Been debating with myself all day whether to say something or not. Just not cool Dave. No company should have to sit and watch the bullshit that was going on here, on their company sponsored board. You have no idea how close we came to losing this place. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Iām the one that suggested to Roy to bring the hammer down and to change the direction of the modifications section. 2 years and people are still pissing and moaning about it. Get over it.4 points

Fedoras were much associated with gangsters during Prohibition era in the United States, a connection coinciding with the height of the hat's popularity between the 1920s and the early 1950s. In the second half of the 1950s, the fedora fell out of favor in a shift towards more informal clothing styles.2 points

I have had a couple of sets of RF 7/7II and would sit at least 10 ft. away from the speakers and not point the tweeter at my ears. One or 2 ft. from the wall will help if bass becomes a problem in the room. The speakers are large for that size room. Six in. woofers work well for that size room.1 point

I meant to add that in a club setting, the 901s are good producers of sound, but not good reproducers of sound1 point

Gene hits a point I strongly agree with. The 901, when used with a sub and carefully set up, are great club speakers. The diffusion, lack of hot spots is big plus where one cannot stand in the "sweet spot" all night. Nobody goes to a club for critical listening, but no one wants to be blasted with awful sound, either. I've lived with Great Heils and Visaton bass units in my study speakers for almost 5 years, and I think that Great Heils could be used in a carefully designed club sound field. due to their diffusion and smooth response above 1 KHz.1 point

Looks like we have a ten year anniversary of CCC&C on February 6th. Where's the party to be held? Surprised we never thought of this but it might be fun to post a photo of your favorite coffee/tea mug. I still use my See's Candy mug that came with a box of chocolates sent to my LF from former member minermark. Hope you Gents have a wonderful Christmas! Chuck aka Tarheel1 point

I can tell you that Germany is now nothing but a state of political chaos. Germany has been in an economic recession for two years, it has lost the touch with the TEC industries, which is also one of the leading producers in car manufacturing. Back to the roots ...From High Tec Mercedes back to the Trabbi .š¤£..too sad ! Have you heard about the attack in the German city of Magdeburg ? 6 dead and over 200 injured at a Christmas market! An assassination attempt by a doctor working in Germany who came from Saudi Arabia in 2006 and had lived here š¤·āāļø1 point

^ that sounds like an amazing set up... more than a match for nearly any consumer residential HT room or 5.1 music system.1 point

Stands work very well and get the tweeter and midrange closer to ear level. Vibrations, not a real problem and bass: get a sub sub a stop asking a speaker rated to about 50 Hz to do bass. I have always used subs even with my large efficient Klipsch because in was equal or better than running speakers full range. The tone will be set in the 80-300 Hz range and will determine the systems over all bass SQ. The room.\?1 point

As usual, I tend to agree with wuzzzer. 1642 and 1643 were shipped 12/11/81 to Discount Music. You should probably peruse the "Garage Sale" Forum for pricing clues.1 point

It is very unlikely that Paul did this. DIY goes back to the beginning of audio. Two 10's is not too far from the original 15. The difference may be audible, but TBD whether it is "better".1 point

I really can't help on this one. Better contact Roy Delgado.1 point

We don't have logbooks from this time period, but I do concur that they were introduced in 1985. BTW, this was the second "Cornwall II', as by 1985, the company had forgotten about the original Cornwall II that changed from a K-1000 horn to the K-600 horn. I can say that Tester (Ginny Sanders) is running the Klipsch Museum of Audio History's visitors center, and I saw Claudine Teague in Texarkana a few days ago!1 point

Definitely unsure here. The housing frame appears to be the same as a known Bozak woofer we have in the Museum.1 point

I am assuming that your EV15-WK is the earlier Alnico Magnet Version? If so, I own a pair and have tested them, a Crites, a K-33E Round magnet, A K-33E Square Magnet, a K-43E, and a K-44E Woofer all in a LaScala. I used to own over 40 some 15 inch Klipsch Woofers. My brother in Law and myself found the Electro Voice to stand out over the others. We listened to all woofers with both the top end playing, and just the woofers themselves. I have heard that the Sevens Trusonic sounds even better, but have never done an A/B comparison. I will wait with anticipation for you to post your findings of what you find in trying out your various motor boards. Roger1 point

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this discussion. Helpful comments and information. I think the next step is to do some actual measurement and testing with various motorboard thicknesses and woofer combinations, as well as the slot combinations (6x13, 3x13). To do that, I'm preparing to use my single 1956 klipschorn properly placed in a good corner, as a testing platform. I've just completed making several motorboards of both 3/4" and 5/8" thickness from very high quality Baltic birch. ( the 5/8" birch most closely matches the old, true 1/2" plywood of the 50's and 60's, it's a near match to about 1/32") I've created both thicknesses for both the 3x13 and 6x13 slot designs. I've painstakingly router cut these with custom jigs to ensure accuracy in both the slot size and curvatures. Second, I've assembled three woofers for testing - a good, original EV 15wk from the mid 1950's, a good, original k-33e square magnet, and a new Crites cast frame woofer. I am planning on doing the actual testing toward the end of September, after assembling the right testing equipment, and scheduling a free weekend! My plan is to carefully measure the various combinations and post the results here on the forum for review. In addition to motorboard effects, I for one am very curious to see how the EV and Crites cast woofers perform on the 6x13 slot boards as opposed to the 3x13 slot with the K-33e commonly used. Stay tuned. Thanks everyone, BefuddledInMn1 point

Great example of the scientific process there, Larry! Excellently illustrated and described. Did you ask the woodworker to come over in a suit, too? (Just ribbing you. Gary was probably on lunch break, eh? He does look like he'd be comfortable sipping tea from a fine china cup, pinky extended... )1 point
