beeker

I waited for an email notification for your pm with number and just called twice.during second call i read when your free to talk. I will try then. call me back if you get a chance..thank you

Im not right with you but i will admit 901's get the job done in certain rooms. everybody has different styles of listening etc...A hi end audiophile freind of mine whos private studio is worth more than my home swears by the 901's in his completely large rock mortar living room over any speaker on the planet period. My favorite bose are 301's. I have owned 3 pair of 901's in many configurations. If somebody were to buy 901's and never read online forums im sure more people would actually keep them. One of my complaints is that in a theater setting with 1 open door in a townhouse i once owned..i could not get completely comfortable with the 901 sound. trying added preamps and or eq's. They need the proper setting to be acoustically sound to a formal ear, music as well as theater. Which is true for many speaker models, although 901's a bit more so

I grew up in van wert. im in ft wayne now. phone number through pm maybe? thanks

Woody, i want them. please respond by PM or e-mail Good buy. Your a little closer. Im 3hrs from cincy in ft wayne indiana. if they dont work out for you please let me know. i will buy them from you

If your using rca to 1/4" cables(avr to amp)be sure your 1/4" as well as rcas are attached securely. I had an $80 pair of dual rca to dual1/4" cables that would not let the 1/4" end seat in the amp input without some compression ...the 1/4" cable(was running mono)would litterally fall out. I simply switched it with a cheap livewire rca to 1/4" and the hum was gone. I also see rcas that do not seat firmly and with a high performance network such as in the cw even a simple rca not seating firmly would create wire feedback. I have 100's of cheap radio shack and even nice braided rcas that need attention as well as $130 rcas cables that need attention time to time. Also the soldier inside the rcas can get jinxy which can be checked by(sometimes unscrewing)then/pulling the metal sheath back and you will see the soldiers. The best rcas around can fail and have us chasing our tails unfortunately. Supply and demand can weigh down on quality at times and the great hand made cables fail. I Like to build or rebuild my own when i have time. Normally when i see one has failed. This is also sometimes due to pulling cables hard or very tight.

Fans in pro amps are for tight enclosed racks. does your ep4000 get hot? iv been running pro amps at home for years and snipped the positive wire on more than i can count. not 1 has even broke a sweat. just make sure you have enough wire to pull it back together to soldier if you sell or use it in a closed road case in the future(there will be a good inch or 2 extra fan wire installed from factory. all without even taking the amp case apart). do some checking around online if you have doubts. no pro amps burning up anywhere in at home use w/out fan. now if the 4000 does get hot buy the quiet fan which is as easy fix as running cables as you are aquiring info about

Maybe. Before paying the asking price i would get an audition at all volume levels and make sure the proper components are inside the cabs. Being craigslist i would also offer him 650 and go from there....unless they are mint condition with manual, original cartons and consecutive serial numbers..in this scenario i would certainly offer 800 and hold there hoping he would take it. In consideration if you are looking for black cornwalls then 1100 may not be bad

I have not scrolled this far down til now. I will say you have a great start with the krell and cornwalls(imo they are fine right there). Im sure you have enjoyed this setup for a while now. I have freinds bi amping cornwalls atm, single tube and solid state power to others as well as straight from an avr and all the above are happy happy. I dont get online often although i will respond...have you made another step? If biamping a nice 25x2 tube dynaco on horns and krell on the 15's would be as sweet as honey gets no doubt. Have you made any new steps lately? im sure crites helped...ti diaphrams did you get from him? however you got them at the moment they will shine fine forever

I know im months late although if youv not found a replacment yet best options are to watch here, ebay or buy and part out or use a beat up pair for your spares and sell whats left on here and c-list etc... i hope you have done fixed 'er

Did your friend not test the connection with a volt meter before placing power to it? I'm so surprised I didn't back then, but then again at that age, I didn't even own one. I suppose I could have borrowed one from my grandfather heh. Since it was a 16 ohm load when I had mine hooked up wrong, I wonder how much power the amp was actually pushing to the woofer. I also did a science fair project in grade 8, that was labeled 'how does tuning affect the sound intensity of a speaker?' and in grade 8 was measuring the THD in three different amplifiers, all with the same "rated output" and did my results vs the manufacturer's claims. I won an award from radioshack from that. I'm not near as much into amplifiers as I am into speakers though. So what are you building/built with those expensive woofers? The volt meter would have been my fault. my freind hooked it up opposite polaritys inside the the dual 15" box. I had high white blood cell count when i carried it out and ran power to it...this was 20+yrs ago in 100degree heat. i should have left the box inside i was driving to the doctor and carried it out put it in my car strained to hook it up and left. the 15's each were hooked up to the first actual monoblcks i ever seen. all hooked up in a gta. i learned to do my own work or recheck. there were 2 soundstream spl 160's in the box. when the 1 blu i was devistaed. honestly one of the most terrible days of my life. i should of left the box sit and go thru it before their hotpot time. i considered it but thought good bass would help my medical condition. It hit 150 at a point.

I feel your pain. specially when it comes to woofers. scenario like that would haunt me now from time to time. i guess at that age(me in 990) i was appreciating my realistic 8" woofers i built inclosures for. I learned as the woofer audio addiction pumped in my blood so soon after(now 20yrs later seems soon in hindsight) to only handle my prized $300+each woofers myself only. i had a freind wire up a dvc(expecting he had experience cause he acted like an able helper?) neg2pos other pos2neg that smelled like a rotten egg. he was descent&wealthy enough to buy a new one thankfully. At least you didnt hook it up wrong in a sense of distruction to learn a lesson. you were also im assuming working out of a book from the library as i was in my teens. nowadays knowledge is a fingertip away. gotta say killer science fair project! I recently came acrossed some kind of adire audio and remember the Tempest. If i remember correctly it was a very high end over the top woofer.

I'm surprised it isn't I used the beeker avatar on 1'8nitro race forums and was perfect. i really hadnt considered it again. i appreciate your direction. much more appropriate. its my last name beeker lol speaking of racing rc forums the most exclusive was rc tech and they rated the way ebay does i have i think 55 positives on there no negs and it shows what others have done and whoo your getting involved with before hand. craigslist does have a tilt to the people that take JUNK and push it out defective for dollars. if somthings broke its parts, sell it as BROKE(does not WORK!) its total crap to sell junk cause that pushes others into the same practices to sell their junk. I always keep a different amount of money in every pocket depending what im buying ya know. this is so they dont see a stack of $100's. always put the small bills out ther and appear to be broke and unclamp yer muffler and drive thru a puddle so your vette dont look too nice lol I will say several klipsch forum members i washed my car and given them some $100 cables to pay forward. I have given equipment away litterally AND it came back to me unbelievably. I enjoy bartering with people. most horse traders have nice stuff or a lot at least with somthing to trade. horse trading is addictive

yeah i take him with me the hell with bullets get a big spider dude lol haha i would freak too. the spiders kinda homage to where love of audio for me as a teen began with soundstream equipment. and the original tarantula amplifierin the 90's. i hate spiders unless wife or kids need 1 off their wall i cant stand alone with a spider they asually help me build up courage ya know. a freind of mine owned a once tame tarantula and with about 1 year of no holding it my buddy wouldnt hold it and siad tarantulas lose their tameness and should only be held at that point by a trained professional(I was helping him move and i had a drink in me and asked him to grab it) idk just thought its interesting. spiders suck. i'll try finding a new avatar

That is odd. I listen to it on cd and not 1 of my radios was made to properly reproduce any album as far as i know. On the other hand your system is built to a T for every beatles album. good luck clearing it up. interesting thread

I have met several members and some of them were on craigslist locally. Only 1 member i met at my house i have not seen his huge klipsch several generation collection unfortunately..although will if im up to it one day. I have drove hours buying tube and reel to reel equipment and ended up having dinner discussing some very nice vintage equipment to rare proptotype and demo for sales equipment. One of the most interesting 7 hour round cl trip deal i made happened to be a 20yr old young fellow who was running 2 mcintosh monoblocks each running an 8 sided ohm 5ft monitor with more speakers buit into them cabs than iv ever seen in perfect working order. In perfect fashion he played 3 tracks off his record player of hank williams junior at low volume. I'm armed while doing local cl deals at wmart and also take my young lady companion who likes to ride along too. I have listened to 100's of sytems and bought what i thought i wanted to try and then sold what didnt work. Without direct contact with others nobody can hear everything. I have met celebritys through the years in my running around but now pushing 40 my legs cant take what they used to. I have literally heard a new system(freind or internet meeting) per day at times. even lately a few a week to be social.This past year i have bought every pair of klipsch i could find for sale from indy to michigan and then sold and trade what i didnt have room for(after a robbery and divorce a year ago my systems have came and gone and rebuilt and actually been a learning experience music wise). Got to make rounds or we cant learn whats what. only thing i worry about is bait and switch deals pics show mint you pick up their destroyed so walk away. and then theives. so pictures, insurance, adt and a weapon. 400 watt crown tube amps are out there and so many pairs of klipsch heritage around.. get to know them and get a sense of the seller or buyer...use google. Iv sold 200 items on cl and bought about the same in the past year and only had 1 prob. had a reel to reel deck that all the tubes lit and belt was fine and had 2 hou repair so i lost $70 total off that. the rest were scores. I have walked away a few times as well. but were mostly on freindly terms as well

I once sat with 901's sitting around and in the way everyday wondering how i can get some klipsch speakers out of them. it was tough . i had to get the klipsch stuff first before i could persuade anybody to carry my 901's out of my house. they still owe me $125. the vintage rotel amp i through in surely helped him carry them out though. i miss that amp

I will say out of a few pair i'v owned and yes the series1 are clothe and series 5&6 are rubber the rest are foam(oem)...bose 901's push out one hell of a lot of air. Without the bose eq at high watts its a bit shocking to be honest at very high volume levels.Turn them around(which is identical to a bose 802 panarays pa speaker)and is what paul klipsch done with his less than 4 min approx. 3min 40sec audition with a pair of 901's and you will see air move out of them like no other until you test other speaker/air movement. Sound quality is average in their optimum set up in perfect corners but with a huge 200watt perch amp they are LOUD fart cans. I would take your heresys with a 12x12 tube amp and you will make him cry. carry a weapon to protect your gear

I have to say i read your first post and then read through your thread and was cheering for the sw-112 all the way. No doubt my choice of your options as well as quality of a tunable subwoofer to most theater rooms. good luck!

Amp no doubt. As long as your happy with the current processors your current avr has you will appreciate a new amp very much. At times i will put an amp in a spot even somthing that is huge on center and maybe have the gain down and it gets stuck(the amp)there cause it just sounds so damn good. The processor in your current receiver says it all. If you feel you can get better features then go new receiver. Amps can completely change these features for the good in most of my experiences. So your yamaha will become a preamp and run all the duties of sound. Power will be from the amp. Playing with amps is part of the fun

Even a descent sub(you do some research)off craigslist would be great. I have to mention at all possible the exact opposite corner from the other sub i would position this new sub front right. This by all means is the easiest to get the most balance from any subwoofer system. Seems to work best to tuck a sub into furnature in say the left rear corner then another in front right or vice versa. Next option is with 2 is running them from the front corners and sometimes the rear corners only or all 4. I dont know where you live but i have an outlaw 12 and 2 velodyne 8's for sale. If needed please pm. like new condition in boxes with manuals.

much further you might want to patent this material. i sat in on the navistar certification yrs ago. sounds like you were the guy that should of ran it cause i still had to teach myself when i worked in service 4yrs ago in northern ohio

I was certified a while back with fleet suspension. Those bags were 12v obviously. Im not saying get some suspension bags although helping with possible power source with reason. I bought several high end 12v compressors that go in school buses, ambulances, motor homes etc.. anyhow i used these, the best you could get was a thomas compressor pump on a 12v psu. pump rated at 22amps so i bought the big pyramid with dual hook ups rated 40 amps and handles(ebay had them att for $150. I mudded a pair of ford bedsides and primed and painted them in a guys garage in under 8 hours with that rig. Not trying to say get bags and compressor but trying to toss around some ideas...I was also thinking of a couple large high voltage servos on lithium polymer 4 cell batteries. some of these ideas could get on the pricier side of the tv lift in a box, normally installed by the local a/v shop as well for $1100

There is a great variety of more and easy managable modern klipsch design in smaller structure. I appreciate some of the original smaller designs naturally. And see a market for original miniature klipsch designs such as what you see throughout this thread.

This is what klipsch is. mass calibration musically&digital media. Can be beat into a klip of klipsch miniatures. I cant turn klipsch down no matter what they are

I ran the 3490 with my ar20s til a freind liked it well enough to buy from me. Not quite the hilt your synergys do although I have never found any hk amp nor receiver i did not like. From wherever a person may view hk bottom line to top of the line the power they produce is always very good. In modern days i have not tested as much new since about 5 years ago ran the gauntlet from a-z and always resorted back to hk. From yamaha to marantz i stay with hk lol i could ramble on for days. In the approx 1-2k range with hk versitility&durability imo they cannot be beat. I have other amps atm from the 60's to current day yet my most important aspects in music remain loyal to hk
