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.

Me too... they look terrific. Your work has paid off. Well done!

I like the idea of putting grills over the passives.

Yes, I typed "You putting in a disco?"

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.

Looks really nice! You putting in a discount?

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

This is why most major audio consoles have 32 bit processing internally. It also gives them headroom.

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.

I my wife would be upset, but that is a great price. Two hours away. Too bad really. I miss my Moondog 2a3 amps.

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.

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

How cool is that! May he rest in peace.

That's the truth!

I'm not sure if I still have those plans from 20+ years ago. I'll sift through some of my folders when get home from work and grocery shopping tonight.

Jeff, the coaxial and optical connections on the DAC are digital. The usb type C port will connect to either a usb C on your computer/laptop. If you are running MS Windows, in your sound settings you will choose the DAC as an output. Your usb on the laptop must provide the power. Not all do.

I have three different audio interfaces I can use on with my computers/laptops. They are for recording on my computer, so they each have an adc and dac. I keep moving up the chain. The first is a 2 Channel, that now serves on my PC. I bought a Presonus 4 in/out at a used book/record/cd/odd electronics store. I took a chance, but it works great. I have a setup where I can record a stereo track/video on my phone, using good microphones while simultaneously recording 4 separate tracks to my laptop for later adjustments/mix down. The third is an 8 input interface, bought new. They all work fine, and I often use any of the three simply as a dac. I don't do anything over 96k, and usually do 88.2. Don't overthink it.

Should be able to.

Don't tell that to all the recording studios.

He did a nice job, very subtle. They would tend to disappear into a corner.

Hey Claude... soon, soon. After picking those up, I got the Dayton woofers. Josh recalculated the throats for those and they actually look to be a little big for those woofers. The throat opening also gets out to the surround area. JWC said just throw them in and listen. Anyway, Josh cut some inserts to make the size more correct and to make the expansion better. Pics of what he cut for me attached. Then I went through 38 radiation treatments. While I'm now testing ok, the androgen blocker has messed with the hormones and I'm pretty beat at the end of the day. I've gotten some other 'had to do' projects mostly caught up. I started getting the Snails finished up. They will be staying here. 😉

Rachael Price and the NEC, with an incredible Gospel song. I think everyone there just had a revival.

Those look very nice, Jeff. What model are those? Are they decorators finished off with simple appointments or totally factory?

The first Klipsch I heard was at a coworkers house. We were working in a TV news department in Memphis, TN, and had a light schedule one afternoon, so we stopped by his house where he had a pair of decorator khorns. I don't remember what he played. They sounded great! That was in the mid '70s. By the early '80s we moved to Madison, WI. I borrowed a pair of speakers for use while I ran sound for a small conference. They weren't Klipsch, but had home made LaScala bass cabs whit a big horn mid and tweeter on top. They made for a great sounding p.a. They were built by the late Dennis Kleitsch, aka djk on many audio forums, here included. Fast forward to the 90s and my older son and I were looking up how to build some LS clones. That's how we found this place in 2001. Same older son goes off to school in Florida and comes home with a pair of Heresy IIs. He sets them up in the living room, moving the cables over from my JBL 4311s and powers them up. They were a gift to me. (I still have the 4311s, btw). Still have them, and just finished a crossover refresh. I've since had two different pair of 1st gen LS, some of the pro line and other horns. I will keep the HIIs. There's other stuff around the house, though. And... wow, that was long.
