The objective! After a spot of cleaning. You can still see a faint vertical line from the old KH seal. Cleaned up all the hair form the mutt even.

No more help I'm on my own

Crowded house now

A a dolly a wife and a lot of panting later I have a good bit upstairs

Lookin good

Fortunately the delivery guy had a pallet jack so in the garage they go. Otherwise I'd have been dragging them piece by piece from the street. We both noticed a corner of the box missing so he wanted things checked while he waited. I had to rush a bit so the shippers incurred some field surgery. I never found a problem at that point. They are packed well.

Hold on, I need to go find my wellbutrin. I'll be right back.
-
There they are. They even put them in the corner of the truck. Guess that counts toward the break-in period.

Hey those don't look like KHorns!

Coytee – thank youse thank youse thank youse
Speakerfritz – she dephonitally knows that – I actually
asked her if I should just leave the white foamy packing stuff on the bottom so
she could vacuum near them. She got the
point …. again.Chicago
– thank you and she is. She actually
preferred the looks of KHorns over a lot of other stuff I contemplated
including some B&W’s. Go
figure. She picked me and KHorns. I’m lucky.Dtel – you hit it on the head. I am so happy I can still move my back today
after the dolly and the front stairs.
Whew. My arms and legs would up
mush.Colter – yup done and done yesterday. I write to escape reality.
Fini – We have very happy corners in the tree house indeed

Notice how green my front yard is - I fertilized with Round-up. Die baby Die ...

George, what the he** is in that #%&@ing truck parked in front of our house? You're in trubble buster ...
Gee hon, I even took the day off to be with you!

And what pray tell were you expecting? Of course they come in a truck. No Prius for dem babies

Having had Mark's handmedown KornerHorners (heh), which hooked me apparently for life, I sold thoese beautybeasties to FBender. Alas, I am a trader by nature but wont for my lost love. Thusforeheretobe, I snagged the half price KHorns from Vann's. Well, they arrived so I'll post what a new KHorn adventure is like for those of you other traders who have never seen the stack of boxes if nothing else. Forgive me in advance if I get sidetracked, I have an attention span oft measurable in nanoseconds.
So - out with the Cornwalls whos SP level could lower the tide I do believe - http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/117914.aspx
Thus I shall begin the post of how a NIB CornerHorn O Plenty arrives -

I also have an Ampeg flip top jazz bass amp from the 50's
It is time to vibrate some air!
Thump!
An early B-15 perhaps? I miss mine.

Excellent idea! Be careful about the label and word of warning - Snowball may turn into Spewball if cleaning at 45 rpm.
-
Yeah, you can't drink the leftovers either. Vodka is looking better all the sudden.

"Again, I found this and continue to find it hard to believe, but
there was nothing else involved and it happened to me twice. I now use
Ivory liquid, distilled water for really dirty records and a swiffer
for a simple wipe before play of clean ones.Dave"
I'm pretty much with Dave with a bit of a tweak. You can go to Walgreens or the local drugstore and buy isopropyl alcohol that is ~99.9 percent pure. The stuff on the shelf is usually around 90. Order it from the pharmacy for about 3 bucks a botter rather than regular at a buck. I mix it 50-60% with distilled water and a drop of fragrance free liquid dish soap. Evaporates very fast.
Regarding the water itself there are many choices. "Really pure" water would be of a lab grade that likely has gone through multiple distillations or resin beds with a corresponding price adjustment. Of the off shelf options distilled might be the lowest cost water which around me is priced equal to filtered. Deinonized might have fewer minerals, but unless you know about the resin base it's a variable. I bet with distilled or deionized you won't see gunk buildup. If I was to use vodka all my vinyl would have tongue marks or olive parts.

I'll jump in!
"As for wireless streaming equaling the sound of CD playback, I'll think it's best we just agree to differ." - I feel by definition computer stored music should be superior because there is no need for a CD player midstream to attempt multiple reads to address errors. It is already reading from an accurate source.
If you can get bit perfect transfer via wireless what else do you need, a DAC to convert to analog and possibly address clocking issue regarding jitter? Money can solve that and some would argue it can't be heard anyway. From my perspective, using a 2 ch system as a point of reference why even bother with wireless unless noise is an issue from the storage device? Ok, so you want to run multiple systems ...
Regarding jitter a quote from Gordon at Wavelength - "Every USB DAC you have ever
heard uses Adaptive Mode USB Audio. This means the computer
controls the audio transfer rate, and the USB device has to
follow along updating the Master Clock (MCLK) every one
millisecond. The USB bus runs at 12MHz, which is unrelated
to the audio sample rate of any digital audio format (i.e.
44.1K requires a MCLK = 11.2896MHz). Therefore Adaptive
Mode USB DACs must derive the critical master audio clock
by use of a complex Frequency Synthesizer. Since the
computer is handling many tasks at once, the timing of the
USB audio transfers has variations. This leads to jitter in
the derived clock, which means you are not getting the
maximum sonic potential available from computer-based
audio."I believe there are re-clockers available in external DACS.
As I see it there are supporters for firewire, USB, TOSLINK, etc. I think USB maxes out at 24/96, firewire 24/192 or 196 I forget. Point here is that a) can anyone hear the difference between 24/96 192? - I have no real clue.
gonna take a lot of cheapo storage for that collection of hi-res. As I see it KMixer in Win XP still remains an issue to deal with. MediaMonkey output plugin called waveOut gets you ASIO bypassing K-mixer using Win XP (I think). You can get there using ASIO sound cards too I would think.
Running at 24 bit 96 or higher isn't going to do much if your input source is 128/256.
You can certainly deliver hi-res wireless using an airport extreme base station. Back to needing lots o cheap-o storage tho ...
Playback software is largely a matter of preference proividing you are delivering a perfect reproduction of the source.
Why compress at all given cheap storage?
Why not get a Mac and skip the ASIO, etc issues. AIFF tags and works easy. Some people hate iTunes and will go to great lengths to avoid it.
PC for work, Mac for camera/music!
Turn it up!

I have just bought a pair of used Khorns, and I'm trying to determin if they will fit into my daugther's SUV.
Thanks so much
gary
What kind of amps is she going to use to power them? I guess she'll use an iPod input? Does she need a roof mount pre-amp? If you point them backwards they might help the gas mileage ...

Mark - jam a couple of those orange traffic cones in yer ears and retest. You might hear the mice before the cat does!

We use Keurig
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11297069&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=〈=en-US&s=1
and just an old frothing expresso maker
The Keurig is VERY nice and easy. Bit loud but fast. I can stumble to the coffee maker with eyes near closed and have a hot cup in 30 or so seconds.

AIFF or WAV for apple

What's a NIB KHorn like?

Turn them upside down and remove the box ... alone. If I wasn't so eager to hear them I'd go start drinking. These babies are winning the war. I like what I see.
