SSH,
Thanks for bringing LaScalas! Now there's a speaker that takes real dedication to transport!

Congratulations! Those are beautiful and no doubt will give audio joy for many years.

As I understand it, the higher the octane, the slower the gasoline burns. You don't want it igniting as the piston is on the upstroke, but rather when the downstroke starts.
There are some real mechanics on this forum, so if I'm wrong I'll know it soon enough.

As for joesportster's suggestion of boycotting buying gas for 3 or so days.....that won't do anything. Why? Because folks will all fill up before the three days commence and then rush to fill up afterwards.
No, what needs to happen is for ALL of us to start buying from one or two brands only. That means for days and maybe weeks, the other companies will sell nothing. That's when the law of supply & demand kicks in and the starving stations lower their price in order to stay alive. That would then force other staions to follow suit. I personally think this would only have to happen once for the oil companies to get the message.

What we really need to do is stop buying gasoline for a whole month! That's when the law of supply & demand kicks in and the starving stations lower their price in order to stay alive. I personally think this would only have to happen once for the oil companies to get the message.
Perhaps the price just needs to get to 10.00/gallon for us to get the message?

woo,
That's a good idea. I can add a Sunfire tube preamp to the show and tell list.
I think that we have one member who will be bringing a pair of very nice JFL 2A3 SET monoblocks.
AWESOME!
So...... Gilbert.... were you serious about bringing a second set of Cornwalls? I know you were floating the idea out there, but it would be awefully nice if you did. [

This is what happens to one's mind when they get rid of a perfectly good pair of Klipschorns... [

You got rid of Khorhs and now you are reminiscing about 901s????Ouch. I knew somebody'd have to bring that up.[:$]
Well, yeah. If you'll notice, there's a whole bunch of klipsch owners with a Bose daliance in their deep, dark past. And some who still have a pair around.
I think it has more to do with the search for quality and being sucked into an extremely effective marketing ploy on the way to nirvana. After hearing the Cornwall, I never listened to the Bose 901 again. At low volumes they absolutely sucked big time. At high volume they sorta shine, but they always have this phase induced haze that is kind of like an overdose of Nyquil. To me anyway.

Guys, it is about KLIPSCH speakers, do you really wanna run yourselves nuts swapping electronics? I'd settle for some xover a/b tests IF sufficient setup is done that they can really be A/B'd. Thanks
Michael
I hear what you're saying, but it looks like there may be two pairs of Cornwalls (Gilbert?? hint hint!!). and if there are at least two pre-amps there can always be a pair playing while setting-up the second pair. Personally, I would get a huge kick out of hearing stuff that's highly regarded by folks here. Be sure to bring some of your favorite CD's, Michael.

I'm bringing my 76 Cornwalls. Bob C is bringing a set of his new type B Crossovers. I would love to hear your Cornwalls with the ALK's.
If we have two pair we can always be playing some tunes whilst the other pair is having its innards messed with!
I'm also bringing my Scott 208 power amp. There will be a Merlin there, I'm sure.. maybe a SET amp for fun.

The day I brought my Cornwalls home was the day the 901 VI's went silent. I was always fiddling with the tone controls trying to get a sound that I liked. I didn't sell them, however. Currently they are on permanent loan to a friend whose rather cheap speakers died. His family loves the sound, and admittedly, if set up correctly, the 901's can put out a heap of sound!

Last month when I filled up the tank I paid 2.36, I think. I still have 3/4 tank. Next fill up (hope trip next month) might be as high as $4.00. Gas in BG KY is near 3.00/gallon if not higher.

JOY! I'm so glad your mom's okay.

BS,
The loudness contour on the 299B I scored recently (and have feeding the Khorns) is not exactly to my liking, and I've taken to just listening to everything flat. It ain't bad, ya know.
The loudness contour on the 355 is wonderful at low volumes.
There is the Scott 130 preamp, but that ain't a new thing.
re: your question on the Cornwalls... uh.. NO!! [

BS, I would be happy to let you use my Scott 355 for a tube pre-amp listen. It has Telefunken 12ax7's and really sounds smooth. While I don't think this is the route you are wanting to go, it *does* sound nice. The Merlin will undoubtedly sound better (but lacks the loudness countour I love so much).
My 355 will ultimately be sold to some unknown person who wants a phono stage and a tube tuner.

Thanks for putting that link up there J.4knee. In the 'who's responsible' rhetoric it's easy to forget folks are hungry, thirsty, trapped, homeless, scared, dying, helpless.

Very nice Todd, can't wait to hear it.
What is that behind woodog, can it be a PEAVY pa cabinet. For shame.
Michael
[:$]
I can explain! When that picture was taken in Sept. 2001, I had just bought a powered head XR-684 and 2 of those HORRIBLE SOUNDING cabinets at a pawn shop for $300. It was pre-Klipsch.
I entered the world of Klipsch in June, 2003 (Heresys). I sold those Peavey cabinets later that year while on a trip to Atlanta to pick up my second pair of Cornwalls. I kept the powered head. It is a decent sounding unit, surprisingly, and VERY portable. I used to lug a Peavey KB-300 around for gigs. NEVER AGAIN!
BS, The Bose 901's have been permanently loaned/given to a dear friend of mine whose rather cheap speakers disintegrated recently. His family is rather pleased with them.

I assume NO responsibility for your madness. I have enough trouble with my own. [

Trey, That is good. I will have my 1-ton truck so you can throw in some K-horns and Jubilees also. Bob Crites
Bob Crites has also agreed to bring some new type B crossovers so we'll be able to listen to 1976 Corns ... before/after.

I just talked to the HI. They are giving you guys a little break on the price. Normal is $75 / room + $10 for each extra person. If you tell them you want to book a room with the "KLIPSCH TOUR" they will give you a flat rate on a room for $67.50
I have 20 rooms held in the "KLIPSCH TOUR" name. They will hold the rooms until Sept. 1st. So call and get your room.

Sitting on an ant hill. I was about 14 mos. old. I remember wanting to play with the ants and they were all over me, and then stinging. I screamed, the maid ran to me and was slapping them off.

I've heard those lovemaking sessions can last weeks, months, or even years. I think it is best that you not disturb them.
