Got mine too. Damn near forgot I contributed. Nice sharp corners.
Wish Dave could have seen it. He would have liked it I’m sure.

Small towns have a reputation for dope and love. Which came first? The love or the dope?
We are in the process of getting our hands on some extras, not sure how many we will end up getting, or the pricing yet. But if you would like to be on wait list send me an email

So is Georgia for real? Struggle over GT indicative of anything?

Welcome to the Forum. I believe there is a work around here, but I haven’t tried running Sixes with a Turntable.
I think we can get you some answers, give it a day.

Hi all - first post here on this forum, but by no means a stranger to forums in general so hello all!
Each forum has it's own etiquette so please forgive me if I faux pas in my first post!
Welcome to the Forum.
No faux pas, perfect post. If ever unsure where to post, go ahead and post it and if we think it will get more visibility we can move it there.

Maybe good news. I desoldered the MC908AP8, It doesn't appear damaged, I must have a short on a component. I also noticed that the LM7815CV suffered from the heat.Hey Jean Pierre:
Thank you for reaching out about the size of the text. It is way above my paygrade and tech ability to tell you, other than it looks like you are copying and pasting from a translation program.
I just resized your text, in Google Chrome browser, I hightlghted the text, went up to "size" at top and resized to 12 size font. Hope that helps:

Naming contest? I saw somewhere that someone suggested the Deep Roy, so that could be:
Deep Roy 1/I 2/II . . . 4/IV, or KDR-1, KDR-2
Or, hmmmm, names of Organs that go to C(-1), that’s 8 Hz one in Atlantic City, one in Australia for the two largest subs, there are several that go to C(0), someone said that at one time PWK was aware of every organ in Europe that could hit a 16 Hz tone/note. An Octobass can play 16Hz.
Or singers with a bass voice, the Barry White, IP/clearance problems.

I recommend you wait and not speculate on things that are unknown and haven't even been discussed at Klipsch. They will have to be competitively priced with other top performing subwoofers. The finishes have been discussed, but are not even final. The final design of the XL is still incomplete.
To a degree they will have to be competitive with other top performing subs. But what else is out there that is horn-loaded? in veneers that match Heritage main speaker veneers? Ultra low IMD?
There might be some stuff that’s close, but all four are patented so technically nothing is going to be precisely in the ball park in terms of design and performance is there? (I really don’t know, but am guessing based on people who got the 1802 and the limited run of 1502’s, that there isn’t a lot out there in the horn-loaded bass dept, with that footprint.
However, I missed the class (and no one will let me copy their notes) so I don’t know.
We will know more next Spring/Summer. If you are visiting Hope at that time, pop into your local Klipsch Heritage Dealer and see if they have an update

If you're correct then it will be around the 6000,- Euros here in Europe.
6k for a sub??... 🙄
Let's wait and see but I hope it will be more affordable
He has no idea what he is talking about, someone posted “any guess as to price” and he felt compelled to respond and guessed.
The group at this event are the only ones who have heard all 4 prototypes. Nothing, absolutely nothing, was discussed in terms of price at the class, so your guess is as good, if not better, as his or anyone else’s.

Here is a link to the featured Reference Track for the SubFest Bonehead Class.
Roy was in a quandary, he couldn’t find anything music wise that had a true fundamental in the 15 to 16hZ range. What to do?
You call your resident Renaissance Man if you are lucky enough to have one, and KGI/PAC does in fact have one, Matt Sommers.
Link to the two cuts which Matt collectively named “Deep Roy” with a description of the musical keys, and lowest fundamental frequency.
Enjoy on your favorite system/headphones.
If you are wondering why Matt has such a long silent intro on track 2 . . . well I will let those who were there explain it and what the intro does to the listening room couch.
Enjoy, courtesy of a true Renaissance Man (in the highest Quattro cento sense of that moniker)

Thank you, who would you suggest I contact to request this addition for production models.
@Chief bonehead would be the guy to ask for XLR I/O for plate amp. He will see this at some point.

I'm pretty sure he went to Michigan. Same place as Gerald R. Ford.

Years ago, PWK published some papers on his measurements of amplitude and frequency modulation distortion in loudspeakers and described the resulting sound characteristics of each type. He also described the effect of increased levels of audible distortion in loudspeakers as having a masking effect, resulting in a loss of clarity. He called it the “Mud Index” and proposed ranking speakers on a scale based on their Modulation Distortion measurements. Speakers with higher levels of M.D. would score worse in the mud index.
As to the new Klipsch subwoofers, There ain’t no mud to be found, even when loud!!!
Clearly, someone has a photographic memory or was taking notes.

Pictures would indeed help - I have an unmatched pair of Cornwall CBLS and one of them is not stamped (though fortunately I did have the label); however, I was able to find an employee name rubber stamped inside the cabinet on the lower shelf. Just wish I had the other one - if I did, I would restore them with no spared expense and return them to their original owner.
So one stamped, no label? The other no stamp, but label?
No matter, post a photo of the label, and stamped S/N, take some photos of the backs, showing the drivers and crossovers.
The fact that they are not sequential S/N’s doesn’t have that much significance. If the components match, and in good shape, you will want to restore and enjoy for yourself.

So what I want to know is: Is Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) a thing?

Is the XL is actually a different beast/construction than the LF bin on the Heritage Jubilee? Spec sheet for LFHJ says it's 5 inches wider and goes 18hz, while the new heritage sub is smaller? and goes lower. Noting the heritage sub dimensions are estimated here. Would the lower response be due to different drivers and/or DSP or both?
There is probably only one man on the planet @Chief bonehead who can answer that question accurately.

So do I have this right, no evidence, zero, that Head Coach of Michigan was aware of or had any involvement in sign-stealing scandal. However, because he is "the face" of the program they are going to keep him off the field on game days going into the biggest game of the season.
This demands a Senate Investigation, (Gary Peters is on Commerce I think, it's their jurisdiction).
Is he allowed to Zoom? Or does that go against the spirit of this whole thing? Maybe put him in the mascot suit and have the Mascot hanging around behind the bench a whole lot.

Roy used a Tool (!!??!! 😱) track in the demo. It was complex, crowded and toolish. All of the subs did a fine job of separating plucks, kicks, thumps and whacks. The system really stood out when the La Scalas slid in as all the bass was horn loaded. They do not sound like subwoofers, none of them. You can almost always tell there is a DR subwoofer in a system by "that sound" what ever it is.
These guys have balls!
Clearly analog then, at least if Ray was right.

Should have flown Quantas, best airline in the world.
we loaded up two TSCM’s in my twin about 15 years ago, no issues. Same avionics pretty much, but the antenna placement is entirely different. I don’t think there would be much effect on VHF or UHF, and the key item, the magnetic compass isn’t going to be impacted. It’s in the cockpit behind a bulletproof proof door and calibrated every 90 degrees on a compass rose at the factory before certification is so the metal in the cockpit is factored out.
Remove drivers and take wrap up and pad them and put in a larger check bag?
