Travis In Austin

Actually, it's the oceans (70%) with rain forests contributing 28%. If you killed all of the rain forests it would take eons to kill the entire planet. If the oceans tip, the planet would be dead in less than a decade, whether there are forests or not. A slow miserable death. The entire planet, except for plants, with COPD. The Mongols could probably ride it out, along with other peoples who are born and raised above 10,000 feet. They could move lower after other people people died off. The oceans are warming, I think I posted the data on that about a year ago in this thread.

The Stadium is stereo and is Bluetooth compatible. The HD Wireless speakers also appear to accept Bluetooth through control unit.

Well it depends on which version the source of Bluetooth is using. This was a pretty good explination. The key technology to look for is A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile); this is a type of Bluetooth that permits streaming of stereo audio. Although the sound quality of audio conveyed via Bluetooth can be very good, it may not attain audiophile status. In particular, to accommodate stereo audio, data compression is used to reduce the bit rate of the audio signal. This may slightly degrade audio fidelity

My dang autofill, I thought you had asked him several questions over the years, my mistake.

A month ago, he even went to the effort to try and explain it to everyone. If you don't take the time to read his responses, and to understand, you are wasting your time, as you can see, he is too busy to waste his.

Yes it does, but the structure of a religion is probably not a good analogy, you are liable to get scripture posted in response. The culture of this forum as always had a hierarchy. It seems to me it has always been PMK and his four core principles are at the top. Those that were fortunate enough to work and study under PWK and continue on are the second level. It goes back to the inception of the forum, discussions about what is or isn't Heritage, Extended Heritage, etc. all relate to what PWK had his hand in, or didn't.

Then there was this from a month ago. The question should be why is it "tighter" (notice he doesn't say lower, so is it flatter?). What has more excursion?

Then they are asking the wrong guy. They need to ask the Historian.

They did, and they do. I think what he is suggesting to the person asking the question is that they need a full understanding of how testing was done for sub 100 hz FR, than and now. Because @Chief bonehead doesn't answer questions that way, you get the benefit of a Paul Klipsch response, you get a response that leads you in the right direction if you are willing to do the work, and really want to learn. That's how you develop a full and complete understanding of the underlying principles and science. Why the four core design principles are the 4 principles. But you know all of this CePoorman, I am pretty sure you have asked Roy questions you have thought out, what your path was, where you were headed, and he answered. Is the 32HZ of '89 today's 38? Or was he being facetious? I think I asked that question of him, in the context of how marketing was describing the III at CES. He has also compared them to 396'see. He designed and did the specs on the "2" 25 years ago, maybe he could care less about specs of the 2 because he is focusing on making the 3 as good as it possibly could be? Maybe he figures that everyone has a microphone and a laptop these days and people will post their own plots and curves, etc.

He's schooling you like Paul Klipsch schooled him, he answers a question with a question. You can infer nothing. If you want to learn, you have to do your homework, and your research, and come back with a reasoned response. Paul would tell him if he was on right or wrong track, and would ask another question. He is five steps ahead of you, you either really want to learn, or you want to play games. He designed the Forte II, he knows everything there is to know about it. If you want to learn, ask him a well thought out question about the difference in testing, standards and techniques between the time of the testing of the II and today. Otherwise move along.

Dude, quit the nonsense. Prototypes were at CES, as they typically are. They don't quote specs on prototypes to avoid confusion, in people like you who don't understand the difference between a design concept, working prototypes and a final product. Roy, as the Engineer on that speaker has been working on that speaker for over a year, he knows the specs of the prototypes, in very specific detail, but he isn't going to share more than he is comfortable with. He is probably, just guessing, sourcing components. When he gets reference samples of components he will re-spec, re-tweak, until he is happy with it. He knows where the specs will be, probably within a few percent, plus or minus, but he also listens. They spec production speakers, you will get the specifications when everyone else does. Or you can come to Pilgramage and listen for yourself.

Funny you should mention that. http://media.jamanetwork.com/news-item/long-term-marijuana-use-associated-with-worse-verbal-memory-in-middle-age/

Welcome to the forum!

Get a different amp in there, one with MM phono inputs and try it out. Have you tried the radio on the receiver through those H3s?

Almost sounds like the Turntable is plugged into wrong preamp input, if, a non-turntable input. Travis

I really liked the Capitol Records thing as well

@Chief bonehead and @dBspl Top notch

What exit?

Just wanted to let you know it's an option if something materializes.

I probably wasn't clear in the way I mentioned it. The context of the thread at the time I mentioned Points 6, 7 and 8 was speaker design parameters. It seemed to me that 6, 7 and 8 were more towards placement and number in a way to get the full benefit of the fairly new source of sound on the market, Stereo. I have heard Roy and Jim Hunter talk a great deal about Paul's Core Design Principles, and have seen the Cardinal Points article and discussion about it in the past. The Cardinal Points seems to be how to optimize stereo sound with what you have, including some of his design principles. His design principles seem to be just that, about how to design a loudspeaker. He mentions something in that article that I had to re-read several times because I am not a technical person. On page 206 he says: "Naturalness of music reproduction depends on the dynamic range, and horn performance is the best means of attaining such dynamic range." So use horns. No surprise there coming from PWK. Why horns, because they are the best at getting you dynamic range. He goes on to say: "Frequency response was almost omitted from this consideration because it rates about last in importance. Yet more is spent to gain "flat" frequency response than in optimizing other values." Is he saying that dynamic range and other values are more important than flat frequency response? Or something else? Did his 8 Cardinal Points evolve over time to become his core principals of design? How do the 8 Cardinal Points correspond to PWK's Four Core Principles of Loud Speaker Design? High Efficiency Low Distortion Controlled Directivity Flat Frequency Response
