  1. These will work nicely in a La Scala, as well.
  2. Chuck, you're a very generous person, considering all the work it takes to transport, organize, etc. A killer deal!
  3. Glad you were able to pick those up, Chuck. Did you deal with Scott (Perron)? I don't know Scott personally, but went to school with his older sister, Tammy. Funny, the ad says, "From the old Skateland in Essex." The old Skateland was in Williston, started in the 1974. We had a lot of fun skating back then. I had never seen or heard of Klipsch speakers before then, but after that first listen, knew I would have a pair one day. A cool piece of local history.
  4. That grill looks great with the black.
  5. I like the the way you mounted and connected those foil inductors. They're awkward to solder, that's a nice solution.
  6. We're lucky up here. I had five large trees and stumps removed for $1900: A maple, three Oaks, and a Pine. They came up with a large crane, a cherry picker, and a chipper rig. Mind you, my property is only 0.15 acres. Started in the morning and were finished by lunch, AND they also removed my next door neighbor's oak. Cleaned up every bit. The guys are pros, and just about everyone uses them. I definitely got a discount because of the oak. That was some usable lumber - straight and true.
  7. Default is selected here, as well.
  8. I'm having the same issue with both my macbook pro and ipad at home, and my windows 10 laptop at work. Safari and Chrome. Never had the problem before, no settings have been changed.
  9. Since this thread was created, Al has since locked down his designs, and stopped selling kits. However, some of the schematics can be tracked down with a little creative searching. Were you able to come up with something?
  10. Yes, Al has a crossover which works with both the Forte & Forte II. The cost is $340/pair, and if you send in the stock networks, Al will issue a $48 credit. Go to alk engineering and select Overview to see a pic, and Price List for cost.
  11. I tried a 511 with my La Scalas, 3-way, with a Great Plains 902. I did not care for it. i'm currently using Dave's FasTrac which beats the 400 and the 511, at least to my ears.
  12. Yup, had the 3.5s as well. I needed the cash for some foolish reason. I do like my Don Allen cakepans (6bq5 monos), but am still looking for a nice tube pre. I'm currently using a PS Audio 4.5 that I got for free (not working). I swapped out all of the electrolytics, polys, switches, and pot (was NOT east finding the switches, sourced in England). It actually sounds really nice in straight-wire mode.
  13. Hmmm, I heard back within a day. They may route a support question to a different group. Maybe try phoning.
  14. I had a Wright Sound WLA-12A preamp, which uses the 6SN7. I regret selling it off.
  15. Ald196, If you haven't already, I would suggest contacting Kilpsch Customer Service HERE If you scroll down, you'll notice there are Help Subject boxes. Box #12 is for Bluetooth issues, and there is an option to either phone, or submit an e-mail for support. I had a warranty issue with my RSB-11 subwoofer, and Klipsch responded brilliantly. Top-notch support.
  16. Check your browser history. You should be able to see the thread there, unless your browser automatically deletes you browser history when exiting.
  17. I second George's suggestion about auto volume levelling. I have a Klipsch rsb-11, and love the night time mode. It turns off the sub, and limits and/or cmpresses dynamics. Given the sometimes excessive dynamic range of some videos, it comes in very handy when watching late at night. Keep the neighbors happy.
  18. usb to rs 232 adapters are cheap and transparent to use. Just load the driver, and you're good to go.
  19. I saw a pair of used Klipsch Cornwalls advertised in the local classified. This was in the early 80s. I was in high school at the time and was already into hifi. I call the guy, set up a time to see them, show up on time, and found he wasn't home. His wife said, "He decided he wants to keep them". I was pretty disappointed, but who can blame him? A few years later, in '86, a local audio shop opened and they were a Klipsch dealer. They had a pair of brand new raw birch Cornwalls for sale, $1140. I had a decent job at that point, so I decide this is it. I was living with a roomate in an old house with 4 rental units. He was as excited as I was; we headed down to the shop, picked them up, raced home, and set them up. I had an old Denon 80W integrated amp, put on some music, and blasted them as loud as we could stand. It lasted about 10 seconds, which was the time it took our upstairs neighbor to fly down the stairs and scream at the top of her lungs, "TURN IT DOWN!". We pissed ourselves laughing. "WHAT D'YOU SAY?"
  20. I have a nice pair of updated La Scalas, but am wayyy too far north. I still had to post, though, to tell you I like your avatar. The King!
  21. I believe it's the AL crossovers that are spoken poorly of, not the AL-3s (as many have pointed out).
