Can you see them now?

Dave, Should be no problem, since I just successfully experimented with it myself. I was listening to internet radio, etc., through Heresy's. Check your connections for headphones (should be on back of computer, and note the connection size. You will probably need a cable from Radio Shack, or local electronics store, to connect from AUX on back of receiver to headphone receptacle. Should be no problems. Email if you need more info. Try my suggestion before spending any money. You can determine for yourself if the sound is adequate.

Well, Bless Your Heart!

Also, there was a photo of PWK with a Jubilee (I think it was a Jubilee) in the news release pertaining to his death, but it has been removed from the website, or I just can't find it.

Below is the RS article insert of the interview with PWK. Please print so as to be readable.

I'm going to try to contact Tim and see if he can give us some good stories (beside the interview) of his visit with PWK. Maybe get him to sit in on the BB one night! Can everyone see the image above??

AMEN, BROTHER

Is this the insert in RS from the late '70s? If so, I have it. I posted it on this BB after PWK passed away, as a tribute to him. I always thought it was a good interview by Tim Cahill, and a great tribute to the Colonel. If you need, I can post again. Oh, you have it. That is a GREAT Article. I'm on the trail of Tim Cahill, author of this article (interview). I want to invite Tim to sit in on the BB one night.

Haven't seen any posts concerning the Jubilee Project. This still in skunkworks? Any possibility this speaker will ever make it to production? http://www.pghcs.com/klipsch/paul_w_klipsch.jpg'> Just Curious. (maybe I'll just buy the commercial jubilee...nah!) Is this a "no,no" subject? I would just like to know if the project continues? As a side, does anyone use the "rich text" format on this BB. Boy, is it slow.

News : Georges Lucas Studio, Skywalker Sound Uses B&W George Lucas recording studio, Skywalker Sound features new B&W Nautilus 802's surround system "We are extremely proud that Skywalker Sound has chosen the Nautilus 802s for their new 5.1 recording studio. The Nautilus 802s are unique in their ability to exploit fully the rigorously demanding dynamic range of the best modern recordings, and they do so with the lowest distortion or coloration ever achieved by such designs. Skywalkers choice further solidifies the position that our Nautilus Series of loudspeakers set the benchmark to which others are compared." Come On Klipsch People! I thought we had an "in" here. And George, you are an AMERICAN, aren't you (traitor)? Or maybe Georgie Boy is still out in the galaxy far, far away! If you Indiana boys need me to fly out to Skywalker Ranch to "visit" with George, just post the number of that first class airfare so I can pick up my ticket. Brothers In ARMS Klipsch Speakers

Okay I sold it. Now what?

Below is a PDF of an article based on PWK's paper titled "A Full Range Horn of Small Dimensions." www.decware.com/DCHorn_whites.pdf

Below are some listed articles by the Colonel (Paul W. Klipsch) "A Low Frequency Horn of Small Dimensions" Paul W. Klipsch, 8 pp. (JASA, Vol. 13 October 1941) comment: The first paper on the classical Klipschorn (corner bass horn). Some curves and a lot of enthusiastic talk about how good the horns sound. "Improved Low-Frequency Horn" Paul W. Klipsch, 4 pp. (JASA, Vol. 14 January 1943) comment: Followup to previous article, better measurements and some improvements in the design of the horn. "A High Quality Loudspeaker of Small Dimensions" Paul W. Klipsch, 6 pp. (JASA, Vol. 17 No.3 January 1946) comment: Complete system using the corner bass horn and HF horn using WE 555W driver is described, along with evaluations. If you own a KHorn, all these articles should be useful. "Loudspeaker Performance" Paul W. Klipsch, 3 pp. (Wireless World, February 1970) comment: Enthusiastic horn propaganda from Klipsch himself. If there's any doubt, this article tells you why horns are it! Fun to read. Makes most modern speakers seem crude and awkward. Interesting and important comparison of distortion in horn vs. direct radiator speaker.

From http://aca.gr/paper15.htm "1. Change the internal wiring - Klipsch uses cheap Monster Cable that will oxidize very quickly (tested!). A good bet, here, is to use your chosen speaker wire (at least for the woofer section). If the said wire is thick multistrand, try to use something thinner for the mid and high horns, possibly of the "ribbon" variety. 2. Change the crossover capacitors - The choice is entirely up to you: If for example you have tube gear using paper in oil's, you could balance the sound by choosing more neutral caps, like SCR metal films. You could even try oil-filled caps in case you feel the urge... 3. Replace the crossover inductors - One of the best mods, ever, with improvements all over the acoustic spectrum. I used the Alpha Core 12ga air-core inductors, whilst other users report very good results with the Solen litz wire ones." All of these changes, or "improvements" by "DIYers" really help? Is the above necessary? Silly me, but I would trust the Klipsch engineers, with their knowledge & equipment(such as anechoic chamber, etc.)would test for the best?

I know when I play something like Toccata in D minor, or the 1812 Overture, it sure starts thangs a dancing. A couple of times I've thought the glass was coming out the gun cabinet doors! I rarely play the k'horns at low volume. And my listening room is not that small.

Actually, Paul Klipsch(Is there anyone who has/had a better understanding of horn workings?)wrote several articles, some of which were published in mags such as Stereo Review. You could possibly find archives at the library, or online. Good luck.

As a trial, I hooked up my Heresy's to my computer (using a small receiver)in the study (read, small room), and was disappointed. They seemed to lose something; seemed muffled. They were not corner-placed, so that may be part of the problem. It seemed you were too much "up on them."

I had to look one more time...Man, that's just sick. Why not a pair of KPT-MCM Grands? Too Much??

Hell, if that website's correct, you'll have them lined up around the block! Come on now, it's bad enough you guys blab all day on this forum, but a zillion dollars for equipment? Oh, I guess I blab, too.

I wanna be a "freak", or "no life", or "insane poster" (is that the same as a poster child for the nut house? Well, you make me feel right at home!!) All you guys want is post, post, post...I guess that's the idea... Maybe "status", or "rank" should be by length of membership ("membership since the year 2000!") and speaker "poundage".

Somewhere I saw plans to add a "wall" to the back of a K'horn when a true wall was not available. Surprised??

Run for your life - it's Klipshzilla!! I like the comment about being from Texas. The listening room at Hope in the old days had a McIntosh 2500, pushing 250/channel. I was told by the Klipsch people that power was necessary for the dynamics. Okay, I believed them. Heard the same thing from audio dealer in Memphis.
