  1. That woofer almost costs as much as you were asking. Super deal!
  2. You're killin' me, Rich. GLWS
  3. I would love to see pics when you are done... if you aren't comfortable posting them you can message me with the pix. How far are you from LR? I would make a trip to see them, but I'm at the other end of TN, next to Chattanooga.
  4. My wife warned me and suggested I get it another day, a Friday so I would have the weekend to get over it. The first one was easy. I've had five covid shots with no problem (other than the extra toe on each foot. 🤣 ).
  5. I see you snuck in a can of Guinness. I have some Extra Stout
  6. So, Tuesday evening the wife and I stopped by the pharmacy to pick up her prescriptions. The pharmacist asked if I was ready for my second shingles vaccine shot. Plus I asked about the new covid shot. He said I could have both at the same time. Kicked my butt! Only a little bit of a sore arm from the shingles shot, same as the first, but I stayed in bed and slept ALL day and all night. I still feel like I could sleep some more, but I'm back to work.
  7. I think the only part of "making fun" would be the price. They made different versions of the SK, and certain ones wee very close to Klipsch, and sounded very good. The new lower price on the listing might sell. Considering what Khorns are selling for, they could be a good deal. IIRC, @DizRotus had four that he hauled around for dances.
  8. I wondered when that was going to happen. I wish them well!
  9. After our trip to the Philippines last summer, we were in communication with one of my wife's brothers, who we had spent a bunch of time with while there. He started having a medical issue and went to one of the hospitals. At first they thought it was a stroke, but then decided he was having breathing/oxygen issues. Finally got him on some medicine and let him go home. Started having huge breathing problems so they called another ambulance. They stopped at two hospitals, but they didn't have an emergency room, and they wouldn't admit him. Finally got him into one, but he passed away while there. It was a sad time for us, as we had become pretty close. My wife had 12 siblings, now three of them have passed. There are lot's of smaller hospitals there, but some don't have full time doctors or have limited facilities.
  10. Me too... they look terrific. Your work has paid off. Well done!
  11. I like the idea of putting grills over the passives.
  12. Yes, I typed "You putting in a disco?"
  13. I'm with @tragusa3 on his concerns about volume. Is this a bar you want people to be able to converse easily or have to raise their voices to be heard? The main reason klipsch will work so well for a bar is the intelligibility. If all drivers work (woofer, and two compression drivers for the midrange and tweeter) the crossovers can be fixex/updated/retored to original specs. If the Belle Klipsch cabinets are in nice shape, they have probably not been abused. Lascalas often have been as a lot of bands hauled them around or used them for P.A. A lot will depend on the price.
  14. Looks really nice! You putting in a discount?
  15. This may be a third party diaphragm, but you could call to ask. https://www.simplyspeakers.com/klipsch-replacement-speaker-diaphragm-k-79-k100ti.html
  16. This is why most major audio consoles have 32 bit processing internally. It also gives them headroom.
  17. My first wife and I moved quite a number of times, both before and after having kids. The audio gear was always the first thing set up in the new apartment or house. That way we could always have music as we unpacked in the new digs. She was also at the new place directing movers ( be they friends or paid) where to place all the heavy stuff. Usually, most everything was set up at the end of the day.That did get more difficult by the time we had three kids in tow.
  18. I my wife would be upset, but that is a great price. Two hours away. Too bad really. I miss my Moondog 2a3 amps.
  19. https://www.parts-express.com/search?order=relevance:desc&keywords=Adhesive for dust caps https://www.parts-express.com/search?order=relevance:desc&keywords=Dust caps You can pick one that is the correct size. Use an exacto knife to remove the old dust cap. Leave a little of the old one so you don't risk separating the voice coil from the cone.
  20. While I drink more coffee than hot tea these days, my late wife would make a teapot full pretty often. This popped up in a FB post... “In Ireland, you go to someone's house, and she asks you if you want a cup of tea. You say no, thank you, you're really just fine. She asks if you're sure. You say of course you're sure, really, you don't need a thing. Except they pronounce it ting. You don't need a ting. Well, she says then, I was going to get myself some anyway, so it would be no trouble. Ah, you say, well, if you were going to get yourself some, I wouldn't mind a spot of tea, at that, so long as it's no trouble and I can give you a hand in the kitchen. Then you go through the whole thing all over again until you both end up in the kitchen drinking tea and chatting. In America, someone asks you if you want a cup of tea, you say no, and then you don't get any damned tea. I liked the Irish way better.” ― C.E. Murphy, Urban Shaman
  21. How cool is that! May he rest in peace.
