The Bose sounded horrible. What microphone did you use for that?

Bose sucks

That is a really well written article Dave, I really enjoyed it!

That wasn't thread drift, the ratings/sensitivity thread was ugly and contentious, was just trying to head that off at the pass. Then Chris had his statement about standards, KGI, and the Sr. Delgado which I tried to answer, and now we should be back to square one. Drift Away Day after day I'm more confused So I look for the light in the pouring rain You know that's a game that I hate to lose I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time I don't understand the things I do The world outside looks so unkind I'm countin' on you to carry me through And when my mind is free You know a melody can move me And when I'm feelin' blue The guitar's comin' through to soothe me Thanks for the joy that you've given me I want you to know I believe in your song Rhythm and rhyme and harmony You help me along makin' me strong

Completely.

He's just asking questions, in the wrong place, but just questions, so I take it that no one has anything to add on @twistedcrankcammer subject?

A company has to purchase the "book" from IEC, used to be 12K. AES went to making their standards available to anyone who wants them, not just members. Roy and Kerry both stated in the thread about sensitivity ratings, how they test, etc. is from AES because that is what they are members of, some of them life members. Maybe you didn't see the thread. The main reason for bringing it up was a thread crap, if you want to discuss standards and methodologies there is that other thread or you can start another one. It doesn't have anything to do with Roger's OP. Everyone knows what KGI is, I have been dealing on transactions with them related to the Museum and then abbreviate Klipsch Group, Inc. to KGI. It's 3 letters vs 7 so it will probably be force of habit for a while. This has to do with putting Heritage on products how? I suggested naming it a Delgado because it is thin and to honor Roy's work on the speaker and the II. Roy came back "more like Sr. Delgado." It was in two separate threads different than this one. Why bring it up here? If you have any more questions or want to discuss something further post it in the appropriate thread or shoot me a PM and I will be happy to discuss it in the appropriate place.

I went from S3 to the Note 7 awesome phone until they started catching fire. Got the new Note 7, and they made me give that one back too and they gave me a S7 Edge I think. Nice phone. Sorry I can't help on 5 and 6 Marty, but get a case for it whatever you do, you will thank me.

Agree with most of what you say here, except your diversion off the path of Heritage into ratings which was throughly covered in another thread. KGI doesn't use the "international standard", as Kerry and Roy explained, KGI uses the AES standard. Travis

"Extended Heritage" has been used going back to the inception of this Forum. I have been unable to find out whether that term was an official marketing term from KGI (which I suspect) or a term coined by a forum member. You should all be aware that KGI, both in marketing and on webpage has included the Forte, Chorus, Quartet and Academy going back to at least 2003. Someone should ask the Historian if he knows when Heritage was created, and by who? If Extended Heritage was an official designation of Klipsch. Found a thread on this identical subject: "Defenders of the erstwhile Quasi-Heritage faith!! Raise your glass in victory, and with pride!!! Yes, we who scraped and clawed and begged to be considered owners of Heritage speakers, who have been kicked to the curb far too often, can finally stand tall and proud, chins up, non-horn-loaded bass speakers leading the charge!!! Of what do I speak? Cast your eyes upon the revamped listing of Classic Classics, in the Heritage sub-category, and what will you find? Our beloved Forte, Quartet, Chorus, and Academy sharing disk space right alongside the likes of Heresy, Cornwall, Rebel, Shorthorn and even the 50th Anniversay Klipschorn! It is a day that will live forever (or maybe until the next post). Carry On!!!!!!" member. I think the time to be pissed off was 14 years ago, Maron (RIP) had some strong thoughts about it. I think today the thing to do is point out to KGI that there is a bit of a blur, and there really is, as to what they call Heritage on their own website. @Deang had a very practical approach which I really liked, which would still be true even today: I don't know why everything always has to be so complicated: If the speaker is called by "a name" -- it's Heritage. If if has a letter/number -- it's not.

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your awesome setup. As you probably are already aware, a typical movie scene will have 80% of the information coming through the front center. It's what gives the illusion that the dialogue is coming out of the screen. There are some scenes where there will be zero coming out of either the left or right, as in a scene where dialogue is between to actors towards far side of the screen. As suggested, I would try moving it up just to try it out and see, if you prefer the floor, move it back and be satisfied in knowing it sounds great to you. Maybe some of these more knowledgeable folks can recommend some good reference movies or discs they recommend and can describe what they are hearing through the center. Welcome to the forum. Travis

That was, and is, still one of the best threads done by @BEC

See that @Chief bonehead, momentum is gaining for the Sr. Delgado, might have to start drafting my petition soon.

Here is one I always liked As long as man brags of conquest, man will claim his “great discoveries”. To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard. In this fast growing art of “high fidelity” the quackery will bear a solid gilt edge that will fool many people.

@JRH is migrating from KGI email to Museum email, I am sure he will have an answer for this.

Don't forget "Diet is the key to longevity—but also sex, naps, wine, and good friends." Science http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/04/150412-longevity-health-blue-zones-obesity-diet-ngbooktalk/

Become a Seventh Day Adventist and move to Loma Linda CA, highest longevity in the US, and one of top five in the world. http://www.aplaceformom.com/blog/2013-03-29-where-people-live-the-longest/

Not factoring in stress is unscientific. If you have a high stress job, and don't deal with it diet is going to have less of an impact. If you had to picture where heart disease would be worse in the country, where would you think? main.pdf

Jim Hunter would know. No. 13 is part of the Museum collection of the Klipsch Heritage Museum Association. If you post this question in the Ask the Historian section, and link this thread, I am sure that @JRH can tell you all that is know about is based on the archives. Travis

For good reason, they look nearly identical to two types up there that are deadly poisonous. You have to cut them in half lengthwise to tell them apart, and you have to know what to look for.

Which never gets too old. Used that line every time someone says they were from Jersey, I either get a response, "yous from there too" or a friendly laugh.

I have edited the offensive posts and language, as well as the completely off-topic ramblings of some of the posts in this thread in order to save mcobb3's great thread (and those who took the time and effort to respond and post). My apologies to new member mccobb3 for the juvenile behavior of a few people who got bored last night. This is not how we usually act towards a new member, who is obviously a fan of Klipsch. To those of you who have had your posts edited, some appear as complete nonsense now so feel free to go back and edit them, but keep within the terms of service (language) and that it is on point with the OP. Carry on my wayward sons

I bumped an old thread so that it would pop up where you could find it. You may have to PM CANT directly to get a response.
