I used to buy and sell at Audiogon but stopped selling when the kept raising their rates. US Audio Mart / Cannuck Audio Mart is free to sell (at least for now). I do look at Audiogon to buy as it doesn't cost anything for buyers. There was a time when Audiogon was free.

I've had a few sets of the GLS locking plugs for about four years or so. I like them. I am going to need a few more and will likely get the same. Note that they are 100% metallic.

In a previous home, I had my Khorns in a room almost identical in size to what you have. Initially, I had the Khorns along the 23' wall (my room may have been 22') and they sounded incredible. Both speakers pointed pretty much directly at my ears in my sitting position. I later added a projector and the only way I could get the projector to fit was to put the screen on the 16' wall which necessitated moving the Khorns to along the 16' wall. My new sitting position was now further back relatively speaking and the "crossing point" of the speakers was now in front of me. The Khorns still sounded incredible.

But then, it appears he did have six Klipschorns at one time...
On 1/9/2008 at 9:55 AM, Q-Man said:I built a pair, because I read that this was one speaker that got it right. I loaded it with Klipschorn networks and drivers to compare it to the Klipschorn. 50 Hz and below it makes the Klipschorn sound like a book shelf speaker. It pounds you with clean bass, and it's cool how the bass also exits around the midrange and tweeter horns. I measured it with warble test tones and a Rat Shack sound level meter. I think it was about 6 db louder at 50 Hz on down to 25 or 30 Hz., where the Klipschorn doesn't even go. It could be a speaker to die for with a little tweaking.
Someday I may get rid of my six Klipschorns and go Imperial. First, I would need to get one of the speakers to John Warren or someone close to me who is capable of measuring it, and figurings out the best 15" woofer to use in it. Maybe the K-33 is ok to use? I have to look it up, but the bass horn is good to 600 or 700 Hz. That means it would be easier to find a good midrange driver and horn for it. You could even go two way with this bass horn. Maybe I should bite the bullet and gat one to John.
It is also easier to build then a Klipschorn.

Ah yes, I think you are correct about the Imperials. You have a better memory than me.

Yes, Q-Man was one of them (maybe the first). His posts are on here somewhere.

I love having the enclosed backs - they don't have to sit in a corner.
They don't have to, but they will sound better. Klipschorns need corner wall lengths of at least 4 feet in order to reproduce the lowest frequencies.

I have never heard of anybody doing that, so congratulations for thinking outside the box.
It's been done. @Q-Man did it many years ago:

If you're primarily looking at solid state, I'd also suggest Jeff Rowland. They are definitely pricey even on the used market but I'm not sure what your budget is. I've used with Klipsch with very good results.
Another great "high-end" solid state brand that doesn't seem to get talked about very much around here that I really like is Classé Audio. They are a good value for the performance and are very, very smooth.

Actually, Deion fired the first shot -- many of them in fact over the course of Romo's career. It was probably his way at just poking back at Deion just a tiny bit -- tiny in the sense that even Deion admitted he wasn't a tackler. As an analyst, I guess you can say that is part of Deion's job. The problem with him is he he's completely unable to take the same criticism he gives to others. Firing a shot back wouldn't have been that bad, but he went all out and went way, way, way under the belt. What's worse is that Deion is very involved with young kids and attempts to be a role model. Hopefully those that view him as such didn't see the way he reacted.

At least Deion admitted he "didn't know the address to the high road." He sure proved it.

Made in 1978. CD stands for "Cornwall Decorator." The "Decorator" is a model that comes unfinished (hence the Birch Raw designation) and without a grill as your photos show.
Suggest you take more photos showing all sides, that will help with your sale especially given the condition you state.

Yes, they are more expensive, but they can be found within his price range as I was able to do. I think I paid $2400 before taxes and the original price was $5k.

Take a look at JVC. I ended up getting one in your price range not that long ago (via model closeout sale) at the recommendation from MetroLake. In addition to the fantastic blacks, it also has the lens memory feature that allows switching from CinemaScope to 16:9 format and back at the touch of a button. A CinemaScope format screen is needed to take advantage of this feature. If you watch a lot of movies, you should consider this -- what a difference it makes! I wasn't aware of this until someone recommended that on this forum (can't remember who, but you can search the forum for CinemaScope). Man-oh-man, am I glad I did this. I'm extremely pleased with the projector as well as the screen format!

I'll start with what I have. These are TV stands I got from Circuit City about 15 years ago. I think they were made by Gusdorf. I remember I paid about $100 each for them. They are really great. They were made for the large and extremely heavy tube televisions. They have large shelves and can hold a ton of weight. Each one probably weighs about 50 pounds. The poles are made of steel and are about three inches in diameter. There are four shelves and they are made of MDF. The poles came in silver but I painted them black. I would love to find a couple more of these as I've ran out of room but of course they don't make them anymore and it would probably be impossible to find them used. I'd bet some of these eventually were just thrown away.

What kind of audio rack(s) are you using? Post some pictures and let us know how you like them. Did you build your own? If so, show them off!

For pure musical enjoyment, a pair of Klipschorns are extremely tough to beat when set up just right.
-
What about TADs?
-
I see side grills on the bass bins so they are either Type B or C.

I came across this image one day and wondered if the 402s could be painted similarly. I believe these were painted with automotive paint by someone that knows what they were doing. That could surely look nice!

I assume these settings only work with the stock drivers the Jubilees come with. Would these settings also become available for other drivers?

You just joined today? Where have you been the past 32 years?!
Lots of people here have restored Klipsch speakers -- some end up looking incredible.
I sent my old crossovers to Bob Crites and he replaced all the caps. I was pleased with the results.
P.S. Welcome to the forum and make sure to post some photos.
-
Depending on the age of your La Scalas, they may need the crossover capacitors replaced. Bob Crites is a good source for replacements. Provided there are no damaged drivers, they shouldn't need anything else. La Scalas may not go as low as other speakers, but what they do produce will be very clean. You will hear an improvement in the bass if you can place them in corners.
Take a look at these Cornwalls
