  1. I am sure there is... just maybe not in Ohio.
  2. I didn't like the hook... the bridge was good, but the hook was not that interesting.
  3. economies of scale my friend! I can not wait to hear the review. keep us posted.
  4. Yes... please do. curious poster is curious.
  5. ... uhh... she still has a forum account. In fact, she's a moderator now. /awkward the real awkward comes when we find out that she actually contributed to her own parting gift!
  6. Congratulations... post up your thoughts when you get them.
  7. I am so jealous... we should have ordered them together. how long is the build lead time?
  8. no... there is an Android Klipsch app though, not sure what it does though. the x11 does sound wonderful with the android based mobile.
  9. I think, in general, it's difficult to have an appreciation for something when you do not have any idea of what it takes to make assemble or get to that point. We could be talking about any topic... but we're talking about audio so if you have no context by which to grade the audio or system you might hear, it's no surprise there was no reaction to the equipment. Even when I was young, it was more about what was being played as topposed to what it was being played upon. I also think it can be unfair to think that all "youth" do not have the appreciation... certainly as a blanket statement it is not a truism. Who knows, perhaps someday your visitor might have a flashback to tyat day and ask... "whatever happened to those sleaker you used to have ?"
  10. I owned and listened to Magnepan MG-IIIa's for a couple of decades before acquiring used corner horns from Gary Shinall, on a lark when empty-nesting finally arrived when we again had time for listening to music seriously. I invested in Klipsch Jubilees a couple of months later and I've never wanted to listen to planars again. I regard the Jubilee purchase as the best acquisition I've made so far based on the number of hours/day listening to them since late December 2007. I agree with your friend: live acoustic music is the reference that I use. I recommended horn-loaded loudspeakers here not because I wanted to make my old recordings somehow sound better than they are. It's been my experience that bad recordings are bad recordings--and they don't get better or even more desirable with time. Better loudspeakers always make the listening differences between good and poor recordings even greater. C'est la guerre. Chris And this is my PERSONAL definition of "Accurate"...
  11. And this is why I fully plan on having a Mono set up some day with a single KHorn or perhaps an LS. I even have the corner all picked out all ready.
  12. Hmmm.. vrd's and jupiters. Someone has been thinking the exact same thing I have been thinking of
  13. he revised the soundtrack... thankfully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlXGU20F-ME
  14. Just in terms that do not take into account distortion, don't horns have a tendency to cause more of what is known as beaming... As a function and of the directionality/focus of the lens itself? meaning you have to get that under control to gain more listenable set up.
  15. Life. round and round we go... where it stops, nobody knows.
  16. 410 for a 103? it doesn't happen to have the region free mod does it?
  17. ^ this... I have heard mono that is credibly detailed and quite nice sounding... it just happens to lack great dimension and is very flat, yet still crystal clear and detailed.
  18. 1" sidewalls AND braces?
  19. very clean... if it weren't for that obnoxious velco on the face of a decorator.... thanks a bunch NASA>
  20. oh my... those are beautiful
  21. very quick... congrates to both parties.
  22. the toggle switch makes it look like it's ready to fire a cold war ballistic missile.
