  1. ftp to www.mallette.org user anonymous password is email address Love it! I'm using the Windows command line. EDIT: Make sure you switch to binary.
  2. Dave, I am sure there are others that more closely fit the bill, but I did come across this. It has an S/PDIF and rca output on it. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/499975-REG/Trekstor_63040_250GB_MovieStation_maxi_t_u.html
  3. The La Scalas will take up more room. If you already have the Khorn tucked into corners and it works, I would question why you would want to switch, unless you intend to rearrange things/move, etc.
  4. Snobby jazz critics didn't like Oscar because he played so cleanly, too. Truly one of the greats.
  5. JB, is that your room? Love it. I was just now listening to The Band on vinyl. What a treat. I really need to get some of Levon's work.
  6. For as much trouble as you cause, you'd better be happy he's an OBGYN and not some kind of proctologist with an attitude...... That puts all kinds of images in my head, and I can't stop laughing...[:#]
  7. My nephew is a project leader for Sketchup. Loves working for Google, too. He started working for them right before Google bought them. Pretty cool software. An architect friend of mine says his firm uses it, too, and it is good for waht it does.
  8. They may encourage it, but the youth of China are, in actuality, not much different than the youth of the U.S. I saw this first hand when I visited my gf, who teaches English in three different Chinese colleges (she is a Filipina). Many of her students are lazy, don't study, don't do their homework. A majority of students? That would be hard to tell, but they have so many it doesn't matter. It would be interesting to know how many are the same in India, which seems to crank out mathmaticians and programmers all day long.
  9. Joe, Is this the predecessor of the wpp200C? You should definitely be able to plug the wpp100 into one of the other line inputs on a present preamp. That is what it was for, to add a phono pre to existing line stages. It would be like adding the Juicy Music phono preamp onto my Merlin, which only has two line inputs. Then I could have CD and vinyl playback. Bruce
  10. Was thinking the same thing, Tom. I must be catching the disease, because they don't look big at all. In my living room they would look HUGE!
  11. You can pick up a Mosin-Nagant pretty cheaply. They're everywhere.
  12. Well, if you don't want them, I will pay shipping if you will send them to me. Can you pack them well enough to survive the shipping? Send an email or do a PM through the forum.
  13. The small amount on this accessible review is pretty positive. Way to go Klipsch!
  14. The forum is acting weird. I believe the grill clothe wraps around the motorboard, and is attached with a few thousand staples. Nice!
  15. Dee, He mentioned stacking them to conserve on space for the moment. Bill, You could use them with your guitar amp, but the Fender is voiced to work with the drivers in the cabinet, and not the full range you would have in the Khorn. I.E., most guitar amps have a bit of high end boost, to compensate for the high freq. rolloff from the high impedance pickups. Depending on the crossovers, you could overdrive the mid and tweeter. The tweeter can only handle a very few watts, like 3 to 5 if I remember correctly off the top of my head. The cabinets look awful don't they? But you have Khorns, so who cares. You can always make them look pretty (which the wife might like - hint, hint). Then again, you are a musicina and she might not mind at all. And a Merry Christmas to you! Bruce
  16. With the tweeters on the outboard position, you will probably get more reflections off of the side walls (almost guaranteed, with the 100 degree dispersion). The dispersion pattern would still be the same if they were on the inside, but the reflections might not be as noticable. As you have read above, though, poepl have them in place both ways and find them acceptable. My Alesis Monitor One manual instructs you to put the tweeters to the inside, but that is sitting with them as nearfields. Bruce
  17. Welcome to the forums. Did you buy them new or used? Did you call Klipsch support to get the problem worked out? Klipsch support is very good. This should probably get moved to the proper section, under computer speakers. Bruce
  18. The cornwall vault would be a little excessive. If you double box each one, put one or two inch foam sheets around them, they will ship fine. That way the weight is rather manageable. Bruce
  19. Since Klipsch quit stamping the sn on the back edge, that leaves me out. Mine are original, but someone kindly removed the serial number stickers off the backs. All I have left to identify them as real Klipsch is the inspection stickers still inside the cabinets. That really kinda sucks big time, as this is something I might actually do. Maybe if I showed up on their doorstep with them in my car so they could look at them, and know they weren't clones.
  20. So... if I can get a K701 horn, I could use the old parts, make a Tangent 400 cabinet and have a second set of speakers (with better bass) for cheap. I like the idea.
  21. Let's see, is this what everyone else gets? I am using Firefox, but you may notice the IE logo in the corner of the smiley box. Why is that, you ask? Bruce uses an addon for Firefox called IETab, that lets him set FF to use the IE render engine for that site. Still fast and pleasant to use, get all the tabbed browsing, etc., without have to go to the dog of a browser IE7. I DO have to scroll across to hit the save button when I upload pics though. Bruce
  22. We both grew up in Peoria, IL, and I remember doing a folk festival with him there, before he was famous, too. Some jerk stole his banjo. He was a really nice person then, and I think remained so his whole life.
  23. First thing to try is to lossen and re-tighten all the connections on the crossover terminal block. Sometin=mes the wires get some tarnish/oxidation on them. This can help. The diaphragms for the mid and tweeter driver is inexpensive compared to replacing the whole driver. WOofer replacements can be had if they are really bad. Nice thing about the woofers is they use a cloth or treated paper surround, so they don't come apart the way the early foam surrounds did. They pretty much last forever. Newer foam surrounds last a lot longer. Bruce
  24. You have got to be kidding me! Michael, what does it entail?
  25. My son has a GK amp... a wonderful amp that costs a lot, but produces far better tone than amps with much higher prices.
