Woofers and Tweeters

TTT

Can't live without Chorus eh? lol

@seabreeze How long have you had them?

Yeah, that's a scam

@HumanTrophy you have a headstart on taking them apart to restore them. Here is an option for the cabinet recoating, most people use Duritex. Here is a K33 out of a Cornwall. It is not the right woofer, but.....

That wasn't what I was trying to do. I agree with what you said. IMHO, @HumanTrophy should set the K44e aside until another one, if ever, is scored. In the meantime, use a pair of K43, or even K33 to get them up and going.

You might reach out to Eminence to see what they offer that's closer than this one.

The K44 will probably not be an easy find. As Bruce said, the K43 can work in its place, and I would replace them both with the same woofer. Here is some more info about the two woofers. If you can score some TSCM, your C-1 will match them.

There was a boy who worked in the produce section of the market. A man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied he did not need a whole head, but only a half head. The boy said he would go ask his manager about the matter. The boy walked into the back room and said, "There's some arshole out there who wants to buy only half a head of lettuce." As he was finishing saying this he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half." The manager okayed the deal and the man went on his way. Later the manager called on the boy and said, "You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from son?" The boy replied, "Minnesota sir." "Oh really? Why did you leave Minnesota" asked the manager. The boy replied, "They're all just whores and hockey players up there." Really replied the manager, "My wife is from Minnesota!!" The boy replied, "No kidding! What team did she play for?"

@Rivernuggets

True story? 🧐

600-mile round trip. Wouldn't it cost a lot less to drive there and get them than to ship them? The risk of damage should be less too.

Sometimes the grime hides the damage. No one saved any pictures of these?

I will try to come over next weekend. I will bring my Figured Walnut Heresy and a few amps. I was hoping that you could bring your speakers here because of the room treatment I have and the amps we could try. If you have hardwood floors and or reflective surfaces, and or if your room has equal walls (a cube), then that would cause problems.

LOL. Stop it.

So what are you waiting for?

Steve Martin tried that.

Yes, and that was an intense situation. I was able to reason with the hostage takers and I was able to convince me and myself to not do anything that we would regret. 🤪

See anything that you want? I need to let others enjoy some of them.

What is in the rest of your system?

Yeah, I saw that and you did great. Sorry that you can't get the woofers you need. I am sure I didn't place enough zeros after the decimal point.

It is not easy to say. For years I have enjoyed the NAD, Denon, HK, and such, plus the Yamaha, Pioneer, Kenwood and the ilk. IMHO, Sansui and Marantz were two that chased the 'dream' beyond others. I have gotten into the McIntosh SS equipment and I have to admit that it is a notch above where I was. Several tube guys say that MC isn't where they are with their tubes. I am enjoying the journey.

A few examples are in my sig line. 99.9% of LaScala owners will never change their old speakers, so the port mod is for the 0.1% who might. He came up with the PPSL using four 8" woofers in place of the one 15" too. That is for the 0.001% to try.

Most of us here have done similar things and said similar words.... it's a part of the journey. After a lot of moving them in, out; forward then back; toed a little this way and then that, I have made the Forte 'disappear' and made a soundstage. They are great speakers. I want to hear the Heresy 4.

The sound came through very clear. Having the Heresy close together isn't good, but having them forward vs the Forte would have the two pair's sound reaching your ears at two different times. Also, those are Forte 1s? the grills are a little different than the ones I had.
