There is an installation by Dale Chihuly at the house.

A trip to Arizona to see old friends, also went to the top (as far as public access is allowed) of Mt. Lemmon and Taliesin West, the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio inn Scottsdale.

17...yeah...I didn't realize that until later (bought used) Excellent sound

Let's see... 1. Main system in living room theater uses four Cornwall IIs, a Klipsch-derived center, and a Rhythmik sub, in a 7.1 system (rarely used in that configuration) 2. My study, two homebuilt 12 inch Visaton woofers & PRs with Great Heil AMTs; hooked to the iMac and a disc player 3. Partner's study, Cambridge "Satellites and bass module" 4. Garage, two Minimus 7s driven by an old Pioneer and a Sony 5 disc changer from 1995 5. Car, 17 speaker system by Lexicon

I have four Cornwall IIs, and a sub that crosses over at 60 Hz. The benefit is not just "more bass" but the reduction of excursion for the Cornwall woofers reduces the already low bass distortion even further.

The same or more...100vDC is a minimum rating and there are lots of film caps that meet that

Hi there! Displaced former Quarterite myself Do your new rooms have high baseboards like most Quarter houses? If so, are you going to remove part of the baseboard or modify the tailboards of the Klipschorns?

In the 70s they were Pioneers in Radio Shack clothing

My CD changer in my '12 Genesis had discs stuck in it for four years. In that time I learned to use playlists from my iPhone to a Bluetooth adapter. Just got the discs out a few weeks ago. Not much desire to go back to physical media. It's nice to be able say, "Hey Siri, play [name of playlist]" or to get "smart" playlists based on what I played recently.

well, as long as we're talking about sunsets

Thank you Roy! My friend says he is going to live with the un-enclosed versions for a while. He also has a Klipsch subwoofer (I don't know the model) so I think the bass performance will be fine.

Thanks JRH. I believe the prices are "by the each." Interesting to see how Klipschorns have appreciated in the 36 years this was printed, while Cornwalls not so much... PWK used to say, "What's new at Klipsch? The Excellent is new forever."

And of course, Lenny Bruce! Had to listen to it with the headphones so my parents wouldn't get wise, and also to understand some of his speed-augmented words I also have the First Family record by Vaughn Meader, that was a very big deal and then...you know....he also put out a record about LBJ which was not as successful.

Can't speak to the JBL circuit, I know that what I have works for me, the cap is a 5 uF which in this application bypasses the L pad above 8 KHz. I did this to compensate for my old ears, so the Great Heil retains its characteristic rising response, meaning it is "flat to my ears" Infinity used a DC bias in their Kappa speakers crossover about 25 years ago. I'd like to see an AES paper that really discuses this from a scientific POV, and not just marketing. For this to make any difference, the caps would have to be very closely matched and good film types to begin with.

Hi, anyone have the 86 Heritage price list? TIA

Here is one form of passive tweeter EQ. The L pad is bypassed by a cap, and so can flatten out (to an extent) a tweeter's response. Don Keele clued me in to this many years ago.

001 thanks, do you have any pictures of these braces? Yes, my friends living room is not optimal, so enclosing the backs is a must. Anyone have the dimensions required for these boards?

A friend just bought pair of 86 Klipschorns. He wants to enclose the backs. Does anyone have the dimensions of the boards required? TIA

The first movie (with Frank Sinatra) didn't mention that, but the second movie certainly did!

William Manchester's "Goodbye Darkness" is the best war history book I've ever read. He weaves his experiences as a Marine in the Pacific theater with his then-current (late 1970s) quest to deal with PTSD.

You know this is a modern reproduction, right?

Ok, I have a question. Looking at the two traces, the harmonics between the fundamental of 5 KHz and the second harmonic of 10 KHz look to be less with the zeners acting. Also the odd-fractional harmonics between 10 and 15 KHz (third harmonic) look lesser. Clearly there is more distortion at 2nd, 3rd and 4th with zeners conducting. Also note that the "zener conducting" trace seems to have more low-level noise than the "non conducting trace." My question: Given the power distribution of most music, just how audible can the 3rd and 4th be where the zeners are conducting? I
