Looking at Cites web site it looks like I have the HIE type crossover.

Is that for a pair? I have to open up my Industrial HIPs to see if that is what I have... If it is I am interested.

If you want to impress them... Get a boombox and drive a pair off the headphone amp... We did that back in the early 1980s and it sounded like a big stereo!

We experimented the other day and used a Samsung Note phone to drive one LaScala outside! It was ok to listen to for background music only... But I have no idea how much power the phone was putting out. I am assuming it was way below even a 10th of a watt.

Yes, that is what I am saying. I would call Denon and see what they tell you. I think they are worried that you will turn it off or something while it is upgrading the firmware and brick it. I have let the Denon upgrade when it wants too. Here is an example of what Sony says about their liability on firmware upgrades... "SCE AND ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES EXCLUDE ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFIT, OR ANY OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL HOWEVER ARISING, AS A RESULT OF ACCESSING TO OR USING THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE OR ANY OF THE CONTENTS, PROGRAMS, FEATURES, SERVICES OR INFORMATION ON OR PROVIDED THROUGH THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE. SO LONG AS THIS PROVISION IS ENFORCEABLE IN YOUR JURISDICTION, THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS SHALL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE." The comment I read said that usually there will be Software License Agreement you have to click on before it updates the firmware... It has been a while since I did the firmware on the Denon, so I don't know if Denon is doing it or not. My big concern is what happens when you are out of warranty and it does a firmware upgrade... Who is responsible? I am hoping that Denon would stand behind their product but I don't know if they will.

Years ago I had some QSC amps and I got some acoustic foam (the grey ones they use on studio walls) and put them in front of the fans about a foot away to quiet them down, and it worked fine.

I remember years ago when they first started colorizing movies and they looked pretty weird, but these looked great IMO.

did you see this one? http://imgur.com/gallery/GxFRjyz

If you take it to a repair shop and they do the upgrade I believe they will honor the warranty but as far as doing it yourself I doubt it. I have heard of some people recently that have done firmware upgrades on other products and it made it a brick and they were SOL. Now I had a PS2 years ago, and I bought the extended warranty and it did the upgrade by itself and made it a brick... It was replaced by warranty. You never know what they are going to say. In another forum people have uploaded the firmware for people to use and they say use at your own risk... If it becomes a brick you are on your own.

Those are some great pics... Thanks for providing the link.

I just fired it up on my LaScalas too. Nice! Praful is another nice group.

I haven't heard that one in years... I will have to dig out my cd and give it a listen again. I forgot that it was so good for bass... I will have to make it one of the first cds I listen to with my Triax sub when it arrives.

Might have to try them for our next cooktops!

Firmware updates scare me as I am always worried about it making my equipment into a brick. The bad thing is if you do a firmware upgrade and it makes it a brick, they won't cover it under warranty, which in my opinion sucks! I had a few problems with my 4520 when I got it and I did the firmware update and luckily everything went fine and my receiver now works fine. Hopefully I will not need anymore firmware upgrades and the 4520 will last a long time.

I wish I had money to buy these.

Aren't they the same as the ones that are put on chair legs?

I think you need a bigger screen... LOL. Man you are so lucky to have a setup like that!

If a person was to soundproof a room... And they put some Heresy speakers recessed into the wall (like in the above picture) would they need to treat the cavity the same as the rest of the walls ie double drywall etc?

. The La Scala bass will be louder too if you turn it around and face it to the wall or a corner but it works fine faced into a room, same with the Tuba, plenty of output unless you are trying out for an SPL contest. Even at very loud listening levels with my THT facing my listening position there was no lack of bass. I never had an issue personally at Bills forum. Good to know. I actually face my THT's out and it's fine. You don't get the added gain of corner loading is all. As far as problems at the BFM forums I posted some questions a while back and got snippy responses like didn't you read the instructions and can't you use the search function. Happened a few times. You probably never asked stupid questions there. I guess some of the people in the forums have never heard "if you have nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut!". I have run into that problem too and it has usually been after I have grown tired of searching for an answer that I decided to post the question.

Those LSIIs look beautiful!

What a sweet deal! Hopefully they will go to a good home. Good luck with the sale!

Someone should jump on these!

Why reinvent the wheel? Build a SPUD or 2 and call it a day. It's a proven design made exactly for that particular application. Good idea. I don't know if this is the best drawing of the sub. Also, what about the F20 (did I say that right?). How high is it? How does that work? Do you wire one woofer out of phase so the sound waves don't collide?

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ele/4164899968.html I would jump on em but in the last 2 weeks I have already bought 3 LaScalas and a pair of Heresy Industrial HIP speakers. Someone should jump on these fast!
