Name that Tune - No Cheating Using Computer Word Searches

I knew this would happen. By the ticker, I can tell no one is playing. For those who have seen Team America, just put the words to this acronym: JTFC! -
Please give me advance notice of the next unmitigated disaster, because I am very good at those! No problem flying in as long as I can sleep next to the bonfire.....

Bumping for instigations sake! Shame on you Jeff.LOL. Ultimately this will come down to a definition of high end vs. moderate high end vs. low high end vs. middle end (wait, isn't that where the Hobbit's live? no that's Bag's End in Middle Earth, which by the time of the Klipsch Forum days became known as middle end) (wait, isn't that where this started?).

In one of his latest posts he said he would be away for a while, no reason given, none asked.

Pull the triger eh? I can't answer most of your questions except that the least expensive center would probably be a heresy of some kind, depending on your exact Khorn model. Others here will have more specific advice. In the meantime, enjoy the great north!

You said that the Forte II's were the smoothest, but the KLF-10's had the bass you liked for action movies. Interesting enough. Both speakers dig deep but there is a qualitative difference in how they dig to your ears in your set up in that room etc. Do you listen to music more, or watch movies (action) more? Do you have a center speaker and surrounds or are you speaking strictly in terms of stereo? I wish I had the experience of A/Bing with the klf-10's but I don't. I do have a Forte II mains and surround with an academy center and have always thought of a sub as a nice addition as long as it goes REAL DEEP, because there seems to be plenty of bass for the money so far. Don't get rid of your forte's, you will regret it, unless of course you sell them to me at a favorable price! Your location is listed as LA, which in this part of the woods could mean Louisiana or it may mean Los Angeles. If it is the former I could drive there no problem and get those pesky Forte II's off your hands.....

My Landlord is tenting our house! Is my equipment OK?
oldtimer replied to bdbaba's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Ask the exterminators what they recommend. I doubt there would be too much problem, but you could wrap your stuff in plastic or maybe heavy cloth just to be sure. The exterminators do this all the time so they would know by now if there were complaints regarding this. Our place has not been tented by the landlord to my knowledge, someday I guess the whole place will collapse. -

Anyone? anyone? The first hint was for the lp, this one is for the artist: No Garfunkel. Edit: Is anybody playing? The answer is somewhere else on the forum if you can't figure it out any other way. -
I've posted this before, but the short version is that in 1989 I auditioned Fortes and since they weren't in stock, ordered them. Forte II's came instead from Hope. Still use them as my mains and bought another pair for surrounds last summer.

I hear ya. Just thought I'd post it up if anyone was looking for any of this. The 2000 quote seemed suspicious to me too.

The ad says the remote is inop. How much for a working remote? http://dallas.craigslist.org/ele/138570051.html

I am going to try to see him in Boston in April. Tell her to win those tickets! I have seen Corea live before and would say it is worth it.

I thought someone would get this in nothing flat. Here go some more lyrics in sequence from the last: I held this job as a traveling salesman which kept me moving from state to state Well I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette State of Louisiana Wonderin where a city boy could go To get a little conversation Drink a little red wine Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls Dancing to Zydeco -
I always saved my audio boxes (except for the turntable somehow) for moving, but I haven't moved in 17 years. I also have lp boxes (no more than 25 per box for the lp's sake). Unfortunately I have not been able to find more and my collection has grown. Hopefully the resurgence of vinyl will help. I still have the original boxes for my forte II's, and used them to transport the second pair I bought. To me, functional boxes like this are not a bad idea. However, if you want to know if you are one of the million Americans (if you are American) suffering from this troubling psychological disorder, then...... Signs of compulsive hoarding: --An excessive amount of clutter that limits living space. --Difficulty categorizing and organizing items. --Holding onto possessions that seem of little or no value. --Severe anxiety when trying to throw out an object. --Trouble making decisions about possessions. --Feeling anxious, embarrassed or depressed because of clutter. --Fears about needing items that could be thrown away.

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play........Centerfield--Fogerty. A long time ago yeah before you was born dude when I was still single, and life was great. -
you could check out the site for the manufacturer and see what they offered, or does the listing say it is custom (aftermarket)? I agree it looks a little funky for maple, but maybe maple gets funky every now and then.

Jeff you are going from olorin's hint instead of the challenge. I say it is Mob Rules? The hint refers to the genre. -

I can't believe its already BBQ time
oldtimer replied to customsteve01's topic in General Klipsch Info
BBQ is a year round treat! I make a point of firing it up on the coldest day of the year, and the hottest too. For those not in the know, brisket is the ultimate challenge. Getting the smoke flavor in (the ring) is easy compared to keeping it tender. Most will tell you that around 18 hours is what it takes, but that is 18 hours of perfect temperature and constant attention. Done right you just can't stop eating it until you have to. I wish I could make a great brisket consistently with my primitive equipment, but the process is as much fun as the result, it takes a lot of beers you know.....
