Yeah ya can.

It's broken. I haven't been able to post a picture in quite some time.

Quad and Klipsch is a nice pairing.

The K-77 can only take about 2 watts. If memory serves, the leads are 40 gauge. As the voice coil heats up, so do the leads. At some point - a lead will burn through.

Gold = overpriced average metallized polypropylene capacitors. AA is the wrong network for your drivers. Sounds like you just have a bad solder joint/loose connection. Very doubtful that you have a bad part. https://www.facebook.com/share/1HDnB63zMg/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Wish list: Being back the RB-75.

AK-6 is on Crutchfield for just over $16K. RF-7iii pair on sale for $3600. That number is pretty digestible.

First time I’ve heard that explained in a way that I understand. Maybe someone up the chain will see it.

Only good argument I’ve heard.

People place a high value on aesthetics. 90% of the DIY efforts I’ve seen would be relegated to the garage by the Mrs. “Garage system” and “Man Cave” is code for “not in my living room”.

Yes. Forte IV.

So you understand this in one context, but not another. Imagine a high level meeting and someone says, “So why does the forum exist, looks like it just ends up making more speaker companies.” I was told this actually happened. And of course all of the yapping and promotion of said companies.

Some people like to use two different amplifiers, for example, a tube amplifier for the HF section and a solid state amplifier for the woofer. You will need a separate preamp to do this. This is horizontal passive biamping. You can also use two of the same type amplifier, and vertically biamp using a Y-cable from the preouts of the preamp. If you have a HT receiver, some allow you to dedicate an unused channel for this - to deliver more power to the speaker. I prefer one good quality integrated amplifier over passive biamping.

12 pair. Lol. Uh, okay.

Sure. Companies you list are undoubtedly engaged in the aftermarket parts business - like Harely, etc. Harley has 5000 employees. How many does Ford have. Hope has like 50?

List them.

I don’t think that’s his actual network, just a photo Simply Speakers used for their site, because if you need a picture of a network, make sure you leave it on the dash of your car on 100 degree day first. 🙃

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. I’m 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.

Can you get them 12’ apart and sit 12’ back. My listening area is smallish and I used RF-7’s for many years.

The crossover in that picture looks damaged. Just saying.

It’s subjective. The Klipsch sound is a live sound, and you either like it or you don’t. Which begs the question- why did you buy them to begin with? I don’t think the Universal sounds better than stock either, but if you’re jacking around with different drivers, it’s the only turnkey solution for that.

Yes, let’s make things so expensive that they have to shut down Hope.

So, it’s your fault.

I stock OEM T2A’s. I only said air core versions weren’t available.

No such thing. Ever seen a 21mH air core? If you push aside “reasonably priced”, you might be able to coax Dave Slagle of Impact Audio to custom wind it for you.
