August 29, 2006 I just ran across your search for a Harman Kardon AVR 70. My aunt died earlier this month so I placed a bid on two of HKs since they ended while I was at the funeral. I expected not to win either. I ended up winning both. I plan to keep the weaker wattage AVR 5 and sell the AVR 70. It has been tested on my DCMs and sounds great. I just don't need that much power for my TV. If you are still intereste I can sell it for $70 with $35 shipping for FEDEX second day Air. I live in the Dallas, TX area.

EMINENCE PSD2002S-8 HORN DRIVER How about this driver for about $70.00 Anyone tried it???

Am I glad that this one got started. I was going to start one. I have K-5 horns and k-400 horns and k-401 horns...My subjective experience & opinion is as follows. In a perfect world or should I say in my world, I would prefer the K-5s for large Classical music or large bands. I would prefer the k-400s for flutes and turmpets and I would prefer the k-401s for voices, especially women, and violins and cellos. I feel that there are some differences in my system between the three horns.The k-5s make the sound stage about 50% taller than the k-400/k401's. The k-400 seems to have more push and the k-401 is a bit raspy. However, it may be just raspy when raspy is desired. Violins sound like wood with the k401s and not quite so with the k400. I think that a k-5 in a Belle for a center channel would be out of this world. It probably would make the Belle as tall as the Klipsch's if they are driven by k-400/k-401. When it coves to the drivers, I personally found that the k-55-v and k-55-m perform equal to the original k-5 driver.This was to my ear and not to test equipment. The fact that the k-5 calls for 500 HZ crossover does not seem to matter to my ears or any one else who has heard my systems. In fact, I think it was crossed over at 500 for the driver not the horn. The k-5 makes people sound bigger than life but is right on for large bands or orchestras. What does bother me is the placing of the tweeter in the middle of the horn. The k-77-m will not fit there without killing sound. I mounted mine on one side just outside of the horn and farthest from the side walls.

http://www.rivesaudio.com/home/home.html Check this site out. I have an analog Radio Shack analog meter and with the CD that Rives Audio sells you can get very good results. THey have 'skewed' the frequencies so that the readings will be correct for the analog rat shack.

You can get a TT on e-bay. Plug it into your preamp and plug the preamp into your computer...I use windows xp. Buy a copy of MAGIX audio cleaning lab. It's $50-99 dollars and made in Germany. Use Magix ACL to load the record to the computer. You then can clean it's sound up and enhance it's sound to your heart's content with Magix ACL. Then burn it to a CD. I have done this many times and they sound much better than the original....especially if the original has clicks and pops and other noise.

this is a test...thanks

and a two...

and a one....

Check this company for wires. They have reasonably priced copper,tin and silver. Go with a 12 gauge. http://www.knukonceptz.com/

My God.........one million answers for one problem...now it's one million and one. I have owned Klipschorns since 1969. I have swapped out from metal klipschorn midrange drivers to wooden klipschorn midrange drivers to composite Klipschorn midrange drivers. Each switch made the Khorns sound different. In 1969 I found that I had so much bass I was praying for less..The McIntosh tube and Marantz Solid State...........drove bass beyond good taste. Years later I tried a Hafler 200 and an Aragon and there was much,much less bass. Once I switched from records to CD's, things began to sound more 'brittle', but they were clean and without pops and cracks and all that junk now put in most records. I have used every driver that Klipsch made from 1954 to the present..Things change with each driver...more or less. I have tried almost all of their crossovers also..same story.I have tried cheap CD players and tried $2000 CD players...........and things sounded different again. I have tried the Klipschorns in about 5 different houses that I have owned. I have tried them on the narrow walls and the wide walls. I have tried them with center channels and without center channels. I personally hate wide walls.........but them I am after 'sound staging' truth as I see it. I have tried cheap wire and expensive wire and thing sounded different again................Good wire is where I would suggest you start and I don't mean super expensive wire.............just good thick OFC wire. Remember that sound(even loud sound) oozes out of the Klipschorns......it is not pushed out in your face as with most over speakers... But before you spent one dime on these 1,000,001 suggestions.........listen for a few months without swapping anything around...........After all Klipschorns are only speakers..................They will never be the real thing................I suppose COKE is the real thing.

Has anyone bought cables from www.knukonceptz.com. That may be misspelled. They have OFC and tinned plated and silver plated wire in various gauges and at what seems to be good prices.
