A question regarding the September 18th cut-off date for address verification/change.
I have an email that states I've verified my mailing address but I have my "Doubter" cap on today so I'm convinced that the publishers don't have my confirmed address.
Is there a way to "Double" check that all is well with my order?!?!
Thanks
JJ
Hey DoubleJ, glad to see I’m not the only one who has Doubter Cap syndrome across a wide variety of projects.
The publishers and the printing project are separate from the Museum, so I don’t have a way to access any of that information. I would reply to the email (if allowed), or click the email link and send your new address so they can confirm. They are very friendly folks and I’m sure would be happy to answer or get you to the right place.

As I said, apples to oranges. You may be good at what you do, but that doesn't carry over into a private listening room. Mastering audio and listening for pleasure are two different things requiring different tools.
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.

Look up Absolute Sound studio Ocean Way Studio@ Belmont U... For starters
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?

Your capacitors may be shot in 1 speaker , Can you use a soldering iron ? if yes.....
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.

The first statement is correct but the second is just an opinion. Satisfactory capacitors can be had from several sources.
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.

Hi! I need one of those. My location is Puerto Rico (00757). Could you tell me how much is it with S&H included?
Welcome to the forum, it’s sold.

I'm confused, is the book 'Sold Out' or is this a re-print ?
Is it possible to order ?
Best regards ... Jef
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

Hi everyone, I’m new here.
After much deliberation and some helpful and somewhat authoritative reviews after the date of the last comments in this chat (i.e. Andrew Robinson, John Darko), I ordered a pair of the Sevens which I received two days ago.
The Sevens is a step up from my current Yamaha set-up and subjectively it oozes quality. I am highly impressed with the sound, which is the prime purpose of acquiring these. For someone stepping up their audiophiliac aspirations, the Sevens, paired with the WiiM Pro make a lot of sense to me. Should anyone be interested, I shall try my hand at sharing my hands-on review.
I would appreciate some views from this forum as to my question:
Does anyone have experience mating the Klipsch 5, 6, 7 or 9’s with a CD Transporter? I have a substantial investment in my CD collection over time and am looking at getting the Audiolab 7000CDT to play my music through the Toslink.
Thanks,
Dirk
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?

We did that, too. Library/Music Listening Room/Home Theater. My wife collaborated on the room design, the hanging of the bookshelves and she built the diffusors.
By the way, I'm baaack! I lost the the ability to post on the Klipsch forum for about 1 year because I had aol.com and felt there must be a way around its incompatiblity with the forum. There isn't, at least from here.
You have troble getting into, resoring your account?

@Travis In Austin - Any update on when registration for this will be available? I'd like to make sure I'm registered before I start booking travel that may be non-refundable. 🙂
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.

It shouldn't do any shiny/refective material like copper or chrome.
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.

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.

Posted
Yes the Klipsch sponsorship of McLaren, officially ended, the McLaren branded products were launched in the last year of their association. The limited edition (Was it 905s) sold out quickly. What’s on the website is what’s left.
