Ya'll probably stopped reading Mother Earth News, too...[:#]

John, I promise I'll get your crossovers back to you... You working this week? Bruce

Welcome to the forum...and don't be timid. Could be a wide price range, do you have a ballpark amount you would want to spend? I am using an old HK430 SS receiver on my Heresy IIs. They can rock pretty well. Should be able to find one for < $100. Only 25wpc, but it's a decent receiver. You could try one to get your feet wet. I'm not too up on newer SS equipment. What are you using now? How large is your living room? What kind of furnishings are in it (carpet and rugs, heavy drapes will soak up the high end, etc.)? Bruce

Historical prices on what part? The horns, the Khorns complete? The K401 composite horn is about $50 each. I don't know about the Khorn or LS, specifically.Bruce

Here's a link to the page for the Quartet (with photo): http://www.klipsch.com/products/discontinued/details/quartet.aspx No model number, as they only made one version of the Quartet. To insert a photo, when you hit reply, above where you put in your text is an <options> tab. It opens a box to add/update, where you can browse to your picture (only one per post unless it's hosted on a photo sharing site). Choose your photo, and save it.

Actually, the 400 is the metal one... the composite is the 401.

The sticker should also have the model listed. For example, a CWL would be a CornWall Laquer finish. They would be a K for Klipschorn, H for Heresy, B for Belle Klipsch...

I'll keep looking.

Usually, the decorator models had a flat front, and not recessed to fit the grill. In a sense, all the Birch Raw models are decorators, because they owuld be finished by the buyer to suit their own finish preference. They are nice looking. Below is a list of prices from 1980 (each): Heresy H-BR Birch Raw with grill cloth 311.00 H-BB Birch Black with grill cloth 311.00 H-WO Walnut OIL 362.00 H-WL Walnut Laquer 362.00 RV1 Riser base for above models add $8.00 H-RL Rosewood Laquer 475.00 H-OL Oak Laquer 475.00 H-CL Cherry Laquer 475.00 H-TO Teak Oil 475.00 RV1 Riser base for custom finish add $15.00 H-BRL Brazillian Rosewood Laquer 569.00 Bruce

I can't believe someone has some KCBR for a BIN of $2999. That is way too high. Nice shape, but I would want to put a veneer on them and pretty them up more. And my LaScalas sound great with the Moondogs. I only use for two channel music, and feel absolutley no need for a sub. I don't even have the LS in corners right now. either. Khorns would be even better, but I am very pleased with my system.

TheTangent 400 uses the same parts as the Heresy II and uses the same crossover as the HII. K-76 tweeter, K-53 mid and K-24 woofer. You could build a horizontal Tangent 400 cab as a center. 38-20K ±3db Bruce

She is 15. I've only heard her do a duet with her dad, on a song released into the country music market. If she doesn't screw up her life, she will continue to do quite well.

By laminate, are you meaning something like melamine or formica? If so, that wasn't done by Klipsch, so that could be replaced. We were all thinking the plywood laminations (I think). If the cabs are structurally sound, dings can be filled and they can just be painted. $400 or less would be good... A new woofer would run about $100. You can order those from Bob Crites (BEC on the forum) and he can give you prices on recapping and cleaning up the crossovers, diaphragms, etc.

Too funny! Once you hit reply, there is a quote button at the bottom of the text/post you are replying to.

Where do you live in OZ?That should be a K-76 tweeter, not K-75 (I think). The K-55-V midrange is a physically larger, more powerful driver (also used on Khorn, La Scala, Cornwall. etc) than the K-53-K. My personal opinion is that the K-55 is way too forward and that the HII is overall a smoother sounding speaker. I've had both in the house, just my opinion, blah, blah... [:^)] Bruce

Dave, Earth and All Stars - I normally don't like the sound of the recorded music on Pipe Dreams, as there always is too much 'room' for my tastes. It never feels like I am in the space, so it just comes across as too reverberant. However, what you caught in this recording makes me feel as if I am in the room. The space of the 'delicious acoustics' doesn't overwhelm the sound of the organ itself. I would say that you succeeded very well, especially as you had your traveling rig with you. Nice composition, too. Mozart - nice job of close mic'ing to clean up the audio while still retaining some room sound. Seems a little more mid-range sounding than the other two pieces, but I will visit this again on the other system to see. Andante u poco Adagio - Very nice. The clarinet is dry and 'right there', but I like it. The piano is close enough that the notes don't get blurred in the acoustic space of the fire station. Pleasant to listen to. I might (personally) have the clarinet a tad bit lower, but the tonality it great. Certainly doesn't sound abyssmal, so I would say you succeeded on this on as well. Just goes to show what lengths someone must go to to record on location. The simpler the better. I give a thumbs up on all these... thanks again for sharing them (hope I don't just sound like I'm gushing over these, I really like them). Bruce

I would go for without a second thought. The POD is going to work with the power amp just fine. You are right that the POD will shape the guitar signal, and feed it as a line level signal to your power amp. Not reallly much different than feeding a PA through a direct box and mixer to a PA. I've done the same with a Rocktron Distortion Generator into some JBL monitors (w/6 inch woofers), and my lap steel sounded pretty rockin. The performance was another story. []

Mine are 2 11/16" to the bottom of the flange cutout.

Did he send you girlie pics or what? [*-)]

I would guess that depends on the display. LCDs don't have a gas in them, and many LCDs are shipped flat. Much better than when they come folded.

Max, s/pdif is the digital out... like you can feed into certain receivers, etc. It stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interface. It is a stereo digital connection, and can be optical or coaxial.

Yes it will work, and you will get the guitar eq and various tones out of the pod. Most pickups have no high end, so plugged into regular stereos, sound very rolled off. Guitar amps have quite a lot of high end boost to get the treble back. Most passive pickups have less that one volt output, bass pickups can be higher. (Advents would die a quick and well deserved death)

OB, that isn't really true. My HIIs also rock with SS.
