  1. He wrote all or almost all of his own songs. Pretty amazing career.
  2. They are called spudgers, although I have used an old gift card/credit card and thinned a corner so I could remove parts like that.
  3. Probably the ones you gave me... I have new caps on the way. These sound great up on the Snails.
  4. Can't help you with that. 🤣 Radial makes similar products, so I could see them phasing out similar products. Radial hasn't made transformers, I don't think. They've been using Jensens in theirprodu ts and have a lot bigger portfolio of products. Perhaps the transformer prices will actually end up less expensive.
  5. The Atlanta perimeter has folks driving 85mph+ (136km/h+). That's way over the posted speed limit.
  6. I told my wife it's not a race. She had never driven until she was 49, when she first arrived in the States. She's been in two accidents, neither of which was her fault. She's still learning, I'm still learning. I've told her I am not pointing out things to criticize, but to make her driving safer.
  7. I get that, too! She's not THAT much younger than me, she just looks the part. Well, the car is right about 65k and we bought it used. They may have been the original pads.
  8. I would have to fly, which would raise the cost a bit.
  9. Took wife's car in for oil change... Rear brakes, critical Front brakes, borderline That puts a big dent in the budget. Got the used car last year, not sure where all the maintenance and wear was when we got it. Wife went from two smaller, lighter cars to her Nissan Rogue. She tends to drive right up to cars at a traffic light... and push on the brakes. I told her that she could let off on the gas when approaching the red light. I think she will start doing better now.
  10. Those are all Klipsch parts from a Belle Klipsch. Th woofers (15") should be K-33s, the drivers for the midrange horns, maybe labeled k-55 would be atlas or electrovoice depending on the years. The tweeters (k77s) look like the EV alnico drivers. The Belle Klipsch looked like these and are no longer being made.
  11. Yes, some pics might determine what tweeter you could put in there. Some specs on the original would help, too. Many of the drivers used are off the shelf units, that have been slightly tweaked. It's becomes how everything is integrated to make the whole speaker.
  12. Very disappointing news, indeed. At least with many speakers in the Klipsch lineup, you can swap in another component if the original isn't available. Even if not perfect it's not a total loss. Sorry to hear this infomation.
  13. True, he could have been making a joke about Bobby Sherman the singer.
  14. https://support.klipsch.com/hc/en-us/requests/new I'll see if I can get another phone number, too.
  15. @BubbleCub Are these new? Could you post a pic by any chance? I have some of the same drivers.
  16. I couldn't get the link correct, but you can call to ask about parts: If you would like to inquire on parts availability for a discontinued speaker, please contact our Product Support team. You can reach us by phone at 1-800-KLIPSCH (1-800-554-7724).
  17. My Heresy IIs, without tags on the backs. Rectangular terminal cups. Stapled on the inside, a little card with some dates. I will assume the date on the lower left, 2-22-89, is very close to the finish date. I love these speakers.
  18. That was a fun read... I started with page one. My Welborne Labs Moondogs had Magnequest OPTs, and they sounded great. Then again, I never measured the amps.
  19. I had a friend/boss who had an S-100 system. He had used it to keep his inventory so he could access it over a painfully slow modem whe he was on the road. He hadn't used it for a while and want to get it running again, mostly for nostalgi's sake.

    Jokes?

    “An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman wander into a little old pub in Kildare. They each ask the barman for a pint of Guinness. After the pints are placed onto the bar, three bluebottles drop into each man’s freshly poured pint. The Englishman pushes his pint away in disgust and orders up another. The Scot reaches in and plucks the fly out. The Irishman reaches in, picks the fly out, holds it up close to his face and shouts, “Spit it out you little b*stard.””
  21. I can only imagine what Dennis would be saying... tomorrow is the anniversary of his passing.

    Jokes?

    I actually had to think through the song... 🙄 But the thought reminded me of the new Luke Combs song 'Out where the wild things are'
  23. Would you run out and buy a pair?
