I believe he's referring to the JBL horn in the OP

Finishing up on a totally different system variation, with high powered tube amps, and non "horn" type speakers. I'm again, blown away right now. Middle: Audio Research VT100 MKII, and/or Sonic Frontiers SFM-160 monoblocks. Halcyon-Mark Audio floorstanders custom built by Jon Anderson!

I bet Claude has something to do with this.

The JBL 2360/65 horns have a slot in the throat, which many have said will sound like frying bacon if overloaded. Dennis (DJK) always commented on this, but I am going to make an assumption here, that used in the home, the JBL horn would be ok in that regard, especially since it was designed for P.A. use but you are downsizing the area covered. The K402, is a modern design with more time to make it a better horn all around. You can see the long slot in this pic I pulled off the net.

I used to work as a janitor and would clean carpet regularly with heavy duty industrial extraction machinery. Even so, when that carpet would get pulled up and replaced, there was an absolutely disgusting amount of filth that was left beneath the carpet. Go for the hardwood floor. put a washable rug down and work on the rest of the room acoustics.

It wasn't the distance. It's the fact that I was tired and didn't want to drive that far. I went to the grocery store and started rebuilding stuff like some condiments, and fresh coffee beans!. By the way... the new one puts out 270mph

This is a gorgeous pair of Klipsch 60th Anniversary speakers. There were only 200 pairs of this model made (this is pair #97) and looking at used sales it seems most went to Europe. HiFi Shark shows the last used pair sold in the US was in 2018, although there were no doubt some private sales made. The front of each is veneered in Lacewood and the black top is painted with shiny piano black. The last pair of Klipschorns I owned had slightly torn up veneer at the bottom of the front. These have a bar of black anodized metal across the front bottom to prevent this. Attached to this bar is a silver Klipsch logo inset with a diamond (yes, a diamond). There is a numbered plaque on each explaining the significance of the speakers. The crossover is visible thru a window and made of premium parts featuring Van den Hul CS14 copper-silver multi-strand internal wiring and WBT binding posts. These are not corner-horns. The back is enclosed and the sound comes out the front sides, negating the need for corner placement. They can be towed in. They can be easily bi-wired if desired. Weight of each is 225 lb - I paid a mover to get them to my house. These were owned by an audio dealer here in Shreveport, now deceased, who sold Klipsch and put together a premium system for his home. Look at the pictures - other than a few very small scratches they are very clean. No boxes. These will have to be picked up at my home in Shreveport, Louisiana by a couple of very strong people. I am retired and can arrange to meet almost any pick-up time. Price is firm at $7K. Glynn Wilson 318-734-4655 glynnwilson@comcast.net

Josh @Invidiosulus sent me this pic and I just dug it up. This guy is somewhere in East Tennessee area or into the Carolinas. It's a stack of 4 Super Texans with a couple JBL 2360s on top and subs in the middle. The texan use a single 12 inch in each.

You could do either, or something different. It depends on your woodworking and finishing skills, and your budget. 1) If you filled the chips and cracks with putty, you’d want to finish them so that the repairs wouldn’t stand out. Although some people (and restorers) can do wonders, I’ve never had much success disguising the repair. 2) Veneering just the damaged areas is challenging. You’d need to find veneers that are a good match to the existing grain. Then the repair would have to be finished to blend in. 3) You could re-veneer the entire cabinets. That might necessitate using putty to get a smooth surface. If you have experience veneering, this wouldn’t be too hard. But it seems overkill given the modest damage to your speakers. 4) You could repair the damage (e.g., with putty) and then paint the cabinets. That would be easy to do, but would be a shame since the speakers are quite attractive. 5) You could leave the speakers as is and just enjoy them. Lots of options …

BassNpalomaGram is where you need to be. A limit of fish in the morning, a limit of boyds (say it out loud when you read it) in da afternoon.

No Instigram/TikyTok or X..... but if anyone can verify that either of these will improve my ability to catch more fish, I will seriously consider joining.

Thanks all. I had tried Aragon first. I called twice and left a message both times (as no one answered the phone) and no one contacted me. I guess I will try it again.

I love big speakers... but I would get the Heresy IV.

For eARC and Blu-ray, especially with 4K, you'll want a high-quality HDMI cable. Brands like Belkin or AudioQuest are pretty good. They make cables that can handle 4K well. Also, since you're looking into HDMI stuff, check this out: https://hifiaudios.com/cables/hdmi-arc-vs-earc/. It's a comparison that might give you more info on what you need.

Your best bet of course. I have owned two Acurus 200FIVEs, same as Aragon 2007 minus two channels, and one of them was purchased with a blown channel. Took it to my local electronics repair guy and yes the fuse was blown but that was due to a faulty output transistor on a single channel. Back then, about 13 years ago, I think I paid about $125.00 for the repair. Bill

They're just different... Both are wonderful, yet the Klipschorn can't do what the Jubilee can do and the Jubilee can not do what the Klipschorn can do. Surely the both can play the same frequencies to a point (Klipschorn can't dig nearly as low) and the Jubilee has trouble sparkling on top. The Jubilee is much more effortless and has a tremendous sense of scale in terms of imaging that a Klipschorn can not match, but the Klipschorn is much more effortless in terms of ease of operation... when it comes to the Professional Jubilee. Is the Jubilee better, yes... is it more trouble, yes. (A lot of this is due to the steep learning curve necessary when using the Pro/xilica set up). I never liked the sound of a 'Cheeky' horn... but that's a person preference.

Same here, just remembered who they were after that one.

Thanks guys! the receiver only played one speaker on a different set...is there a chance that my speakers are breaking the amps? this happened with a pioneer 1018 which i bought to power the speakers. two worked then the right channel blew after --->the cones got messed up with heat (in a storage box) im thinking maybe ill have to look into the crossovers!

My 1st attempt was w/ 32GB USB and did not work. I failed to realize FAT32 format was required. My 2nd attempt was w/ a 2GB USB extracting the zip download from Klipsch directly to the USB. I tried multiple times w/ the same USB but failed every time. I proceeded w/ the 2nd step of the update app anyway and no longer able to use it. The app tells me update already completed but Klipsch Connect tells me the update is incomplete. My last attempt was using a 1GB USB. This time I extracted the zip file to my pc and then the bin files were COPIED to the USB. I removed the two Klipsch apps, removed bluetooth connection, turned off bluetooth, and shut my phone off. This time the update worked, all the lights blinked but no lights were on after 2 minutes (was worried). I then reinstaled the Klipsch Connect app and it was able to find the speakers. The Connect app performed the step 2 of update app (which I could no longer use) and SUCCESS.

I recognise the song from radio play in the 70s However I never knew the bands name

Some history in 2 minutes of an iconic sound

That's the biggest hit of theirs that I can remember. I'm sure the vocals, especially from the one guy with the deeper base voice sounds good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwnC_8_ZeYE

Looks real nice @nickyboy6100. Like your own wall of sound!

I’ve been working on a pair of split La Scala’s for the last couple months. I can finally see the end.

Well I got them all cleaned up using light soap and damp clothes. I went with a natural slightly tinted wax to seal and protect. We have used this over the last 20 years on a couple other wood furniture pieces we have. Yes the speakers sound awesome (running cds through it). Love em. I did some research and wanted to do some tube amps and decided on a new build from getdynaco so I got a st70 and soon to arrive pas-3 or M preamp. I also have a new turntable coming in on Monday. It will be interesting but something I’ve had on my mind for many year is to have vinyl (ones created from analog source) and tube amp with klipsch belles, klipschorn … but these LaScalas will fit the bill in this room. I do have other rooms I’ll need to look over if I do see a klipschorn near me at a fantastic price lol. The AA crossover sound great to me but I understand will need new caps for longevity. I wanted to get my new gear going and listening for a bit and then do the upgrade. So not too many changes at once. thanks again all, for the great information.

Day off today! FINALLY!

Forget the prices. The pricing on big worldwide tours of major acts having long since passed me by. Did get to see them once at RFK Stadium, can't remember the album but they had these big blow up dolls of hookers. Great show and Mick was awesome. Glad for all of those magic musical musicians, not just The Stones, still taking to the road. I do believe it's not only the money and ego, but a true love of making music that keeps them going.

Ha! I played a similar game for the "Steel Wheels" Tour....The prices weren't so high but I had to get a wrist band just to stand in line on a future date at 4 am to get tickets...Long story short, once getting there and climbing to the bleachers, which had a pole obstruction, my friend dubbed it the "Steal your Money Tour!" Lol. We eventually worked our way down to a slightly better vantage point, but...

The recommendations are mixed so far here in the replies. I would choose a beautiful wood floor. Randy mentioned the hygienic benefits. It looks much nicer. I'm no expert but you should keep an eye on the subfloor of the wood floor. I once had floating screed under a wood floor in a room. It absorbed some of the bass energy, which was negative. I don't know how to do it properly. Carpet looks boring in my view and it can quickly make everything sound dull and overdamped. I would choose a real wood/hardwood floor...with an acoustically correct subfloor. Then you can customise the room visually and acoustically with the number and thickness of beautiful carpets. By the way, the mid-range and high-frequency horns do not radiate so strongly onto the floor and under the ceiling. They usually only have a dispersion angle of 60 degrees. I can't help you with your question about the ceiling. But a photo would be very helpful, and other members will certainly have the knowledge and willingness to share it with you here. Personally I always find slightly underdamped much better than slightly overdamped, it kills the sound.

I have the "Prelim. Specs/Cut Sheet" on PDF. I don't know how to get it on here. If you want it, let me know.

Any info on the other members of the PALLADIUM speaker family (specs)?

I am set to install CS-800-R's in a conference room (no need for 70 volt system - 8 ohm is fine). The install is plenum rated. Is there a back-can I can use with these speakers to pass code?

Similar to DENON DVD-9000 @ $3,500.00 List.

I just removed the BOSE..."stuff" from my church and am (little at a time) replacing with KLIPSCH. Just the little I have put in, the sound is very noticably better.

...also, the multichannel analogs are used for DVD Music disks!

RG-6 has a larger center conductor and foil & strand shield. It is great for long runs andlow signal loss. RG-50 is a smaller center conducter w/ a copper braided shield. It is use a lot in broadcast & video facilities for runs of 150 feet and less. It is also low loss but cannot cary the signal as well for longet distances.

Yes...go with the Synergys, or better yet, sell your car (or your neighbor's car) and get Reference!
