Post it, Ray. Next?
-
Okay, I'm renaming this thread to "Ray vs. Bart." You seem to be the only 2 guys who have photographic memories of obscure tunes from multiple genre.
-
So sorry to hear that. Spend lots of time together and tell her all the reasons why she's been your soul-mate for all these years.
-
I didn't see the descriptions. Yeah, I have to agree with the others' comments. 14 and "pouty/flirty." No thanks.
My wife's the best. Good looking, works hard, makes real good money, frugal..... and puts up with me. Send that to Ashley.

Y'ep. but maybe something different with the hair?....

Name 3 of the All-Time Greatest Rock CD's based upon the entire CD being killer.
My 3:
1. Santana "Moonflower"
2. Genesis "Seconds Out"
3. Led Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti"
.... all 3 are double CD's, too.

I see we are w/o a challenge. Try this:
"Lock all your doors from the outside
The key will dangle by the inside
You may begin to understand
That this is the night we ride
This ain't the garden of eden
There ain't no angels above
And things ain't like what they used to be
And this ain't <name of song>"
Name that Tune!

Not affiliated/don't know seller. Just FYI. Think they're in Arkansas. No pics but described as being in great shape.

This fight thread isn't going so well.......we aren't arguing and stuff...where's Parrot or Minn Male when you need em'
I haven't seen Minn Male or RF7 around lately.
Screw you, man! [:@]

Born2Rock, I've used those Cornwalls w/drums for 20 years. Never a disappointment. I even had to refrain from turning stereo up too high. They out-do live drums.
No way will I use KHorns for TV! If stereo was in same place as TV - yes way. But KHorns need to be where the jams are. Sometimes when not playing drums, I like to put on something like YYZ, old Genesis, Chicago and just crank the snot out it and smile. [

Guess Ray's gonna leave everyone stumped, resulting in the death of this thread, resulting in the inability to pass on the glory of music to others, leaving less time consumed by enjoyment and therefore, more time for work, resulting in an increase in tax revenues for the government, resulting in continued government spending frenzies that overtake the private sector's function in a capitalist society, leaving our country fallen to Communism! And it's all your fault, Ray! [

Re: Why overkill for TV sound?
Because the dogs like it when wolves howl on "Nature."
Actually, my dogs would flip out if they heard cat's shrieking!
-
Actually, it is overkill. But it's what I have, so hey, why dump it? I do wonder what speakers handle what the 1200 can really deliver. It's be nice to hear something that can take more than half. My KHorns might take half on a "soft-spoken" tune - or just a drum solo like in Santana's "Soul Sacrifice."
Will set up a post for BillH, so others can chime in if they're familiar. Thanks.
Because I NEED it!
Like I said, it's my Crown jewel! Found one for you on e-bay for $400.

yeah, I have the LP to Moonflower, but everyone kept talking about it, so I broke down and got the CD this week. Awesome, simply awesome piece of music.
Michael, are you sure we're not related? That is one of the CD's that would be my choice if I was marooned on a deserted island and could only bring 10 CD's. It is definitely an awesome piece of music. Almost brings tears [
] to think how that must have sounded to those who were there in concert (at least most of it was in concert). It is a CD that almost nobody knows about, and they really, really don't know what they're missing. Sounds fabulous through Klipsch at high volume. Enough raving, but I love this 2 CD Set..... -
Michael told me I might check into a Yamaha 657 for HT. Says BillH just got one and I should ask what he thinks. BillH, what do you think, and how much can I expect to pay?
Anyone else feel free to sound in if you're familiar. Thanks.

Ray, you are Category 3. [

Michael, my buddy! You slightly misunderstood. Nobody gets my Crown over my dead body. I saw you mentioned having a Crown earlier, so I was kidding that you might want to sell me yours, so I'd have 1 for up and 1 for down.
Tell me more about that Yamaha 657. What should I expect to pay for a good used one?
My pre-amp is Yamaha C-80. It was born for my Crown, and there, it will stay.
Thanks for your input. You're getting me on track.

I think we should direct him through the secret tunnel into the now infamous and deceased Ratings Thread, where everyone almost got sued in Judge Judy's Court. Maybe Craig could post some more cartoons!

Michael, please read my "Bringing the Corns Down" thread and give me some more advice. What gets me is that for 20 years, I've shaken the roof with just my Corns. It's sad to see them "wasted" on a TV. KHorns are definitely plenty for drumming. So are Corns. Is your vote still to keep them on TV? Seems like such overkill for such fine speakers. I'll say I would like to have them for good action movies with explosions, etc., but the use would be limited to just about that. What more to say?

First, it will help you to go back to your thread, review the replies, and then, post a reply in that same thread. Your questions are getting all separated out from all the responses. It's hard for people to know what has already been said. So, stay in this thread and keep your questions here by replying in it, and you'll get all the questions you want answered. There are very many extremely knowledgeable people here. I'm not one of them.
That said, there aren't that many series of the same model I am aware of. You will see Cornwall, Cornwall II, Chorus, Chorus II, etc. But they are limited.
Now, they may have some slight differences that an "audiophile" could talk your ears off about. But keep in mind, the differences will be slight.
Go back to your original thread and re-read my response. I think most here will find it very accurate in its general flavor. For instance, if you got Cornwalls or Cornwall II's, they'll sound so very close - and both very good. I own KHorns and Cornwalls, and I'd be perfectly comfortable buying Cornwalls or Cornwall II's - they are so close that you'll see the prices being asked are pretty much the same. Just looking at the pricing difference ought to tell you alot right there.
I think 90% or more of the members here will tell you that Cornwalls (generically, whether I or II), are the best bang for the buck. They rock the hell out of the place, sound great, and you can get a used pair for around $600 - 800.
Any other questions?

Sorry, not clear. I have the "drum room" upstairs where I play drums to my favorite rock tunes. This is why I got a serious stereo set-up. I recently bought KHorns. Now, I have KHorns and Corns. I can bring the Corns downstairs and use them for TV - and pretty much TV only (so movies is about al they'd be good for). Or I can use them upstairs and run my stereo with both KHorns and Corns.
Drums will not be coming downstairs in TV room.

Anyone else want to vote?

I replied to your question. What more do you want to know? If you want to talk to someone who works for Klipsch, it might be more hit and miss using this forum.

Do I have Deco Corns?
in Technical/Restorations

I've been needing to replace my grill cloth that my lovely cat scratched up. It is a cane cloth. The cloth was put on and held behind ordinary baseboard-type wood around the front perimeter. I looked behind the cloth and found that the birch is a light stain color and is finished. Are these Deco Corns?
