Was that test made with canadian or american beer ? One will get you loaded while the second just sends you to the can all night long . lol Might have to get hold of test subject myself , sounds like fun

Nice !!!! I love the look of the belle , more fitting in a living room then the industrial looking LaScala . I'm confused ? I thought you were with the " Tube head " group around here , all i see there is solid state equipment . What with that ?

Holy crap !! I think erik made a funny

In fact read the Applied Physical Electronics , L.C Quote : " The most attractive aspect of the DEW lies in the fact that an electromagnetic missle is delivered at nearly the speed of light " Some pretty wide stuff there !!!!!

At 7k per pair , i doubt you could sneak one out the back door There 300B pre-amp is a need rig at 5k .

I have just about the same story as above , olny it was a 1970 chevelle malibu SS 454 . Car ended up in one of those collectable auctions way down south and sold for $55,000.00 USD . I could have bought that car for under 15k

LOL !!

Guys there is a test section here for that explans all of this and you can try out your photos there if you like . Some of us on dial up takes forever to get into a thread loaded up with pictures .

Fly on over to the AVS forum and sniff around there for awhile . Those boy's are pretty good at spending money good info to boot .

Gezz, that Rotel is a monster !!!!!

I get a huge rooster from seeing guys like Q-man and Dale who have the guts to carve up and recreate speakers that alot of us can't even afford to buy !! I don't think they are damaging the klipsch name or product at all and i love being able to come here and watch it taking place .Others like tom have watched guys start right from scratch not careing one bit about looks just the improvement in sound . Valuble place this klipsch forum, as far as i'm concerned . I think the mix is just about right .

One big happy family

c) Empty resonant box happens to weigh about 250lbs , under the kickplate is full of small bean bags ( about 25 per side ) inside the back of that chamber sits 2 80lb sand bags and the bass bin is conected via 1/2 threaded rod . ---------------- Guess that answers that ! Have you changed the volume of discharge from the bass bin or do you have a home plate style board that seperates that riser from the klipsch bass bin part of the khorn ? In other words cutting off that extra portion from being an extention of the bass horn .

Yes greg does some nice work .

Looks like a bunch of serial killers

LOL !! I take it your looking for some belles

Good party picture but Who's Who ?? Never met any of you guys so who is this a picture of ?

These really suck but it's all i have in my filing system on the belle . http://www.onthenod.com/LaBelle.gif

Can you say " SCARY " !!! You would never get me on the back of something that big !! I don't trust anything without a fuel tank Nice looking horse though

You have got to be jokeing Is this a gag or you on the up & up here ???

Dale Walker : CLASSIC I laughed so hard i dam near spit out my teeth .

Dude !! your the one sporting for a fight, no need to get all pissy because someone else doesnt play in your sand box. Heres a news flash righ back at you " RUNCO " is not a manufature period , as far as that point goes. They out source from Barco and NEC and rebrand there products . I didnt say your DLP was garbage ( but thats what you want to hear so you can continue this pissing contest ) all i said was the CRT are still ahead of the DLP as far as picture quality. Thats it !!!! That being said , there is no way under any condition that a entry level DLP could compete with a $ 90,000.00 9" CRT with a another 20 or 30k worth of quad / scaler . The 2 don't compare , CRT's have been around for decades and refined to death . DLP's are up and coming , new kid on the block so to speak and they will continue to improve with time. If you want to throw around " RUNCO'S " name then why don't you go to there web page and see for yourself which technoligy they still think is superior . Hence the " APPLES TO ORANGES " phase. If you want to compare a runco dtv 992 or 993 7" crt to todays entry level DLP's , then i would take the DLP . Price point being the same , but were not talking price point here !! Were just spitting at a generalization for the sake of argument . If this would have been my original thread i would have just ignored loadeds post and moved on instead of baiting more banter . I am sorry if i hurt your sensitive feelings by pointing at some simple facts .

Belles selling for as much if not more then khorns , granted they are one of the best looking heritage series but 2k for used belles is ------------- well --------- too much . Scalas do the same job but don't look so pretty , personally i don't look at whats playing my music i tend to listen more . But i guess 2k used is better then the cost of new .

To each his own , like my grandpappy use to say " you got to piss with the c--- you got " . Both front projectors have there place , if DLP or LCD works for you then great , glad to hear your happy . But don't compare apples to oranges . CRT front projectors are in a class by themselves ( AVMAN : I have a BARCO 1208s CRT it's no where near the size of a bettle and i will defy you to find a DLP under $30,000.00 that will come even remotly close to its picture quality ) http://www.monroe.net/~alye/palmeCRt.pdf This is likly some of the best reading for anyone wanting a uplift on projectors , Curt palme is one of the brightest guys around when it comes to projectors. DLP and LCD started out life as graphic and data grade projectors marketed towards the commercial applications , somehow they just evolved into the HT realm . Likly because of their price point , now every other computer manufacture is starting to produce these extremly cheap projectors " MEANT " to be used for data and graphic presentation. BUT !!!! i'll bet you dimes to dollars they will eventually end up in someones basement projecting movies. Just about everyone ( computer manufactures ) is making these DLP's now, DELL comes to mind , HP comes to mind . etc etc etc Not to say the technoligy is not there , it is !! and it's getting better all the time . But right now as of today , the CRT is still the king just like the klipschorn stomps the RF7 , both are great speakers but one can outshine the other in " CERTIAN " areas . I'll give the DLP another 5 or so years , then i'll bet they will be even par with the CRT ( The black levels really need to improve ). Loaded might have had the right idea but poor presentation
