Shocks and springs are lowered 23 inches? Sounds like it could limbo low, lower, lowest, mon.
Seriously, though, what does it do in the quarter?
2 inches, hit both keys in the dark. I need a lighted key board !

Got a pic?
I had downloaded all my pics of when she was at Jon Cornels shop onto the VMOA Technical sight but I can't remember my password and don't even know if the sight still exists. Jon Cornel who did my bike died of lung cancer. I will ask his wife if she still has any. The bike is out sitting in my kids play house and needs fininshed. zero miles since I had all the work done and just sits since my buddy died.

found some of the numbers (two out of three) thanks to Wiki sure you can find those copies now. check out the patent list.
Firearm vibration control. US patent 2302699. Klipsch, P.W., 11/14/1942.[14]
Thanks dude !
I have a couple of modern barrel tuners on some of my guns. Several manufacturers are producing them and this info has been lost to time and I want it to become common knowledge!
Look up E.C. Tuner under Erick Cortina on YouTube.

Hey Jim,
Could you please post copies of Paul's three patents on firearms please ?

In this case, ABSOLUTELY !!!
LaScala play down to about 55 HZ. but the Bass Bin is two short so LaScala don't even act as a horm until 100 Hz. and above. The TSCM Bass bin plays flat down to 35 Hz.

Aren't the bottoms K Horns with false corners?
No, they are actual corners built into the Bass Bin.

No they're Pro subs.
No, they are Klipsch TSCM or Klipsch Pro Klipschorn Bass Bins. TSCM stands for Theatre Stage Corner Monitors and they ARE Klipschorn Bass Bins with the backs, tops and bottoms of the Klipschorn are completed out of 3/4 inch plywood. The TSCM bass bin plays down to 35 Hz and earlier ones have K-33E square magnet woofers rated at 100 watts RMS where as later ones have a K-44E that was only used in the TSCM bass bin and is rated at 269 watts RMS. On a small theatre, they would use Three LaScala and two TSCM Bass Bins, in a midsize Theatre, they would use three TSCM's and might also use two more TSCM Bass Bins or two MWM double bass bins and on large theatres, they would use three MCM-1900 3-way and later the used three MCM-1900 4-way speaker systems plus an extra two MWM Bass Bins. The TSCM also has it's own TSCM only top hat that is completely different as well. I used to own five TSCM top hats and eleven TSCM Bass Bins. I now own seven complete TSCM speakers.

The exact placement of the driver dictates that both waves will be in phase with each other though.
In phase yes, Carl, but still time lagged and cannot be corrected. Therefore any time there is a tonal change, it will have milli seconds of smear of the last note as the second wave exits the horn. Is this noticeable? For most, I would say the brain corrects for this but I am certain you would notice it in an A/B comparison with a true horn sub just like your brain corrects for time misalignment and you don't notice it until you A/B with time alignment.
That big a deal, probably not but I think we all strive for the closest to perfection that we can achieve. This is for someone with plenty of extra space...

Am I missing something, or doesn’t the output from the rear of the driver conflict or interfere with the front output coming down the horn? At the very least, it would be pretty far out of synch, and would it be louder, because it still has the benefit of part of the horn? The output from the rear side of the driver is also several feet closer to the listener than the output from the front side, so that would also make it seem louder.
Okay, these are total noobie questions, but I’m sure I’m not the only person who has wondered about this.
You are 100% correct on this and this is the reason I do NOT like Tapped Horns.... Tapped Horns are more efficient but the wave from the back side of the driver exits almost immediately, while the waves from the front of the driver exit the horns mouth milliseconds later. This is 100% distortion and it cannot be time corrected because of the two separate wave fronts. An F-20 is a true Horn Sub and Can be time corrected to match with the lower frequencies individually time delayed to match and is a much preferable solution in my opinion.

March of 08 here, I'm still just a shiny virgin here!
Been here just long enough to know that Amy leaving and the loss of the BS Forum are a big reason I spend more time on Cory's Klipsh off topic on Facebook, than here!

Music is an AC signal. There should be no DC on your speaker in theory. As Maynard said SS amps are the ones you have to check for DC offset being that most tube amplifiers do not have any dc because they use a transformer that stops DC from reaching your speakers. In reality there are very few SS amplifiers have zero DC on speakers. Optimally you check for 50mv or less. I would not worry if one of my SS amps has 100mv or less. Some receivers and amps do not have adjustment for dc offset so less than 100mv is acceptable . If you have too much dc on a speaker you risk your speaker coils heating up and destroying themselves. Think electric stove.
My Nakamichi amps have a anti DC protection circuit to shut the amps down if to much DC output is present. The Adcom GFA-565, 300 watt mono blocks I ran way back when did not and roached a few woofers as they went bad.

I'm glad y'all who own those huge theater subs are happy with them. Good for you, but that's just not what I'm talking about. Those are not even designed for home use. They are designed for theaters and perhaps other industrial uses. I'm not familiar with them at all and have no desire to own one.
What I would like to see from Klipsch is just a good, high-quality, high-output series of subs that are designed to be really good aesthetic matches with current and past Heritage speakers. Performance-wise, the goal would be to match speaker output at crossover (maybe 40-60 Hz) and then just extend it on down as far and as cleanly as possible, keeping price and size manageable. Tall order maybe. Obviously, there's different ideas on what a "Heritage" sub should be, but I'm talking about one that would have appeal to a large cross-section of Klipsch Heritage owners.
How old are you, are you a kid cause you sure don't know your klipsch History!
PWK created his first speaker the klipschorn, a home speaker to reproduce the sound of those giant horn speakers he grew up on in the Movie Theatres.
Furthermore, Klipsch the company is obviously not owned by Paul who has left us, but they are in it for the money, NOT the nostalgia!
Any genuine long term Klipsch lover would NEVER call headphones, subwoofers or any design PWK wasn't personally in "HERITAGE!"
Want to know when Paul sold the Company? PWK was a genious and was a modest man. PWKs logo was klipsch with a lower case "k". As soon as Fred bought the company, he changed to an upper case "K". This speaks volumes about "who" both men were.
