I have cardboard boxes with crumpled newspaper in them all over the house. Also have kid's backpacks, unused speakers, dirty clothes, and misc. pets strewn about. Hmmm...I guess maybe I'll toss all that crap behind my speakers...might improve the sound. Everyones coming over for Thanksgiving, anyway. Kill two birds with one stone: clean up the house and tweek my system. Thanks, Ray! fini

Doug, I know this is a charged discussion, but drills are boring. fini This message has been edited by fini on 11-13-2001 at 09:41 AM

Jim! You're back! I thought, maybe, a Cornwall fell over and sqwashed you! (Obviously you were just tweeking your Clits---OOPS!---Klipsches!) Better stop---that typo is TOO graphic... fini

Sex? Oops, wrong forum.... fini

HATED it?? Are you kidding? To each his own, I guess, but I LOVED it. One of the best films of the year---I'm serious! fini

How about an ad in a women's magazine, like Ladies' Home Journal? It could go something like: "Ladies! Surprise your husbands and rid your home of those big ugly boxes they call speakers! We'll come in while hubby's away and replace those outdated eyesores with barely visible, tiny cubes! Just think of the room you'll have for things like quilts and figurines once those klunkers hit the road! (Prices slightly higher for REALLY big speakers.) He'll be so impressed!" fini

Tom, I doubt the problem is your shorts. I still maintain the opinion that it has something to do with your socks. fini

Lone Palm, In Costco the other day, I saw a compilation CD set of George Martin-produced music. Thought you might be interested. fini

This has nothing to do with Klipsch speakers (or even audio in general), but it's a cool site. Click on the city closest to you and you get a list of times that you can see the ISS (or shuttle, if it's up) right from your own backyard! There may be some of you with kids interested in space (mine aren't---I'm the only one in my family willing to go out at 5:30 AM and stare at the sky). Any way, here it is: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/SightingData/sighting_index.html fini p.s. I think I know where HornEd is: on board the space station, trying to fit something other than in-walls into their audio system...

TheEAR, Now yer speakers are ready to be trudged (is that a word?) around in that Montreal snow, eh? Take off, fini

Be honest--do these grills make my Cornwalls look too big? fini

All mine are OK (fronts and center). Call Klipsch, they're probably still under warranty. They might ask you to go through the dealer you purchased them from. Then again, it may be something not to worry about. Trey at Klipsch will know. Good luck! Let us know what you find out. fini

mcuevas, If you are running the speaker wires in the wall, you're supposed to us "in-wall" wire. It has special qualities (relating to fire codes, etc.) that make it appropriate. It's available everywhere speaker wire is sold (Best Buy, Good Guys, Home Depot), and even comes in 4-wire configurations (for bi-wiring...are Quintets bi-wirable?). Hope this helps. fini

Taking a stab at the delay time. Using a $5 calculator and 186,300 miles/second speed, I came up with a delay in 5 feet of 0.00000000508 seconds. How'd I do? fini

Found in the Sacramento Bee classifieds. 2@ $800 ea. (916)728-2538. I'm not in the market for these, but I'd sure like to see 'em. I'M looking for squirrel fur Cornwalls. fini

Geeze, I use Netscape and I have a Denon. Boy, do I feel like a dork. I'm gonna go hang out with the squirrels. They like nuts. fini

Why, they even let nuts like myself to post here! Good ideas, Ross. Now if they could just make the site more Mac/Netscape friendly... fini

It's the squirrel. Get rid of the squirrel. fini edit: Remember Ray's problem with "Furry Vibrating LaScalas?" Well, that may have been caused by squirrels, too. Possibly chipmunks. This message has been edited by fini on 10-27-2001 at 10:00 AM

Jim, are you telling us that your wife won't let you sell a piece of audio equipment? I think MY wife would be happy if I sold ALL my gear (and replaced it with something small, cute, hidden). I don't even have any pals around here that are into this gig. I'm very happy to have YOU all! I LOVE YOU, MAN!!!!!!! (don't worry- I don't drink Bud Lite) fini

"Austin Powers International Man Of Mystery." That Swedish-made penis enlarger is awesome in DTS. fini Sorry, just trying to get a rise out of ya...

C'mon, Jim. I'd NEVER do that (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) yer "Corny" Pal, fini

I'd keep the receiver and speakers you've got. Spend all your available cash on a bracing system to keep your head in the sweet spot, or on interconnects. fini

Colin, I second "All You Can Eat." k.d. lang kicks Diana Krall's butt (Figuratively, but probably could literally, as well. Now THERE'S a pay-per-view I'd actually pay to see!). The LAST cd, though, was Tony Rice "Unit of Measure." fini

kh, You know, to some of us, a trip to 7-11 for a Slurpie is extremely soulful. Add a corn(wall)dog and you're in heaven. Where IS the love? By the way, Wendy Carlos should post on this site. Boy, does SHE have some odds and mods...Ooops! Love always, fini
