  1. Looks like a "modded" version of one of the early Technics front firing Sub Woofers, but that's also just a guess, but don't see too many boxes that small, with that big of a port, unluss they are subs.

    The tweeter is mos def a home dun job, as no self respecting company would release that into the world.

    That said, if they sound good(to you) or even just because of memories, then they are quite valuable(to you).

  2. Anyone here have background in real Cinema?

    I have a chance to grab some gear out of a closed theatre here, but am having a hard time finding info on some of the stuff.

    Main thing is some Cinemeccanica CP 40 mono amps, but would like to at least know some specs/year, before I pull the trigger.

    Still trying to convince him to sell the Altec V.O.T.'s(that he calls old junk mono speakers) , but he wants to sell them with the whole package with the projectors and that's not going to happen, for me at least.

    Grabbing up some seats this week though, at least one has had my butt in it many times before.

  3. That's right Michael, THERE ARE NO KLIPSCH IN ONTARIO!, please save yourself some pain and stop looking.[;)]

    There's certainly a lack of the KP or Industrial floating about, but I am personally trying to re-populate Ontario, one or two or three or four , pieces at a time.

    I can't live forever, so if you can outlast me, you'll be able to enjoy a massive flood of Klipsch in Ontario.

  4. If it is a low drain device that, is not used frequently, you are actually better off using the older, cheap, carbon based batteries.

    Same goes for the emergency flashlight in the drawer, etc.

    They will not corode like alkaline based ones and the shelf/unused life on them is longer.

    Haven't had enough time or experience with Lithium based or others, to say if they corode or store "in device" well.

  5. I am mainly a all ply guy, partly for reasons stated above, partly because I am into pro gear, but also just for crazy hippie style reasons, of feeling that woodgrain, through and through, has Soul and sawdust and glue(MDF), doesn't.

    Veneer, while beautiful is just as it sounds, a thin skin to cover up what is really underneath.

    Anyone that has ever done any woodworking, from that bowl in shop class to building a house, probably feels that same connection.

    Even the differences of using a axe over a chainsaw or hand tools over electric, there is a connection between you and the wood( No not that kind of wood!).

  6. Well, aren't you guys a brutaly honest bunch!

    That's ok and that's why I like NYC so much, as no one says s**t just to make you feel good, they speak the truth.

    However that said, cut me a little slack along the way, as we are just throwing around ideas, not final products. Remember there is still some time and effort, being donated gratis, by a non-pro graphics guy, just to try and help a fellow Klipsch community member.

    So even though the truth and the whole truth, is helpful, try and keep it constuctive, if everyone is only saying what they don't like/hate, as opposed to what elements they do think work or could work, my motivation to continue trying is going to vanish rapidly.

    Marvel, you are correct, I am jumping a few steps and will go back to basics and try a variation of this design in simple, flat, black & white to see if it would do the trick on letterhead.

    Being a PS hack I tend to fall back to bevels, shadows and all the fun filters for dramatic effect, but have a web page saved on proper logo design that I'll review for the next round. Almost feels like work instead of just creative fun. [:(]

    Meanwhile, I think submissions would be more than welcome from anyone, but assume most of you have better and more profitable things to be doing.[;)]

  7. First of many, just ideas, not final products.

    Putting in the work for the Klipsch Community/Family.

    Feedback, suggestions welcome, especially from the guy who has to live with it/use it.

    Ebver so slight difference, just playing with heights andangles, but digging this one a bit more:

  8. This is why even though the Behringer Crossovers have the features I am after for a great price, I have not and probably won't purchase any more of their products.

    When they are working they work quite well, but when they fail, it is always in a big way and geting even 5 years out of any of their stuff, even with light and lovin' use, I have yet to acheive.

    Of course the price is often good enough to buy two(one back-up) for less than whatever design/model they are "borrowing", but I would rather go with used and quality, over new and disposable these days.

    When repairs cost more or close to the used price of the same unit, that tells me they are designed to fail.

  9. Perhaps he tired of discussions of the best ways to copy his designs, including people asking for his experise on how to best do it? Just a guess.

    Or perhaps, a new mandate from Klipsch about employee participation in non company related info threads as even Thump hasn't been as active, even prior to his current "Chinese Connection" mission.

    Or many are now sitting out awaiting for the day, the second coming of "The Colter".
