    Congrats on the purchase, Brian.

    Nice looking pair..better than the ones with the glass tops we talked about.

    I sure hope that they arrive to you safely and in better condition than poor Gilbert's decorators.

    P.S. The offer of borrowing my single Cornwall to fill in the hole for awhile is still open.

    3 channel question

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    I've been waiting for a long time for this question to be discussed but now I'm not so sure if it was worth the wait. I thought I had a handle on how to pull off this but now I have no clue what or how to do this.

    Here is what I have..

    1. Pr of K-Horns

    2. 3 Cornwalls

    3. Pr of Belles

    4. Scott 299c

    5. Dynaco ST-70

    6. Teac AL-700

    7. A DRBill home made Blackbox

    8. JM-Peach

    Room size will roughly be 25.5 X 19.5.

    Can a 3 channel set-up be configured from the items listed above?

    Please Advise

    The how question will come later down the road.

    Thanks

    Poll: How often do you oil?

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    Thanks for the great info thus far.

    I have a pair of '78 WO K-horns that were badly neglected before I got them. They were dirty and had many coats of Old English polish to clean off.

    Now it's time to apply some oil and it was suggested by someone here (Sorry not to give credit where credit is due) as well as Jim Hunter ( At Klipschstock 2005) to use Birchwood-Casey Tru Oil. This is the oil that was used at the factory. PLEASE NOTE!!! I asked this question specifically in regards to 1978 W/O K-Horns. This may or may not be true for other years or other Heritage models. UYOJ!!! (Use your own judgment)

    This is the route I'm going to take and will keep you informed on my quest.

    I won't promise any pictures at this time. ;)

    Merlin VS Peach VS Blueberry

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    I have narrowed down my Pre-Amp choices to one of these three.

    Was ready to pull the trigger on a Merlin until I saw that Mark has a Peach Refurb for $995 and a fellow forum member has a Blueberry for sale for $1,000.

    I'm on a tight budget, so a full priced Peach or Blueberry is out of the question. With all these great deals available, I'm totally clueless on which way to go.

    Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!

    Also, I want to thank GaryMD and Guy Landau for keeping an eye out for a pre-amps for me.

    Backgroud:

    -Don't listen to LP's, but who knows, that may change.

    -Will be hooking the Preamp to either a ST-70 or the cheap little Teac 700

    -Only need a couple of inputs..But more would be nice

    JJ

    P.S. Does the original Peach have the HT pass-through function? This may prove useful for my system does pull double duty: HT and 2 channel

    O-T Things to do in Albuquerque?

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    I'll be in Albuquerque, NM, on business next week (8/8-8/12) and was wondering what there is to do or see in this fine city.

    Most of my evenings will be free so long distant sight-seeing trips may be out of the question.

    Thank you in advance for your suggestions, recommendations..etc.

    Belles for home theater

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    I had the same concerns, resevations, etc using Belle's in a HT set-up BUT those are all gone now.

    My, new to me , Belles have replaced the Cronwalls up front and they are mated with a KLF-C7 center (temporarily).

    The pair of Cornwalls that were up front are now my side surrounds.

    The rear array consists of a pair of '78 K-Horns and a Single Cornwall for rear back channel.

    To round out the system, I'm running a SVS 16-48 subwoofer.

    I only got to listen to this set-up for a short time (my Crossovers for the K-horns are at Dr BEC's Crossover hospital) but it has done wonders for my HT setup.

    Carl: Consider this your only warning!! I'll be flooding you with questions about what you are using for amplification in your system(s). I tried to decipher it from your system profile but got confused. 2.gif

    Wanted by buy belles, lascalas or khorns.

    The only advice I can give is take your time and the right pair of speakers will come along.

    I have searched/waited for Belles for about 5 years and finally last week I was able to score a pair that was only 80 miles away. The only concession I made was that they were Oak and IMO it wasn't a huge compromise.

    Good Luck on your search, or what I like to call a 'Quest', for Heritage Speakers.

    Jon

    P.S. The above mentioned Belles are the ones that Cut-Throat, a forum member, had for sale. I'll be posting a review/comparison very soon.

    Hello!

    Well, I don't have an exact answer for you, but I would venture a guess of about 250 (?) employees in Indianapolis.

    I was never good at guessing the number of jelly beans in the jar, so let me get a better answer for you tomorrow

    Which begs the question- "If Klipsch employees were jelly beans, which flavor would you be?"

    I have a feeling that this may spark another "Pop Tart" type debate we had a year or two ago. 2.gif
