Actually, Dean, the changes to the La Scala made virtually no difference at all compared to the Type AA La Scalas. To be fair, the new ones will sound better at high volumes due to the crossover changes. And the Z-brackets have been added to the tweeters and that is an improvement to imaging.

If you can't accomodate K-horns, trade for some Belles. Not as deep and much prettier.

Hey Justin, God may well be speaking to you. Ask Him. Ask what He wants. Maybe He's getting you ready for the future. Maybe you are the inspiration for someone who is watching you, but you don't realize it. Most of the time people get what they deserve. My sister sure hated hearing that when she was getting a divorce and I got blasted over it. All she could she was the tears and pain. Did she deserve the cheating, doping, alcoholic husband she had? No! Did she deserve to get rid of him, of course! She did not see that at the time. Your family is still yours, they haven't left you. Phones reach the Caymans as easily as they reach Houston.

It appears I was wrong! This is the back of an Aristocrat.

I believe the Aristocrat is really a Rebel, probably a III or IV. It is smaller than the Shorthorn 15. There was a Shorthorn 12, but I've never seen the 12's dimensions. There is a guy in Nebraska that has lots of them. He is supposed to call me back and tell me what he has and if he has any Shorthorns. Warning: He is convinced that Mr. Paul worked for E-V and Klipsch speakers are licensed from E-V, especially the K-horn. www.rainbowmusicomaha.com 402-554-0123 or 800-831-0123

After a certain date all Heresies were wired, inside the crossover, to have the squawker and tweeter in opposite phase to the woofer. Testing showed they had smoother response that way. I would not be surprised to find Cornwalls wired that way, too. There is a Dope from Hope issue about it. The Type E crossover was that way.

Randy, If you have the AlNiCo tweeter, I would not run it without some protection circuit. It only has a 2 watt continuous rating.

In the case of the Cornwall, IT is the compromise. A different woofer could be used and the cabinet could be much smaller. When I was in college, I "came by" a JBL woofer. I wanted to make a subwoofer. I ran the equations and found it could indeed be -3 dB at 20 Hz, .... in a cabinet 3/4 the size of a refrigerator. I might have run into the excursion problems Trey describes. I sold it to a pro sound shop in Nashville.

There is no need to hhange to another speaker unless you want to. You have what you need if they sound godd to you. With the possible exception of the K-horn, speakers are not required to "fit" a room and one is never a "bad fit" if it will go through the door. I can't really imagine what you are really asking. There are rooms that will sound bad no matter what speakers you put in there or where you put them. Yours might be one of those. At 15 x 15 it will surely have standing waves at a wavelength of 15 feet which is 75 Hz (1130/15=75) and again at 150 Hz. Since 15 and 12 are divisible by 3, I'd expect a big resonance at 377 Hz. There are other rooms that will sound very nice if you move the speakers around and find a good spot. A room can be so big that the speaker cannot get loud enough to fill the room no matter how powerful the amp is. Imagine a warehouse with Blose cubes in one end. Finally, a speaker can be so big it dominates the room visually (so what!). Or the big speaker is large and has long throw horns so that you never get far enough away to get a coherent sound from them. If your 3.2 don't sound good, I'd trash that receiver. A Pioneer will never let a Klipsch sound as good as it should.

There's no telling what he meant!

This is typical. The access door may have a different shape, but this is it. Any K-horn with any K-33 can use any other K-33-?, even the latest K-33-E that has been used since the early 70s.

Please post pictures. I'm looking for a pair of La Scala bass horns for a DIY project, but they will have to look pretty good when finished.

yeah, It's calculus, Clu. Hard to understand, but I passed.

Based on my understanding you are all in the black, but out in the 10 ring. With a horn, the mouth area is intimately tied to the length, but it is the length, more than the mouth that lowers the cut-off frequency. Neither has a direct effect on dispersion. However, the shape of the walls caused by the expansion rate of the crossectional area dictate the dispersion angles of the horn. That ends up controlling mouth area. So, the mouth area is also tied to the dispersion angles. I'd imagine the engineer selects an expansion rate and length that gives the desired cut-off and dispersion angles and lives with the mouth area.

How can I get a DD-5.1? I did not find it in the Klipsch store. It is still available? Can I buy one in a brick and mortar? Is it reliable?

And the score is: 11-13 = 4 4-6 = 2 25-27 = 2

Yes. I've heard and handled them.

Oohh! That's a really old one! The HF horn doesn't look right, though. It looks like an old Altec. S/N 121 at the Klipsch Museum has a horn that looks a lot like a K-5-J, if it is not a K-5-J.

R is 1977 and I is 1970.

Hi Dean, I was the 30th person the ask for that address.

All of you who went on the first Tour, please contact me with your e-mail address and postal address. We have a need to contact you personally. If you have an address of someone, like Phil Hauck or Ross Taylor, please send that to me as well. colt4530@comcast.net

In Tennessee, the car is insured, not the driver. I'll bet it is that way in Tejas. Joe's car has liability, etc. covering you if he loans you the car. You need a new insurance company! Drop coverage, don't buy any if you don't have a car. When you buy a car, get insurance. You CANNOT come out paying $50/mo. for nothing. You also cannot have a lapse in coverage when you had nothing to cover! When you buy another car and IF they ask who is your insurance, say "you" or give your GF's company, since it was covering you when you drove. All of what you were told may be legal. (It's legal to shoot people under the right circumstances!) But if you are indead in the best (lowest) insurance category, you rates will not skyrocket. O.K., let's say they do, but you have a good record. Pay the first month and drop them like State Farm customer and go with another company, you'd have current insurance, right? illegitimi non carborundum. (pig latin)
