  1. They were about $1100 a pair in the late 80's.A fine bagain for such a great speaker.
  2. I had a pair of Stephens cx-150n custom built barzilay cabinets.the drivers in the stephens are more clear in the vocals and stringed instruments.they are not as powerful bur=t were more efficient 103 1w@1m.
  3. Mike jeffery had ties to some unsavory characters.Most people were terrified of him.he took planes to the bahamas and stashed untold millions of jimi's money.IT would be easy for a few goons to hold you down and shove pills a liquor down the chute.
  4. I really appreciate all your efforts.thanks for keeping me posted.John
  5. I have alot of Hendrix on vinyl.40 years later is still sounds amazing.Jimi and Eddie Kramer worked majic in the short time they recorded.1983 A Merman I shood turn to be is an outerworldly piece of genius.Much better than the techno crap they are producing today.
  6. Give yourself a bonus don't pay taxes.Screw them before they do you.Pull yourself up by the bootstraps even if you don't have any boots.Don't worry Reich Limpbag will be the next republican candidate.
  7. You mean you'd rather have that wannabe cowboy and his sidekick hannibal lecter aka dick cheney reaming you at the pump.
  8. The local school district here for whom we have done paint contracting work for the last twenty years has finally let us go.These were good jobs almost no bid type work,we made decent money but were always fair and their when they needed us.They have replaced us with a company that does everything related to the building trades.It has been hard on me,but telling the crew these jobs are gone and they ain't coming back is harder.Hell i guess i needed a break my body is shot anyway.I will survive someway though.Plan on opening a Vintage stereo and record shop soon,as well as doing custom home theater work.
  9. I have both Belles and Cornwalls.And have listened to everything in the world with both of them.The CW's dig lower but the bass is not as tight as the Belles.The Belles are clearly the winner hands down with imaging,not far behind my Khorns.Placement is critical feed them good clean power and they will work fine for momitors.
  10. The most underated drummer in history in my opinion.He was the perfect match for Jimi's supersonic surfboard called the guitar.Listen to Electric ladyland on vinyl and you'll see what I mean.
  11. Yeah good ol' GWB sat on his hands while a city drown.A lot of people did not have the means to leave.Especially the elderly and sick.You ddin't go through anything.I bet you didn't volunteer one hour to help your community.Walk a mile in someone elses shoes.Or you might be wearing them someday.You know better!all you know is what you saw on your big screen sitting in your Lazyboy.
  12. It makes me sick too when jerks make derragtory comments towards the less fortunate.I worked in the construction trades after katrina and it puts things in perspective.95% of people in gated communities would have cried like the little woosies.
  13. I have two pair Belles 74 & 77 models.I also prefer the folded horn bass.The bass does not go as low but in my opinion is tighter and cleaner sounding.The Belles are beautiful and don't sound too shabby either.I think the sound better than La Scalas and imaging is close to the Khorns IMo.
  14. They should hand out vaseline at the pumps.It's killing my business I have to raise prices accordingly.They are doing their damnedest to wipe out the middle class.Pretty soon we can deposit our checks with the Bank of China.
  15. My best friend my hero my first born son.Matthew my oldest son will be leaving for Marine boot camp on August 18 his birthday.Their has been a Marine in my immediate family for well over 100 years.He could have chosen and been accepted to most colleges.At first I was mad at him for joining.Not that I have anything against our servicemen. Perhaps it was all the folklore surrounding his grandfather,one of the most highly decorated Marines from the state of Arkansas during World War II.When I asked him why he was joining.He told me so his little brother or nephews wouldn't have to.Words cannot express the pride I have in my son who is now a man.I love and appreciate all veterans who make this country what it is.
  16. Forte II and Chorus II out perform My 1974 Belle Klipsch I don't think so.They image a helluva lot better and take a lot less power.You can't get the same sound out of a smaller box.They must have been a fairly good speaker as they were used in Radio City Music Hall New York for several years.You are also using soild state amplification which greatly misses the mark on the belles.Try 2 Marantz Model 9"s and call me.
  17. I never have wrapped mine.I guess it's just a personal preference.I have both Forte originals and Forte II and Quartets and kept the originals.
  18. My thoughts have always been this.Would a great jazz musican use plastic horns in a trumpet or sax?I don't think so.I have a pair of 1974 Belles and Original Fortes with metal horns.I think they are superior the the plastic ones.I don't here the ringing that many people talk about.
  19. Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.The support and generosity of the people is truly amazing. It is tragic only two people died in this Tornado,but a miracle also.Letty"S mexican restaurant collapsed with workers andc customers in it.Now it's time to make sure the insurance compaines due the right thing and give these good people the money they deserve.We will be watching them closely.
  20. I feel blessed to be alive today.The little town of Gassville,Arkansas was almost leveled last night.I was about 5 miles away and saw the funnel drop. A few miles to the east and Mountain Home would have been leveled.Took off work today will do some volunteer work throught rest of week. We sometimes spend too much time accumilating material goods that can be taken away.
  21. I have a Forte II with blown tweeters.I have set of tweeters from a pair of Quartets.Will they work in the Forte II?
  22. A pair if Oak Fortes is going for well over a grand on Epay.They are nice oiled oak finish.I have a pair of 1988 Walnut Oil Fortes.I love mine but for that price I could almost buy some Belles.
  23. I am located in Mountain Home.Where is Trey's family located.If it is close enough and I am free,will be gald to help.
  24. Yeah,He's the fellow that has the ad running for Klipschorns wanted for a grand.he'll give You $100 for a mint pair of Fortes.
