+1 on the idea of going without veneer and just staining and finishing the sides. IMHO, it makes for a very nice 'finish'. Found this picture on a Google search. can you export your work or do you just make components for Iran - obviously your work interests me greatly -

real nice

new studio monitors are made with low resonance materials - composites in the motorboard area but they still use mdf for the cabinet - you could glue a carbon fiber outer laminated in MDF for a low resonance speaker - the carbon fiber adding rigidity - a combination of wood and carbon fiber is best here -

sounds to me like you need a new pair of black khorns with all the latest - sell the old ones - buy new ones -why mess with a cab that will sell and be enjoyed for its original look and finish -

you can buy their products online and get their warranties from the factory - -http://schiit.com/products/magni-2

Klipsch logo badges - changes over the years
OO1 replied to Nordschleife's topic in General Klipsch Info
Used the new copper pies on my Jube Clone bass bins. I really like the looks of this badge. I placed the veneer to look as if flames were coming from the top of the badge. First picture is raw before I applied Laquer. real nice effect - what kind of veneer is that -were you able yo match both cabinets - -
Klipsch logo badges - changes over the years

hey budman - the top pie logo - I see that one sometimes - it does not have the two nail holes of the original pie logo - is that top pie logo original and do you know when it was made - -
But, it's only useful in a game where the objective is profit extraction as the organizing principle. In other words "market economics."I am saying that whole model is destructive. I disagree. Resources are going to be distributed according to this principle regardless of system. Barter, etc. Peacefully speaking of course. Payment will be made in some form and price will reflect supply and demand.How does the principle of supply and demand work at your local food bank?Did you have an answer here, Old timer? yes. Surplus food ends up at the food bank. The demand is there or there would not be a food bank. The supply also is there as surplus food is donated. The price is those who need it have to go there to get it, instead of a short walk to the 7-11. and free of charge for the one out of the system

Apparently, this is what the market demands. $1.00 double cheeseburgers can only be made from the cheapest of ingredients. If you have the time and will to cook at home, you don't have to live that way. You do, indeed, have a choice. You are not a victim or helpless. Right. Perfect recitation of the standard "choice" argument. We've been hearing it forever in various forms. it masquerades as the perfect answer to every evil, except for getting rid of the evil. The faulty assumption is makes is that perfect information exists, and perfectly rational decisions will be result. Both are untrue.No one expects that their McBurger contains poison, and that before eating it they need to perform a forensic exam on it. No one expects that because they paid a few bucks less for a Chevy than a Cadillac, that it contains a faulty ignition switch that was designed to save a $1 and will kill them. But when all this comes out, the standard answer is "you had a choice and you should have known that a $1 burger was poison." No one ever challenges the source, where the real informed choice was actually made. Yoga Mat did not "accidentally" get into Subway bread, it was put there quite purposely - by choice. The choice was well informed because it was made by food chemists. And the choice they made consciously and deliberately was to risk the customer's health in exchange for an extra a penny. That's a philosophical crime. And it is allowed everywhere, all the time, and then covered over with the blame placed on the consumer for not making the choice to eat at home. This is exactly why none of these problems, like global warming, or poison food will ever be fixed. We have permanently installed all the wrong incentives in all the wrong places. I said you have a choice, and you do. Here you are, telling us the parade of horribles. Yet, when told you have a choice, you act as if your choice has been robbed of you by your own ignorance.I know you are speaking of society at large and its ignorance, but you have to conclude at some point, somewhere in the continuum, that reward go to people in the know. This information is everywhere and easily obtained. Look at all of us on here acknowledging all this bad stuff. Yet, we still claim society is being fooled? I don't think so. I think society doesn't care. Everyone knows fast food sucks for you. They might not know certain details, but so what? It's just like smoking cigarettes. They say there's 7,000 chemicals in them, or whatever. The fact is, you don't need to know all 7,000 of these chemicals to be adequately informed to stay away from them. Same goes for food. Or would you claim that obesity is the result of mass ignorance, too? Why do you encourage a system where deception is the keystone of of life? You say everyone knows fast food is bad for you, but that isn't true. The providers tell you constantly that it is good. If not, that's deception. The providers don't tell you there is Yoga Mat in the bread, this must be discovered by adversarial detectives. How far should the deception be allowed to go?My point is that the instruction to exercise choice is being directed at the party who hasn't got the information. Why not demand a better choice from the party with the information? This system can only devolve into worse deception. We must adopt a moral system, based on always seeking the good. with that in mind , we could advance

"If you're so smart why ain't you rich?" is probably one of the dumbest statements of all time.Dave Exactly. Getting that rich requires a defect in the brain.let's all hope that there will be more of these rich defects around as their money will pay the brains that do all the real work -Historically, most of the great advances were made with no particular money incentive.Such as?Atomic power.The early studies of Einstein are confined in the USA and cost the taxpayer a lot of moneyWas Einstein's goal to make money, like day Gates?My comments were directed to people such as Buffet and Gates. actually buffet is the odd one , money to him is a game like chess - a passtime -

- yes the real answer was the gradual elimination of the wide use of CFC's , they were the ozone problem and that is now however under control -I think the CFC were replaced with HCFC. And the latest study reveals that HCFC is equally undesirable. The net might not be positive, and it might take 35 more years to know.Beginning January 1, 2015: The Montreal Protocol requires the U.S. to reduce its consumption of HCFCs by 90% below the U.S. baseline.- that is raised to 99.5% by 2020 , production of R-22 ceases in 2020 with only recovered and recycled/reclaimed R-22will be allowed beyond 2020 to service existing systems , with a 10 years system cycle - R 22 will be phased out in the US BY 2030 -Is the compliance voluntary or mandatory? Penalties? definitely , the weak point of the accord

Of course, deception is central to the game. Not just the game of financial transactions, either. "Do I look fat?" "Ummmm... No." Everything is a negotiation, and in so many cases, the art of negotiation involves not exposing weakness. This, naturally, means deception. Deception is permissible to a limited extent, according to the rules. There is, for example, a big difference between "puffery" and "fraud." One is legal; the other is not. Once you know and appreciate what "puffery" is, which is most certainly deception, you can have a much greater appreciation for why deception is part of the game. It is not to be abhorred. It is to be managed. I don't want to manage immoral deception with rules. I want to move from immoral systems to moral systems. You continue to argue within this system. Laws, puffery, regulations, management. I'm not trying for improvement in what already is wrong. Deception is not made right by renaming it puffery, and drawing lines in the wind. socrates said it best - I know ,that I know nothing
