the incoming signal to 2 (or 3) internal speakers (bass/mid/high) which require different frequency ranges. A 2-way speaker may have a low frequency range from 20-800Hz and a high range of 800-20kHz. Good hi-fi speakers, such as Klipsch, have balanced the box dimensions/ports with the characteristics of the low/mid/high speakers and corresponding crossovers. Hope this helps Cheers, Emile

Seems to be more where this came from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Greatest_Showman_(soundtrack)#Critical_reception Not bad, no?

Who knew Wolverine could sing?

This (even from cnn) is a nice story. Reminds me of some of the extended BBC stories. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2021/10/health/filipino-nurses-cnnphotos/

I'm walking on sunshine, oh yeah.

I wish there were more.

You just gave it away in another post. I deserve an oak leaf cluster.

@jubilee333 IF you bring them home ask what he's used on the cabinets. Gonna make them allllll looking good if you get them so don't spray them down w/Pledge!

Almost done with mine. Just need to cut the doghouse out on the top and seal up the joints. Will probably give them a sand as well. Fun fun...

Haha; never saw it because I looked at "my" link. Same seller; he has listed the 4.2's separately for $300 and with the amp for $500

The Kenwood is the Tampa link I posted earlier here for 5. Package deal. At least, probably has preouts but not needed likely. Sure the pair should do it.

BTW, that blemish is from a glass of bourbon, scotch or other distilled spirit. Easy matter to duplicate it on the other speaker, if you prefer.

Nice find! lots of potential there looks like the ports have been extended as well.

This started out at 700. Pretty positive that the 300 dollars is the same one in this package deal. Good enough to sprinkle your feet and, after audition, your room size and listening level, may be well suited for a decent starter plug and play. Don't forget guys the Tractrix type horn, should rock sweet and blow the Polks...: https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/ele/d/riverview-vintage-kenwood-and-klipsch/7392202242.html

@jubilee333Re above ... KG's are very good, but more an introductory speaker than Heresies. As per @AndreG."The KGs will have more bass, the Heresies will have more finesse and detail. For what You want, the KGs are better suited, IMO." They are less refined but probably better suited for your purpose - and less expensive I started with new Cornwalls about 30 years ago and have added KG's, etc etc. My KG4.2's were really great. PM me a link to the ones you found and I'll give you my opinion. For in home DJ parties they may be your best option And, you are welcome to check out my speakers. But ... only have Heresies and much LARGER speakers ... really cannot give you a comparison And if you take me up on my offer DO NOT bring any hip hop Cheers, Emile Re my opinion on the Forte's ... had a set and tried to combine them with (pro) K-510/K691 horns. Never got it to work ... the Forte's were just anemic in that combination.

Was just thinking Chorus...

Now is your chance to get shot of it. Sell it to a greater fool and get a VPI Scout, or something else respectable....

That LP and the anthemic, heavy ballad kinds of sounds were a surprise to me. The fact that they still sounded like themselves told me they pulled off the crossover to the "regular" side of FM.

I tried to hire a landscape gardener once, but after taking one look at my garden she said, “I can’t help you. Your garden is in portrait.”

But WHERE is he??? 😂 😂 😂

Hell will not freeze over So I suppose it’s better late than never 😎

I can think of a nice reply to that; but out of respect to Chuck's thread, I won't as I don't think the moderators would allow it.

Alfred E. Newman for President. Oops, is that considered a political post? if I get banned ... it was nice knowing you.

What? Me worry?

back in the 70s, I dropped some acid on the way to the Los Angeles International Airport. I was flying to Detroit. Got in the first line that I saw and it turned out to be some foreign airline that wasn't going to Detroit. Tried to buy a beer during lunch; but they asked for ID and I was only 18. Bought a MAD magazine, boarded my flight, and read every word of that issue. Can't recall what I read; but I think I laughed out loud. Thank God that I didn't freak out ... I don't recommend LSD and jet airliners.

So... I was reading today, that 4% of nurses in the US are from the Philippines. Mostly because the US set things up for them to supply the country with workers at the end of WWII.
