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.

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.

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

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!

You can pick up a Mosin-Nagant pretty cheaply. They're everywhere.

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.

The small amount on this accessible review is pretty positive. Way to go Klipsch!

The forum is acting weird. I believe the grill clothe wraps around the motorboard, and is attached with a few thousand staples. Nice!

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

You have got to be kidding me! Michael, what does it entail?

My son has a GK amp... a wonderful amp that costs a lot, but produces far better tone than amps with much higher prices.

For some reason, I actually believe that story.

You can't unless the pics are hosted on another website and you isnter the links to display correctly. Nice looking setup.

My wife was a saint, in more ways that one. Our first speakers were a small set of H/Ks with 8 inch drivers, I think (1971 maybe). I bought a set of JBL 4311s (still have them), and they were still big by the standards of many of our friends. I had a TEAC 4 track, and did recording, and often had friends over to record...microphone cables running everywhere, drums in the bedroom, etc. She NEVER complained. Served us food and was a wonderful servant to all of us while we worked on our music. Still have the JBLs, even though I use the LaScalas and Heresy IIs for most of my listening. I know she would enjoy them if she were here to listen to them.

I personally think they are much better balanced tonally that the original Heresy. Not as in your face, and the bass on mine is wonderful. That's a great Nelson album, btw.

LOL, I just switched form Verizon to AT&T for my whole family. The main reason was I felt we had been mistreated on a contract. I also switched becasuse I wanted a GSM phone and not CDMA tecnology. I have an unlocked phone, so on my travels to the Philippines last Feb., I bought a SIM card, which gave me a local access number. All incoming calls are free, which meant that if they needed to, the family could call me and I wouldn't have the charge pulled off that phone card account. This is also why calling many different countries mobile numbers costs more per minute, as they get free incoming calls or text messages. All the major companies will get you on something, and I have no great illusions about AT&T. Bruce

Neil, I use a service that you can get set up online. It allows you to have up to three phones automatically be recognized as using the service with an active acount, so you don't have to put in a long account code. I use it to call my gf in China and when she is home in the Philippines. The rate to China is only $.022 a minute. If you don't have a local access number, you dial an 800 number and the rate is slightly higher. Rates are different for all countries. I checked their rate for Afghanistan, and it is $.48 minute. I hope you can find a lower rate somewhere else, but you might check into this. I add minutes online, or by a phone call, using a credit card. They also have a soft phone, allowing you to use your computer to call. You can pick the area code you want the call to originate from, can recieve voice mail, etc. It is a flat rate per month. There is no contract, just sign up, buy some minutes and start using it. You aren't buying for a particular country, which means that your son could be on leave in Italy and you could also use it to call him there ($.03 a minute to a land line, $.25 for Italy Mobile). Still lose the connection on occasion, but you still go through some awful phone networks to get there (Philippines is awful, while China has been great). http://www.onesuite.com Bruce looked up other rates: Netherlands (Timmikid for example) $.026 a minute Greece (MaxG) $.05, $.19 for mobile
