Unless we blow up the motor in the '69 Ford pick-up, my son and I and a brother in-law will be there with a pair of Cornwalls. My son and broNlaw probably will only stay an hour or two but I plan on sticking around at least till the Hubcaps get stuck in the Mississippi Mud.

I asked this on the "vinyl sale" thread but I will ask here again. what do you think of the http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/index.php recordings? I have 4 I got in last week and I like them. They have that "you are there" sound. A little brash at times but real.

I like the people who are nice to me, answer my questions and don't call me names. OK, I like 1 person on the forum. OK, I would like to like one person on the forum. OK, I would settle for one person on the forum to like me. OK, I would like some peace and quiet now.

So what do you jazz listeners think of the http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/index.php recordings? I am enjoying, tony williamson (folk) Bob Kindred with Larry Willis (jazz) Midnight Blue with Curtis Pope, Selina McDay, and Artie Sherman, (jazz) and The Art of the Ballad vol.1 (Lotsa get lucky music)

Look like new. Thought someone up here may be interested. I'm broke.

Thanks. That is what it is. the top of the screen is stationary. Everything else moves below it. I guess I can lower the shelf and turn the projector back over on its feet and that would fix it. Before I turned it upside down, I had spacers piled up under the back end but I didn't like the way it looked. It is over a sofa so knocking myself in the head won't be a problem if I lower the shelf. I don't have a good enough video card or PC to do it with software. Avman. My son wanted to start establishing credit so we bought it in Monroe at Basic. I guess I could have checked with you about financing. I just assumed that local financing would be the only way he could get it. Believe it or not, we still don't have HDTV hooked up to it. I have been keeping my eye out for a OTA receiver(cheap) but haven't spotted one I can afford. The local cable folks say it will be about the first of the year before they offer it.

Max, the lack of response probably is due to the fact that your first post was a 4am. Not to many folks up that early.

I have my proj. sitting on a shelf, upside down on the back wall about 18" down from the ceiling. My screen is butted up against the ceiling and is about 7'8" x 3'6 1/2". The problem I am having is that on 2.35 movies, I can blow the picture up to fill the screen, only if I shim up the front of the projector. For all the other sized movies, I can adjust the size without raising the projector. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to switch something? One other question is why does the ratio change when I change from cinema to standard to dynamic?

Click on the Klipsch logo at the top of the forum page and go to the help menu. There you will find the contact page. You can phone or email them. Give them the serial numbers and they should be able to tell you the type finish. If they can't send you new labels, there are plenty of pictures you could use to make new ones.

The thread is used as a spacer under the edge of the suction head so nothing but clean thread touches the vinyl. You pull out 1/4" of new thread for each new album. The waste tread is collected in a jar on the side of the cleaner along with the dirt and cleaning soultion.

Hey Moon, I will tell you a trick that friends of mine in the auto install business use. They take a little laser light, and mount it on a flat board or a tri-sqauare at a 90 degree angle and place it where the speaker is going to be and aim the laser at the ear of the person that they want to have the sweetest spot. Very precise.

The cheaper price, the fact that they are 200 lbs, and the fact that the warranty is for electronics only, not cabinets, shouts MDF or particle board.

Fini, You have a t3 line direct to Google or what?

I wish I had a room that size. I am stuck with a 15x20 with 8' ceiling. The screen is on the 20' wall, Khorns in the corner on the left and false corner on the right. Belle under the screen, Cornwalls on either side in rear right next to couch arms, not behind it. Couch 15' back against wall. Ceramic tile floor, paneled walls. NOT IDEAL AT ALL!!! The sound is so much better than any theater I have ever been in, I can't believe "IDEAL" could be any better. "Saving Private Ryan" had me ducking the bullets. I installed all the electronics in the room behind the wall the couch is backed up against and installed a repeater for the remote. I was going to install the projector in the other room and only leave a small hole for the light to come through but I couldn't install a larger screen for the size it would need to be with the projector that far back. The fan is so quiet, I never hear it. It sounds to me like you would have a fun room. I would think one Lascalla on each side and one for the center would be plenty for the front. I would put the center on rollers so it could be rolled aside for the dancing. A couple of Cornwalls in the rear or 2 more Lascalla's and I would think it would be party/movie time.

I don't think those are Klipsch cabinets. I think they are aftermarket covers or maybe home built. The speakers behind are standard Klipsch.

I edited my reply above to include more numbers.

H=1 W=1.26 D=1.59 Stolen from somewhere on the list. Assuming the formula is correct, your ceiling with insulation/sound proofing, would be about 9.5 feet. So Ideal width would be 9.5x1.26= about 12 feet. For the depth, 9.5x1.59= about 15 feet. Where you go from there, I haven't a clue.

You could still use the in wall speakers in a smaller boxed in area like these and finish all sides to match the ceiling. At least this way the speakers could be aimed to fit the seating area without stickin out like a sore thumb.

Fini, Here is one to think about. What if a square Kicker Solo-Baric 15" woofer were mounted behind the slot? I wish I had a spare bass bin and a 15" Solo-Baric.

Here is a picture of a Heresy placed in the ceiling for a rear surround. This is what I was trying to describe earlier.

You will need a STB if the projector doens't have a tuner built in. I don't know of any that has a tuner. All the signal is brought down a single coax. It goes into the tuner and the tuner breaks it down into audio and video. What antenna you use will be determined by the distance to the transmitters and your elevation. Uhf is line of site and according to some websites I have seen, 60 mile is about the max distance without using a huge tower, antenna and amp.

That is probably the lines in the mold they use to form the horns. The horns are built/molded in one piece but the mold is made of 2 or more pieces.

I love my theater. Khorns up front, Belle center, Cornwalls for rear surround, Yamaha power, $39 dvd player, home made sub with a 1000 watt samson amp, and a Sony projector to a 7.5'x3.75' screen. My son and I watched a movie tonight and during one scene I commented/yelled to him, "You never heard a movie at a theater sound this good, have you?" His reply, "Nope." Last week we watched "Saving Private Ryan". The sound on that movie with all heritage speakers was so realistic, I was ducking for cover when the bullets would ricochet. It has taken about 3 weeks of tweeking to just get the Yamaha set close enough to right to really enjoy a movie, but I have got to say that when it is right, it is RIGHT. Now for some Nora Jones, Pink Floyd, Bela Fleck, or The Eagles, the hands down winner for sound is the Scott tubes with two Cornerhorns.
