  1. Glad to read you got your Cornwalls,*OB!Found out here my Chorus are 89's and they sound great. Also read where mine are more expensive to x-over upgrade,repair. If it is just the caps,etc, I can do that(am sure?) although, speakers look stock, and so far I've not been curious enough to go into them......yet. X-over is on other side of binding post panel (?) and may be the same (?) on the Forte ll ??? Guessing would have to pull woofer(?) to get to.
  2. Well, we could cull out Klipsch owners as a Special Forces unit...Since our hearing is generally pretty good and we generally understand "critical listening", we could handle sensitive night operations (hell, we're up alot at night anyways). We should also set up our FOB's (Forward Operating Bases) with Jubilees in the big mess tent, etc. And to be really crafty about it... Everytime we did a night operation and wacked bad guys (with all those fun explosives y'all really like!!) we would leave a "Bose" calling card with the enemy General's cell phone number on the back of the card to call for complaints. A true psycho(logical) operation. LOL! General what is that music coming across the desert? Hell, I don't know, my cellphone keeps ringing with people complaining about a "Wave"! We better leave now!
  3. LOL! And the one's not out yet will be surrendering in droves cause: Show video of the of the "Old Farts" waking up with hangovers and hemmoroids p****d off that they've been called out of retirement, just to help them along to meet their maker. Cussing & asking for their rubber panties, and a little "hair of the dog."
  4. There is a Forte/Quartet topic/thread that is a good read here as no doubt known. Yes, I need to keep them in mind! Sweet looking! Big Brother Chorus, Forte, Quartet.Not necessarily in that order!? http://www.klipsch.com/products/discontinued/details/quartet.aspx Around for 7 years, should be several out there competing with market. Must speak to something dictating value. Same period as for Forte 2 http://www.klipsch.com/products/discontinued/details/forte-ii.aspx
  5. After the conversation at the forum regarding these speakers, my next want is the Forte, as they will reveal what I am missing in the bottom end. Just happy as a clam with Chorus and looking to Forte now to fill out/compliment the other. Do think they would!?!
  6. Honey what is that oversized van doing in the driveway? Oh that, well you know that wall in the room we did not know how to decorate?[6]Surprise[<)]
  7. Who says you can't find something good for a $1.00 I'll be looking for a bargain!
  8. Typically, coaxial does not care what is being waveguided through it. It is the most cost effective way (presently) to do it...i.e. since/during WW2. Care should be taken to choose the right coax! RG-6 is the most common! RG-59 for sat/cable may not consistently work, as too lossy over distance.RG-11 too costly and overkill, unless going non-typical distance. A good RG-6 rated for digital, around 3Ghz swept(test) is sufficient without any eye-appreciable degradation, without line-amplification for typical 150+ feet. Cable/OTA broadcast signals are terrestrial via extraterrestrial or satellite. So having a satellite dish is the most efficient versus cable. Keep your OTA local feed from outside antenna to tuner as short as possible.

  10. Maybe more can enjoy it with the DVD director's cut! My GF grabs the remote now at any mention of Das Boot! 1st time was OK, but she needs to watch it 5 or more times to hear all the details like: Realism In Depth Charges![~] Spellbinding best of class & beyond!
  11. Meanwhile, I may be seeing a more than usual selling (CL) of all types of TV's,(HD's)which may be more than the typical after Christmas sell-off. Between now and the end of the year I expect to do a flat screen wider format upgrade for a second watching space. Lots of SonyTrinitrons out there, some at give-a-way prices.
  12. Ahhh....yes, Guiness Stout! It'll make a stout rightupstanding fellow out of you! Drink your medicine!
  13. Enter Netflix,Blockbuster! Can see having a personal archive on CD but yes, owning anything but the most interesting for reviewing may be oldhat. Most certainly for some this is true. People do what they like, but after collecting VHS tapes to the ceiling, some(?) are turning to the fast disposable market, i. e.... rent, download, (with the option to save/delete)IPPV. Tools like the DVR for viewing convenience. Instant grat. (or close) is where the consumer is(general). So some indespensible hardware(DVR,DVD) with a flexi-format input/ output capability would be my personal simplistic choice. Too bad it's a bit too naive as well. Twould seem that the innovations may be just starting, with the consumer playing the catch-up game. I'm just now really getting hip to the CD, and it may be(soon)becoming obsolete before I finally arrive. "Faster Than The Speed Of Life."
  14. Informative & interesting.....concur with wanting some more. Thanks!
  15. "pyroacoustic amplification" or "Dragon" loudspeaker.... 20dB increase...Wow1 Acetylene & oxygen = Torch or... The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown! Fire!...FFFFFire!
  16. Wow, the Sumo wrestlers are more clear than the presenter's face! If this is the next wave of things to come....lookout! We're gonna need a bigger boat!
  17. Thelma Lou & Barn were record spinners, doing the Watutsi!
  18. 14 gauge...cool1 The second pic looks quality. Use some for my terminal strip on old receiver(s)! Should have clearance!
  19. I have 1, Super Session. Like Donovans' cut greatly! Heard live, when saw the Fudge!(67 or 68) Tim Bogert, Carmen Appice went on to form/create "Cactus" a kickass hard rock because of Beck's accident prevented the "Beck Bogert & Appice" venture sooner. Correct me if you remember different *OB. Wonder how many versions of "Keep me hangin on."
  20. $300 pair /div. by 2 = $150 single + speakers and electronics = ? [A] LOL! Guess I need a catalog!
  21. Hmmm....smoker beer(ale) without the smoke!?! Cheers! Going to try a Chill...chelada style!
  22. Did not you really mean to say: LFE inputs................V-3000's "subwoofer" audio output jack. ...?
