  2. Black is the new white...
  3. No, about a year ago I sold some Palladium P37's in the espresso color. These were new after that, US built in merlot. Yes, i remember... thank you Good Luck, they are beautiful
  4. I knew this thread would get wacky...
  5. Planar Magnetic Headphones Proprietary Planar Magnetic Technology Life-like, Natural Sound Quality High Sensitivity & Scalability Plush Padding & Reduced Weight for Exceptional Comfort
  6. have I not seen those same pictures before with another listing? maybe not, sorry
  7. My RC64 didn't come with any "Rubber Feet... or maybe I just didn't look deep enough in the box. +1 for no rubber feet
  8. QUALITY pictures and a location help
  9. OMG... I don't know if you noticed, but I think you caught a picture of BF.
  10. Sony Pure Audio Bluray Initiative...
  11. I continue to be impressed by this cell phone camera...
  12. how does core efficiency change by placement differences?
  13. funny... I found a copy of FCA at the local goodwill on vinyl, I had been looking for one for some time on eBay... I wasn't to impressed with the sound quality, overly saturated in the HF section of the recording.
  14. I can't see one reason to "compare" the la scala in your set up to the RF83's in your set up... not one. Other than perhaps Morbid curiosity. congrates on your new setup
  15. Best... Best for what? in general terms, I am probably staying in the Pioneer and Marantz families and disregarding most other makers.
  16. I haven't run curves on the Khorn because I'm no longer interested in it. I like horns that fire in your face rather than crawl on the wall. I would not have a Khorn, LaScala, MWM, or my own Quarter Pies without two or four Tapped Horn subs, PERIOD. The only way to combat room modes is to have properly placed subs around the room, whether they are horn based (like mine) or not. It's also possible the Cornwall would benefit from an Eminence 15C, but that's not on my radar either. Some people just like a hump at 90 Hz. and a dip between 300 and 600 Hz with higher IM distortion., and call it "slam," but not me. I like ALL horns, and big is the key. A Belle is a LaScala with a shorter midrange horn and a Xover which is 100 Hz. higher, so it benefits even more from this upgrade. The "fire it at the listener" is part of what makes the Jube, the LaScala, Belle, and MWMs with subs better than the vanilla Khorn, IMHO (unless you do tri-amping with Digital Xover, PEQ, and Time Delays, then all bets are off wioth the Khorn, but the Jubilee is still better). If PWK were alive, I would argue the point with him. He was human and wasn't always right about everything. But he was right about so many things and was a huge influence on me in my youth and even today. I had two pairs of Khorns and really enjoyed them for over 30 years with a mono LaScala in the middle, just like PWK's system, which I heard at his house. Compared to what I have now, I was bathing in my own ignorance and apathy. BUT in the age of multi channel digital sound, infra sonic bass to a single digit Hertz and super subwoofers, all the bass horns (and 99% of speakers in general) roll off too much for my taste and all require subs. If the music only goes to 41 Hz. from the E string on a Fender Bass, fine, but it's usually rolled off until that point, when all science says it should be rolled UP. None of the Klipsch speakers or any other brand, for that matter, do this. There's been bass capability in CD's down in the teens for 30 years, and very people ever felt it. There are two full octaves of sub bass that I missed for so many years and I no longer have to do that. Those that have it already know exactly what I mean and those that don't will defend their denial to the death (like porting a LaScala, heaven help us). It's a free country. The only thing I'm sorry about is it took me this long to figure it out, but I had other priorities in my life, like feeding my family. If the sub bass capability is there, and the music doesn't ask it to do anything, it's still there waiting until a time when it does, and I like to be ready whenever it happens. Whether I"m playing a plane crash, fireworks, dubstep, or crappy recordings from the 70's, speakers should not limit the bandwidth of reproduction in a listening room, period. Great bass below 40-60 Hz. costs as much as the entire system to do "right." Very few people are willing to pay the price, and that's ok with me. BUT, regardless, you must get the midrange RIGHT. I have been spoiled by K-402's. I'm jusst trying to help everyone work up to that reference standard without all the R&D I have cone through at my own expense of time and dollars. I know this is my own form of Heresy for some, but I have ears, and tons of curves to prove it. I have an engineering background, so I make no apologies for my opinions working against the industry's "emotional testing" the incomplete opinions that accompany those methods. You get what you pay for and internet information is free, so unless you prove it to yourself, it's all worthless, even from me. I only seek the truth. Those who have heard and felt horn bass and sub bass from an all horn system want to go home and throw rocks at their DR woofers. I tried to compromise also, but it didn't work. In the meantime, PWK said the "midrange is where we live" yet, even though the speaker measure OK in the range where the woofer section hands of the duties to a midrange horn, the response just wasn't fast enough to match and I'm trying to help people fix that for even greater enjoyment. My cause is noble. WTH is with the wall of text... this isn't a confessional, just a simple question of does it work or not.
  17. 7 pages in the span of ONE AFTERNOON... this is sick does anyone ever just try stuff to see if it works?
  18. then I made point clearly and someone seems to have "gotten" it.
  19. Me to... there is money running around out here. I think maybe the market is slightly soft here because of the horrid economic situation over recent years. Perhaps Klipsch is not as well known to the entry market even thoguh I have never had any issue selling any of my old speaker sets. I've personally chose to wait because I am supremely happy right where I am right now... the next upgrade, someday, with probably not be to a stock heritage... so buying any of those are a slight step sideways for me right now.
  20. I would buy... Besides the real exotic woods, my favorite are unfinished birch... with REAL cane of course.
  21. I also have found pulling my CWs away from the wall helped with the spacial qualities quite a bit... but I am talking inches, not feet. (Between 10-14 inches). Frankly, I have done the wall of sound thing many times... and while it saturates the LP, it doesnt work for imaging and detail. Obviously HT is much different...
