Thats what Im doing right now. Actives controlling SS on the bottom, SET tubes on uppers. I just love the sound of it!
-
Sounds like probably good advice Daddy Dee. Say the Virtue sounds good so far?
-
I would like to try one of these amps but which one to try? Maybe the Sonic T would be a good one for starters?
-
Just started using Firefox today. IE on Ebay is so slow with all the "just for you" side action I just couldn't stand it anymore. Now with Firefox its more than twice as fast.
Thanks for the recommendation.
-
Really sorry to hear that. I almost bought those amps myself.
I'm wondering if one of the transformer windings shorted?

Alas, out there far, far, away sits a condo on a small planet. I boldly await thee.

The other day I looked at the DBX BXIII at the thrift store about an hour away from home. They were asking the mighty sum of $24
Got home and saw what that thing was selling for on Ebay and had a kaniption. But too far to go back for it on the chance it might not even be there or its broken. My gut said "buy it, buy it" as I sized it up and I should have.

Im speachless.

OK, cool. I suspect you also had to play with the attenuation quite a bit going from not only different drivers but also dropping from 16 to 8 ohms on the squawker.
-
Good deal. Glad it worked out for you. Did you end up modifying the 511b horns? How did that work out?
-
That doesn't sound right. Maybe one of our resident experts will chime in.
A good picture is worth a thousand words.
-
I would take it back apart and inspect everything. Did you have any trouble installing it?
-
Sheeze JB, its got to go cozdemic to get to you anyway. Right?

One way to describe Klipsch speakers would be "bright"
I have heard that Yamaha receivers in general can be considered "bright"
Are you running horns and a Yamaha together now? Just wondering if its a double bright which might be a bad.
-
What does a 60x40 31" horn do that a 60x40 16" horn doesn't do? Thats assuming all else equal.
My setup is JBL 2441 w Community 60x40s but the horn is much smaller overall. Just wondering what I'm missing with the smaller horn I guess. Those you just scored are biggies!
-
Edgar, those guys in that Bug with the horn on top were really "smokin" down the road. If you know what I mean.[

Ebay certainly isnt perfect BUT, It is the biggest trading place in the world bar none. Right now 734 auctions with Klipsch in the title. To be fair, the garage sale section here only trades a small fraction of the Klipsch products that get traded on Ebay each and every day. I would image there are alot more "educated" folks looking for Klipschorns on Ebay than here as well, but thats just my humble opinion. Forum members always appreciate the chance to buy first I'm quite sure.[

I would go 10 days on em too, give plenty of folks a look see. An excellent description with excellent photos could yield top results.

How bout this: You figure out which of those tubes are both cool looking and worthless. Then display them in a cool case or coffee table. Then you would have the "Table of Tubes".
-
If you don't have any noise in your present setup then I don't think you need balanced stuff. Like Coytee said, if your running long cables and seem to be getting noise then the balanced can certainly cut down on that. I've tried all kinds of unbalanced stuff here lately and still no noise, but I use short cables. Let your ears be the judge!
-
No, thats an ALIEN tube if I ever saw one.
-
Mr Lister, hound dog laying at his side, shine jug in his lap, with dualing banjos playing in the background slowly said: "hold on now, you actually WANT dem dar old worthless tubes?"
Hey Mike, I need me some more of those little Maggie SETs don't ya know.[

Just looking around on Ebay and found these: LEPAI based on a TA2020 chip? Anybody know about it?
-
You can find impedence plots for most drivers out there. That chart usually will indicate a very active and changing impedence. At times the K55 for instance can get way up there much higher than 16 ohms.

rolling - first cables, then capacitors, now volume controls

With that first link I really think that you will get 2 used units since used units are pictured. There is even a piece of wire hanging on one post.
I'm assuming you will have to source 24 step volume control switches to wire to these puppys?
