I've been using Media Monkey and been happy. On my PC, Laptop and andriod phone. I paid the 60 bucks for life time gold and have 219 GB of music on it. I've ripped almost all of my CD's on it. Works well and can sync between devises.

Thanks Peredoz, I'm afraid Dallas is a little off my paths.

Where is the location. I'd prefer not to ship and I'd be interested if it is possible to pick up

Hi Hotrod363765, I may be interested in your academy. Where you located, how much do you want and condition. A picture would be nice. I'll try to PM you once I figure out how to do it again. Haven't used it in quite a while. If you figure it out you can PM me.

If I remember correctly the academy is the speaker manufactured to match the quartet, forte II and chorus II. I still own 3 academys, 4 forte IIs and the quartets. They are all timbre matched. Go back about 15 years and read the post from the old members on the forum and those substitutes for the academy were discussed endlessly.

I just gave my son a couple quartets and he would like a center to match. Doesn't need to be real pretty, but would like all the drivers to be solid. The next couple of months I'll be traveling between quad cities ,Des Moines, Denver and Mesa.

Thanks for everybody's input (except for Real Duke, the way I acquired a lot of my vinyl was saving it from a dumpster at the end of a garage sale.) I've been scanning craigslist for book cases. I just don't trust the ikea stuff and I want it to look nice in the family room.

I just moved to a new place and I need something to store a couple hundred albums. I'm going to need about 100 inches of shelving. The place I moved from had nice built in book case. On line all I see is the Ikea boxes and then some special album display cases that cost close to $1000. Will a well built book case that in 12 inches deep work I can't see why not. Thanks.

My son has a RSW 10 sub that he uses with his computer setup. He has now broken off 3 of the grill pins. What kind of glue or is there other ways of fixing them. Thanks for your responses.

Hi haven't posted here for years. I just move to a different house with a different layout in the room where I have my theater set up. Here is my situation, I have 3 Belles with Volti upgrades across the front, two Forte II's for surrounds. I use to have 2 quartets for center backs but my new mancave won't allow it. They are driven by a Marantz pre amp with 11 channel with height or atmos. The amp is a sunfire TGA 400x7. I put up 2 KG 1's for height speakers up front to use the extra two channels in the amp. I have a couple of RS3II's laying around that I could hang up for rear heights if I picked up a 2 channel amp to drive them. I was wondering would it be worth it, will I notice, it is kind of a pain running speaker wire to them. I also don't know if the speakers I'm using for heights are enough (I do know that they do not timbre match. I also have a set of RB 81 II's gathering dust that I could use. I don't know much about height speakers and how much speaker you need. Thanks for any help provided.

Thanks jjptkd I think I'll just leave them off. I don't really care about resale and I won't be using a crt TV.

I'm refurbishing an academy and noticed that both shielding magnets were loose and just laying in the cab. Are they just there just for the magnetic field or do they have a functional role in driver performance? I could glue them back on if need be or leave them off since I'm hanging it as a surround and that would decrease weight a little. I didn't know if they effected the driver sound. I checked the forum and I couldn't get anything to come up. Thanks

I just want a little touch up paint for black academy and forte II's. I've already went the new veneer route on another set. I'm giving these away and just want to touch them up for now and someday may reveneer them for my daughter. The corners are all pretty good they just need some touch up paint. What brand and color works well?

Not being a cat lover (I'm not a hater either I just don't like them in "my" living space) I am giving my daughter and future son-in-law a pair of forte II's . Is there any trick or hack outside of a burlap bag with a brick and river to keep that cat from destroying the grills? I already have the passives covered with a metal grill from parts express. Colterphoto suggested that 15 years ago. I know there are cat lovers on here and I will probably get hate mail, but I hope my daughter gets married, has a kid and decides to get rid of that hairball producing, butt licking furniture destroyer.

Babadono You were not the first to PM me. I posted at 1:56 I got a PM at 2:12 from the person I am giving it to verifying he wanted it with contact information. You did not post until 2:20 and just PM'd me at 2:21 with a question. You then PM'd me at 3:29 saying "i'm interested". I politely PM'd you and said that someone else beat you to the punch and I would let you know if the transaction didn't take place. So I thought I was doing a nice thing for the forum members but I get called out for BS on the open thread for stuff that I already explained to you in a PM. GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Marvel, I already checked that thread and all of the JWC links come up with error. What I really need is the exact size of the port platform. I remember from ancient times on here that there was a lot of discussion about those. I had some talk with Dr. Who about it once. Is he even still on the board? A lot of those old threads are missing since they made the conversion to the new forum platform. I know JWC had a very good drawing of the dimensions.
Thanks tigerwoodshorns but I'm sticking with the k500 since I have them and the point of this was to use up what I have setting around.

I have 3 Bells that I put in the Volti upgrades and Crites woofers in. So I have 3 K33's , k500 horns, 2 k55 m and1 k55 v and 3 k77's gaining dust in my storage. I thought I might build some boxes get some new crossovers and fire them up. They could just as well collect dust that way. There use to be some plans on here but I think they were all prior to the conversion to the new form site. I just need the base bin for the K33's without anything else in the cabinet. I have very modest wood working skills and thought I might just come up with something for my kid that is not too expensive. Any help or links would be much appreciated.

Gone already. Hope they get good use out of it! I always liked it but I did keep the TGA 400 x 7 amp and still using it.

I should have said you calculate the shipping cost and get me a check for the amount. I know it will be a rough estimate we can work out the difference later. The ups sight has the calculator. Once that is done just PM me and I will give you my address.

I have a Sunfire TGP5 I have owned for about 12-15 years. I came home in December and the center channel DOES NOT WORK. I don't know what is wrong with it, I never checked what could be wrong with it, and I am not going to find out what is wrong with it. I bought a new Marantz 7706 and I'm extremely happy. The TGP5 has a good phono stage and HDMI video only switching. All audio has to go through optical or analog connections. All the other channels seem to work, only the center is no sound except for some scratching. I was going to take it to the electronic recycling center but I thought I would put it out here to see if any of you with electronic skills would want it or just use it as a stereo pre amp. You can find the manual on line to answer all questions about it. I have it in it's original box and I will ship it by ups your expense. I don't know what it would cost but it is about 30 lbs and 22 x 22 x 10 inches shipping from zip 61201. I live in Rock Island Ill and pick up would be fine also. I'll try to attach pics.

WTB Academy Does anyone have an old academy or two laying around?
in Garage Sale
Posted
Thanks Nola, That would have worked 5 to about last year. We use to spend January in Mesa and then drive to Bonita Springs , Florida on ten. We laid over in New Orleans a couple of times. I found one in Denver which I'll pick up the end of the month. I am using 2 for front height speakers in my HT. My front line is 3 belles with Volti upgrades. If I stumble into a couple more I'll use them for rear heights in a 5.2.4 system. I'll keep you in mind if I happen to head to NOLA anytime soon.
