Honestly, you guys really need to get another Hobby as these posts are ridiculous.....(I know, I'm even more ridiculous to read them)!!

By the way....., check out : www.hitestguitars.com Gregg is a friend of mine, and remember, he sells NOS..........I rest my case

Look, EVERYONE know that used 'original" preamp tubes last longer and are of better quality than the new ones available today. Of course you can't buy from "any Tom, Dick, or Harry..... You can buy excellent quality Tele's, siemens, mullards ect,ect... between 50 and 85 bucks all day long from reputable people.

I CANNOT understand why anyone would spend that much for newley manufactures tubes when you can by NOS or good used tubes for about the same $$!! I can understand KT88's and the like but, preamp tubes??

You Do some REAL NICE WORK Greg!!! IMO I think cane or wheat would add richness and depth, and show off the grain better.....

Hahhahaha!!!.....

You know what I like about this forum??........The Moderators don't Rush in to delete the flaming!! Its good that everyone cna dish it out and take it too!! On other forums everyone must be pollitically correct....

I am so GLAD i live in a rural area w. NO noise ordinances! Even if their was it would be hard to uphold. 12- 18w...... thats TOO loud??.....Hahhaha. I run 2 Mcintosh 2102's in mono......thats LOUD!!

May avitar picure was used for this: http://anonymouslawfirm.com/profile.php?id=88 Is this a "real" lawfirm just havin fun or is this the actual website!!! You Guys are HILARIOUS!!!! I'm at Audioclassics at least once a week! The best eperience I had there was goin to the Mcintosh tour and listening (and watching) their 1 Million dollar plus system! 20,000 total watts!!! It was alright sounding.......

You are are KILLING me!! Did I ever tell you how evil you are[6]!! Stop tryin to instill the things I am "tryin to avoid"!! YES, I admit "IF" they sound better than my Khorns I will be "tempted" ( as my signature depicts) but I am an "Extremely Patient" person! When the time is right and the money is in hand....... we shall see!! By the way did i mention how incredibly funny I thought your avatar was???!!!

Welllll, I doubt I"m gonna update anytime soon......but they sure are a pretty speaker for sure, and I bet they sound awesome paired w/ Mac amps!!

With all due respect.....you are VERY misiniformed! I'm sure as w/ all buisnesses their isa time when nothing goes right,but Audioclassics has earned their reputation and is a thriving buisness w/ second to none service. They stand behind the items they sell and warranty them to boot! Are they priced higher than items you can buy on the Gon or ebay?? Sure! But they are checked out and guarenteed! They are also a buisness that has to turn a profit. I bought all my Mac gear from them and my Brazilian Khorns from them as well A+++!!!

Audioclassics is an "actual' storein Vestal NY, right next door to Mcintosh Company(about 3 miles) their site is: www.audioclassics.com They of course sell Mcintosh and Klipsch!! Imagine that 2 American Iconic Companies under 1 roof!!

Just found out that the new Klipsch Palladium will be arriving at audioclassics.com HOORAY!!!! Probably after the new year. Can't wait to hear them paired up w/ my favorite Mac amps.....!! also comparing them to the various speakers there will be a alot of fun! Merry Christmas!!!!

Hahahaha!!! Is that really you in the pic??? That is SO funny !!! Your killin me!!! Your wife is probably alot of fun too! (Imean that in "good" taste by the way...)

Since selling me your Khorns (not trying to put you on the spot) what speakers are using now and why....??

Forgot to mention that I also use the "mr. clean magic eraser" in conjunction with the "zerodust" for cleaning my stylus between album play....

I use a a VPI 16.5 as well w/ the walker Audio Prelude 3 step method and I also use the "gruv glide" everytime I put a album on. can be a bit tedious but the results are awesome!

So, Which is it??? what is the overall consensus of owners of Xteme slope & universals?? Let the people speak, and chime in!!

Well, the question arises.....which network is "REALLY" the better one. What exactly is high volume and how often do you really push it?? Even my "Wife tolerating" levels are LOUD, Sooo.....At what levels do you really listen too?? I wish there was an easy (albeit) quick way to change over crossovers from "easy listening" to "all out assault"!!

Meagain, I first replaced the stock AA crossovers w/ ALK universals, was a nice improvement, then I rewired the Khorns w/ Cardas solid silver wire (a little stiff to work with) and the crites tweeter. Again their was an improvement on the higher end for sure. I took the plunge on the trachorns and Xtreme slope. Installed horns and used w/ Universals.....Holy crap! Big improvement! I installed the Xtreme slope a week ago......Mmmmm.....It seems to me that there wasnt that much of a difference, especially at "wife tolerating levels". I think (at least to me) the edge goes to the xtreme's at louder levels, not by much though. You really have to go back & forth but I am WAY to lazy to do that, So my vote is go extreme! I would get the Trachorn first or perhaps you can make a deal for the whole setup! Eitherway ( if your like me) your won't be satisfied until you get everything,cause you'll never "really" know until you get it!!

I"ve talked to several people who changed out the K55 to JBL 2470 only to go back to the K55! It seems the K55 is hard to beat, but everyones ears hear things a little differently. I have the Crites tweeters installed and am pretty happy over the improvement from the stock unit, are the Beyma's "that much" better?? Where does all this end.....or does it "really" ever end !

Let us not lose sight of the fact that the Khorns are in and of themselves, a pretty stupendous speaker. Adding various modifications only takes them to an even more stupendous level. Talking about Khorns, Heritage in general and Jubilees...might be similar to going to a car convention where you're discussing Ferrari's, Porche's, Lambo's, Astin's and the like.... they're ALL in the upper stratosphere and in some ways, they're all better than each other. Perhaps just a matter of what your priority might be. If you ever get a chance to hear a pair of Jubilees, you will undoubtedly walk away fairly impressed. (unless perhaps it's in the banquet room in Indianapolis ) Well, thats my point... I guess one can lose sight of how one's system sounds. but.....I'm always searching andi guess never really satisfied. People are FLOORED when they have a listen! I'm pretty sure that my Khorns sound as good as some speakers that are 20K or so. Wishful thinking maybe....??

Man!! I was so impressed w/ my modded Khorns.....I shoukd of kept my mouth shut! Now I will never satisfied until I hear a pair of JUBS!!

Tom, Did you sell the VPI TNT? Why the switch in tables? It was actually an VPI HRX.... I was always itching to get a Basis w/ Vacuum hold and one came available used and I bought it hence the sale of HRX. Muxh better soundstage, better isolation, and no worries about warped records or (GOD FORBID) banging that expensive stylus on outer ring YIKES!!
