Hey Bro! Long time no speak...Yes, I am THE dad, pretty much
the only one - ever. and the spud is showing her first teeth, can
you believe it?I
have those Heresys hooked up and I am
enjoying the sound, those little buggers cook (edit - when the overly
sound sensitive nugget is not around, or her mother for that
matter). I have been trying to do
good deeds for fellow members ever since that excursion you and Seti
took...and I am still listening to his Japanese techno stuff...good
times.Bruce

Been experimenting? Have amp, you want?

Hey,
I thought I would post this here before FleaBay, I have the amp from a 20-39PC+ cylinder sub, it is the 525 watt BASH, in excellent shape, looking to sell.
I would prefer local to Ft. Worth, but we can work something out otherwise. I think given it's shape, $200.00 is fair, plus shipping.

Well Bill, some of your information is also incorrect -
I
have in my possession a pair of Cornwall 2's, not 1's, made from Birch
ply throughout, not MDF - Label Says CW2, composite mid-range horn,
externally mounted drivers, and all - made from birch PLY not MDF - of
course I also have a pair of CW 2's made from MDF but not *all* were
- oh, and as an edit, the label on my CW2's indicate that they were made in 1987!I
don't think anyone would claim to know everything
about anything (at least not the wise), but believe it or not, some
of us have actual visual proof and experience, not supposition. As well
as the fact that once you own CW's or Heresys, or KHorns for that
matter, you tend to notice and see and research all of the different
configurations. I have personally inspected at least 12 pairs of
Cornwalls, inside and out since I bought my first, and while my
knowledge is limited with regard to historic models, I have a short
grasp on what the basic configurations were. Like my pair
however, yours might be completely different, that is possible- it just
seems unlikely. The general consensus is that Klipsch did make
mid model change speakers, to use up parts etc. But your
configuration is radically different than any I have seen before, that
crossover is something else entirely. Maybe some of our crossover
gurus can chime in here...Further, in my
limited experience, I have never seen round caps like those in your
untouched crossovers, which is not necessarily a bad thing. If
someone *did* recap them, that is a good thing, not bad as the
originals were not optimal. However, on the point of your caps,
my opinion is totally *an opinion*.K

Uh, pardon me for interupting but I prefer to make my
own cabling with raw cable from www.bluejeanscable.com - the Canare
Star Quad and the 10 gauge Beldin are killer and for a good
price. The cable they sell is top notch, and comparatively cheap
when set next to the hype of Monster. The locking bananas they
sell are awesome too, and cheap or you can go to www.cobaltcable.com
(go compare the cost of those bananas at cobalt, they are the exact
same components - I know I bought both) and
pay way too much. Shipping by BJ cable is fast and easy - of
course, while I wish I had an affiliation, I do not, etc.Sorry to direct this thread back to the apparent intention of
the original poster. Now back to the original post-hijacking
channel.k

Uh, my humble recommendation is the circuit specialists unit that I picked up a while back - cheap and well built, been using it rather extensively, I don't do several hundred crossovers a year, but for my use it is above average.

Ohhh, I wouldn't advise cashing the check - cashing the check with the notation of "full and final settlement" could be construed as a settlement offer and wherein cashing the check would indicate acceptance of the offer to settle, precluding any further recovery, striking the notation and initialing might be possible - but I wouldn't risk it...How big was the shingle warning, and was it in such a place as a reasonable person would have seen the warning? What is the failure rate of the shingle? Did the manufacturer place into the stream of commerce a product that was known to be defective such that their warning would not relieve them of their negligence? Would alternative design theory come into play? Doesn't this also come down to comparative fault question, regardless of the warning?
Wouldn't this also be a submission to the homeowner's insurance policy for full payment, and their decision (by the assignment of the right to recover form the shingle company) whether to sue the shingle co.?I guess I really shouldn't get into this should I? I restrained myself on the whole mitigation of damages/bargained for exchange/duty-breach-damages thing on the last question...I will shut up now.

Dude, jet down - relax and breathe - I think Jays post
could have been interpreted in two ways, and you and I interpreted it
in different ways - He could have been saying tht you are flapping in
the wind complaining about a product to a company that isn't going to
answer you and therefor you are wasting your time complaining about it
- that would make him on YOUR side, wouldn't it? You spend an
entire post saying nasty things about this guy for an eight word phrase
on an open internet forum? Don't you think that is a little over
reactive, even if he just wanted to say you make a long post complaining
and venting when nothing can or will be done - he didn't call you a
troll, or an idiot, or anything of the sort. You appear to spend
some time on the internet, yes? You know how this works, why do
you think crapping in the front seat is going to make the car smell
better? You want help, you be nice and inquire - you will be
shocked at how people will actually try to help here. I have a
free turntable, some crazy good speakers and people I respect and now
consider friends from this board- you can too. More listening and
less expulsing.What exactly do you want us to say? Have many of us
had some crappy experiences with Klispch mass produced products?
You bet, I am one of them - I had a set of ProMedia 5.1THX, the
infamous-amplifier-blows-just-shortly-after-the-warranty-period-is-up-blunder
- was I pissed? You have absolutely no idea. Did I *****
about it, yes and how. Did my bitching resolve anything?
Not on your life. NOW, that being said Klispch doesn't build your
speakers, they are built by some sweat shop factory someplace
subcontracted by Klipsch on the Asian rim. Fact of life, to get
the speakers at the price you get them, that is what you get. If
you want to pay more, much more, you can pick up the actual MADE by
Klipsch, hand built, hand tested reference and Heritage speakers that
we all aspire to (see my sig)- but you get ultimately what you pay for
here. Some of us actually ahve taken the time to meet the good
hardworking folks that hand build these things, and THERE, the fail
rate is remarkably LOW (saw the inspriation chart on the board in the
factory in Hope, Arkansas). And yes, you will find that there are
some very conscientious people on this board, in the employ of Klipsch,
who are watching and reading everything you are saying - and I believe
that those people will be very interested in your problems and will
tell their superiors what is going on (but frankly, I think in this
particular matter, you will be one of thousands making the same
complaints) - and while I hope that they will attempt to fix this - it
is out of the board moderators hands - and into the dark halls of the
corporate shuffle. All I ahve learned is that these things are
worth the hassle.But, if you are looking for specific
advice on maybe how to fix those buggers, ask specifics, and you might
be surprised. IF you want someone to tell you that you are right,
and this sucks wind - I am telling you that you are right, and I am
sorry for your pain - because I have been there - if you want me to
tell you to move on and get something else - can't do that - as painful
as it was, I got those ProMedia's fixed, and am using them at good
volumes today, and they kick asssssss compared to the Logitechs I owned
and the now defunct Monsoons...these bears are more than decent
speakers.That all being said, you should be able
to take that speaker back, no? Get it back to where it comes
from, get another or get your money back or call Klipsch support and
get it fixed on their dime - or ask nice and maybe one of the
moderators here will point you in the right direction.K

When I try to hit the "Contact" button at the top of your comment,
it just sits there? When I hit reply t goes right to the reply
screen, but not contact - the drop down menu isn't working
apparently? Anyone else having this issue?OT send me
a PM, I will hook you up - I am pretty sure that my wife hasn't gotten
rid of them - and I am sorry, I wasn;t following this thread to see
your response.K

Hey all,
I know that you probably have all
heard this news, but I have been just frothing over this one - it would
appear that there will be a Genesis reunion tour in Europe next year,
sans Peter Gabriel, but with all the other guys, including Phil Collins
on the massive drum set - and the powers are releasing a lot of the
good Genesis albums on SACD starting in January - I don't think Lamb
isscheduled for release but I might be wrong - I am jonesing over the
walk down memory lane...might have to catch them abroad, maybe another
Wembley sold out? That would be nuts...Don't know when the US tour is scheduled - but surely?
K
-
OT, you have pm.
K
EDIT - Well I tried to PM you at any rate, forum won't let me?

I am keeping the poster for Klipsch, I am donating the unsolicited moralistic sermonizing to Trinity Waste Services, but thanks.Does this mean they are out of posters?

Hey boys, I am going to interject if I can -
I need to pick
up 2x1500uf and 2x2200uf caps for a receiver recapping that I am
attempting - the voltages are 80 and 90v respectively, very hard
(impossible) to find in those numbers - and they are large cans - would
those high voltage 1500uf's be ok to replace the existing caps in this receiver or am I
going to get hit with a huge in-rush current and fry something if I
replace an 80v 1500uf with a 1500uf 450v? Those prices look tasty, and I really need to get this thing moving... Help!Uh, and yes, I am nuts. And, yes, I solder with my pants on (learned the hard way).

I finally pulled my poster all the way out of the tube - WTH is up with
the "Practice Peace" propaganda in with the poster? I have to
tell you that I am pretty fed up with everyone, pro and con, trying to
push their agenda down my throat whether I want it or not...Not that I
am all happy with the situation we currently find ourselves in, but I
was almost PO'd enough to send this poster back and tell the
drowningcreek people to shove it squarely up their spam mail
slots...End of my political discourse for today.I order a product, and it comes with strings attached -
like some open invitation for them to spew their point of view at me
and to accost my sense of rightness - like I am some stupid idiot that
needs these guys to wake me up? Getting more steamed..FYI.K
-
Uh, I may have missed this but - I have a few questions -Boom, do you like music that thumps, large and lush, or quiet and contemplative?
The
gamut could span from Wagner to say, Debussy - and personally I like a
smattering of both - as much as they are played and trite as it may
sound, Clair De Lune and the Ride of The Valkyries from the Ring cycle,
are spectacular pieces - I personally lean toward opera myself, and
could name just a boat load of good opera, but I am not feeling that is
your preference? There are a lot of good opera compilations that
you may want to look at - I can recommend a few if you are
interested. A few of my favorite singers are Ettore Bastianini,
Leonard Warren, Franco Corelli, Leontyne Price, Maria Callas, Lauritz
Melchior, Renata Tebaldi, Brynn Terfel, Jerome Hines, and the list goes
on...On the other hand, there are times when the only thing I
can stomach are what I am currently listening to, Palestrina and
Allegri's Miserere (1500's polyphonic church music) - I guess what I am
asking is are you leaning totally toward instrumental or vocal too?Whether
you consider the pieces classical or not - the Gershwin classics are
just fun to listen to - American in Paris, Rhapsody in Blue - again,
trite, but great. In the more contemporary vein, when I want to
test my speakers at good volume and get a good dose of brass, I will
throw in Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copeland, a piece that is
very recognizeable andjust plain cool.I also highly recommend (in the beautiful quiet vein) Lark
Ascending by R .Vaugh WIlliams, actually pretty much anything by Vaughn
Williams is just some wonderful modern (not atonal) music - He put quite a few of
the most recognizeable English hymns to orchestral versions that are
marvelous, the main theme of the movie "Master and Commander" was a
famous V. WIlliams piece entitled "Fantasia on a Theme of Tallis",
great stuff - fantastic for Klipsch speakers...There is
just so much out there, hard toknow where to begin or stop - I don't
have the organizational skills of Max, sorry to say.K
-
Now, they really should get the artist too - don't you think?
It
was Marvin Gaye, by the by - and I want to say that song was released
posthumously? One if his biggest, I think. Tragic by
any standards.K

Done -
One of the CD's that finds itself in the player alot -
" Picket lines and picket signs, Don't punish me with brutality..."
