    LaScala playing it's heart out, outside

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Next time, stick that LaScala in the "outside corner" of your house. It might make an improvement.

    Hey Tony, here's an idea- Take it all out in the driveway, pile it up, and TAKE A PHOTO!

    It's really good back excersize (not)

    Michael,

    You've got to be kidding! It would take me days and cause undo strain. Actually, I'd love to do that, just not enough energy.

    Weak K77's

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    I have a pair of really old K77's that play really weak. The sound is clear, just not as loud as it should be (compared to other K77's). Is there any truth that old drivers need to be re-magnetized? If so, where can I have this done? I really want to keep these tweeters.

    Thanks,

    Tony

    Tony sometimes this can be caused by a corroded connection at the rivet and solder terminal of some K77s, do you no what the resistance of these read? If not try reading their resistance at the solder terminals and if it's high (should read approx. 6.2 ohms) then try reading the resistance in the middle of the rivet (where the voice coil wire is soldered) that holds the solder terminal and if it's around the 6.2 ohms then you can probably repair them by wrapping a fine piece of wire around the solder terminal and soldering it to the terminal and to the center of the rivet where the voice coil wire is soldered.

    One other thing that I've seen cause Alnico to loose its strength is exposure to Heat which happened from the speakers being used outdoors in the sunlight.

    I'll be pulling these out of the cabinets soon for a closer inspection and to test across for resistance.

    Thanks,

    Paul Harvey & Bose

    Has anybody heard the new Paul Harvey advertisements for Bose? I heard it for the first time today. He talks about the new "folded speaker" technology. I remember hearing him say how it really makes a big improvement in the sound. Who would have guessed?

    Back To The K77s

    Those folks who got the to hear the Jubilees couldn't quit drooling over the sound. For crying out loud the thing is basically a modified Klipschorn!

    IMO, nothing could be farther from the truth.

    Read the JAES paper by R. Delgado and PK, and then come back and tell me what the design goals of the Jubilee were and why.

    I know what the designs goals were... I spoke to PWK & Roy about the Jubilee several times. I'm talking about the end product. I just see and hear something very different from the Klipschorn in the Jubilee.

    Holy Cow Heresy II's just sold for $770

    If I had to pay the shipping, I probably wouldn't have paid that much. I'm picking them up to save the $110.00. I have a feeling these are pretty close to new. I've worked at places where if we got product back for any reason, we couldn't legally sell it as "new". Even if it looked as good as new, we had to sell it as refurbs. We'll see...
