Another popular mod is to shove a tennis ball in the mid-horn. j/k

Noticed there is no “one per household” rule. I could do 105 entries.

Apples and oranges once you use a swamping resistor and create a bandpass.

Hundreds of hours of engineering went into getting that fried bacon sound just right.

Not a Klipsch design.

I have almost given up trying to get some to understand this. Really though, the aftermarket autoformers are the real culprit - since they 1) change the working inductance between the autoformer and the K-55, altering the 12dB/octave response, and 2) the attenuation levels for each tap are not exactly the same as the T2A.

They can build more than an amplifier per day?

Buy them. Since the backs of the AK-6 are finished, they don’t need to be seated deep into corners, just within 12” or so. If you can’t do that, can you supply them with some boundary reinforcement, say near a wall?

Those look really nice. Great price.

Looking for my network decoder ring.

I like their stuff, but if it was just me I would pass on it. I have pretty much seen everyone I wanted to see - except Led Zeppelin. My niece had just locked down tickets for all of us for the Cleveland show and Bonham died almost the same week she bought them. I haven’t had a drop of serotonin since. This is for my wife’s birthday. Deb would’ve been happy in the nosebleed section, but blowing her away is so much more fun.

My first concert was Starcastle, Styx and Kansas. Ticket was $5.50 2024: 2nd row for this show? Two VIP tickets - $933.83.

It wasn’t sarcasm, I just didn’t understand.

At first, he didn’t have a tweeter. After moving some things around, he ends up with no midrange or woofer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He veneered the top and sides of the boards. I felt like I was doing surgery. I covered as much of the veneer as possible while soldering. I also charged for the autoformers and extra for packing since they were going across the border. I think actual labor was $200 per board. He’s basically selling for cost of the parts. Pretty good deal from where I’m sitting.

Ever build anything like this before?

@mikebse2a3 https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-do-these-two-charts-come-from-amps-with-essentially-the-same-thd-n-measurement-1khz-5w-4-ohm.45551/ I went straight to the 7.2 receivers at Best Buy, since those products used to be the worst offenders. They don’t even list the test frequencies anymore, just give you a total power number. I looked through some of the Chinese built tube amps on Amazon. Same - all you get is a total power spec.

You will get a bandwidth specification, but I’ve seen plenty of amps and receivers use “x amount of watts at 1 kHz” when rating power.

Label is wrong. These are modified AA’s. Theta film and foils with 6dB attenuation on the midrange. About $650.00 shipped if built today.

That’s awful.

Good thread. If Jensen was still around I would still be building with them.

Don’t know if he’s involved with any of the day-to-day stuff but he is 81. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Vintage rule: replace part with like part. Your capacitors are metallized polyester - you can get a kit from JEM Performance. Link is at the top of the page. Going to a polypropylene film and foil is smoother, but also much brighter.

Yes.
