  1. So, you went and listened to it first, I presume?
  2. Hey if you turn your phone 90 degrees you get almost real life and not a truncated slot of life. Just sayin. Seeing this reminds me to ask what ever happened to the free standing Walnut tweeters?
  3. So what happened to all those old Crown amps and pro speakers?
  4. They are cheap enough and that is probably a good idea.
  5. They are on the OEM 904 crossovers. My intent is to build more rather than buy new ones as the price I was quoted was $200 per from Klipsch parts. This is not to replace a bad part. I think they might be needed here as the tweeter is rated 100 watts and the bass bin 800. These seem to be in most Klipsch pro gear and I am not smart enough about electronics to know how important these are. Turns out the x110 is the important number. Thanks Dean as always for your links.
  6. Yup but if you do not brace those sidewalls the best DSP in the world won't stop the cabinet resonance. I believe the cabinet resonance to be the bigger problem by far.
  7. It is silly. There is a program for Firefox called "Youtube video and audio downloader" that can give you a variety of ways to download from YT including audio only but so far all that I have played is decent but not great.
  8. It is irritating when you miss a deal for any reason. Also known as you snooze you lose. Now if you had made a deal for a price and then went there and he had jacked it up, that is a different story and you walk away knowing the seller is a jerk. I imagine he has seen listing prices elsewhere and adjusted accordingly. It is just nuts how much used Klipsch has gone up in the last year here and I figure that the market is adjusting for the new Klipsch prices which were crazy higher than they had been. What really boggles my mind is all the Heresy's for 600 to 900. What all these really sell for I don't know. $800 on Craigslist today. I sell Chorus speakers when I get them for about $1250. Crossovers recaped and a set of my LMAHL's in them so they are not stock either but I get that when I have them.
  9. Red color makes aggressive drivers. It is also like waving a red cape in front of the bull waiting to snag you. Bull is a cop for all you millennial types. We had built a nightclub in Chicago and had to keep repairing the restroom walls in the Gent's room. It had started out red in color and I don't remember why the color was changed. There was an end result though and the wall went from red MF'er board to it's all cool board and the fights stopped.
  10. I know what you mean. I was listening to this on my monitor sound bar and they sounded PERFECT.
  11. Hey Claude I can build you a death ray audiobot if you wish heh heh.
  12. Ha Ha how true. A while back I said black speakers ruled and veneer did not and got pummeled for that. No, the only valid review is in person. There is no other way to listen and make an informed choice based on your own personal preferences.
  13. You did really good work on these. Until now I thought the CW's were big boomy boxes but not anymore. Of the ones you showed us the CW was the most improved and next was the phase plug in the 1132's which I also have had a chance to hear.

    They look good to me too and they don't come up very often around here.
  15. I have the first three templates I can save and they behave right. From 4 to 6 the right channel does not work so I am certain I am missing a setting. I have not gone past 6 to try those figuring I need to fix the problem first.
  16. OK I have some xdat files that work just fine. However in the last two days while setting up new files for some 904's I can't get right channel output. I go back to the xdat file for my S-MWM's and all is well. I have looked high and low for some setting I am missing and I can'y find one. I can post some files here if that will help but hoping someone has had this issue before and can tell me what to look for. Going to reload the software next I guess.
  17. Probably the same ones on EBay for a really long time now. Rare yes but way overpriced unless the commercial version has collector value to someone for some reason.

    Seller is a decent guy I have dealt with before. He has made a living off audio equipment in various ways for many years now and expect him to try to get as much as he can for his gear. Sorry those $850 to $950 days are GONE. He may be high but you are low and good luck finding LSBR's in good shape for what you think is fair value. Seems to me they have gone up at least $300 in the last year or so. Based on what I see here in middle Tennessee.
  19. I thought the Peoples Collective in Ann Arbor taught hooked on Ebonics?
  20. Well get ready to be offended often because the price of used Klipsch is going up really fast. IF you can even find some close by. Klipsch with their latest price increase and the better PR they are getting has made these used speakers almost double from what I had been paying two+ years ago. Some people get lucky but most will not.
  21. Rectangular SMAHL + DE120. Type E crossover rebuilt to AA configuration with Sonicaps and no zeners. Eminence Kappa 15C to replace the non stock K-33's that were in them and because I wanted to hear a set since so many here brag on them. Mid brace from dog house to sidewalls. Duratex. Extra screw driver also supplied because I care.
  22. Pipe organs lead to Super MWM's if you are not real careful. Nothing beats sitting next to the 32' pipes.
  23. At half rated output the clipping monitor on the amp shows zero clipping. The lowest light never even starts glowing. I hardly ever go that loud and only do so with hearing protection on and let the visitor that wants to hear thump have at it. Half the rated output of my two amps into those S-MWM's is more than I care to handle. How do you know this amp is distorting at the level you mention and what is your base line for that comment?
  24. Indoors only so far. This spring though I am going to roll the big door up on the shop, point them out and let them rip and we shall see what there is to be had. You show up at SWAG and I might have a chance to do the same thing there.
