  1. Please put me on the list as someone who may be willing to go halfsies. Thanks JJ
  2. Zaven: What part of WIsconsin are you from? I'm located in NW WI and depending what part of So. Dakota the cornwallss are located, I may be able to pick them up for you. SoDak isn't too far of a drive. Then, we can figure out some logistics in WI to get them to their new home. Shoot me a PM if you want to disuss it. Thanks JJ
  3. Yet another satisfied customer of the Klipsch Pimp...Thumpelstiltskin!!! Thanks for your continued Klipsch searching and keeping us posted on the sales ads. JJ Just one of many who got his K-horns etc. via Thumpelstiltskin 's posts.

  5. Not too sure how they determine Serial #'s between models but my Single Cornwall has a S/N of 18S911. That as close to matching Serial #'s I've seen. OBTW..Nice score on the Heresies !!!! JJ
  6. I'll add one to the list: "The Squirrel Nut Zippers" They have a 20's & 30's Dixieland jazz sound to their music. JJ
  7. egads!!! Can't spell tonight... I would like a "f", Pat..and please tell Vanna to turn over the "i". JJ
  8. I'm listening to: Pink Floyd-Echoes on my newly acq. Dyna ST-70. JJ
  9. I was the one that bought Guys ST-70 that was for sale on the forum. I apologize for the tardiness of this review but some weird circumstances over the past 3 weeks have prevented me from doing so. Let me first start by thanking you, Guy, for a very enjoyable and painless transaction. Guy went as far as to sending the amp BEFORE receiving payment. What a very kind and trusting act, Guy, and it was very much appreciated. Please bear with me as I give you a little background fodder because it will make it easier for me to convey into words what I felt, heard, and experienced when I fired up the amp for the first time. Im a Home Theater person all the way. Every system I have owned revolved around it, whether it was the speakers or the amplification that drove them. But as time has gone by, I have been acquiring more of the Heritage Series made by Klipsch (Cornwalls and K-Horns). Now that I am at 83.3333% heritage (Still running a C-7 center), I have come to the realization that I finally have speakers that can take on dual roles. Great sounding Home Theater speakers and speakers that will sound excellent in a 2 channel setup. The Denon 3801 does an ample job on the Home Theater end but when it comes to the 2-channel role, I knew I was being cheated. The sound from the Cornwalls literally hurt my entire body if listened to for long periods of time. I think others have used the word fatiguing but what ever you want to call it, it wasnt good. Something had to be done and the only choice was to try Tubes. Ill be the first one to admit that I was a tube virgin. I have never heard a system powered by tubes or ever seen a tube amp, in person, for that matter. All I can say now is WOW!!!. Im hearing things out of my Cornwalls that have never been heard by my ears. I listened to both cds of Pink Floyd-Echoes and couldnt get enough. I was actually feeling the emotions of the words as they were being sung. A prime example would be Comfortably Numb. I have heard this song hundreds of times but never like this. I was literally Comfortably Numb. Just one more reference from the Echoes CD would be the emotions I felt when I heard one of more favorite songs, When the Tigers Broke Free. I felt what Pinkys father must have during the war and also what Pinky must have felt when he found the box of mementos and such. This same feeling was felt no matter what genre (I have a wide range of tastes. From Bagpipes to Nirvana. No Country) of music I threw at this amp. I dont think I was alone in these feelings because I swear that the horns on the Corns rose up on the edges to make a smile that matched the big smile on my face. If they could, Im sure those Corns would want to walk over and give me a big hug for making the change to tubes or worse yet, walk over and kick me in the unmentionables for not doing it sooner. The K-Horns on the other hand are a different story. Their horns have a frown and are hoping that they can also share in the taste of tube ambrosia very soon. Im now hooked/addicted to tubes and dont see myself changing this point of view anytime soon. Thank You for taking the time read this drivel but I had to share it with someone and who better but my friends on the Klipsch Forums. JJ
  10. Gotta: Start with this thread. http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=38588&forumID=69&catID=19&search=1&searchstring=&sessionID={AADBF696-6AE2-4661-B060-4459268156AB} The advanced search engine isn't working for me, but it with a little deeper searching, you'll get there. JJ
  11. I'll take it. Size: 2XL Favorite music a this time: Dreamship by Big left Turn Thanks JJ

Track #4 will rattle your house and your surrounding neighbors houses. The CD I have is : Pomp & Pipes Frederick Fennell Dallas Wind Symphony Paul Riedo, organist There was a thread sometime back regarding this recording. Born2RockU's -Big Left Turn's CD, Dreamship has some great bass as well. Any recordings of "Organ Works by Bach". The one I have is called "Organ Spectacular"-Ton Koopman, organist. JJ

The website didn't help with this quest, but it will prove very useful in my research into the Scott Tube amps I'm looking for. (299c, LK-72, etc) JJ
  14. He he he he!! So thats what the enter key does. Jeesh!!!! Sorry about that!!! JJ
  15. While digging in one of my many closets, I came across a Scott 330r Stereo Receiver. (Non Tube) What is this thing?? I've scoured the Net and came up with nothing. Just a little curious about it's credentials (WPC etc) JJ
  16. "Amazing Grace", played by a lone Piper, always gives me the Goosebumps. Some may say it is because of the venue it is normally heard (funerals) but it does it to me no matter what the occasion. JJ
  17. It looks like something from Fantastic Voyage, but I know it is not the answer. My real guess is Citizen Kane, just because of your posts in another thread. JJ
  18. Greg: I had the same problem with my '78 K-horns when I bought them. It was the battery trick that pretty much told the story that the woofers were shot. After taking out the woofers, both dust caps were dislodged and the paper cones were barely attached. Not sure if this was due to abuse or they just rotted out because they were stored in a garage for an extended period of time I purchased a pair of K-33E's from Bob (BEC) and now everything is fine. Bob was very helpful throughout the testing process and sent out the NEW replacements very quickly. I believe Bob has some for sale on e-bay right now and I can't recommanded anyone better to buy from. eBay item #5761194786 Hope this helps!! JJ
  19. Thanks for the reply, Tom. I'll set my sights on some good quality Birch Plywood. Hopefully my CNC programmer can do some magic and cut these out for me. It will save a lot of time and hassle and another plus is that my neighbor is a furniture repairer/Upholsterer and will do the the re-grilling for me. Thank You everyone for your help!!!! JJ
  20. I have used 14 gauge Carol wire from Home Depot for years and it has served me well no matter the speaker/amp terminal connections. (binding posts, terminal screws, or spring loaded). This is just my .02 worth. JJ
  21. The only thing I can think of is playing the 'Family Heir Loom' trump card. Good Luck!!! JJ
  22. Then, A.N. is correct.. They are '73's. Nice pick-up. Since I don't have a WAF problem, someone else will have to give you advice on that. Here is a site I use in determining Date codes.. http://home.earthlink.net/~ivol/klipsch_cornwall/klipsch_date_codes.htm JJ

Thanks, Ohknats ---------------- Hi: There should be more to the S/N than 341 & 342. Like a letter in between. i.e 111?341 & 112?342 OL= Oak Laquer JJ
