Craig,
The CDT-5800-C should be fine and the one I would suggest.
Let me know why you ask about a back box? Code in your area. The ME is a Fire Rated enclosure
The ME boxes are designed to install between ceiling joists.The 800-C outside deminsions are 18 x 17.75, so that will not fit between a 24 inch by 24 inch tile.
Let me know about why you need to ME box and I will get back to you in the morning

Congratulations Mike!
Two words for you...
EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT!
What, we get an employee discount for working here??
Man I have been so loosing out on that one [
] -
congrats, don't forget to reset his number of posts now that he is an employee.
LOL, you bet, will do that soon.........just kidding, Mike won't loose his post count.
I had over 1000 when I came to work here in 2002, but when the first forum change came about, I lost over half of them.....

Mike has accepted an offer for Tech Support position here at Klipsch, start date dec 12.

As I was a bit curious about the size of T-350 compared to the K-77 Alnico, I asked Jim Hunter for his thoughts this morning.
It seems there where at least 3 different sizes one could find the EV tweeter, all marked T-350.
One larger as pictured in Bob's post, one the same size as the K-77 and one even a bit smaller than the K-77.
Jim suggested we have all three down in the museum in Hope.
I knew I had seen the T-350 the same size as the K-77 and it was chrome plated, too nice to be inside a cabinet was my first thought.
-
hmmm,
The t-350's sell on ebay for 400 - 500 bucks alone.
Not sure if "a set" is a top and a bottom or an actual pair.
What do T 350s look like? I have a pair of tweeters that came with a pair of speakerlabs.
The EV T-350 and the early K-77 chrome Alnico look alike, as EV supplied them

Where's your 'moderator' tag Stephen? We know who you are and we know where you work.
There ya go fixed, not sure what happened to it....[

look, Amy getting rid of Trey for while is just a bonus. You guys should be going nuts right now.
That's hardly a life-changing event for yours truly as promised, now is it?
Hang tight. We're getting closer. I can't announce until things are finalized though.
That does not mean I am not watching.......[

Having spent 3 months with beta Ref IV up front I had the chance to A/B my RC-7 to the RC-64.
My front end is RB-75's, I now have the RC-64, the blend across the front is now seamless. With the RC-7, I could tell the difference and had noticed it before the RC-64 even came out. RC-7 too big with RB-75's? No way, it was our suggestion as a center.
RB-15 as surrounds, maybe step up to the RB-25 if you can find them, if you really want to use a direct radiating speaker as a surround, they should be fine.The RB-25 has keyhole mounts like the RB-15, wall mounting would be easy.
I have the RB-5 as well, they are nice speakers, but the RB-75 is the way to go in my opinion
-
Ya they are so sweet. Sub?, they don't need no sub......We had a bit of fun with them last night before I left work around 7 PM. 120 to 122 dB with room to spare......ouch, trey wasn't in the room, Mike can relate though. BTW, I was off the clock LOL
Sorry guy's, but IF anything should ever come up and they have to go.....they are mine, I already have dibs on em.[
]1" 9 ply...to be exact.

In my position I am not supposed to suggest one brand over another.
However, we have the Cayin S A-88T/6550 in one of our rooms and we took it to Hope for the Pilgrimage this year. This is a 22W triode; 45W ultralinear per channel intergrated amp.
I have listened to the RF-7 with this amp and was very happy with the overall performance.
All I may really suggest is to your question is yes. The RF-7 and 5 should respond very well to tube amps as well as Intergrated tube amps

Robert (on the left) has been with Klipsch for <i>thirty years!</i> As such, he knows BULLSHIT when he sees it[
]. Here he finds some on Steve's back. Steve started off as a forum member, who came to Hope on the first pilgrimage, back in '01. He was hired by Klipsch not too long after that, and is in Customer Service(Tech Support (edit by Steve[]) (if I'm not mistaken...there I go again!).Hehe, Tech Support, but I do work for CS[

There should be some more tent raising pics up Tuesday sometime.
We will put them in the gallery with a link to it. They will all be about 1 meg each, sorry those on dial up. It is a lot easier to do this from work than home
send me the pics and i can size them for you? Photoshop has the ability to resize to be reasonable to 56.6 without resizing the photo, it just resaves at a lower but acceptable quality
Thanks for the offer, but I can resize them, Amy wanted me to bring them as they were. That way they may be "blown" up to a larger size if someone wanted.
We can do the same here at work.

Mark K and I will be in Thursday afternoon, may see some of ya around the Holiday Inn that night.
I will be workin late getting ready for this, so you may not even see me till late.

I bet Trey isn't going to be doing much partying. I bet he is really busy with a bunch of little things before we all show up. I bet he has even put Dr Who to work.
Steve
Mark K and I get to Hope sometime Thursday afternoon, then work till how knows what time, all day Friday will be busy for me and Trey.....
But Friday night will come around [

Steve- thanks for the kudos- say, is there a letter code for 'split'? As in Split LSI vs LSI all-in-ones?
Does my code above make any sense or were all BG (black 'glass) units also with the aluminum trim, making the AL unnecessary?
What would a pebble painted with aluminum trip split LSI be called (one pair of mine are this)? LSI BB ? birch, black is just standard black paint, right? Is there a code for the pebble paint that is now standard on the KPT series?
Michael[^]
Mike, most of this stuff is in my head, I would need to be at work to possibly suggest LSI BG AL's meaning.....some of it makes since, some of it is hard to track down......I will have a look see Monday. You could special order cabinet finishes at one time, some documintaion is in print, some of it is in our heads[
] -
OMIFRIGGINGAWD- how beautiful are those to my eyes!
I think what we have here is a pair of Split Industrial LaScalas in Birch Lacquer with Top Cane Grille.
LSI-BL-TG might be the designation in typical Klipsch parlance.
me wants me wants me wants.....
Michael
La Scala Industrial- Birch Laquer-Top Grill[

Sorry no one has answered.
We at Klipsch can not suggest a brand, but a Pro amp rated at 300+ wpc would be the suggestion. You may get some feed back from the Pro section of the forum, but there may not be much activity there.

Hey Trey, I will help as well...........O wait, I'm family, I have to help......what was I thinking
-
Would sound fine, same family. Academy center would too, good luck finding one though, well affordable anyway
All forte across the front, nuthin better than using the same for all three
-
Same, no difference
-
The K-51-V was used in the Cornwall during the transition period to the CW II. Used between 81 to 83.
Should not have found it's way into the K-Horn, LS or Belle from the factory
The K-51-V was a ceramic magnet version of the K-55-V.

In-ceiling speakers with backboxes in a dropped, acoustical ceiling...
in Technical/Restorations
Posted
It doesn't sound like you need a fire rated box per code. The box does include tile bridges, so it will be fine in that application. The fire box was designed to fit it small areas, studs for instance and to pass code for installation in plenum spaces. The in ceiling was designed for free air space, a box may tighten the bass, however, I have not had the chance to listen to one in this box.
Suggestion, cut a piece of 1/2 plywood the size of the tile and lay it on top of the tile. I will offer better bass responce Vs. the tile alone. The tile may not support the CDT. You would not need an install kit.
