Go over to AVS Forums, look up jdsmoothie, with AVS Ssles & give him a CALL.
He should be able to help advise you & you should be able to get the Denon X4000 Under Budget.
Yeah, I sent a friend over to him and he got a sweet deal on the x4000 too.

Super Bowl

Did Denver ever even score?

Super Bowl
in Lounge
I watched it until just a few minutes ago. Denver might just as well go home if they are not going to play. If they would have played like this during the season they would not have even made it to the playoffs.

Parked Domain?

1 Lowes store in town carries it and it's about $45.00 a sheet. 5/8 drywall $12.00 a sheet the the green glue and you use a lot of it. So you come out about $10.00 or less a sheet. The Quiterock is only 1/2 thick and 2 sheets of 3/8 with green glue is about 7/8 thicker. I will be using Quiterock on the ceiling as I can't lose almost a inch of height. They say it's equal to 5 sheets of drywall but I think that is without green glue.
So you are saying the Quietrock is less, or that the drywall/green glue is less?

"Made in USA" markings are only required if the product is being made for markets outside the USA. Which means in general that if there is no markings it is made for the US market or was imported with illegal markings and was not caught.

Thought I'd made a good score on a HDPVR for $8 yesterday, turns out the cable company can't activate it, due to the fact it is still shown as being on the previous owners account...The cable company does this in some sort of attempt to curb theft, apparently it was a real problem, I'm stuck with a nice unit, that can only go to the recycler!! The GOOD NEWS....it came with a Harmony 700 remote that looks like it was never used...
Take it apart and use it for a project case.

Would these work for running the wire to the woofer? I was thinking of getting these and drilling a hole through the cabinet the size of the can and then putting a small amount of silicone around it and shove them in the hole. By doing this I eliminate one more connection break.
I decided not do do the whole speaker flat black and I have skinned the sides with an additional 1/4" of finished Maple plywood. I was going to finish up sanding the edges today but it is raining.
Luckily I covered everything up last night with plastic. The sides will be Maple and, front, and rear will be flat black on the bass bin. As far as the top... I am looking at corian, granite, smoked glass, or mdf painted black. I am still tossing around as to whether or not I want to build a new upper box for the horn or have it displayed out in the open. -
Actually, that's the "little" K510 horn. The larger K402 horn that's also used on JubScalas and nearly always on Jubilees is a bit bigger than a whole La Scala cabinet, at 41 inches wide and over 20 inches tall. It's the only instance I'm aware of where the tweeter is bigger than the woofer, quite a bit bigger in fact.
The picture you posted is of my original right JubScala. Last June, I bought a pair of La Scala IIs and promptly converted them to 510 JubScala IIs. The original La Scalas (with CT125 tweeters and Sonicaps) are now behind the sofa, serving as left and right surround speakers, displacing a pair of Heresy IIs.
This is my current right speaker. The LS2s are a definite upgrade over the original La Scalas.
Can you give me the dimensions for the horn, please? I am trying to see if I can make my top section to where i could go to the 510 without too much trouble later on.

Here is a new one...
i stand alone and watch the clock
i only wait for it to stop
and in the room locked up inside me

i sit and wait alone in my room -
There's a woman on the outside
looking inside does she see me?
No she does not really see me
cuz she see's her own reflection.
And Im trying not to notice as she's
hitching up her skirt, and as she's
straighening her stockings her hair
has gotten wet...
Thats all I got. Anything to get away from the wires.
Go thebes. Great song choice.
Dave
And while she's
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Has gotten wet
Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I'm listening
To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice...
And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...
I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train

What I am trying to do is come up with a 12 channel amp that would consume almost no A/C... I figured a 25wpc or smaller amp should do the job with reserves. What do you think I should do?
First buy a good tube amp, the bigger the better, there fixed that for you, and your ears will be happy.
Next power this amp with a solar array, the bigger the better, there fixed that for you, now your wallet will be happy. and 'NO' A/C, Zero, Nada.
Sorry, this just looked like fun, 12 channels you say? are you trying to cut power cost or what ?
Yes I am trying to cut power consumption... Our Denon 4520 draws 1 amp just turning it on. Now granted with the Klipsch it doesn't go up from there but I believe a AVP with a minimal power 12 channel amp would cut it down maybe in half or more.

I have tried a couple of Topping amps with high hopes, but was disappointed. The small one had no bass, and the biggest one they make (50 wpc) was very 2 dimensional sounding. They do seem solidly built, but I guess they really don't have what it takes on the inside.
So which ones were good?
None. There was a nice clarity with my La Scalas with one one of the small 15 wpc Toppings, but as said above no bass, The big Topping (TP60) was a total fail. Tried it with my K-horns on a whim back in December (got a good price from Amazon) and it lasted only a couple of min. If have never heard the system sound more lifeless.
So the "D" chip amps are better?

Think you will find it is geared for things like computer speakers. If you buy 5 of them your "amp" will weigh 10 lbs.
In another thread there is a guy that was using the "D" chip amps and compared them to a tube amp. I was hoping these might fare as well.
-
I just picked up one of these to try out... If it works out I might just get 5 more, and call it a day. When I opened the box I was very impressed as to the build quality, it has a nice machined aluminum front faceplate and it is very compact.
-
I would not do that again; but Bill strapped it in securely & my Air Force training allowed me to verify; meantime, I want a receiver hitch for my car.
Very nice. Glad to hear the top one didn't fall out on the way home
Enjoy!
What did you do in the Air Force?

If you had a Lascala that was flat to 35 Hz, you'd have something special.
My center channel is mounted on its side and the Denon sets it to 40hz, while the other La Scalas are set to 60hz. The only other difference is the center is a Rodgers La Scala which has an identical crossover.

thats rmk from Avs. Those subs are long gone from his setup. JTR rules his room now. In fact he is selling his current JTR setup to buy their new flagship products when they come out.Here a picture of the Danley sound labs spud. This is not my photo I copied it off the net from another forum(hopefully the owner doesn't mind me using it).
I'm going over to his place in March to check it out.
-
I didn't realize the Industrial didn't go as far down as the consumer version. OOPS... I just looked up the specs and they are the same... For some reason I was thinking they went to 35hz. I know my Denon set my center to 40hz.
-
I will soon have a pair of Danley DTS-10 subs to make my 11.2 setup. Klipsch La Scalas for the front 3, KP3002 for the width channels, HIPs for the heights, and side surrounds, and SR70s for the rear surrounds. I have no intention of trying to get max SPL... I just want to be able to listen to movies at or below reference level and have the bass be all over the room with a house curve.

We know they're making fraudulent claims, but that's not the point of the discussion. Fraudulent claims doesn't do away with the fact that wire is an interface that effects the behavior of the components it's connected to, or that some wire types or topology are more ideal than others. For example, we learn that in spite of the continued insistence that zip cord is all that anyone ever needs, it's not really all that ideal, and that some audiophile favorites, like Goertz ribbon cable, can actually cause some amplifiers to go into oscillation.
It pays to be open minded and to learn a few things.

I remember years ago I tried making some rg6 speaker cables as Sumiko was marketing some and they were the rave... I made them and they made my amp go into oscillation. Sounded like a really messed up surround sound with my ML Sequels.

I have heard that it is no better than 2 pieces of sheet rock with green glue in between them... Just more expensive and ready to use.

No I think it was like less than $600... It was the daily deal and when they sold out it went back to the normal price.
