Tubes Horns and Buds

Hey Rick, Caitlin Bree wanted me to tell you hello.

Northshore, The review I read for the DVDO HD+ was with your Sony 51 projector. The reviewer called this a 'must have'. http://www.projectorcentral.com/sony_vpl-hs51.htm I have seen the unit available for just over a grand. Check it out.

Woodog, David was a great guy to deal with and was excited to get the KHorns to say the least. He also has the tubes and , more importantly, the room to do them justice. Malcom, It is easier to type in a message and come back a couple hours later than to turn a screwdriver, lol. I am just curious and wanted to know, that's all.

I am currently looking at the DVDO iScan HD+ after hearing some very positive things about it. I am wondering if it is worth the price tag. Current systems includes: NAD T763 6.1 NAD 5000 Panasonic PT-AE700U Fi X (for 2 Channel) Sony DVP-S9000ES 3 La Scalas and 3 Heresys HSU Research VTF-3 MK2 and some other stuff Thanks-Keith

Just curious, lol. I am done buying speakers. I am going to stick with 3 La Scalas and 3 Heresys. All just happen to be 1977 vintage and was curious to the crossover in the Heresys. The cool weather in NC has me pumped to finish this project. It has kicked back into HIGH gear after the discouraging heat wave in NC. Yesterday was bittersweet for me, sold the K-Horns but picked up my finished LS Center that my distributor finished for me. I think it is as good as you can possibly get a La Scala to look and I am taking a pair to do the same thing to in a couple of weeks.. Will post pics later.

Can anyone help me out with the crossover type. Thanks in advance.

I am going to listen to these locally on Friday. I was going after a pair of cornwalls and the seller offered the Cornwalls but told me I should listen to these first. He said that he preferred "100 to 1" over his cornwalls. I told him that if that was in fact true, I need to hear these. Any opinions on this model vs. heritage speakers? Also, does anyone have a good idea what fair market value? The pair I am going to hear is "in pristine condition, about 20 years old, finished in walnut veneer." Thanks-Keith

I emailed the seller regarding serial # and pictures. He replied with a few pics. The cabs are in nice shape, NOT new condition. The pics of the back of the cabs showed a lot of wear and dust, not exactly new condition. Also, the price is per speaker.

Sale Pending deposit from forum member. Thanks-Keith

The speakers are great. i will post pics this weekend. The dimension of my room changed due to necessary additions along the roofline in my attic. Now I don't have proper corners. Bummer.

I am traveling to Maryland to pick up La Scalas and can help meet or deliver along the way. I also travel into SC on a regular basis. Search my previous post for pics. They are in beautiful shape. email keithmcg@nc.rr.com if interested. Thanks-Keith

I bought WAY too much original Klipsch grill cloth in black from Ralph at Duracrest. I can sell you enough to redo you cornwall grills if you are interested. Keith

Sorry Dave, I just pulled the trigger on a pair of La Scalas in Maryland, so I am no longer interested in any trades at this point. If anyone is interested, I can deliver or meet on my trek to Maryland to deliver the KHorns. If interested, send an offer my way. I can get pics sent to an email, but you can also search previous posts with the pictures available. These will be posted on Audiogon in a couple of weeks, but would much rather sell to a forum member. Dave, if you are interested in a purchase of the Khorns, I am picking up my center La Scala in High Point, NC in a few weeks to make a trip a little shorter for you. Your mint Corns will be easy to sell on this forum, I can assure you. Thanks for the interest. Keith

That is my dilemma. I would definitely sell the La Scala to go with three cornwalls if I were to choose that route. I am also selling Khorns (unfortunately) so I will have some dough left for a nice sub. I have put so much into refinishing my center, I am leaning towards La Scalas across the front. Thanks for the input. Keith

I am having a tough time deciding between the two. I had Khorns planned for the mains but it did not work out and I already refinished a La Scala for use as a center channel (absolutely beautiful gloss black that would make Steinway jealous). I already have heresys for rears effects for 7.1 in place. Any thoughts?

All original, very nice cosmetics. A few very minor veneer ships but all can be easliy repaired. Face and tops are near perfect. These were going in my attic HT to fit snugly in the corners, but due to necessary alterations along the roof rafters, the fit will be too tight. A tough dilemma, build my attic to code or keep the Khorns. Argg. Damn building inspector - I knew I shouldn't have pulled a permit. Entertaining trades for Cornwalls, La Scala, or Belles. Search pics under previous posts if interested. They are snug in my office and it will be a huge ordeal to get the serial numbers. I will do that in a week or so. Just trying to gauge interest before I move these beasts. Send email to keithmcg@nc.rr.com if interested.

Most RTV Silcones are corrosive and are acetic acid based. GE, Dow and Loctite all have non-corrosve versions that are oxime based. Look for Loctite High Performance at Home Depot or an Automotive store.

Rick, You should be proud. Beautiful smile, good taste in music, and she wants your cornwalls.

The Khorn will be very snug and I could reframe the side walls to six feet without much problem. I am going to add another layer of sub floor with green glue. I got a nice case of sticker shock with the quotes I have received, so I going to take my time and do it myself, except subbing the drywall and electrical. I am estimating a four month project.

I totally agree with the opening of Gladiator. I also like any battle scene in braveheart. I love the live music scenes from Almost Famous - Stillwater jamming a little fever dog.

Any interest in these near perfect Fortes? My computer crashed and I lost the pictures. Will post soon. I would rather not take to ebay but I must sell. I am taking offers. Thanks.

I am confused how to use the unit for multi-channel music, dts, 5.1, etc. Is this accomplished by a digital out to my HT receiver?? I use a NAD T763. The sony unit seems to be a great deal, but I need some clarification. I am relatively new to the HT thing. Thanks

Your mom's so strong, she gargles peanut butter.

I'm watching one of my alltime favorites: The Big Lebowski

My trusty old NAD 5000 is acting up and making me a little nervous. Any recommendations? I will be using eventually be driving KHorns with vintage Mac tube gear for 2 channel when my old man decides to come off of them.
