  1. Kyle, you know where he lives on Dowlen.

    we will be able to blow him away from my garage with the new setup lol, I think its right across the street from Marshall

  2. I have an urge to get one of these saws, but...it will have to wait in line behind my table saw....

    And I have an urge for a table saw. They both have their uses also but ripping full sheets of paneling is best left to the track saw.

    you have one, all you gotta do is come pick it up

  3. Sancho, their still in the back of the suburban, when we pull em out Saturday at Carl"s we will post pics. They are actually in pretty good shape, just that one front corner got pulled out a bit but should be an easy fix. I have already talked to a friend who has been painting for 40 years and he cant wait to get his hands on em, says he can make em look new, being black actually helps our case here according to him. My intent is for these to be my front porch speakers up at my ranch as I have a pristine set at home in the living room, anybody using LaScala's as porch speakers ?? kinda funny when you think about it....Roost

  4. I posted something asking kinda the same thing awhile back, but I was just wanting to do the pecking order, but would like to have the original retail price also. It would go something like this, from top to bottom

    1) Klipschorn 2) LaScala 3) Belle 4) Cornwall 5) Chorus 6) Forte 7) Quartet 8) Heresy

    maybe the quartet should be below the heresy, not sure, but I think heresy's cost more, and I'm not sure where the belle would be either, above or below the scala...Roost

  5. the stock klipsch lascala boxes mu 2004 models came in was not suitable for transport handling....think about how washers and dryers get delivered....these boxes are designed for pallet loading and handling.

    if you want to haul around some lacalas best bet is some road cases, or get a pair of metal trim lascalas or if you are not squeemish, metal trim the pair you have.

    I actually was looking for a set of LSI"s when mine came up, the LSI"s have the steel corners and built in handles, think theres a set in GS right now. I agree building a plywood box would prolly do it, and you could build the handles for the sides too, I would just like to carry mine up to the farm a couple times a year for a little exercise lol

  6. This is a good question I'd wondered about too.

    I'd think on items still in production Klipsch would be happy to ship you packaging/boxes if the item is assembled in Hope and you have valid serial number(s)?

    If your LS are the older style, they probably just don't have any packaging for them anymore?

    I was planning on ordering some new boxes for my four LS II's when I move, so if anyone knows if this is possible, please chime in. PS: sorry for thread hijacking :)

    I don't think the speaker has changed much at all if any in size, but I"ve read on here for years klipsch would not sell you just the boxes even if you give them your serial #. I think they will though if you show up in Hope, I think I read that here too, I have a bud in Hot Springs I can call, I need to call HQ I reckon

  7. OP, I'm running duel Outlaws in my 2-channel with herseys, the sound is unreal. You first need to know you will need a sub with line level connections, that really limits what you can get, Rythmik also makes some great subs that work in 2-channel, what are you using for power ? I run the old ss gear myself, mostly Pioneer, I have a 1250 in the house and a 1050 in the shop, great units....Roost

  8. hey guys, why is it that klipsch will not sell you a set of boxes, I have read this on here several times, would sure love to have a set of boxes for my scalas that way I can haul them back and forth to my ranch a couple times a year to let em breath. You hardly ever see just boxes for sale, I just wonder if I were in Arkansaw and went by the factory could I buy a set, I have a friend in hot springs I go party with from time to time, thanks guys.....Roost

  9. OP, welcome....couple things,you cant beat Mac, you just cant, theres a reason why its twice as much as everything else, and with heresy's or any other heritage you don't need many watts, better to have good clean watts, jump on that Mac if you can, specially if its been serviced by a certified Mac dealer. Also anybody that claims heresy sound great without a sub hasn't tried one, I have a set I listened to for years, mostly classical jazz and blues, I decided to see what all the fuss was about and scored a used Outlaw sub for 300, less than half price. I was completely blown away at the difference, so much so that I found another matching Outlaw, pushing this system with a pioneer sx850, with the duel subs it sounds as good as my chorus ll"s and that's saying something. Now, what you need to know is most subs are for ht and don't have the line level hookups you need with the old ss gear, you need a sub designed for music only, this is where a lot of folks go wrong and get a bad taste about subs, a ht sub wont keep up with music.....Roost

  10. Man it looks nice there, could go for some of that weather and a few cold ones with all that talent walking around. I was at the rose for the Miami/Nebraska game, had a blast, huskers should have never been there though, nuttin like the atmosphere of a bigtime college game, much more-so than the nfl

  11. Mack should have won way more than he did, I"ve watched that NC game several times, it was the Vince Young show, there was not a whole lot of actual coaching on Mack"s part at all, they simply had no answer for VY running around on broken plays, prior to that it was 1969 the last time Texas won. I am using Carl"s logic here which is usually true, except in Mack"s case, in 10 years as coach I bet he didn't play 2 teams that could match his talent, look at his classes, consistently top 5 and a bunch of #1 classes, 5 stars 3 deep, yet his record vs ranked teams was horrible, vs top 10 teams was even worse. Bob Stoops routinely stomped his *** by 50 with way less talent, put them in the SEC those 10 years they are 500 at best. I have said this on the scout forums many times that if Texas ever gets a real good coach its game over, they play a weak sched in a weak conf, all they have to do normally is beat OU and their in, put that with all the Texas money and athletes and you could have a dynasty, Art Briles could do it, so could Fisher or Malzon.......Roost
