Hopefully Paul W Klipsch & Frank Zappa will never be forgotten. Two great men Indeed.
PS. I wonder what Frank did with that "Margerine"

I have that exact receiver , Love it But make sure you get the
MACC mike for setup. I might be wrong but i don't think you can do
anything untill you run the MACC set up program, and you need the mike that is supplied with the receiver.Tommy boy is right, once you manually dial in the MACC it is a great receiver.

Live music is not laid back. You can hardly read anything with some
else playing the violin or the piano in the same room. The sound of
live instrument is too much ... in your face.It
depends, All I listen to are Live DVD concerts, with a pair of
LaScalas and Cornwalls hooked up in 2 channel mode.When
people comment on my stereo, they say, Man it is like being there .
That said does that mean all live shows are in your face.Yes if you have ACDC cranked , then hell yes it is in your face as it should be.
<>But i also listen to many unplugged shows that sound warm and full. Also a lot depends on the MIX. As
for Horn versus , I have owned many
different types of Speakers and I allways come back to Klipsch ,
but I would not want Klipsch to be the only speakers people can choose
from.<> But your right about one thing , when I am playing
a concert No one is reading anything. They just sit there and enjoy. -
Hi
I am running a Pioneer elite receiver with the main
pre out into a carver TFM-25 ( 250 x2) with my Corns and let me tell
you when the meters are showing about 5 watts it is loud , 50 watts it
is really loud, and when its hits 100 to 150 we are talking live PA
sound level that not only is super loud but you start to feel air
pressure on you. I am in a 35 x 20 room.What Squaker drivers are those ? My corn 1 have K-55's , just like my LaScalas
Tom
PS My Elite also has the MCAA set up EQ and it rocks.You can dial any thing in perfect.

Can I add
21. Jesus saves or Jesus loves me road side billboads. -
Ditto on everthing said, I have Two TCM 25's and they work
great with my La Scalas and Cornwalls, but to be honest I think the
Cornwalls would sound good with any amp or reciever hooked up to it.<> I
am loving the cornwalls more every Day, IMHO the best
sounding speakers I have ever owned.Tom

Happy B day Mike, welcome to the club. If we could just find a way to stop aging at the big 50 that would be great.

I would love to have the problems of a 250 Thousand a year tax
payer. Yes Maybe they are being unfaily taxed by the numbers, but If
you are wealthy you have a much better life than some poor saps that
have had some bad breaks ( maybe thier fault maybe not)<> In
my town we have a guy who owns a business ( batting Cages) who
has made a fortune but is always complainings about his taxes.I told him I will gladly pay his taxes if I also have his income.
But I agree with Amy on this one. Best to keep this forum about Speakers.

I also have that same receiver. I like it alot , it is hooked up to
a pair of LaScalas, Mostly 2 channel Dvd concerts. although I only use
it as a pre amp into my carver amp. You do have to read the manual but
is fairly simple to set up and i like the eq and sound adjustment for
each channel. I bought mine new in the box from Hi fi heaven and
it was like 700 no tax plus shipping. Have not got
around to the whole 7 channel thing yet, but I bet it will work
great.Here is the link.

Check this guy out, I bought one and it really works well. Great guy to deal with.
Good luck
Tom

(1) You need a sub-woofer. Yes for the most part yes
, especially if you crank them up,but it depends on the music you
listen to and the music source is cd or dvd or movies. also
sometimes I find I am turnig the sub almost off and sometimes I have to
turn it up more. I think it depends on the musi you listen to and how
it is mixed. My LaScalas but out plenty of Bass, I cannot put any thing
on mine unless I want to find it on the floor in the morning.(2).
You should use tube amp and pre-amp. Probably would not hurt, but I
just run a Pioneer Elite reciever as my pre amp with a old Carver amp
and I love it.(3). You should use GOOD silver speakers cables and
interconnects. Also probably would not hurt but i have always used just
basic 12 Guage and I have tested high-end speaker cables and I cannot
tell any difference, but I am just a novice compared to people most
people who have LaScalas.(4) You should have a room min. of 20’
x 20’ Most Definetly, when I bought my LaScalas from a forum
member his living room was tiny compared to mine My lower lever is at
least 30 x 20 and it was overwelming at his house , but sounds great at
mine . Also carpeting versus hard floors it really smoothed the sound
out.(5) Placement is fussy . just plunked then down turn them a little have not moved them since.

Eric Clapton is a great show, but now that I have a pair of
LaScalas and a 50” Plasma & a upconverting DVD player I can see a
Clapton concert anytime in my home. The best part is I don’’t have to
drink crap beer for 7 dollars a cup & I have my own bath room.
Plus you can’t order a pizza @ a concert venue.
Here are some suggestions for some great clapton shows on DVD.
(1) Robert Johnson Sessions.
(2) Both Crossroads shows Dallas & Chicago
(3) One more car One more Rider from LA. I start out every friday night with this one,
Builly Preston & David Sanctious , It does not get any better than that.
(4) Live from Hide Park
(5). Cream from Royal Albert Hall. My LaScalas love this one.
(6) Concert For George.
I never was much of a Clapton fan but he sure makes great live concert DVD’s.
Good luck with the concert tickets.
P.s Amy your son is the coolest, I am sure his father is very proud. Especialy that he keeps you on your toes.
Am I the only 1?
