I have this feeling that my luck is none too good This sword here at my side don't act the way it should Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave And it howls, it howls like hell I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool Black blade! Black blade! Forged a billion years ago Black blade! Black blade! Killing so its power can grow There's death from the beginning to the end of time And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign And the whole world's dying and the burdens mine And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time Black blade! Black blade! Bringing chaos to the world we know Black blade! Black blade! And its using me to kill my friends Black blade! Black blade! Getting stronger so the world will end Black blade! Black blade! Forcing my mind to bend and bend The black blade Forged a million billion years ago My cosmic sword goes on for eternity Carving out destiny Bringing in the lords of chaos Bringing up the beasts of Hades Sucking out the souls of heroes Laying waste to knights and ladies My master is my slave Ha ha ah ha ah ha!

Wellllllll, I'm kinda partial too...

Even though I liked Punch Brothers the style would be more akin to Bluegrass/ Avantgarde

These work really good.

Ya got the partial right! lol

There and Back:

I always liked Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow for its mix of smooth jazz, funk and rock. I wonder what it could have been like with great vocals, too. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m4RIkO4KeNSHtAFD13dMT_ydhSJVb73Bc&playnext=1&index=1

I've always said...Progressive Rock or Metal..."It's like Jazz after the pharmaceuticals kick in". 🫠

This was part of the earlier. Love his altitude! & he' got lots of good music out there.

Beautiful day, feelin' Minnesota though. Been through a lot already on that yt you have to babysit now... too many commercials for it to be worth a damn!!!!!!!!! Except for stuff like this: John Mayer doing his part in tribute to Jerry!

What are you using to power your 396's? I'm considering putting mine back together to try them out with my new Carver 285 amplifier thinking it may open them up a bit over the 275 I was running before. The 396's were probably the hardest Klipsch speakers I've owned to drive my little Carver VTA-20 was not up to task at all and it ran my Chorus II's fairly well.

Looks pretty kr s Colter Photo set up. 🙂

Yes Dave...you are kind of parcel post, also with music... 😎

more... This one song has four movements.

Had to go into town today, and these guys have been in the ride since before the trip Monday. Bluegrass breaking all the rules? Bluegrass tweaked to progressive? Bluegrass on Steroids? It's an enjoyable listen to break through the rainy days!

This is all I have

Spun some classics yesterday ... today I spun ....

Need a couple of these stacks

I have it running La Scala AL5’s and now that it’s at about 25 hrs the unit is really settling down, at first I had to turn the Treble down and the bass up a bit using the tone controls, last night I zeroed out the treble and reduced the bass. I had read prior to purchasing that the A-S3200 takes about 50 hrs to break in and it’s seems to be following that. The one thing I really like about the A-S3200 is how quiet the noise floor is (the La Scala’s pick up everything) compared to my tube gear. At max vol with nothing playing I can’t hear anything from the tweeter with my ear against the gril. My tube amps, well that’s another story. I have Rythmik Audio 15” subs also attached to the preout and it drives them very well, just waiting on the heritage sub release to finish my speaker end game (and upgrade the La Scala’s once Chief releases the upgrade kit)

Stumbled across a good Facebook deal yesterday, didn’t realize how good until I got home and looked up the model numbers. 4 aw-650’s for 70$ all in working and great condition. Only think is I kind of gotten ahead of myself and have no source/power for them.. I was hoping to wire in parallel but the manual says that’s a no go. So what amp/receiver do I need to power them? Budget friendly options are really all I’m able to afford at the moment. It’s for the backyard so I’m not too worried about fidelity, just want to have loud music when required. I’m not a complete audio amateur but wattage/ohms/all that shit still breaks my brain sometimes lol any and all advice would be infinitely appreciated. And my apologies if i don’t reply frequently as I am a paramedic and my schedule is chaotic to say the least. Thanks!

Curious if others have tried this. Would love to hear your opinions. Thanks guys. ---daniel

Thanks @gillrich & Welcome to The Klipsch Joint !

Post from another forum I recently read: ”2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great-grandparents 16 second great-grandparents 32 third great-grandparents 64 fourth great-grandparents 128 fifth great-grandparents 256 sixth great-grandparents 512 seventh great-grandparents 1028 eight great-grandparents 2048 ninth great-grandparents for you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total 0f 4094 ancestors over the last 400 years. think for a moment, how many struggles? how many battles? how many difficulties? how much sadness? how many love stories? how many expressions of hope for the future? did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...”

I've had enough. Going to kick this system to the curb and just put it out with the trash! I don't think I have ever heard such clarity and presence in my life. I feel lucky. The musicians are here standing in front of me playing. I am connected to the music in a way I have not felt before.

One speaker per audio channel please 🙂 If'ns you're feeling the urge to play two sets of speakers for two channel stereo, I might suggest that it's time for a larger, more capable singular pair of speakers. If you compare "Fortes Only" at 8:58-9:15ish vs both speakers at 10:00-10:15 the"effect" you get (a wah-wah-wah-wah) on the "both" becomes apparent how this can "mess" with things a bit. That's another interesting experiment. There was a guy on here years ago who used to do this with Cornwalls (IB Slammin or something). All the same speakers so it was easier to get them to "line up". ....and that's really "where it's at". So long as the amp can drive the load, no foul trying here, even if we learn some "works/not works" along the way.

Well the KLFs certainly did the job well. Tons of bass and the midrange and treble sounded great also. Everyone said the music was great.

Just watching a video about Adam Trombly (http://projectearth.com/about/adam-trombly), who was a friend of John Lilly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Lilly), staying at Lilly's house when diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer and 2-4 months to live, and in constant pain. An Iranian doctor suddenly arrives at the house, having been given a message during meditation to show up with a medical bag filled with Ketamine. As Adam lays on the floor of John Lilly's living room, "with my feet pointed between his two big Klipschorn speakers there..." (24:35) Ep 6 - Adam Trombly Recalls Stories of John C Lilly

Just curious if anyone has heard any of the Danley Labs products, and what was their impression. They were recently installed at a local college football stadium, and were said to be impressive. A Youtube video was made of the test, but you can't tell much about sound quality from a video.

LSU Tiger Stadium "...includes eighteen Jericho Horns and six “Rock Monster” subwoofers. Fourteen Danley J3-64 full-range Jericho Horns comprise the bulk of the new system, while four Danley J4-31 high-frequency Jericho Horns contribute to the system’s amazing high-end throw. Six Danley TH-812 “Rock Monster” subwoofers fill out the bottom of the system with thunderous low end. Four Danley SH-96s, four Danley SH-64s, four Danley SM-80s, and twenty Danley SH-MINIs provide fill for areas not directly covered by the Jericho Horns. A 32-channel Yamaha LS9 provides a familiar front end, while a QSC Q-Sys processing system feeds twenty-four Lab.gruppen PLM 10000Q and 20000Q amplifiers behind the scenes." http://blog.svconline.com/briefingroom/2014/01/15/lsu-roars-with-danley/

I'm sorry you took it that way, I just thought it would be pretty obvious to someone that calls themselves an "advanced member" with the thousands of posts written here about this very subject. Unfortunately, it's easy for either of us to come off in ways that were not meant to be, and this is clearly the case. I originally misinterpreted your intent as total sarcasm base on your "excuse my ignorance" opening statement along with your Advanced Member title. No offense meant either way, I'm sure. No bother at all, we are all here to figure all this out. ClaudeJ1, I owe you a very sincere apology for my rude reply. You were correct. I was wrong to take offense. Please forgive me. I'm truly embarrassed to have started something that has taken away from the topic of the post. My behaviour was inexcusable.

Wall mounting KL-650-THX's and ceiling mounting (fly) KL-525-THX's. Any suggestions on best hardware. Spoke with rep @ Omnimount, who indicated they no longer produce mounts to hold speakers of that size. Any help would be appreciated.

What do you think of a Primaluna Prologue Three preamp with a B&K 200.2 main? I'm sure this might go well with my Cornwalls, refined, with sufficient bass.

Sweet, thanks

Wow, Cornscalas? Got the best of both worlds; I can only imagine how good that sounds, Congrats! Passive pre's never crossed my mind, I'll have to check them out. I heard that B&K's are pretty nice (on the warm side). I'm thinking a decent laid back passive pre (carbon-based - still want tight bass) with B&K 125.2 or 200.2? Probably not the 200.2, since even the 125.2 would be plenty for the Cornwalls.

SWL, Yea, I definitely heard that older Harmon Kardons were pretty nice (not sure about the new ones though). If you're not to far away, I'd like to give them a try as well.

Ahh, Simply Stereo I presume? Haha, yea

Colin, Horns and Tubes definitely make a match, but I'd like to stay away from tubes. Unfortunately, my laziness would not match well tubes.

Hopy you are enjoying the warm weather in Orlando[Y]

Did somebody listen to "Over the rainbow" by Jane Monheit ???? If not...I urge you to do.

I can buy used k-horns up here in canada for $1500 to $2200 canadain just about anytime i please . Thats $1100 to $1650 usd at the current 1.33 exchange rate . I'm in Toronto...may I know where did you find Klipschorns at those ridiculos prices???? I'll but 3 pairs at $1100usd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RB, Why you keep Decware if the bass is only "polite" ?? I don't see any bass problem with my 84c select and my Klipschorns.....

Thanks Alan...you are great like allways. What could you tell me about JIMMY SMITH-The Sermon ?? Did you like it? Or you like more J.Smith with TURRNETINE ??

I just buy a pair of 1991 K-horns with AK-3 crossovers and after I spoke with Steve Phillips and ask him about the difference AK-3 and AK-4 and about posibility to upgrade to AK-4,I decided to keep AK-3.I understand the main reason for Klipsch to change to AK-4 was ElectroVoice,who does not manufacture anymore driver for Klipsch. So...my sugestion is to find an old pair,built after 1989 with AK-3 crossovers and also with desirable ElectroVoice crossover. cheers

Believe it or not, those speakers are made in Brest, France.
