Travis In Austin

Going good. Austin is, well, Austin. How are you all doing?

Yep he is here, @MMurg

Your link (at leas for me, didn't embed) So here is it again:

What you thinking about you yesterday Jeff. And Bam, here you are.

Congratulations to Mike on being the high bidder. Thanks again to @bhendrix for donating these to auction off.

Glad you asked, ask during Q&A on Thursday if you are around, if you are not around, send me tha question, will get it asked.

Wrong-if it’s under a patent, plenty of instances of people making a patented product, for their own personal use, and being financially annihilated because the mere making of a patented product product is infringement. Assisting someone in doing it is civil conspiracy which gets them financially annihilated. Paul Klipsch defended and enforced his patents with a vengeance, and when they expired he defended and protected his trademarks with a vengeance.

@mikebse2a3 Thanks for posting. the Listening Lounge Mike is a little mistaken, there was a reserve, but as @DeanG Crossovers said, it has been met, so it's off now. I think what he really meant to say is that it essentially had a "no minimum" because we started it at $100 The cut-off time will happen during the Listening Lounge,link below, (also on Museum Face Book page) .

Klipsch speakers are in dozens of studios. They were in 2 of the biggest mobile recording studios of the past century (the Enactron Truck and His Master's Wheels).

I merged this thread with the one you started in Jan. of last year on the same subject so you, and everyone can follow along with the chronology. I don't think you are going to find many folks here, or in other audio forums, that are going to have modifications for brand new Cornwall IVs that actually own CW IVs and have actually done the modifications. There are dozens of posts by people about modifications on CW IVs, but they are ALL ads for selling you or someone else's wares. By the way, in audio, like a lot of things, asking someone if they have tried a change and found a benefit rarely provides you with any useful information unless it is accompanied by measurements or an objective comparison. "Objective comparison" means a well set up blind test. Floyd Toole has written extensively on this, sighted comparisons of speakers on preference are absolutely useless. Doesn't matter what the experience level or background of the listener is. This area is called "Psychoacoustics" if you want to dig deeper into it. Our brains will tell us something is different whether it is or it isn't. This was echoed by the Father of Acoustics, Leo Beranek: Beranek's Law It has been remarked that if one selects his own components, builds his own enclosure, and is convinced he has made a wise choice of design, then his own loudspeaker sounds better to him than does anyone else's loudspeaker. In this case, the frequency response of the loudspeaker seems to play only a minor part in forming a person's opinion. L.L. Beranek, Acoustics (McGraw-Hill, New York, 1954), p.208 The only way to know for sure is a blind test. On the changes you are talking about, 100% of the people can't pick out a difference better than chance (guessing), and if there are one or two who can identify a difference, their preference is across the board, no correlation to the "improvement" You can purchase modifications that will cause enough of a change that almost 100% can tell a difference. Whether it's an improvement requires a well-set-up blind test (volume matching, etc.) to see if the preference is the original or the modification. Why? Because people who spend money on something that changes the sound of their speakers will ALWAYS say it sounds better. It's why PWK insisted on measurements, why he figured out a way to accurately measure distortion in speakers, identified the different types of distortion, why he built an anechoic chamber in his lab, why he published his curves with his speakers, etc. If you want to sort out the Bullshit from the people who are trying to sell you the latest, greatest modifications, upgrades, etc. ask for the curves/measurements on the before/after. If they say, oh well . . . you know what, never mind. This is what you do. Go out and buy some $100 per foot, heavy gauge wire, and rewire one of your speakers, have a friend/family member set them up so you don't know which is which, and then listen to them, left, right, etc. Pick which one sounds better. Repeat that 3x or 3 weeks (each fime a friend or family member changes up the speakers). You are truly blind and give it a fair shot. (You may need to determine if there is a room preference for left and right, but that's a different story for another time). The other thing you can do is get an active crossover for one side, and 6 channels of amplification, and see about the differences you can make with that and what your preference are on slope, crossover points, and EQ. You can tinker to your heart's content and never mess up the original design.

With 5 posts you can PM @DeanG Crossovers or @Trey Cannon Ex-employee

I will be happy to move them @Sharkmatic if you want, or if you want a better idea on pricing first and then you can start there when ready, let me know.

Did he hack your eBay account also, he was referencing an eBay account with "same name" with "20 years of solid reputation." You may want to take a look at that if you haven't already. Thanks to @yikes and away and @zenghost1 for quick reporting and @TheRealAdamHart for confirming the SCAM.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUICK WARNING
