  1. Great information everyone. Can anyone show me Klipschorns or similar photos and the dsp setup you are using?
  2. With the Klipschorns none of the drivers are aligned (and they still sound good). I was just going to get started with dsp delay/eq and tri-amplification about 13 years ago with my first set of Khorns but due to a divorce I ended up selling them and that never happened. I heard an amazing Khorn setup doing that with custom crossovers and it was amazing. They are the tweakers dream and I don't mind starting that process all over again. It's just hard to get motivated lately since I have just been enjoying my Altec 604H II's so much without all the extra tweaking other than tuning the cabinet and really good crossovers. I use the sub with both the Klipschorns and Altecs, just adding a tiny bit of a well crossed over sub adds something really nice to certain recordings.... for me anyway.
  3. Anyone have the tweeter on top at the rear to match the mid driver in alignment? How where the results? I know it all can be done in the digital world with delay but I was just curious what people were doing or what gave the best results. Or if most just enjoy them stock "as is" like I have been lately. I intended to start down the tri-amp direction and DSP about 13 years ago with a set of Khorns I had but sold them and never pursued it after that.. Since then I have recently purchased a pair of Khorns and was wondering if it was worth trying again? They are the tweakers dream and I don't mind starting that process all over again. It's just hard to get motivated lately since I have just been enjoying my Altec 604H II's so much without all the extra tweaking other than tuning the cabinet and really good crossovers.
  4. When all is said and done things are worth what an individual is willing to pay I have found.
  5. Some stuff to look at here but I haven't updated it as often as I should http://charleshidalgo.com/
  6. Unexpected time off so it's been jazz all day.... set the lights for a blue mood this morning and before I knew it the day was done. Swapped out the 2A3's for some 45's today. Glorious midrange with either but it's fun to hear the 45's and how 1 watt per channel can sing so good!
  7. After a long "break in" period my Stonehenge V cabinets with GPA Altec 604H II speakers and custom crossovers are home and sounding amazing.
  8. I came across this and thought I would pass it along. Starts tomorrow October 25th https://goldcountry.craigslist.org/gms/d/huge-estate-barn-sale-saturday-at-old/7005372062.html Charlie
  9. Thank you all for the links. I indeed saw this one also. Charlie
  10. Photos, information, location, condition, price, anything?
  11. Thank you. It's been a long wait but it's been worth it. They kind of just walked into my life as I took a long break from searching as of the last few years. These and a pair of GPA Altec 604H II speakers in custom Stonehenge cabinets have always been on my bucket list and in a week or so I will be bringing home the Altecs for which I am having custom 300b amps made for.
  12. I was camping. Money just sent. Charlie
  13. Currently setup with a James Burgess 45/2A3 S.E.T. amplifier (1wpc and 3wpc respectively) easily interchangeable to Burgess Eiclone 6550 triode monoblocks (30wpc triode or 60wpc ultra linear), a James Burgess tube preamp/phono stage, PeachTree Audio 65SE (serving as DAC), Modified AT1240 TT with AT33EV cartridge and Cardas wiring straight to the Burgess phono stage. Media is served up via an Otari MTR10-2, Teac 1040Sl, Akai 280D-SS and Akai X-150D Reel to Reel machines, a PC music server with over 25 terabytes of Hi-Rez files, and plenty of great vinyl selections.
