You don't see those rocker switches around much anymore.

The KG.5 is a great sounding little speaker, add a little sub and you have yourself a nice system.
Should be a big upgrade over any polk audio product.
Make sure all the drivers work good before you fork out the dough.

This reminds me, my x wife loves gummi bears. Wish i saw this earlier, kinda late now to get em by Christmas.
I guess there's always her birthday present to think of.

Thank's djk, there does not seen to be much difference according to the graph though im sure to the ear it would make a bigger difference.
More input would be appreciated if anybody has any.
What djk shows is a hornresp simulation, not a measurement. Real measurements are good too, but listening is believeing.
What Roy Delgado said about the K-43 woofer is that it has a higher BL product which tips the response towards the mid range instead of the bass. I lived with LaScalas for decades as center as well as main channels. When I tried K-43's I was Amazed at the greater MIDRANGE detail I would hear....guitars, saxes, female vocals, etc. It does, however "thin out" the bass substantially, but if you build another THT, you won't miss it, I promise.
IndyKlipschFan's home theater is all commercial split LaScalas with K-43's in the bottoms and it's one of the best I've ever heard (outside of my setup, of course, LOL).
And NO, nothing tames the LaScala/FH-1 peak except a PEQ. Sorry.
Sounds good, i will put these on my list of things to get.
I would like to get an EQ to adjust some minor frequency peaks but worried about adding unwanted noise to my system.

Very nice little radio, my friend has a cosmetically mint Majestic 8058 he wants to tear apart ( not currently working) and make into a foldaway bar. I have been trying to talk him into not ripping it apart and having it fixed.
Im sure it sounded nice when it worked
It has to be worth something, still has all the paperwork including the Montgomery wards layaway receipt.

Adding the word vintage always seems to add to the price.

Claude peaked my interest on the K-43 woofer use in the LaScala and i looked but cant seem to find any information here though i know i have seen it around.
The new forum is playing tricks with some information it seems.
Anybody have information on a SPL chart for this.
Does the K-43 get rid or reduce the bass hump the LaScala has ?
Also is there a direct replacement using a new Eminence driver or anyone have the K-43 theil parameters ?

The more time i listen to the Table Tuba the more i miss the THT.
I find myself always having to fiddle with the subwoofer gain and frequency with the Table Tuba where i never had to adjust anything with the THT after i had things adjusted.
I love the Table Tuba and it is better sounding than 99+% of the subwoofers on the market today but plans are to build myself another THT and be done with it. Its the right tool for the job in my perspective and I'm very picky when it comes to sound.
***Just wanted to update this**
A pair of slim Table Tuba's or a wider version of the TT fixes the issue of having to fiddle with the gain + placement is key when adding any new subwoofer to your system.

If you have a small budget i recommend upgrading your front speakers and getting a small subwoofer & amp.
The Front is where you want the soundstage and a subwoofer is a must have.

I ran a Pioneer head unit and passive EQ ran to my amps. Kappa Perfect 10's and Infinity Kappa speakers.
Your best choice is to go out and listen to some different brands.
The most expensive stuff is not always the best sounding IMO.

Good price on a great sounding set of speakers.
Another one of Klipsch's discontinued products that should have not been discontinued.

Sounds like a winner, better sound is never a bad thing.

I have owned many Ingersoll Rand air tools in the past, they make very good long lasting products.
Normally i dont roll the cords up on my power tools with the exception of the router, i just throw them in a drawer when not in use.
I do like to keep my extension cords neat & tidy or i tend to trip over the dam things.

If you have problems with skipping disks under mid to moderate listening levels something is wrong.
I would need to pump at least 120+ watts to my Chorus II's to get skipping from either deck.
The Tuba's need to be low passed under 70 Hz under higher volume or i get the same thing.
Turning down the bass will help with my gear, i do not normally crank it up too often anymore.
Call the repair center where you had the work done and tell them whats going on if you think its abnormal.
-
It's a shame you didn't get better service out of your tools than you did.
On a good note my Skilsaw circular saw has cut miles of lumber and plywood.
The cord wore out where it comes out of the handle but i rigged some fuel line with black tape over it and has been that way for years.

Pictures always help a sale. Good luck with your upgrade.

My Craftsman table saw was purchased well over 20 years ago, lasted about 4-5 years and the motor burned out.
The reciprocating saw and jigsaw were purchased 15 or so years ago, the recip saw went first, the shaft wore out and would wobble back and forth excessively and finally got so bad the key chuck lever to change blades would not work.
The jigsaw just stopped working, not sure if it was the switch or the motor, i just threw it out. My Grandfathers Black & Decker is still running strong.
My old Craftsman 3/8 drill trigger would work intermittently and was purchased shortly after the jigsaw, it would kick on and off while cutting and i would have to feather the trigger like an old carbeurator with a bad accelerator pump.
My tools were used most every day though and were probably not made for the professional, i can see a normal homeowner not wearing tools out so quickly.
-
Both of mine skip too when cranking up the volume. Done it since new. Also Sony ES products. Must be normal.

That saw stop looks like a good investment, luckily i have never been hurt using power tools, my grandfather taught me wisely when i was just a youngin to respect the tools.
One of my shop teachers Mr. Connell ( i always took shop classes in school ) was missing half of his fingers and would wave his hands around ( what was left of them anyways) and speak of the importance of shop safety before he fell asleep standing behind his pedestal still standing up. Then it was free time to make things we were forbidden to make.
I have been using many Ryobi brand tools, some purchased used. While not the best products on the market i have found they hold up very well and do what they were meant to do.
My 1/2" drill has been abused mixing concrete, drywall mud, grout, and the usual drilling of course without a hiccup and the Ryobi table saw works great too.
My worst luck has been using Craftsman power tools, every one has broke, reciprocating saw, drill, table saw, jigsaw.
Never again will i buy power tools from sears. Maybe bad luck or overuse i don't know.
