A door nameplate made from the PWK logo would be awesome! Tony

OK, there was some discussion in a thread awhile back about PWK hating the LaScala. (I don't remember the exact thread) Anyway, yesterday I had the opportunity to talk to "The Man" himself, PWK. We talked at length for some time. I had to ask him if he had any negative feelings towards the LaScala. I wanted to settle this once and for all! He said, although he "leaned" towards the Klipschorn for performance, he didn't have any negative feelings about the LaScala. In fact, he went on to explain some of the bass horn construction to me. Bottom line... PWK DOES NOT hate the LaScala. End of discussion, Tony

Happy Birthday Mr Paul! You've brought great joy and happiness to many around the world. And at 97, he remains a gracious and humble man. Tony

Where can I get a fairly large, high quality image of this logo in black & white? I need it ASAP for PWK's birthday. Thanks, Tony

I spoke to someone at the hopestar today. He said the Klipsch story will be published on Monday in the business section. I don't know about you guys but, I'm ready to start planning the 2nd annual Klipsch tour. I have a funny feeling the group will be much larger next time around. Tony

Very funny "loose Cannon"! Tony

Anyone out there have a pair of AL-3 crossovers you'd like to sell? Tony

No screws on the back of my II's. It does appear to be some sort of "pressed wood" (painted black). Tony

JCturboT: Man, you got me on those serial numbers! Klipsch has been famous for changing their serial number system. I bet Trey Cannon at Klipsch can figure it out. He's been working on a system for the different serial number variants for awhile now. I bought my Cornwall II's used but, you couldn't tell it by looking at them. Not a scratch or dent. Aren't they great? Tony

JCTurboT: BTW, mine have plastic horns, mounted from the front. Tony

JCTurboT: At the risk of stating the obvious... The Texas pair were made the 284th day of 1986 (Oct. 11th), while the Florida pair were made the 55th day of 1986 (Feb. 24th). I have a pair of Oiled Oak/w Black Grills made the 349th day of 1986 (Dec. 5th). Tony

Good news, fellow BB'ers, I'm in business! All I had to do was update my chipset. I'm burning at 4x from the other CD drive and 8x from the hard drive. Life is good again. Thanks to all for the valuable information. Tony

Derek: No other programs are running in the background. How much did you pay for "Nero"? Where did you get it? Not sure about the channel. How do I check? Do you want both drives on the same channel or not? Thanks, Tony

Thanks for all the info. Still have a problem, though. I'm burning audio CDR's at the slowest possible speed (2x I think)using the software that came with the burner. I'm getting buffer underrun errors evertime. Doesn't matter if I burn from the hardrive or the other cd drive. I am lacking in the RAM department. (32 megs) If I bump it up to 128 could this correct the problem? Everthing else exceedes the drives requirements. Thanks again, Tony

OK, I want to burn my own CDR's. 1st: What software would you recommend? I want something versatile. 2nd: What brand of CDR's would you recommend? We're talking high quality here. 3rd: What speed do you record at? (1X, 4X, 8X etc.) Many Thanks, Tony

You mean: IF we come back! Tony

JimG: The horns on my CF3's are most definitely black. There isn't a "-2" or similar indicator that would suggest a revision. I guess I sorta got a bargain, I paid $250. Thanks for all the info, Tony

Mikekid: I think the count is up to 44 now. Tony

JimG: The serial numbers are 219592063 & 219592064. I don't think they've ever been modified in any way. These things are mint, light oak w/black grills. What would be "fair market value"? I'm wondering if I got a bargain. Thanks, Tony

JimG: You're right, I was referring to the different revisions. I recently acquired a pair of mint CF3's dirt cheap. (and I do mean CHEAP!) I was just curious about which "revisions" I had. Could you tell by the serial numbers? I know the Epic series isn't very popular on this BB, but I've sorta learned to appreciate them. Tony

How can you tell the difference in the Epic series I & series II? That is, without opening them up to look inside. Tony

Does anyone have anything new on the availability of this driver? Tony

Yep, they're the real deal. I've seen plenty of them but, I don't think they're manufactured anymore. The specs should be the same as the one piece models. And yes, they're much, much easier to transport. Tony

Am I looking at the photos wrong, or is the "wedge" (opposite the woofer slot) running perpendicular? I thought the "wedge" always ran in parallel to the slot. Tony

Q-Man: I have a pair of raw birch LaScalas. They're sanded slick as glass and ready to paint black. I've been told I need to seal them before I paint. Any suggestions on a specific product to use for this. Thanks, Tony
