Travis In Austin

That’s what I initially thought, but when it comes to the mixing engineer, and to a lesser extent the mastering engineer, there is a debate going on right now as to what if any impact the acoustics of the rooms where this is done (control room of studio, or smaller dedicated mixing room, or even a home studio) and the monitors used result in better/worse overall recordings. Floyd Toole discusses this as part of his Circle of Confusion, in his book and his presentations, and he has been advocating for standards for both room acoustics and studio monitors. However, he says that more research needs to be done. Sean Olive has also written about this, and the topic pops up at AES from time to time as to whether standards would improve the overall quality of recordings. As I say, it’s a matter of debate at AES, the Academy of Recording Sciences and elsewhere as to what, if any impact standards would have.

I worked at Ocean Way in Los Angeles, back when it was Western and United, but the large control room monitors were all Allen Sides’ horn based speakers. What did/does Ocean Way in Nashville have for main and near field monitors?

My money is on one of his kids helped him. Always worked for me.

Let’s go step by step, figure out if it’s an amp/preamp problem which @billybob is checking on with left to right wire switch. If it’s the AMP/Receiver then we can see what the labels/SN say and we can tell him how old and whether they are good to go or if he may want to consider having them rebuilt. Travis

Satisfactory capacitors have always been available from many sources, that’s true. However, the only source for replacement capacitors that have been tested by Klipsch Engineering to insure they meet factory spec, not alter the transfer function, and perform as intended, are from JEM performance if you want the parts and can solder them in yourself or @Deang if you would like him to rebuild your networks with factory approved and tested parts.

Welcome to the forum, it’s sold.

Putting the rest of the schedule that Dirtmud posted above but is cut off.

The first edition was sold on a Kickstarter crowdsourcing platform, and so is most analogous to a “preorder only” situation. However, the Museum obtained some extra copies and there may be a few extra copies when order arrives in the US we can purchase. We will make the details available, pricing, etc. when we know. Thanks, Travis

Looks great!

Who would be the person who would know about CD player/transport for 5,6,7 etc. ? I would thing it would be pretty seedless. Do the have built in DACs with toslink inputs?

I don’t have experience with those, where are you located? We can probably get you the answers. I can split your question off into another thread where it will have more visibility if you like? Travis

You have troble getting into, resoring your account?

Sorry to hear that

Generally, everyone should try and get into Hope by late Friday afternoon. Roy is furnishing dinner Friday evening for everyone at the Visitor’s Center, socializing and music there until 10 ish. Then all day on Saturday between the lab, auditorium and Visitor’s Center.

Thanks for asking @MMurg, it’s going out this afternoon to current sustaining level members this afternoon (which you are one). We will give Sustaining levels members the long weekend to register, and then I publicly post it on Tuesday here and on social media. Travis

Everybody come out okay?

How does it do glass? Oblique angle?

I’ve got one with cream, black face, but it’s in play. So I’m thinking, if someone really wanted it, what could I possibly replace it with? I have to find an “A” level product plus a phono step up transformer, what’s that going to cost these days?

Welcome to the Forum, I’m going to move this to an area where it will get more visibility. Travis

I just approved the "legal" on the final draft. It looks wonderful. The Museum may have an opportunity to buy some extras, and if we do they will be offered up for sale. Travis

Bad ***. That's awesome. Just in time for a Heritage Sub that will match perfectly, and go down to about 15, fully horn loaded.

@wuzzzer and @Invidiosulus please keep flaging the spammers. Unfortunately, if they start the thread, like the Restoring Deleted Music post, it hides the entire thread, sorry about that guys. I don't approve of anybody who posts a first-time message that isn't Klipsch or at least audio-related. What Book are You Reading, Non-profits, etc. they don't get approved by me, if I'm on call when they come up for approval I don't. If they are approved before I see it then need the alerts to catch them. If you haven't posted Klipsch in your first 5 posts I get rid of them. They seem to be sneakier now, they don't post a hidden hyperlink on their first post, wait for a few posts. It is a constant pattern, probably the same off-shore people. Either they make money on the click-throughs on the hyperlinks, or they are trying to find access to also run scams in the Garage Sale. Most, not all, have been less than 5 posts so they can't PM. But there is one at about 15. I have been meaning to thank both of you for what you have been doing, please keep doing it as I can't keep up with all of them. Travis

That's pretty typical, after a restoraition or two most owners go with glass tops for that very thing. Nice music, cocktails, some wine, it pretty easy to see what the drinks are going to end up no matter what you try to do to avoid that. Some some of the next questions you may have might be should you restore to maximize price. I can tell you what the general consensus has been. Unless you have significant experience with wood refinishing, have access to everything you need, it is typically not worth it. For either the grilles or to refinish both speakers/tops. We get about 2 - 4 inquiries a year exactly like yours. Sometimes the speakers look just like what you have, sometimes, brand new out of a box (literally). For those like yours, I don't think the recommendation has ever been do the restoration and sell, always the opposite, not worth the time, effort for the return (unless you happen to own a furniture refinishing/repair or that is already you favorite hobby). Some people hang on to their receipts, other Klipsch paperwork they received with the speaker, if that was passed along you, be sure to mention that it will add a little value. I don't think the speakers would have historical significance that the Klipsch Museum of Audio History would be interested in them, but I will confirm with the Curator, Jim Hunter. Even then, it would be more of a situation of a donation and you could write off their full market value on your taxes. If you are looking for cash, I think the advice you have gotten thus far has been excellent. Put them in the Garage Sale Section when you have established a price, with the location of town or city near you, and they frequently go for a reasonable price. Be wary of newer members, or offers to send you more than you are asking, refund the difference, etc., internet scams using fack money orders, cashiers checks. Anybody how has been around here awhile you won't run into that problem, but brand new members we have no way of knowing. You would want an in-person, cash transaction. No commission, sellers fees with Garage Sale, and people can keep a friendly eye on you. There are some Facebook groups that are Klipsch related, and also Vintage Hi-Fi on Facebook where things like this are bought and sold, again no fees, but SELLER beware. You might be able to get slightly higher prices on those, it is up and down. My two cents. Travis

Bingo, or to Board Members. Can't distribute assets except to another 501(c)(3); a qualified educational facility, or governmental entity. You started seeing "Not For Profit" and "NFP" more to make that very point Duke, not really non-profit, but more, primary purpose isn't profit. Museums, hospitals, the arts like the local symphony, community theater, none of them, continue to operate unless their revenues exceed their expenses and they establish reserves.
