Those LSI's I had with the fiberglass on them made me pause just a bit before I sold them and kept the KP-450's. They were heavier on the side walls and it does make a big difference.

I do have some old beater LSI's that toured with the Oak Ridge Boys to try this on. Really hammered on but still sound good and a real testament to Baltic Birch's durability.

The new one is one inch thick. I believe it does not make a difference whether it is MDF like Klipsch OEM or Baltic Birch which would be my choice since both will tame that cabinet.

MCM 1900 three way stack is my current system. I like to buy and fix old speakers so I have gone through a number of them in the last few years.

I am finding over time fidelity is what I am looking for although a lot of electronic stuff with all the weird genre titles sounds bizarre to me. Swapped music with a speaker buyer recently and he was loaded up on Rap full of trash lyrics, if you could call disgusting rants lyrics, and no talent repetition and all those were scrubbed right away. I listen to anything once because you just never know.

I have one on the way from EBay Sweden so it will take a few days.

OK maybe not deflection and I will see if I can find it.

Amending this to wait and see.

No specific version then? You do have it in hand don't you since you have offered to take it places?

I can't answer that since I had no way to analyze output other than listening to them. I forgot to mention that the LSI also had K-43 woofers in them which does not go quite as low as the K-33's did but sounds much better to me. It was not a subtle difference either. Trying to get to the point where when I make changes to things I can measure results. On the LSI I had rebuilt the crossovers, put in a set of DE120's and had also put in a set of K-55-V soldered lug drivers. The final result was really striking. The stock LSI's with just the crossover recapped was also superb and did not have the side wall resonance I had heard on regular La Scalas.

OK I see it now. Which specific version do you have meaning who made it and bit rate etc. Not all productions of the same music is of equal quality.

There were two things I have found with the La Scalas. The K-77 is shrill for my tastes and the DE120 is much better. At higher volumes you could take and clamp a board to each side of the La Scala and the sound would become more musical and less strident. The best set I ever had was a one piece LSI with fiberglass and aluminum trim. This reinforced or dampened or did both to the side walls and they were the sweetest La Scalas I have ever had. Best in 7 sets that have gone through here. Yes the sidewalls were to thin in my opinion. At one time when I was thinking of making some it would have had 1" sides.

Time has passed and you, Kink56, have been here since then and have read the question I am certain. What CD are you referring to? I for one would like to establish a base line for your claim and this begins with the CD DVD or whatever you say will prove things. You do have one don't you?

I have had multiples of Chorus I and II and Cornwall I and II here. Big plus for Cornwalls to me is the lack of a passive which means I can put them anywhere. Of the four the one I like the best is the Chorus I. Does not care where you place it since it is front ported and has better definition especially on bass where the Cornwall may go a bit deeper but sounds boxy to me. In all fairness I have never braced the motorboard inside the Cornwalls I have had to see if that would change my opinion of them. As they are stock from Klipsch my pick is the Chorus I.

Great Plains Audio is staffed with people from the old Altec company. They bought a lot of the old production setup and do re-coning to the original specs. I was quoted I think $115 to get some 15" woofers done + shipping both ways. I would think they could do duplexes to so give them a shout. I don't see a way for you to ever get those back into proper shape and would not even try. So Facebook uses a subset of the English language as a rule? Never joined and not seeing any incentive to do so and feed the Zuckerberg privacy invasion machine.

It's the ripples that really make it special.

Super Distressed Oak Finish.

Are you planning on keeping both or choosing one over the other?

On day twenty three What shall we now see OK OD question for you. Advice given is more money spent on speakers than the rest. Why did you not follow your own advice? Very confusing for people to read one thing and then see you did another with your equipment list.

In Nashville at Hi Fi buys but they don't sell Klipsch and try to talk you into B&W junk.

It is no joke. I have some 1132 driver problems with the pile-o-456's I bought and serial numbers required. So I take pictures of the SN's and send them off. I have had to do this with Forte passives also in the past.

OK Dean I am here to say all amplifiers sound the same. There is provably not one iota of difference. I can take you to any showroom and I don't care how many different amps are in there they all sound the same. Now if you go and turn them on that may not be true but most of the time they are not on so most of the time at the very least they all sound the same.

I have a set of Speakerlab drivers that look just like that. No logos but everything else is the same including the sad appearance.

Good morning everyone. I was skeert I might have to end the count but welcome to day 22 of the linear set thingy.

I have noticed getting older produces more methane from the same amount of source material and as a bonus I care less about subtle emissions release.
