  1. Cant seem to find the couldn't care less option to vote.
  2. Dewalt makes pretty decent stuff, worth checking out if you like battery powered things.
  3. I was approached by some white van speaker salesmen, told them i was interested in buying if they outperformed my current speakers. At the time i ran a pair of Advent Maestro that i purchased a few years before. The guys lugged the speakers up to my second floor apartment, unboxed them and let me hook them up. Don't recall what brand they were but they looked pretty sweet, anyways the speakers sounded like a cheap set of Polk Audio towers and the guys even admitted they expected something more out of them. They were happy to pack up their speakers and thanked me for my time. Traded in the Advent's for a pair of Chorus II a few years later. By the way i got those Advent speakers and the years flagship Kenwood receiver for free from Silo electronics, filled out a credit app and was approved for $1500 but the manager gave me a cash receipt and never heard from them again. Yeah not the right thing to do i know but i was young and did not really care.
  4. Frail old man walks into a bar sits down and orders a beer, a drunken rowdy marine walks over and hassles the old man about being small and weak. The old man tells the marine to buzz off and the big man delivers a kick knocking the frail old man off his stool, the big marine says roundhouse kick, Karate. The old man hobbles off to lick his wounds. The next day the old man returns to the bar only to get hassled again by the big man and this time gets hit on his neck, the marine says Knife hand, Tai quan do. The old man once again hobbles off home to recover. Once again a few days later the old man returns to the crowded bar, the marine is once again starting trouble and walks over to the old man to give him another beatdown, the marine loads up and swings but before he knows it he ends up on the floor bleeding from his head, still dazed looks up at the old man hovering over him, the old man says crowbar, ace hardware.
  5. How big is your room Claude ? Is there hallways or other open areas ? Just trying to get an idea of the space you took the readings in.
  6. Grapefruit & English muffins look yummy. 1/2 Tsp sugar on top of the grapefruit & Blackberry preserves & butter on the muffins...... Mmmmmmmmmmm.
  7. I gave Youthman the heads up. You would be hard pressed to build one for that price.
  8. I'll try to find some specs, but I believe they were very close in performance. Performance depends on the width of the THT & driver compliment. The two cabinets are very different but if going by size only a 29" THTLS would offer a flatter response & higher efficiency. F-20 being 60"L x 29.375"W x 20"D 29" THT being 60"L x 29"W x 18"D On the F-20 the horn mouth is 20" wide tuned to 20 Hz On the THT the horn mouth is 29" wide tuned to 22 Hz You could get similar results of the F-20 with a much smaller width THT. According to the frequency charts the F-20 will dig slightly lower but like everything else your results will be room dependent and will vary.
  9. I see what you're saying if you were to compare direct radiating designs but with these horn subs its really the horn that dictates how deep the frequency will reach and driver size along with X-max determines maximum output.
  10. The Tuba HT can be loaded with a 12" or 15" driver.
  11. That Dayton Classic 15" will still outperform the best 12" driver in this application and do so with less cone movement, its a good price/performance option.
  12. The price of drivers is skyrocketing lately. I know they need to raise prices a bit but 40-50% or more at a time you know there is price gouging going on somewhere in the chain.
  13. I traded these for something many years ago and they have just been sitting around, i have too many speakers & projects as it is.
  14. Went through the attic and found a set of Infinity 4000 3 way's, i think these have the good Peerless cone tweeters in them. The woofers are shot, one needs a surround and one needs reconing. Cabinets are Walnut one has a drink ring on top otherwise pretty decent. $40 OBO for the pair or I'm willing to part out if someone needs parts. If anybody is interested in any parts or the cabinets and all feel free to PM or E-mail me. *** Updated model # ***

    Hum

    My last house had only 2 plug outlets, i installed GFI's in the kitchen & bathroom using the cold water line for the ground. Not to code but better than nothing at all.
  16. That iron on veneer looks interesting, never saw that on anything besides edge banding.
  17. give me an example of cheap and an example of quality if you don't mind jason. Quality and type of backing material makes a difference. Type of wood. Free of defects.
  18. Cheap veneer & good veneer are hard to find together. If you're starting out on a first project Parts Express has basic veneer that's not overly expensive. Buy quality adhesive and let all materials acclimate for at least a few days before application.
  19. UPS just dropped it off. I'm not unwrapping it until I'm ready to have it framed, otherwise it will just get effed up. Thank you Klipsch.
