Klipsched with Yamahas

Anyone see Barrett-Jackson last night? GM 1950 Superbus (13 made, and only 3 still operating under own power) $4.1 MILLION dollars.....NEW BJ record http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/22/gm-futurliner-rewrites-barrett-jackson-record-books-hammers-to/ Fricked insane! Heck, they had a SS LS6 I think went for over 1 Million, but my favorite car L-88 1969 Vette #216 of 216 matching numbers, only went for $220 grand. I can't figure it all out, I swear!

I cheated.....had to research since my memory ain't quite what is used to be: REVOLUTION I think, but that was before 1970?? I can see this trivia game will be a real test........no doubt, some will need extra clues! I have a few tough ones for ya later down the road!

Beatles perhaps....early 70's? Otherwise, I'm stumped

I may eventually pickup a set of Heresy's to compliment the Cornwall's, but not at the moment. Best wishes on finding a nice home! I'll ask around also (Delaware area)

lol - I left my digital camera here at work over the weekend, so no snapshots yet. Will post up Wednesday pm. Sorry

Kinda been toying around w/the idea of putting together a simple program to test the knowledge of our board members: Guidelines as follows: (1) LP must be during the 1970 - 1980's era, covering the 20 year period (2) LP MUST have had at least (1) top 40 hit AND was available in the the USA. (3) Picture w/clues are acceptable and preferred to expedite the process, but no names or dates. For instance, I will post up the first LP next week (which is a relatively scarce album cover). Band was killed and the album cover was pulled from the market shortly after its release. Many of you can already figure it out, but we'll start the game w/easy artists, and then move on to more regional/lesser known recordists. I figure this should make a nice edition to 2007, and rekindle those fond memories of years past. Happy New Year Mark

Here are a couple subs sure to challenge you........ http://www.stereophile.com/subwoofers/604velodyne/ http://memphiscaraudio.com/products/details.asp?id=37 http://www.jbl.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=W15GTI%20MKII&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA&cat=SUB&ser=GTI

Funny you should mention that, as I just went thru my albums last night (414 in all), but thought I had more! Boogie Motel, Fool for the City, the original debut album (??) and one more that escapes me at the moment! Good ole Lonesome Dave - "I just wanna make love to you" (The song folks) lol

May sound weird, but when a system is on........the hair on my arms raise, I get goosbumps, and a tingling sensation. Best wishes and hope your outcome is a positive one.

BEC is testing out my B-2 Networks on the sonic vs gelcaps........Midrange/Highs are now too bright and low mids/bass are virtually non-existent. Before, I had full range, and I hear on these boards that the Cornwall III's sound better than the II's. Bob is gonna let me know what he finds out when comparing the (2) different types of caps. The 2-channel audio "Bermuda Triangle" [8-)]

Yup, they look like cane grills to me.....[]

What? German and Italian cars? Whatever happend to good ole' american muscle? Although, I must admit I have a passion for Audi's myself! .....and here we preach "BUY AMERICAN" (lol)

So cool......thanks for sharing!

[Y] So close and yet so far.......I feel like I can almost reach out and touch it! I'm still searching for the old Apple 45's........getting difficult to locate in EX to MT condition.

Did you try the search? http://www.klipsch.com/find-a-dealer/Default.aspx

Unless you have divine intervention, George and John's may be a little difficult to obtain these days. I was always a BIG Beatles fan! Paul and George were my favorites.......John was just a little too much of an extremist IMO And to think this memorabilia will only increase in value over time.

Klipsch Cornwall's vs Pontiac Trans Am Firehawk #526 of 1505 Let's just say the Klipsch have held their value FAR IN EXCESS of this vehicle. Unless you can live to see 150, then cars are a poor investment. [Y]

I also have a set of '83 Cornwalls: K33 K51V (some came w/K57 squawker) K77 B-2 Network

x2.....even w/o my peripherals (EQ, expanders, etc.), I only push my 120W Yamaha at 50-70% of full volume w/flat signal, and that is reaching the upper limits of the Cornwalls capabilities based on my setup. Those Heritage series products are unbelievable, and unlike ANY HE speaker that I've ever witnessed. VERY EFFICIENT! Not sure about the F's, but I would think they are just as efficient and responsive.

Thank Jeff, but I wasn't seeking anything specific, just how the various models differ and how these units stack up against the competition of that era. Mac', Harmon's, etc. Information has eluded me, as I would have thought maybe Stereo Review, or some other mags would have had archived info. Based on my review, it doesn't appear on the surface, that they made a TON of these C and M series preamps/amplifiers. The S/N on the C6 is #1715, and the M-50 also has a low production number. Yes, I love the sound of the Yamaha's for clarity and low-distortion......makes the Cornwalls' mids sing, but lacks the FULLNESS of other well-known brand names such as the McIntosh and Harmon-Kardon's. Hard to explain in words, but maybe you can relate

Funny you should post auto audio pics.....one of my friends WAS still running an old US AMPS tube/active crossover setup. Talk about bringing back memories.! MBQ's......yeah man! Running Q's (uprfont-biamped), Premiums (rear-biamped) and Reference tweets in the A pillars via the HU. You all would laugh if you knew how this system was wired, but it works amazingly well for a "bastardized" afterthought design. The car bug got me too, and that is how I lost touch w/Home Entertainment for 20 years. Hell, I have almost 75% more in my car system, than my home setup, but gotta put the money where you spend the most time, and that is on-the-road, for me.

Interesting question: I thought (gets me in trouble every time) most 2-ch setups were 8ohm. Of course, I'm applying 1980's thought processes in a 21st century environment. I do have a spare set of modern "junk" speakers that run @ 4ohm.

Was kinda hopin' Santa would get lost and mis-deliver a set of 60th anniv K-Horns, but no such luck! Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year..........JacksonBart, what year of the Dragon is it overseas? []

Does anyone else have the C and M series Yamaha electronics components from the 1980's? I've searched the web, and can't even find information on the YAMAHA web page or archives. Very strange! Seeking review info........

Absolutely....I have a few from several of my Radio DJ friends back in the 70's. Some of those (holepunched) promo's are very rare! Rare, referring to one-time local/regional wonders that never made the big time, and a few that had special covers and/or colored labels/vinyl. If anyone has digitally remastered LP's for sale, THOSE I cherish the most.
