While waiting on OB, look here: http://community.klipsch.com/forums/t/100112.aspx
BTW, saw Chorus on craigslist yesterday while looking at Florida: Price $450? Happy Hunting!

Now that speaks volumes for the "Klipsch corner Khorn"!!! Got to give a conscious listen to, sometime soon!From previous posts: Been some time now since Mike Lindsay hauled his new Chorus IIs over to my old Palm Beach Gardens house to compare them to my super-sensitive walnut-oiled Cornwall 1s, with B2 crossovers. He graduated to LaScalas (now modified with ALK crossovers and Altec 511B horns) and I moved up, way up, to classic Klipsch corner Khorns. At the time, I remember thinking the Chorus shared far more similarities with the Corns than major differences. Since my Corns had a prodigious mid-bass and upper-end bounce, I would NOT be surprised if this problem was solved in the newer, slimmer Chorus models.
I do remember the more attractive looking Chorus were a few hundred dollars less than what Cornwalls sell for (about the same as now). I thought this lower price made Chorus models cheap to the market = undervalued for their capabilities. I think the Corns or the under-rated Chorus models give 65-75% of the classic Klipsch corner Khorn sound for less than half the price.

***May get more action over at the "Garage Sale" section of this Forum with a WTB: Cornwall/LaScala!!!
I have the itch to move on up the klipsch line.I have already had the ksp 400,then kg 400 ,now its time for some cornwalls or la' scalas .I need a new fix bad for I am going nuts after hearing a friends cornwalls.They sounded better than my Tyler Linbrooks signatures with my MF KW 500 pushing them.I am ready to sell all of that stuff and get a small tube amp and some kickass klipsch speakers of some kind.Will that Kw 500 MF be to much for the cornwalls or La'Scalas? -

What was thinking, but didn't know how to say! Agree!

I've dabbled in it and used to like to make wheat beer. Always came out a little too strong and my teeth would go numb. Sure tasted good though.
I'm a wino now but if your starting out I would go easy and just get one of the boxed kits and, if possible, find a local store for the ingredients. Save your money on things like chillers and kegs until you've done a few batches and find a style of beer you like. Fil your kitchen sink with ice and some water and chill the wort down that way. Stir it occasionally with a large metal spoon you clean after each use. It will redistribute the heat and cool it faster.
In addition to what's provided in the kit you will need a fairly large pot, easily obtainable at a restaurant supply store. Try to get one with a fairly thick bottom because if not you can easily burn the bottom of your batch.
Drink up a case or two of bottled bear that uses openers not screw tops. If you go to a party or two, friends houses etc. you can build up a case or two of empties in no time flat. Cheaper than buying new bottles.
Sanitize, santize, sanitize. You need clean stuff for good beer. Start simple with a lager. When it's time to bottle put the container on the kitchen shelf over the dish washer. Spills are inevitable and the dish washer will catch them Store in cool dry place (basement, unused bathtub, dark corner of the house. Be prepared to smell some yeast for a couple of days when it starts brewing up.
For recipes, advice, etc. buy the "New Complete Joy of Home Brewing".
The "Brewers Best" line of kits is inexpensive and has everything you need but the ingedients. Use fresh yeast and fresh hops. Syrups can be canned. Unless you have a good filter on your tapwater buy those 2 /2 gallon jugs of water at the store. Do not add more sugar at the end then called for. You are making liquid bread and it's best to follow the recipes to the letter until you get better at it.
Go cheap at first because it may end up being too much of a hassle so don't spend money that you may need for your audio habit.

My friend used stovetop, although like the sound of a crabcooker! He did not use a chiller! When wort cooled off...he added it to his 6 gallon solid glass clear container which had water already in halfway. When he added more water than a standard 5 gallon plastic bottle, he was able to control or stretch(choice) his wort to create a lighter brew. When bottle cooked down, we added a small dose of sucrose to each sturdy bottle before capping. In the night, you could hear a bottle shatter due to the small amount of healthy yeast continuing the fermentation proccess, with the sugar delivering that extra special kick in alchohol.Waiting that 2 weeks for the treat sometimes was unbearable. After 1 week, wee would do a sample. Ahhhhhhh.......delightful!
Friend had been brewing then around 20 years. Neighbors, friends experimented with double hopping, licorice, etc. Was just one long endless sampling of "Homebrew Heaven"!
BTW, his last name is Brewer!

Figured you figured it out! Not hip to those things! Just basics!Like most of my tech problems, I look for solutions in the wrong places. The problem wasn't with the iGroove but the iPod: If you want to send video from your iPod to your TV, you must enable the video out setting on the iPod. Once I did that, I had no more trouble.
Glad you got back with us though, thanks & cool!

Whoaa..... he was the "God Of Hellfire" for a short......Billybob,
We used to do that as kids, except we used balloons and pieces of paper to ignite them. Dad used to wonder why his welding tanks were low. A friend thought that balloons were too small and tried a garbage bag. Unfortunately for him, the static electricity from the bag opening as it filled, lit the gas and removed most of his hair. It did grow back much later.

Now that is a rare one...beauty indeed!How did Macho Man get in those boxes? That was supposed to be sent as a present to one of my ex-wive's husbands. Darn, now I'll have to get out the Vicky's Secret catalogue and see what's embarassing...
I notice you did NOT post a picture of the original Blind Faith babe with the 57' Chevy hood ornament....

Gonna guess that 1-S video input on rear panel of the Sony, and you rechecked your connection to make sure cable is seated asll the way. And when in the video settings menu, you have maybe a clue to which setting, but if not doing all 6 seems right thing to do to troubleshoot. I ipod playing while checking,etc, Is this 1st time for this set?Does the onscreen graphic on Sony show s-video or video when adjust setting?>
Please let us know what the fix is please and welcome! Keep posting so someone can help also.
Thanks!

Featuring a “boat-tail” enclosure, the P-39F’s cabinet walls are up to 30mm thick with multiple laminations of medium density fiberboard that have been molded through a proprietary process. Extensive internal bracing gives the speaker a more rigid and structurally sound enclosureHow thick is the enclosure? One inch? Does it vary in thickness?

Good enough for me! Am sure more engineer-types will appreciate your response!The frequency response measurement is recorded at +/- 3dB...the extension frequency at around -10db.
I could have an engineer-type explain it much better, but that's what I've got for you for the time being.
Thanks!
