Make sure she has your log on here, all she has to say is she is your wife and needs help. seen it at least a half dozen times (unfortunately). Even widows who are total strangers get help here. @thebesdrove an hour each way one weekend to help a lady who had about 6 pairs to Klipsch Heritage, and was being told one pair wasn’t working and if she would take a low amount he would take off her hands. He went out there to see if there really was an issue and give straight scoop. He told her what story was, what fair price was as is, what it would be if fixed, etc. IIRC on this one, she wanted to pay him something, gas, time, he wouldn’t take it. That is just one example of many. Might always agree on everything, but we have each others backs in times like those.

I bought some new hot sauces yesterday. The kids and I sampled them and thought they tasted pretty good. However my old standby ghost pepper sauce on the right is still the hottest of what I currently have.

Classic! Yuuuuuup, mission accomplished! 😂

Just for you @JohnA It was just a "Three Hour Tour!" 😂 😂

Besides Sterno, refried beans or "Goin' up the Country" from Woodstock ? I'm at a loss dude. *Police Cruiser coming down the road?

Thread save! 😃

Is there a lesson to be learned from that? In other words, friends and family you, person who receives funds pays no fees. Is it better just to say on an unknown, hey, I won’t do friends and family, it will be regular PayPal, I will pay the 3%? Or is it a waste of time?

Thanks for the welcome! I am based in West Sussex, not far from the coast. The light shade is sort of like an upside down pine cone as I built the house in an existing plot that had a large marine pine tree 'too close' to the new building to keep......but after doing a lot of research and insisting I kept it and we worked around it to build the house. So it's sort of a nod to the mature trees that surround the property. I can't recall where I got it from to be honest, my wife found it 🙂

In my neighborhood... early teen years we played pigs & freaks... not cops & robbers!

Dang John, cops in a squad car! How'd you know...lol !

Yes @JohnJ ...69 for this one boogie by the Heat. Posted a couple or so lps by them early on. Hooker and Heat a keeper. My old Avatar... You know what canned heat is right?

It was just a bowl of oatmeal + OJ for several days. Had to continue my supplements if I couldn't eat right. Pasta and garlic bread were so good today... now it's dirty dishes and laundry for several hours. & refill the Luzianne jug

Three? It should only take that long back and forth. But with those youngins swerving three and four lanes over? Without even a turn signal?(what are those sticks sticking out of the wheel?) Sometimes they just get run over. Must be every time I'm on I-85 the last couple years. Not a cloud in the sky today several wrecks on the way up. Northbound was closed for a big-un on the way back. Then the 20 min from the hwy to the hood... That road was closed with lots of blue lights up around the bend. My lungs are clear, just the sinus' snot left now.

Now, I"m not a wizard when it comes to hot sauces but... Ya might wanna pm @oldtimer and check his out. I loaded up with zero regrets. He IS the man!

Everyone is thinking - why "used to"!!!!!

You are my hero.

Those Toolshed amps are beautiful and I’m sure they sound amazing. I used to shoot a lot of Sports Illustrated style photography for Bikini companies and many photographers posted on photo forums that they could create much better pictures if they had my 300 mm lens. All I could think was if they were so talented and I was CRAP that they should pay the $5,000 on the same lens I was using and show us all how great they really were.

Welcome! They talked me out of selling my Chorus when I came here. Was a good idea. @RVASound ☕

Thank you all! I think I'm going to sit on them for a bit. I know I'd miss them.

What a SCUMBAG !!!!! AND A FRAUD

backatcha!

If loosening and tightening the screws, which is really just done to ensure a good connection - didn’t bring the highs back - then you should probably just go ahead and replace the capacitors.

That is one of the ones that was looking for you to find. Another I have is lurking. Cool...

The tweeter should be 7.5, the squawker should be 12 - 12.5 and the woofer should be 6-ish, unless a K-22-EF and it will be 8.3-ish. I had a K-77 tweeter with loose terminals that didn't always contact the voicecoil leads. Manipulating the tweeter often gave good DCRs, until I noticed the terminal moved.

Well without sausage it's not greasy. Tomatos, garlic, olive oil in the Fettuccini are healthy!

I have fish mounts in the rec room with my Klipsch home theater. Would that be considered FIN Shui?

I agree completely with this, although my late wife was quite understanding to having mic cables and recording gear strewn around the house when I would pretend to be an engineer and have musician friends over. The kids got used to it.

replace the capacitors , remove all modifications , the speaker was designed for optimal performance by Engineers , buy a new Klipsch capacitors kit from JEM , open the box , check the cabinet sealing , are the drivers original ? are the crossovers original or modified ? what is the condition of the woofer suspension ?

@thebes

Yeah I would never take advantage of someone if a death had occurred. This was a case of the kid had wore out his welcome and just assumed his dad would hang on to his stuff forever. They were in pretty poor shape, one woofer was torn, the cabinets had been stored upside-down on the concrete floor in the guy's garage for who knows how long, grilles were in poor shape. I cleaned them up the best I could, replaced the grille cloth, listened to them for a year or so then sold them to a friend for $75.

I bought these last year. The woofer design looks different but everything else physically looks the same. By design I mean one is silver with the model Stamp K48 and the other is black with the Klipsch emblem. Shape and dimensions look the same. the squawkers are identical and the tweeters are now SMAHLs. The one with the huge dips has a 30.B crossover, while the better looking graph is from a 30.A crossover. the cabinets seem to be in good shape. I’ve added bracing while I was adding the extensions. but I want to be clear, the bass extension fell off a cliff 20hz higher before the extensions. Tons of slam, just no depth.

Or telling me what they’re worth even…. Hehe

Along with a list, you can keep labeled photos. Especially for items like tubes and expensive cables. I mean, cables are just wire, right?

I've used UShip in the past and they were outstanding. It's been a couple years but a pair of KP-362s from Ocala to Chicago was around $200 IIRC Mark

Only if no divorce. In dissolution proceedings they tend to know the cost of everything, right down to the spare OEM Telefunkens, record cleaning machine and cheater plugs used to eliminate grounds loops. I guess it is a matter of what there frame of mind is at the time.

Somewhere along the line an owner refinished. You can still see the black in the grain.

Hope you continue to recover quickly. I had the germ back in august and coffee tasted like absolute garbage for a week or two. Certain flavors tasted fine but I couldn’t stand coffee at at all during that time.

Amazing how ya crave something greasy after the stuff ya catch. I usually order a pizza just to see if things are workin again. Tough call but ya gotta do what ya gotta do! 😂

@billybob almost did not recognize you there. Now that Fried Hockey Boogie suspiciously sounds like undercover Thorogood! Starting out a little more mild myself today, not dancing, toe tapping yea! Take it from the top, or:

@Travis In Austin FYI.... The captain is over at Audiokarma posting now under the name "capbeefheart" in the tube audio section as of last night. https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/kt77-worth-it.1020578/

Appreciate this, Buddy! I think all my checking account will allow right now is a step up into the A-S801, which is apparently a universally adored integrated for the price.

One of my childhood heroes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldier_of_Fortune_(1976_film) Seen again yesterday on TV...

Yamaha S501 is pretty good for those speakers IMO and it's affordable. I had one for a couple of years before I went to tubes instead.

You’re right, it’s irreconcilable. I get this binary way of looking at it, and it’s almost where I’m at. But like Marvel said, it’s a big part of our lives. I think it is better to adapt.

The AA tweeter circuit will change the load, but not significantly. I think the voltage across the squawker will gradually drop by another 3db or so around 5000hz compared to the stock filter. Actually, since the tweeter circuit is attached to tap 5, the T2A isn't really bypassed. In this case, it functions like a 45mh inductor. Therefore, at very low frequencies, the AA tweeter filter is actually 5th order (30db per octave). However, because the inductance of the autoformer is so large, it gradually turns into a 3rd order filter at higher frequencies. Your "Type EE" crossover will behave in a similar way. I always wanted to build a "Type EE" network. Go for it! Mike

I recently acquired a pair of cherry Heresy iii. A coworker relocated to Florida and said he didn’t have room for them. He sold them for an eighth of what they’re worth. Wasn’t even in the market. I just couldn’t pass the deal. They sat for few weeks then I finally played them I was super impressed by what I heard. That got me thinking it was time to upgrade my current setup. So I sold my RF-7ii (it was a sad day. I loved those speakers). I demoed the Forte III and IV side by side. There was a LaScala demo too. But that was just to say I’d heard them in person. The demos were done with a McIntosh MA352. I was super impressed by both. I ultimately decided on the Forte IV. I’m no expert on speakers. So I don’t have any technical jargon. But the reworked midrange is definitely noticeable in a side by side demo. As much as I loved my RF7 and as good as I felt they sound. The Forte’s are just better. My PrimaLima brings them to life. As you can see from the pic. I built some stands to get them up off the floor and some vibration isolators from Amazon. I don’t have any questions. Kinda new around here and just wanted to share my journey.
