  1. Like the sound of it! I do start higher, so room to "Dicker"!
  2. Deep Purple In Rock! Although you may get more than just bass!
  3. OK! I until recently had that way of looking at OBO as less than. Maybe others generally do also. Yes, that would be discourteous to name a price then, do a holdout. *Daddy Dee wrote: OTOH, something listed without an asking price, but as best offer only would be understood appropriately as something like an auction of indefinite duration. Now just an OBO, calls for an auction-like deal. OK! I can see what you mean. Thanks!
  4. When I place an ad on CL for a good example, and an OBO, I am opening the door, in my mind at least, to receiving an offer up to, and even exceeding my price as posted. This is my understanding by the very definition, as I understand it, of OBO. Is this in fact an invitation(OBO) to bid, as in auction, or is it a more subtle approach, to something completely different? For instance I receive continous offers, where I let the potential buyers, lets say know that in a given length of time, (there is that auction thing again) example 24 hours that I accept the highest, or best offer. Sure would dislike having a seller keep going up in price because of other parties jacking up an item, if I were on the receiving end of an OBO, or even worse, no OBO. Is that just all part of the game? Sellers playing games? Got a feeling I am complicating a simple thing, however, do things sometime not get complicated, by a lack of understanding/clarification of a buy/sell role that is defined? Often, I feel more comfortable with a listed as: Firm On Price. FWIW, I have a very limited experience with online buy/sell! I'll stop now before I muddy this subject any further in my own head![*-)]
  5. Strikes me that price brochure still rings true with maintaing and exceeding price list for the heritage items listed there. Amazing products!
  6. Oh, BTW, did I mention these T-500's sound pretty good! Listening to Roy Orbison to check different sounds! They seem to be able to fill a 20x20 room with decent volume. Not having heard an Heresy or a Forte, I may be hearing a hybrid-like sound.
  7. Isn't that a little rude?: http://www.insidetech.com/news/articles/1450-virginia-upholds-felony-spam-conviction
  8. Nice clear pic of the grain! Hoew about a pic of the finished product please.
  9. Allmans' is a Trucks connection! If you're not familiar with J. Winter and his brother, then you have a lot to listen forward to! Just pick an album, specially Johnny Winter And! Rock/Blues
  10. Good song![8] Bad situation![&][N]
  11. Taxman? Yes man, [li][um][st][W][6][O]Bummer!

Reply Favorites Contact I have a pair of the Tangent 400 and 500 speakers (purchased off Craigslist), and two sets of Heresy II components (purchase off ebay). Both the 400's and 500's have a crossover circuit board installed on the termianl cup that are marked "Hersey II" on the boards. They have the same capacitor values as the actual Hersey II's. The inductors are not marked but I believe that they are also the same as the Heresy II. (which makes sense because they all used the K-76-K tweeter, K-53-K midrange driver on a K-701 horn, and the K-24-K woofer) The only real difference between the three models appears to be in the design of and the craftmanship used in making the box. The Tangent 400 is ported, the Tangent 500 incorporates a passive radiator
  13. You know, I probably need my x-over redone, or look to active x-over for the Chorus, but sounding good presently. *Height *Horns/Driver (In Common with T-500) Chorus - 39" N/A? Forte - 35.4" KD-13 12"PR (Forte1& Quartet also) K-53K 90X40 Exp. Mid (HII) Heresy- 21.4" K-24-K Poly Cone 12" Woofer, K-53-K 90X40 Exp. Mid, K-76-K 90X40 High (HII & Qt.) T-500 - 40.5" K-24-K " " " " " " " KD-13 PR Screwed that up royally but most in common with HII, then Forte 1 / Quartet. Just verifying height more in common with Chorus/Forte. FWIW.............LOL!
  14. Never heard the Heresys' or the Fortes' consciously. Only my Chorus can I compare with. I will try to look it up but past discussions here yielded where a member actually discovered an HII x-over in a T-500 or T-400. This could be the case, I will look some more.I was saying that a Forte x-over may be more of a match given more in common size/shape. Past somewhat limited discussions here have some disliking or liking with some passion. May be too controversial to discuss. Or may be controversial enough for it's own thread. An advantage I may have is that I am only biased towards Chorus, at least for now.
  15. Got a nice condition T-500, or Tangent 500 pair recently. Or, the more proper: Tangent By Klipsch label. They are a radical(?) forward leaning, tangential sounding array. I've been catching up on older discussions regarding various subjects. Read Heresy 2 x-over, Heresy components mostly match.I've borrowed some mutually agreed upon findings(language) from archive on subject, for posting my first impressions.Passive 12 inch PR.......Taller than my Chorus....was trying to compare to a Forte instead of Heresy. Maybe do a Forte x-over? The *Dr. did the math for woofercab port for the T-400, which equals a 500's cabinet size/volume. PR on the 500 via a 12 inch drone. It's like you almost have to forget everything, you ever thought was right, or reject the whole idea. Or, accept it for what it is, (what is it?) adapt to the sound, and refrain from modding a Classic. Experiment: Let listener's say aloud, if speakers are spacing them...,...etc. lol
  16. There are a bunch of pic of the Palladium models in the Photo gallery (just click the "photos" link on the page above). BillH: To answer your question, the center channel is on track to be $3500, but that is not final yet. Had seen the center & sub before, but now just saw the bookshelf and surround speakers! Nice! Guess I missed them earlier.Thanks!
  17. Last Train To Clarksville Werewolves Of London ............"Like A Martyr"? I'll look out for it!
  18. Buddy Miles Express Band Of Gypsys Good drummer!
  19. Sounds like some pictures exist, somewhere!
  20. Pleasant Valley Sunday - Monkees(feel good song) Stepping Stone (I'm Not)
