  1. It can be deleted or it can go in alerts. I’m not really sure Maynard would want it here. Please PM me if anyone had any thoughts. Travis
  2. Money and/or ego? I think you have posted here that there is another variable. A change in the popularity of other types of platforms, like Facebook that distorts the perception unless you are active in all of them.
  3. I did ask, and I also had a detailed phone call with a urologist friend from the Klipsch Museum and Forum and he confirmed that. The other thing I wanted to know was what the rate of a false negative was. With these MRI guided biopsy’s they can target areas of interest so it is less than 5%. Travis
  4. They are sold out, the Kickstarter platform was the exclusive way to order this initial premium edition of the book. There may be some extra copies available through the Museum Boom store and we will update on that. There may be other editions and formats available down the road after this projects is completed.

  5. Welcome to the Forum. You will absolutely love those. You will eventually want to change your center to same voicing and then have a sub that can keep up.
  6. Yes they are, but Klipsch, McIntosh, Crown, etc., etc. have them
  7. Probably right, keeping an eye on it.
  8. Problem is you really can’t trust the specs at this point in time. The other is if it’s going into a commercial setting it’s probably not going to meet code because of a lack of safety certification (UL or similar).
  9. I hope he found the. too. I have 10 pair of Lucchese boots. All I wear to court and with suits.
  10. I did, see two posts above. Wishing you God’s speed
  11. Yea but you are a Zen Master, health and exercise aficionado, and world traveler. I wouldn’t say it would be “easier” for you to turn lemons into lemonade, but certainly gave you the right framework to do it. I’m sincerely glad you are at a place where you can type the last sentence of your post.
  12. Tomorrow I get a pelvic mri of the prostate and a biopsy next Wed. My psa is slightly elevated going on 12 months but steady. Urologist said that it remaining steady like that is consistent with nothing going on. After reading this thread I told him let’s just know for sure and do a biopsy. I scheduled a screening colonoscopy for next month, 10 years overdue for one. Thinking of everyone in here going through these things and sharing your stories. Got me to get everything scheduled. Travis
  13. Take a look at Cary, they will even match the wood of your AK6s with special wood trim. They are (or were) a specific Klipsch Heritage partner. Also take a look at tool shed amps, there amps were used by Klipsch with AK6 at a few shows. The fall back is, and everyone knows this, Khorns love McIntosh. All day, every day. There are a ton of Khorn owners with McIntosh.
  14. I would stay the hell away from anything Mr. Carver is doing until he gets the kinks worked out on his new company that he had to wrestle away.
  15. This nearly 18’year old thread about where to buy Klipsch speakers (your authorized Klipsch dealer would be where to start), and if you have speaker to sell (Garage Sale section if this Forum) is closed to further entries. Start a new thread with current information, or a sale item in garage sale. Thanks to those who responded this last week on helping newer folks find the right location. Travis
  16. Sweet! you will get a lot of responses here on this. what’s the budget on the Tube Amp and preamp? lots of Georgia people here.
  17. Unless @Chief bonehead or @Trey Cannon happen to know off top of head
  18. I think @wuzzzer is correct, your best bet is to contact Klipsch customer service and see if they have parts available. Travis
  19. Thread has become a spam magnet, closed to new replies with links, if you have a similar issue or question please post a new thread.
  20. In your very cool floor plan layout (you are clearly an over achiever), you are the beneficiary of having to optimal corners. How far apart will those speakers be? You are running 3 monitors?
  21. Welcome to the Forum, you will want to post this in the Garage Sale section of the Forum. Photos will help, and a list of what the models numbers are of the 11 or so speakers. You can also post photos. Travis
  22. Comparison of JEM caps/DeanG rebuilds vs. a XO with an outside peddler caps? I don’t recall any. I recall several comparisons between the sound before and after they installed the new JEM caps. Some even went to the trouble to install the new caps from JEM into one XO to do an AB before doing the other side. I suppose there may have been a comparison between restored XO and a peddler XO, just can’t recall it. But it would only be a preference, and probably impacted by confirmatory bias. There are numerous posts in AK about changing XO caps, specifically in Klipsch Heritage. This was well before any controversy Re: this issue. I’m talking at least 5+ years ago. What those posts reveal is a preference. Some preferred peddler X replacement kit over their original 30+ old caps (not a surprise, they probably needed replacing), however, several people said they actually preferred the original and described the peddler caps as being “bright” or something else. I think if you factor out the personalities (people involved) and really looked at what people are saying, when it comes to replacing very old caps with tested caps from JEM they all note an improvement. I also feel that when you see reviews on AK of using replacements of high dollar caps in their speakers (regardless of speaker brand) they read like audio cable reviews. Every Forum has its purpose, background and culture. This one in a manufacturer’s Forum to provide a platform for enthusiasts to meet, discuss and exchange without infringing on their business, designs, IP. AK is a general audio forum 10x the size of this one, that is “Audio without the attitude” which is why I have always liked it. You can have an opinion, but you better respect the opinion of others there or you are gone. One XO peddler went there and lasted about a week when he refused to acknowledge/respect the opinions of others. How do you think these cap replacement/upgrade topics would fly over in the Audio Science Review Forum? I think they would say a subjective opinion is meaningless, only double blind testing is of any consequence, etc. I think a poster would be mocked and run out on a rail, or at least patted on the head and explained the difference between subjectivists and objectivists.
