  1. Piece of cake, just do it. An ALTEC buddy had to saw his A4 dual-15" 210 bass horns in half to get them upstairs to his apartment. Awesome project, lots of helpers. Marantz 7 driving Model 9 One-Eyed Monsters. Literally took your breath away in a 12'x16' room!
  2. Hmmm... Got rack ears? Might jump on it! Steve in Minneapolis
  3. I compared a pair of T-5000's to JBL 4430's on Patricia Barber, all 3 in the room preferred the Tangents! Wish I'd kept them!
  4. I have a single ALTEC 421-8H II with a perfect Waldom W5527 cone in Minneapolis, if anyone is looking.
  5. 105 dB at what FREQUENCY at what DISTANCE? What was the input POWER requires to achieve 105dB? What is a "reference level peak"? Hmmm... Engineering minds want to know...
  6. After 12+ years, my favorite is stacked KG4's + SUB-12's. I have ceiling corner locations on the short wall, with the stack on top of Forte' II's. I invert the bottom KG4's to produce a line-array of four 8" between horns near the ceiling and at seated ear-level. Room coverage is spectacular, and easily throws 30' into my kitchen/office. Titanium HF diaphragms from Midwest Speaker. Parallel wiring - series sounds awful - be careful of 2Ω load! ADCOM 7400 100W/ch handles them OK, 200W/ch GFA-555 is much better. Friends love it, newbies are awed by the gigantic immersive soundfield. You can easily build this for under $1200 at current prices. Photos to your direct email, they are all way over 2MB! Good luck!
  7. Try the Minnesota Public Radio app on Android & Apple phones & tablets - MPR Radio - 8 streams! The Current is fun, great Classical, Radio Heartland.
  8. $5.00 1/8" stereo miniplug > stereo RCA cable or adaptor - and you are in business! Plug it direct into your power amp - the Chromecast app has a remote volume control! Perfect for esoteric audiophiles that eschew noisy preamps and unnecessary tone controls.
  9. Looks like Google is killing this because it can’t spy on you! All their other Home devices have microphones inside! Just ordered 3 direct from Gurgle at $15 + tax w/ free shipping. This will be the end of a great product. It beats all my analog and HDRadio tuners, and Spotify Premium on direct A/B shootouts! I'm NOT selling these, sorry I jumped the gun without pointing toward Google.com! https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/01/16/you-can-still-grab-a-15-chromecast-audio-from-google-while-they-last-which-probably-wont-be-long/
  10. Fabulous WiFi > Analog 1/8" mini output DAC. Closeout at $15 each, FREE shipping if you buy 3! I've compared mine to SONY & Sangean HDRadio tunas & Spotify Premium - easily whips them all! SOLD OUT at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, everywhere else.
  11. Confusing to Newbies and misleading to shoppers.
  12. Kindly delete your ad when it's gone. Can't sell goods from an empty wagon!
  13. Hello Moray James - No worries sir, no refund necessary, DCR = 8.3Ω. Surface is extremely sticky (?) so I won't try a Q-tip! I will keep them as spares for the dozens of vintage Klipsch speakers I've put into friend's music rooms. In the interest of transparency, you may want to post photos in your next ad - to avoid misunderstandings. FYI, I have 100% positive feedback on AudiogoN & eBay for 15+ years, 100% on PayPal & USAudioMart too. Happy Listening to you and all the Klipsch Forum members in 2019!
  14. Got them today, thanks Moray James. Wish you had mentioned & photographed the debris stuck on the black poly domes that I cannot remove. What is that crap? They are FOR SALE at my cost from Moray James. Photos tomorrow.
  15. Ready to PayPal - please PM the postage and your PP email. Cheers, Steve
  16. Hello Moray - Question: is a SET = a PAIR or a SINGLE? I'm in Minneapolis 55424. Thanks, Steve
  17. One owner pair in Minneapolis in great condition. 96 dB @ 1 watt, 34-20,000 Hz +/- 3dB. The 34 Hz bass extension without boom and the Tractrix horn coverage are spectacular. I measured the system resonance at 37 Hz, confirming the accuracy of the Klipsch specs. Dropped to $275 w/ Free PayPal for Klipsch Forum members, less than half the $850 MSRP.
  18. Decided I can't match that fabulous bonfire! Oak CF-2's are available at $295 in Edina, MN - where you can compare them with Forte' II's, Quartet's, single or stacked inverted KG4's on ADCOM power w/instant A/B/C speaker GFS-6 switching, on multiple spectrum analyzers. Bring your music on CD or digital, I have 1/8" & RCA inputs on my mixer.
