  1. I wouldn't ship them. Those would look great on the Snails, but the budget it just too tight. We have other house projects to finish up first. I even have 2 inch throat drivers.
  2. A friend from Australia posted this of her FB page. Mayber @Full Range has tried it. Friend is in Tasmania which is kind of a different place.
  3. I'm glad my wife just ignores all the cables and wires I have strung around the room. My late wife was the same way. I've been a blessed man.
  4. https://roanoke.craigslist.org/ele/d/roanoke-klipsch-kg-42-loudspeaker-pair/7712669117.html
  5. I imagine (don't know for sure), that Klipsch isn't expecting you to open your Heresy IVs and make adjustments on the crossovers. The original poster bought 3rd Prty crossovers made for adjustmemts.
  6. I'm pretty sure that's what the 85 in the sn means.
  7. If you like the way they sound that's all that really matters. You can easily go down a rabbit hole if you start chasing better or improved. Beautiful cabinets! And a log home as well.
  8. I've missed his posts and will now miss him. Rest in Peace! He must get added to the long list of departed members of the forum.
  9. Acoustic Solutions carries a lot of the Guilford of Maine fabrics. https://acousticalsolutions.com/product/guilford-maine-fr701-acoustic-fabric/?attribute_pa_color=medium-grey&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping_-_Main_-_Google&utm_content=Panel Fabric&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA5-uuBhDzARIsAAa21T83pxD_2hR2qrXvFUwEkXHQNU9PQVOs1rHwy7Yv9QGypnonGaOPSYoaAuGuEALw_wcB These are also fire retardant (FR701). You can get 6 in. samples free (I think 6in squares). I'm looking at the dark blue on the top of the link I posted above.
  10. From PAKALOU: Hello to you American friend, I would also like to upgrade from the forte III to the IV, it’s a bit expensive though! but since I blew up the tweeters with my HINT6 parasound amp, I think I really need to do it! For the moment I used JBL 2412H which sounds very good with it!! otherwise I think you have to be very careful with the phase. You need to recheck the wiring otherwise you lose all the beauty of the stereo and the bass cancels out from one speaker to another and maybe even the treble, so check your phases of the external cable but also all the internal wiring!
  11. My late wife had an early '70s Datsun 1200. Not long after she got that, I was able to get a Datsun 620 pickup (I think), maybe 1974. Those were great vehicles.
  12. It's getting harder for me to be driving after dark for sure.
  13. Wife tested positive for Covid this evening. That means I also have to stay home until this coming Thursday. If I test positive then I stay out until I'm negative for a prescribed period. I'm negative at the moment. At least we can do some work from home.
  14. @babadono don't know if you read the paper romance Peavey. If u live in a standalone home it probably won't apply, but in a building that's fed by a 208 volt transformer, this bears repeating. When we hook up audio equipment in a building that has the 120 volts required, derived from a 208 volt three phase system, we are faced with more than a 60 Hz ground loop, we end up with 60, 120, and 180 Hz ground currents, that get into the audio system. The would normally be installed in the mains panel, but could be put in a separate box in the audio room if you were careful.
  15. Those look really nice. Not quite a JBL blue, a little more subdued (unless it's the lighting). I think the finish on the birch looks fine. I have black HIIs, and keep thinking I could have them natural, but it's always a guess what's under the paint. Sometimes it's mismatched veneer. Plus, black cabinets tend to disappear after a while.
  16. This is a pic my SIL had posted (she's in Colorado Springs). They are all taking rest in her front yard.
  17. Outside of Limerick, IE a ways, in 2008, along the Shannon River, from County Clare looking across to County Tipperary.
  18. Here is the document from Peavey about a balanced electrical system. It's basically a 120 volt transformer with a center tap that the connects to the downstream ground. each of the hot wires are then 60 volts. This is worth reading. PWRDIST.pdf Are you in your own home or a in a building that has a 208 volt three phase system for the building? If so, the way the 120 line is derived could be the problem.
  19. My ST-70 had zero hum on my LS, and very little on the 2a3 amp I had. The 2a3 amps had AC balance pots for each amp, but they were still pretty quiet. You might try balanced AC... but the transformer would cost some to try. It's legal and been in the IEC regulations for years.
  20. I miss a lot of people around here.
  21. Dylan was first...
  22. I sent you a PM... (No, I'm not a urologist)
  23. You guys are makin' me feel pretty healthy. A friend of mine had his kidney stones blasted/broken up with ultrasonic. It wasn't very comfortable either.
