Dean getting two at a time

Dean, where did you get that cool beverage holder?

Lascala and F2. They were very similar.....they were both black!

"Are we at 121 dB yet?"

"You see, it goes inside right here and really makes these babies sing real sweet" says Dean to Piranha.

"what the heck is that?"

Craig getting wired

Amy, Rather than start a new thread, I will just post my photos here in your thread Setting up for Friday night.

Tom, Nice job. Based on your photos, I think I will go for a light stain to keep a high contrast.

"What they showed us was very obviously proprietary information and since they want us to keep it quiet I will!" Well said, Scriven.

Cyclone, great shots!

I second the kudos. Trey, Amy and the rest of the Klipsch folks did and outstanding job preparing and executing the Saturday event, not to mention, breakfast, lunch, dinner and a show! THANK YOU KLIPSCH. The emphasis on the Heritage was great IMO, and to get a 'sneak peek' at what is coming was really cool. It was also very reassuring to see that Klipsch has a commitment to the Heritage line. The Synergy room was also impressive. A lot of bang for the buck. My most favorite activity was the A/B blind audition. Many of us had requested this kind of comparison and Trey came through! Did I mention that I had a great weekend in Indy?

I think I will sand mine by hand using a sanding block. Some of the lettering may be a little fragile and I think I will avoid a power tool.

Cyclone, Too bad about your delay. If you get bored, put on your tie, and walk around and flash people the underside! I was very lucky. I was supposed to return to DFW through Chicago arriving in DFW at 11:40. I tried to get the direct flight but it was completely booked. Then just about two minutes before the DFW flight departed, they said they had one open seat. I got home three hours early

That was probably me. I said I would spray paint the front black (flat black) and sand the front. I would start with 100 grit to remove the paint, and then move up to 220 and then 320 before application of stain and varnish. I used that technique for an 8th grade wood shop project (geez that was in 1973) hopefully I remember correctly!

I'm using a 99B for my center Cornwall with a 299D for the R&L Cornwalls. The signal to the 99B is from the derived center out on the 299D. The little 99B has a real smooth sound, and is perfect for that purpose.

Q-man, That is good advice I am sure. My son really likes getting involved in projects like this. I'm sure he is learning more than I even realize. Kids do have critical ears, and when they get accustomed to hearing good quality audio, they can be as discriminating as we are. Yesterday, my 4-year-old wanted to listen to some children's music CD. I started to put his CD in the Walkman with headphones and he said "no" and pointed to the Cornwalls!

Al, Nice graphs, thanks for posting. I wonder if the K-55-M would make much difference? I know that I do not hear a "hole".

I'll bring a DVD Audio player.

I don't think there is any doubt that the K400 horn leavs a bit to be desired! It's been demonstrated many times. Al k. ---------------- Bob, great workmanship on those assemblies . BTW, I decided to remove the Dynamat in favor of the caulk.
