I caught that SSD some few years ago and mum was not impressed with the staked LaScla in my bedroom. Made me sell the 2nd pair. Then at the Studio we tried to stack 3 pair of LaScala but the ceiling was 2 low so we made Pyramids instead so that must be a complication of SSD probably PSSD. If only we had had more we could have made wallpaper. Stacking..... The basic "mode" is inverted second pair (identical type) if the amp is going to drive both pairs. Enhanced "mode" is non-inverted, but in order to pull it off, you have to have identical amps that allow you to "dial in" the effect you want. In all of my "stacking", I found that stacking horn loaded bass speakers will work, but...... requires a phase change for the upper pair's bass, or a large room. I mean rather large..... What I have been able to figure out is how to stack non-identical speaker pairs. They do, however, need to be similar if not the same manufacturer and type, such as Heritage. In order to make it work you either need an active crossover with a time delay function, or separate (identical topology is fine...) amps. The best combination, as many have "experienced" in visits to the Wall of Voodoo, is K'horns as the "base" system, with Heresy's stacked. Belles stacked with Cornwalls will work also, but you have to have a larger room to get it right. Lotta' things come into play here, and comb filtering is probably the worst issue. That problem is solved in the instance of the K'horns with Heresy's by virtue of the inherent time delay on the K-33 travel path vs the travel path of the direct radiator on the Heresy. Comb filtering can be negated by the positioning of the stacks of identicals that take advantage of reflected sound propagation. That tends to reduce the "null" nodes the further you get away from the speaker sources themselves. "Stacking" in horizontal or vertical arrays has been around forever. Usually commercial venues, but when they do it, they always use seprate amps for the "pairs", and "dial it in" . In short, it takes patience and time to set up the position of the "stack", and tailoring the amps to the configuration desired. But when it's done right, the effects are amazing. You can control apparent depth and width of the sound stage, and "move" the listener closer or further away from the source performing. Just some thoughts from South Florida..... LOL!!!!

When a Belle or LS is set up right (crossovers, and/or amp tweaking) they can do in a Cornwall. I've played with (and own) all three types, and I will say that for HT use, the Cornwall is a good, easy, out of the box way to go. The LS and the Belle are better for classical stereo. Alot depends on the type of music one listes to and whether they want the "enhanced" bass for which the Cornwall is so noted in it's stock mode. Room size, if small, also loves Cornwalls; but larger rooms take advantage of the horn loading inherent in the other two. Just some observations from over the years.

Good info! [Y]

There may not even be a fuse in the fuse holder! LOL!!! I agree with DJK, and before replacing the fuses, check and see what fuses are in the working unit. Then replace all of them. Make sure they are "fast blow" type. There are some other things that can be a problem. If the fuses are replaced, wires on crossovers are connected, leads to bass bin plugged in, etc., you may have to swap the crossovers to see if the problem follows the crossover. If it follows, then the crossover is the culprit. If not, then pull the bass bin cover and make sure that the leads from the bass bin's main input and woofer crossover unit are attached to the leads that "feed" the jacks to the HF section. Given their age, it would not hurt to pull the covers and inspect the leads to the woofers (and make sure someone did not "substitute" non-Klipsch woofers...), and replace the bin cover gasket. That bin needs to be sealed tight. Just some thoughts.

Too late, my Nigerian friend, Achmed Abdullah Zambezi, has already claimed the stuff and offered it to me!!! [6]

It's a landmine thing...... [Y]

Diesel is $4 a gallon. Life sucks.... Here.... Unless I want to drive 100 miles+ round trip, my only eat out option is the local Mex restaurant which, by the way only got 19 violations last month, or Golden Corral, also known as the "trough"..... If things are improving, then I'm surely awaiting the "trickle down" theory to manifest....

38K, but there are a number of words that I have not seen (or used... LOL) for quite some time.

Now that we've beaten the crap outa' this one...... [] Let's look at Oscar's options...... "Murder is not an option. Neither is suicide". But a painful experience for the crappers (sorry, just had to...) just may re-direct efforts to another venue for their relief.... Forget the paintballs.... a good quality Airsoft gun will provide the necessary "education" and "re-training".....

Duke is the master The lost art is audio haiku Certainly to be missed, sad [H]

While Klipschorns are the "basis", the Wall of Voodoo depends on multiple Heresy's for centers, high L/R, and sides... and McIntosh amps to drive them, LOL!!!

Oh yeah!!!! It'll work!!! [Y][Y][Y] Believe me, corner "loading" will make them sound pretty good!!!

The dishwasher with vinegar always worked well, at least for cleaning... It was the whole weird warping that drove me crazy.....

In years past, I have had two woofer "failures". Both were K-33's, and in both instances, the chrome plating in the sleeve began to peel. Good news? Well they were from Klipschorns that I had dragged all over the world since 1979.... Bad news? Not worth repairing. When any part of the coil, the sleeve, etc. separates, they are pretty much shot. Now as to why that would happen, particularly on a driver less than 30+ years old, knowing that there is little, if any chance that something actually figured out a way to get in there..... It sounds like the voice coil wire "let go". That would be a manufacture defect of some sort. Other than simply replacing it, I have no idea how to get that fixed, at least economically.

Escalation, and send an email to amy.unger@klipsch.com with the specific details of what happened. She will make sure that the complaint is at least handled in the manner to which most owners are familiar when it comes to Klipsch.

Well knock me down! []

Check with Daddy Dee or Colter; IIRC, he had moved, or changed jobs, etc.

Watching people "check the meat" in the meat department gives one the creeps on ocassion.... Now for JB, fini and dtel to "explore" that angle...... [A]

Seriously high on the Drool-O-Meter!!! [Y]

"Since I failed at "bagging" I ended up working in the produce department" LOL!!!! Now that's funny!!! [Y][Y][Y] [H]

Another loss for music, Sad to hear.
