    Well y 'all through me in, and thank you for that, it's been about a month short of 10 years and I still look forward to turning it on every day.

    Well, your 99% of the way there.

    I'm thinking after you hear the S MWM's you might have to wade in a bit deeper. The pool does get deeper you know.

    OK OK at least I listen and I am trainable😊  That 1132 is just fine for this and the current production version of the 942 uses this driver. I can see the potential here and have a Xilica xp3060 and two Crown xli800's ready to go.

    So today I decided I could not wait any more to hear these 402's you all brag about. Put some 1132 drivers on there and put them on top of the MWM bins and used the existing mid output on the MCM crossover. The difference was NOT subtle and I am in awe of the increased definition these have. I can only imagine what it will all sound like once the SMWM is complete and all the components are dialed in right. These 402's kind of overwhelm the MWM's in this configuration which surprised me.

    I think the ignorance being displayed are posts that criticize without offering any specificity.  ..It would be helpful to the discussion if you could elaborate.

    Priceless!! Another great morning and here we are again with OD the Audio Expert regaling us with words of wisdom. Ninja class buzz word salad mixed to hopefully sound good to beginners splashed with a dash of pontification dressing as the Oracle of Audio deigns to educate the knuckle draggers. Specificity...... YES he said that HAHAHA!

     

    How many days of MDF now OD?🤣

    I’ve been trying to ignore this masturbatory exercise, but feel compelled to summarize my take on it one more time before ignoring it until it withers away.

    • Spend most of your money on speakers; and
    • All amplifiers that are identical sound the same.

    IMO and experience, all amplifiers are not identical and do not sound the same.  If a “beginner” or self proclaimed expert feels all amps sound the same, God bless ‘em.  If anyone perceives differences among amps, and prefers one amp over others — as I do — you’re still OK.

     

    This is not a serious thread it is entertainment for OD. Treat it as such and be amused.

    Not true.  ..I wish anyone who uses an SET amplifier to enjoy it in good health.  They are entitled to enjoy the hobby and music in their own way.  But I think they should acknowledge that they prefer amplifiers that alter the signal, albeit in a way they find pleasant.

    Hmmm, so we are not talking about cheapo amps today I take it?  You are a hoot OD and there is not one smug bone of superiority in your body.

    @Dave A Pretty much we are free to set things up as we see fit at Rodney's clubhouse on Friday afternoon/evening and Saturday. I don't think the Klipsch factory will be keen on you bringing the Super MWMs there, I mean to the factory. You will have plenty of volunteers to help moving those babies. I would think you will need a whole speaker system not just LF cabinets, are you thinking of bringing a top end also?

    It would be at Rodney's for sure and I would not think of asking to bring these to Klipsch. I am going to also have a Xilica xp3060 + two Crown xli800's and two 402 horns with 1132 drivers.

    I don't see why not. As long as it is big enough to make it stable. High freq energy coming out of a tweeter is not going to move it. Just make sure that it won't stick out past the back of the cabinet if the user is setting the tweeter back to align with the mid driver.

    Well that will depend on what is needed to make the stand stable. I am thinking 6" x 6". No sense in making something to easily toppled.

    I'm summarizing the advice offered by the amps sound different crowd. 

     

    all amps and other electronics sound different and should be compared and selected through sighted and extended auditions

     

    If that is a mischaracterization, please tell me how precisely.  Is that not your stance on amplifiers, cd players, DACs, etc..? 

    OK buster, refute THAT one. You have had it now Dean.

    Generally, we have respectful, well behaved guests. We target a more mature market. But, it only takes one. 

     

    Anything we stack or have raised will be well supported. 

     

    I am still wondering about how many speakers you are using for one venue at a time. I was told if I wanted to put sound in a restaurant for instance with four speakers, one in each corner, to flips the channels so that the right side faced the left and the left would face the right. There is an art to making things sound right in tandem.

     Just read what you said about crowd size again. Maybe bi-amping and a mixer board is the answer to a changing environment. I don't know just guessing. Chief Bonehead endorses the La Scala for this and I know they get loud enough.

    Yes and you are still subjected to the same dumbing down the USA students are by design. The nice thing about statistics is that even as standards of excellence are declining around the world one can still make the claim to be at a certain position relative to others and be right. What is ignored in passing, or due to deliberate deception, is the fact none are as good as they were. One can't possibly be as proficient at hard core disciplines when so much of the four years now involves indoctrination, affirmative action and material not relevant to the major.

    We are about to fall out of being in the top 20 in general education. (Fact alert)

    Better yet get an old McGuffy's Reader and see what students used to have to know. Back in the days when 2+2 still equaled 4 and you did not have to have social engineering constructs to interpret how you should get to 4. Oh and there were only two sexes. I despise current education standards and their deliberate effort to tear us down.
