Above and beyond improving components I am finding more and more much of my music simply being run through Audacity and just normalizing at a higher data rate yields great definition benefits.

You do know you have space for Super MWM's don't you?

You can never satisfy an SJW who looks for and thrives on being offended. I would hate to go through life seeking things to be angry over like these unhinged people do.

I question the pricing sometimes because it does not go along with what I personally pay and sell for. This is for the Middle Tennessee area. I fix my stuff up though but still I have people drive four and five hundred miles to buy at higher prices than are on that list. These have been listed before same guy same pictures and never sell.

It's not the boxes I worry about it's the idiots that throw and drop things. Those are big heavy magnets and shocks can shift them.

Guys they are dismantled and I am not putting them back together. If this comes up again I will offer them here and we shall see how it goes. I live way out in the country so those guys may not want to serve me. I will at least look into it though. Bonfire yes along with a set of Quartet cabinets I could not GIVE away the KSM 2's and an old KP 3002 and the KP 262's. Never again for any of them here. Seriously thinking of doing it to a set of JBL's too since I have been all over the map on the price and have even offered to GIVE them to any church and here they sit. Another one of those I wanted to hear mistakes.

I have a rule with speaker sales for better or worse. I want people to pick them up in person. Each of us has a different set of ears and preferences and while there is general consensus about what sounds good some like La Scalas and some like Cornwalls best. So I expect people to show up here and if they don't like them I Paypal a refund right on the spot. I have never had to do that but the offer is there. And then when they leave I am not responsible in any way for anything like shipping damage and then the ensuing nonsense that can go with that. With all the damaged shipments I received last Christmas season I can say in retrospect this is the best choice for me. I have tried for over a year to sell these and no I don't want to destroy them but at some point in time things have to go. I have given people plenty of time to get them and no one has appeared. I have to drive all over the place to get these because I wanted to and I bought these things I had never heard before because I wanted to hear them. I figure someone who is interested can do the same thing I did. I also have a list of things I will never buy again because they are darned hard to sell no matter how nice they sound and these 262's are in that category. Never again. Same for KP 260's and KSM 2's.

Something very strange in Birmingham, must be the water. I went there to look at a pair of perfect condition Walnut horizontal Cornwalls a couple of years ago. I get there and the wife (?) answers the door and says her husband is not here because he left mad when he found out his son had swiped his hookup wires and so he could not play them for me. OK I figured I would go have a look anyway. Walk in the house and filthy with fleas everywhere. Got to the Cornwalls and they were Walnut Formica covered. I have made some decent buys outside of Birmingham but not in the city limits.

The new stucco finish impervious to road damage.

OK folks today is scrap day. I will have parts and cabinets until tonight when the boxes get burned. Parts will however be available after that.

OK folks they are getting the ax today. I will still have the boxes and components until fire time tonight and then they will be gone gone gone. Spare parts will however be available. I hate to trash good old Klipsch but such is life.

YES. The only way I would ever let mine go is if the Super MWM build does what I think it will and I find some 402's to pair it with. You get good music to play and the fidelity and definition is unbelievable with the 1900's. I want to hear those MWM's go 15hz lower though and I have some organ music waiting. It's funny to watch people when they hear something like these for the first time. I had to quit letting people who were there to buy speakers hear them until they decided what they were there for was what they wanted and bought them. Then they could hear the speakers that were not for sale.

I remember stopping by your house and seeing a big pile of equipment you had just bought but I had no idea what it could do. Then I discovered KP-450's, KP-456's and finally my real doom MCM 1900's. I too am passing these on to someone who might have enough sense not to continue for bigger and better. I am going to try to build a set of Super MWM's this month so you see once you become ill there really is no hope is there?

I know and I wish they had gone to you. The story here is that I had sold these to a guy along with other stuff and here they sit a year later. He has made two trips to get things and never has space to take all he has here. For the last month, which means two months after he promised to get them, I get no reply to emails or phone calls and I decided to just sell them off. If he ever shows up or answers his phone I will refund his money but I am NOT his long term storage unit any more. Listing these on EBay tonight to for more $$ and I don't know how long they will be here. LOL I forgot to post pictures and you will hate it when you see them.

I asked Claude that same question and his guess was maybe 100 worldwide. Hard to imagine as good as they sound that more did not survive.

There is some very pretty wood a lot of people don't know about that is hard I have thought of. Osage Orange is dense and hard and fine grained and quite pretty as is Mulberry. Another I have thought of is Persimmon that they used to make golf clubs out of. Black locust is another and I have it lying around and it is hard and tough and lasts forever and is also pretty. But I don't envision ever doing much in this area except trying just to see and occasionally as a favor.

Hi Carl, Absolutely no interest in cutting plastic for these and while I MAY indulge a few requests of interest to me personally I do not want to get into the business of just cutting whatever someone has on hand. You might as well buy a set of Al ones from me because the vast majority of the cost is in the cutting time and helping to pay in a small way for the $95,000.00 mill. I have a different solution for you so look for a PM.

I have moved dozens of speakers from small to MCM 1900's and for things like chorus, Cornwall, Fortes etc I simply put a blanket down and lay them on their backs on it. I put cushions of some sort between them and to the sides, whatever I have handy and will not mar veneer and this is usually lots of big bubbles bubble wrap and blankets. I have a full sized van so I do not worry about weather and I slide them all the way forward so sudden braking will not cause them to slam forward. If I have a lot of stuff and have to use a trailer to I make sure there is no rain in the forecast and do not pick up until bright sunny skies are there. You are going to damage them more loading and unloading and bringing them in and out of houses than transporting has been my experience. But then I have to move everything by myself most of the time so bring a helper if you don't have the muscle. Great choice by the way I like the Chorus over Cornwalls and Fortes any day.

There is a Super MWM post in the Klipsch Pro Forum section that will explain it in detail but basically it is a variation of the MWM that is 60" deep instead of the 44" deep MWM from Klipsch and the modeling indicates it should go 15hz lower.

Dean mentioned the idea of insulated alligator clips and I am going to send something with these road show tweets to make it easy. Radio Shack died for me some years ago when they wanted to sell me batteries at $24 a pair. Then I find the same things later on EBay for about $3. I don't mind a markup for convenience and a place I can go when in need that day but I do object to being plundered. I have never been back since.

Had a forum member stop in yesterday to sell me a set of Fortes. He is the one who bought the set of Cornscalas I had so we have been going back and forth over a couple of things. In any case he heard the Chorus speakers and was pretty impressed with the new tweets. I wanted the Fortes to test the tweets in them too, K-76's, and so we took a few minutes to switch them out. He is a classical music fan and has much better hearing range then I do and he is telling me about triangles and castanets and other things I can't even hear in the back ground of the music. He had these Fortes for some time and felt there was real improvement over just adding the Ti diaphragm which he had done as well as wrap the K-76's in dynamat.

Personal and hopefully final end all be all system. Why do you ask?

Throw another variable into the mix hardwood from northern states is denser than southern states because it grows slower so where the wood comes from also matters. I have some serious doubts about wood use but we shall see.

Wonder how many people actually do this with their setups?
