There is a sign on the counter at a nearby UPS terminal that reads "All electronics MUST be shipped in the original packaging."
This must be some kind of UPS policy, as I would not think it would be
up to an individual UPS location to make this determination.
If they claim the original packaging is insufficient, here's the location with the sign:
UPS CUSTOMER CENTER
373 CROSS RD
N DARTMOUTH, MA 02747

Looks like a tie between a clarinet and a trombone, according to this chart.
A clarinet?! They don't list the trumpet - wonder how it compares to the french
horn?

Yep... There is no substitute.

2) Probably something like the picollo. They're REALLY loud (dB wise).

There's a lot of tough guys out there, but surviving a 73 MPH bird strike to the face is quite an accomplishment.
"Fabio got goosed.
``We found the bird,'' Busch Gardens spokeswoman Deborah DeMarco said Wednesday. ``It was a goose. It's dead.''
Fabio is fine.
The Italian supermodel, whose face was bloodied and bruised Tuesday
morning during a ride on the amusement park's newest attraction, was
bashed by a bird as the roller coaster fell at 73 mph.
``At that speed, you'd think a goose would've taken his head off,''
said Virginia Beach Audubon Society President James Rahman."

Wonder if they've tried to patent any of this stuff?

I used to like the rock band Head East back in the 70's. Some good
partying music there. Finally found Head East Live on CD about a year
ago. Still sounds better on the car stereo - some things never change.

He's been going to town on the Klipsch gear ever since I can remember. Here's just the last month's worth...

That's the same guy that bought a pair of Decorator Heresy's ($400+
w/shipping) I was looking at in VA Beach last year. One had a ripped-up
woofer, and they needed refinishing (but no physical cabinet damage).
I thought the same thing - how can he possibly make a profit on those?
I posted one of his auctions a while back, where someone paid $850 for
gloss black (looked like a brush paint job with streaks on the
motorboards) Heresy's with caine grills. A week later, they were right
back up for sale - but no bad feedback was exchanged.
Makes one wonder, it does.

That's exactly what I paid for mine. Plus a tank of gas, and a new
windshield for the F150. A little old lady with a rock in her tire
really "added value" to my Chorus'.[

Here's your chance to rescue a pair from the garbage man. [

Bose 901's
Several varieties of JBL's
Standard Air Force/Navy Exchange offerings. I remember seeing Khorns in
the speaker room at the Subic Bay Navy Exchange (only Klipsch they had
in stock) and thinking "Man, those things are as big as a freakin'
refrigerator!" "Who'd want something like that?"
Of course when I had to move every few years, and had a weight limit
for all of my worldly possessions, I viewed things a bit differently.
-
Was just curious if your strategy had yielded these beauties. I'm in
the market for some Khorns as well, so I'm willing to try anything that
might prove to be beneficial.
Interesting observation regarding eBay dropping the low-priced
completed items early. I'm still waiting for them to add auction
overtime for bids within the last 5 minutes. That would certainly
increase their revenue.
Last fall I spotted a pair of Decorator Heresy's on eBay from an
auction house in VA. With one ripped-up woofer, and ugly (but
physically undamaged) cabinets, I figured they would be easy pickings,
and could have my kid get them - eliminating the $80 shipping cost.
Some guy in FL that seems to make a living selling refinished Heresy's
on eBay ended up paying over $400 with shipping.
I'd love to find a pair of Khorns in the sub-2K range, but I'm talking
pretty ones. I might go a little higher for local mint Khorns - they
would still be a bargain compared to the new "III" series Heritage
prices. I've seen some cheap ones as well, but not in the condition I'm
looking for. The pair that you show here seems to be a nice exception -
I really feel for you on these, as that would have been a killer deal.
I'd have hired Mayflower to go get 'em for that kind of money!
I really doubt I'd walk away from a $20 pair, but the odds of finding
something like that are only slightly better than finding a ZL1 crate
motor in an abandoned storage auction.
Back in 2001, I managed to snag 4 of Sun Microsystems best video boards
on eBay for $120 - which I flipped for $3,600. Think I used up most of
my good eBay kharma on that one.

Interesting, but a bit on the pricey side.
-
I just gotta ask... did you happen to find these with that wanted ad you put up on craigslist?
I have to admit that I snickered a little when I saw you were offering
1K for Khorns, and 500 bucks for Belles. Pretty amazing if that guy
actually bit on your offer!

This POS ripped off a currently running auction - including the title and pics! These phonies keep getting bolder all the time.

Congrats on the Chorus. I have Chorus' and Corns, and there's sure not
much difference in bottom end. When it comes to bang for the buck, I
think the Chorus I is the best value on the used market.

For $405, here's a high-quality remote attenuator from diycable.com
(attenuator by DACT). Takes up quite a bit of chassis real estate,
compared to something like an Alps pot.
I have a remote in my bedroom AES AE-3 DJH, which was a $500 option. I
normally don't adjust the volume during playback, but it's kind of nice
with a changer (quite a difference between some CD's).

And I thought dog eating was an "urban legend"...

Man, that's BEAUTIFUL! How old is that ad? I'd give my left... if ya know what I mean.

Check this one out:
http://www.dynamichometheater.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=VTIAGR404&Category_Code=VTI
It's 268.99 delivered (I paid $100 more for mine), tempered glass, and
built like a tank (will hold 220 pounds on each shelf). Your choice of
black or silver. It comes with 4 shelves, but I only assembled 3 of
them on mine.

Sounds like some of you needed... Charles!

Anyone interested in a Klipsch tour jacket?
in General Klipsch Info
Posted
While it's a bit more costly than a T-shirt, I work with a guy that
does embroidary on the side. He has a couple of CNC embroidary machines
(we're talking serious equipment here - the size of a washing machine).
It would be a piece of cake for him to do a pie slice logo on the back
of a jacket.
If anyone is interested, I can have him make me a sample and post pics. Since the artwork is already done, it's a quick process.
