I recently acquired some vintage 1980 LaScala's. I immediately called Klipsch to order a pair of fresh K33 woofers.
The crossovers were tired and I think leaking so I upgraded the x-overs.
After listening to the speakers they seemed too bright and a bit shrill with a tab bit of distortion.
Is the answer as simple as Do I replacing my diaphragms in all my horns or is it a problem with the x-over?
Please advise.
Probably not
I had the same question a few weeks ago
my concern was degradation of the phynolic sp material
the answer was unless they were used wide open and hot
then they were probably just fine.
Intelligibility on mine is excellent, so I left them alone.

Post your Christmas LPs as you listen to them.
Provided you recommend them......
I'll try to do one a day, but no promises.....
The stores have jumped over Thanksgiving to Christmas
I'm sure there are some great Thanksgiving LPs
but I can't think of any off hand.

I was at Pompeii in 1961. It hasn't changed a bit.
JJK
For a time, it was 1 hr from my house.
All good things come to an end.
With a little work, the city would be habitable again.
Amazing place to visit.

Note
For some reason, the R Ch is missing in the first part of the show
probably didn't have mono set correctly.
Thought it might be my just rebuilt tuner, but it's missing on the digital version too.
Set my pre amp to copy L to LR, for the first half hour ?

I had Chilean sea bass for the first time. It tasted great! It was sweet, like crab meat.
I've had it many times in Central America
maybe a Pacific coast thing.
aka Corvina
The Chilean seafood places I tried in South Florida were superb
I hope to eat it someday overlooking the Pacific in Chile.

That's funny. The controversy at hand wasn't the definition - simple enough - but rather the application. The offense being called out as censorship centered around the WHO, not the WHAT. Anyone on Earth can proclaim themselves a "fact checker," and then, by arbitrary authority (government selection, let's say), declare a particular claim to be "disinformation" and have it removed from the public sphere. This process renders the dictionary definition moot. And there lies the controversy which is easily uncovered by anyone spending a day pursuing the bones and learning the context of the controversy over "misinformation."
I mostly agree, but this forum is probably the wrong place for this type of response.
I would avoid the back and forth that the insults and bombs are designed to provoke to get a thread closed.

Heck, I love these discussions but please start your own thread and I'll join in. Seriously, I had an interesting 90+ page thread discussing Healthcare strategies pre-Covid disappear--Poof! Because of the lowest common denominator amongst us made several inappropriate posts.
Mark was the previous #1 Klipsch "content provider," and now it's the Cannonball dude. Fwiw, I enjoy posting my thoughts and responding to others but HATE when it just disappears. This isn't a rant against moderators and I totally understand where they're coming from. I enjoy my Klipsch speakers and talk about them here, but can't help engage in conversations with friends and acquaintances on these threads because the real world is interesting as well.
On that note: Vote in the Poll!
Economics finance forum I like
more than a few had their posting privilege revoked for multiple posts that were so nasty they had to be designed to get the web site blocked or boycotted and labeled as racist etc............
Some discovered that using the F bomb also had limits
Board is still lively and wide ranging, with the occasional removal of a bomb thrower attacking the forum....

Every day at this time.....
My thoughts turn towards lunch, preferably served to me.
Fav Chinese placed closed on Mondays
Leaving 2 Mex places, 2 BBQ, 1 semi-trendy avocado in the bun, or an overpriced burger in a bun at a bar with wall hangings and lots of trendy windows and better dressed alcoholics.
What ever happened to strip clubs that would put out free lunch in the hope of attracting the business crowd, was I living in FL at the time, can't recall been at east 35 years. Has work at home killed this perk of office life ......
Does the local food section cover this once important dining option ?
The breakfast, aka egg something, places I don't like are affordable in the sub $15, the 2 places I do like are in the $30 range. Sign of the times.
Tues I have to travel to the N burbs of Chicago and have a good $5 slice place with cute cashiers with some game. Otherwise it's Popeys special, just in case hydrogenated oils actually have some hidden benefit.
Then off to a resale store, Cds and vinyl have dried up, leaving art glass and throwing elbows with the e-bay sellers.
Unfortunately, located a really good bakery that happens to be on my way home..... the devil made me do it.......
Looks like a cheeseburger, no fries today at the BBQ place.

Where can I find tonic water?
Any grocery store or beverage store, it will list quinine as an ingredient.
Presence of quinine can be confirmed with a black light.
Quinine opens up the call walls so they can absorb zinc, the cell's natural defense against viruses. As we get older, the cells are less efficient at absorbing zinc, so the quinine gets them to open up. The zinc must be present for it to work; hence the zinc pills in various mixes with citrus etc.
British army mandated heavily quinine laden tonic water that was mixed with the gin ration and sugar to make the very bitter drink palatable.
Fortunately the large beverage companies are too big to push around, and have lots of attorneys and lobbyists.

Because they could.
More likely the result, intended or unintended, of restricted growing with a license for each plant driving the need to max potency per plant.
Turning a roadside ditch weed. that grows almost anywhere the seeds fall, into something dangerous.
Is weed taxed on weight or just sales tax at the same rate as everything else ?

What we learned from this pandemic is that you can either go out and get sick or stay home and get sick.
I drank a glass tonic water every day with a zinc pill, and didn't get sick for 2 years.
Quinine is also an anti-inflammatory, so my allergies also disappeared. A friend had the same results, in addition to some of his aches and pains disappearing. OTC before CV, then forced off the market.

No. Weed without ivermectin only cures cancer. Haven't you heard?
With or Without deworming, the weed currently sold to the public is something like 50x more potent than the weed of the 80s popularized in every movie etc.
It is so powerful that it is more like a hard drug, leaving people comatose or immobilized. Definitely not the sweet smelling stuff that made you hungry and sedate.
Which begs the question, why ?

Uh-oh. I refrained from comment after the 3 antivaxer posts because you posted the above and I want to discuss YouTube.
Fwiw, I think you're debating Covid using strawmen here. I debated it here on Facebook, and through emails while learning about it at the time and now there are more relevant things to discuss, imo. Thanks for trying to refrain, though. 😑
I'm deeply concerned about dangerous NaCl, a toxic dietary compound that has been added to the food supply, 4MM deaths just in 2015. A weapon of mass destruction.
When I walk into a restaurant and see salt shakers, it's like having a grenade on every table. Even minors can reach it.
I think we need a ban on salt advertising, the Morton Salt girl is a transparent attempt to seduce innocent minors into picking up the salt shaker. A gateway condiment to salt laden ketchup or soy sauce.

Lethal dose table for nacl, sugar etc
https://whs.rocklinusd.org/documents/Science/Lethal_Dose_Table.pdf
Nutrients. 2017 Jul; 9(7): 648.Published online 2017 Jun 23. doi: 10.3390/nu9070648PMCID: PMC5537768PMID: 28644412A Systematic Review of Fatalities Related to Acute Ingestion of Salt. A Need for Warning Labels?
Norm R. C. Campbell1,* and Emma J. Train2Abstract
There are sporadic cases of fatalities from acutely eating salt. Yet, on social media, there are “challenges to” and examples of children and some adults acutely eating salt, and recently a charity advocated eating small amounts of salt to empathize with Syrian refugees. We performed a systematic review of fatalities from ingesting salt to assess if relatively moderate doses of salt could be fatal. In 27 reports, there were 35 fatalities documented (19 in adults and 16 in children). The lethal dose was estimated to be less than 10 g of sodium (<5 teaspoons of salt) in two children, and less than 25 g sodium in four adults (<4 tablespoons of salt). The frequency of fatal ingestion of salt is not able to be discerned from our review. If investigation of the causes of hypernatremia in hospital records indicates salt overdose is relatively common, consideration could be given to placing warning labels on salt containers and shakers. Such warning labels can have the added advantage of reducing dietary salt consumption.
Keywords: salt, sodium, overdose, warning labels, hypertension, hypernatremia1. Introduction
Dietary risks are estimated to be the leading risk for death and disability globally [1]. Among the dietary risks, high intake of dietary sodium is the leading risk, being attributed to over 4 million deaths and 83 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in 2015 [1]. The deaths and disability are considered to be largely related to hypertension and dietary salt intake promoting gastric cancer [1].
