Arnold will just pack the legislative agenda with more pork. Mr. Haney has nothing compared to the guy who knows 'the art of the deal' best. That being Don King. Arnold will just pack the legislative agenda with more pork. Mr. Haney has nothing compared to the guy who knows 'the art of the deal' best. That being Don King. Ok now you have me rethinking my choices. I now may change my mind. Did I say change my mind so quickly, HMMMM maybe I could run. I mean changing your mind and political promises so quick, isn't that qualifications for becoming leader & chief of this country

Guys, lets take a breath for a moment and be serious about our new upcoming president. I personally want an intelligent but down to earth president. One who is not easily excited or makes rash decisions. So after much thought and deliberation, my choice has come down to 2 candidates. I may be going out on a limb here, however I feel either choice would be a better pick than what we currently have to choose from. # 1 pick is Arnold Ziffel, from green acres. He was able to solve many perplexing problems on that show, ( one damn smart pig). #2 Mr Haney, same show. That man could wheel and deal with the best of them.

Hope you get them. I actually looked into uship for a shipping quote. Good luck and best wishes. Dean

Jim stop playing with my inkling and my desire. You just may talk me into the worst road trip of my life. Its not the cost of the speakers or the cost of the trip, Its the simple fact, I barely make it to the grocery store with out getting sleepy. Dean

My heart skipped a beat! Make that 2 beats!! One for each speaker. And they are only 1957 miles from me. only 30 hours there and 30 hours back.

Thanks everyone. After some more searching, I think just maybe I will back off my search. More $$$$$ than I ever thought. Will have to head in another direction. Initially got the idea of using them from seeing pictures of speakers with wood horns. Wow , some of them look awesome. But, the money, NO CAN DO!!!! I have a set of JBL 300 cabinets, with no drivers in them. I thought, I would experiment and modify just to see what I could come up with. I know most people want original, I just wanted to put some Bob Crites drivers in them and have a beautiful wood horn on top. Everyone Have a great day, Dean

​Looking for some help on wood horns. I have a project that I would like to start and want to use wood horns for cosmetic reasons. Is there anyone who makes and sells them ? Or does anyone have a pair for sale? Thanks Dean

Just curious, has anyone tried the remote volume control ( R cube )? ​I see them listed on everyone's favorite auction site, but I know nothing about them. You are supposed to be able to hook them up to your pre outs on your vintage receivers and control volume with a remote. I hope someone here knows something about them, before I lay out the $342.00 to get one If they work as they state, I think it would be a great device to have. Thanks and enjoy your day, Dean

I have two Jethro Tull tickets for sale. @ the Montgomery Performing Arts Center, on April 15TH, 2016 They are in the orchestra seats. seat # 36 & 37 Not the best seats in the house however you will be in the front row. I purchased them from Ticket master online They were the last of the front row tickets available. I paid $685.68 Now here is the real kick in the head. My wife and I cant make the show. Here's the deal. I am willing to sell them for $450, Yes My loss will be $235.00 Of all the bands I had on my bucket list Tull was #1 We are losing to many artist from that generation. I hope Ian is still around for many, many years to come. Maybe I will get another chance. Several ways we can do this transaction. You are welcome to pick up the tickets from me.

will you split them up or must we buy the pair? Sorry everyone The bent rusty nails are sold, And guess what!! I got my asking price. Fear not, I will be on the search for more. Made a pretty good profit.

Braggers, brag. Haters, hate. That is the way of the world. When it comes to money a seller generally wants the most he can get for his product. I have been a Picker ( flipper ) for almost 40 years now. of course I want to buy low and sell high. It pays my bills. If It went the other way for me, the utility company would shut me off. If your neighbor had a mint pair of Klipschorns for sale for $500, which one of us would not be the first at his door. I have to admit, it does bother me when people dog others on their prices. I hunted it down, I traveled to pick it up, I repaired it, I cleaned it up, My price is my price. If you don't like someones price, see if they are open to offers, if not, just walk away. We don't have to be nasty or hateful about it. Everyone enjoy your day. P.S. I have a matching pair of bent rusty nails for sale. My asking price is $10,000.00 shipping not included.

Max2 You hit the nail on the head. I think its like that with most things we sell.

You may find this interesting since you are getting a pair of JBL L300's. They were also another big horn I was mighty impressed with when I first heard them. http://www.firstwatt.com/pdf/art_l300.pdf Good morning. I will post my findings on the 300s. I see you are in Alabama. Just curious how close we are to each other. I am in Robertsdale. Just good to know your neighbor. Dean

I just sold a set of mint 19s to a local man. He was running Heresy's. He is unbelievably happy with them. I on the other hand would not put them up against the Klipsch top four. I have the top four and have done a lot of listening to the 19s, side by side with the Klipsch. Klipsch for me won every time. Having said that, the 19s are no slouch. They do have great sound. As a matter of fact, the day I sold them, I had sellers remorse. Now to put a kink in the chain. I purchased a pair of modified 19s and they blow the original 19s away. In my opinion the mods keep up ( almost ) with the Khorns. Not quite, but close. I am headed out today to pick up some JBL L300s. Cant wait to hear what they sound like. I have learned a lot from the Klipsch forum members. But there is nothing like hearing for yourself. Its definitely a wild hobby we have, with all the different gear and speakers we have to choose from. It becomes absurdly addictive. I also am picking up some tube mac gear today. Will the search ever end? If you can get the 19s at a reasonable price, go for it. They are worth a listen. I wish everyone a great day. If you get a chance listen to some music. Dean

Pair of Dynaco MK VI mono block tube amps, for sale or trade!! These amps are in fantastic condition both cosmetically and sonically. 120 watts each These are ultra rare as only 2000 were made. I purchased these amps from an sound engineer who worked at the Opryland recording studios for years. The amps came from those studios. I currently have them listed on an internet auction site for $3600.00 ( you know the one ) I would be willing to trade for a pair of nice Khorns or a pristine set of Belles. or maybe others. We could work out the details. I am in the Pensacola - Mobile area Some day I will get the hang of adding photos correctly. Please feel free to look on the auction site for better photos.

same experience, My wife and I saw it last night. First time in a theater since forrest gump. Should have waited for the dvd. somewhat entertaining but a bit slow. I wonder if clint eastwood would have directed the movie, if it would have made a difference.

Wow! First post of mine, where everyone who responded appears to have valid points. You guys are way out of my league, when it comes all of the all of the technical jargon. I think when my money allows, I will purchase a good tube preamp and hook it up to my Dynaco MK VIs and give it a whirl. In the movie Open Range, Kevin Costner had a chocolate bar in his pocket that had melted. He pulled it out and tasted it, and then said ( melted or not, good is good ). Tubes versus Solid State, ( good is good ) I know one thing for sure, I am sticking with my Klipsch speakers.

Maynard, just read the carver challange. Eye opener indeed. Gave me a lot of food for thought. Many thanks.

Thanks everyone. You have made very good comments in reference to my post. I think I will continue to experiment and get a good tube preamp and listen for a while. I will post my findings when I have more experience on the topic. For each and everyone of you, I hope you have a safe and wonderful day. I do love this site. I have dealt with several people from this forum, both buying and selling. Some great people here.

When your right, your right. I love the sound of my ss gear. However like most people, I just want to see if their is room for improvement.

Dave thanks for the post. Well thought out indeed. Love the Duke Ellington reference.

I know this will open up a old can of worms ( but here goes). Yes its that old tube versus solid state again. So where dose one turn to, well its the internet, and guess what, the battle continues. I am listing the following info that came from the internet. Not my words, others comments. The Mind's Eye All musical perception is purely intangible. We can't put a finger on a musical image and point someone else to what we're seeing as we can on a painting, piece of sculpture, a musical score, a book or a photograph. Because musical images are created entirely in our imaginations, what we think we are going to hear is often what we hear. This is why otherwise reasonable people think they hear huge differences in foolish (but high-profit) items like cables or power cords. Even though there is no real difference, they hear very real differences that just aren't there. The differences are very real in that listener's vivid imagination, but no where else. This is why we use double blind tests where neither the subject nor the presenters know what's being heard when we try to do scientific research, like the AES research above. Music is all about using our imaginations. This is a very good thing and why music is such a powerful art form. This is why a good HiFi can recreate the original listening experience. Unlike a TV or movie, close your eyes, and you can be seeing and feeling the same things that you do in the concert hall. I close mine and see the performers, see them moving around, breathing, moving valves and keys, turning pages, and then I see the music itself. You have to concentrate, and if you listen carefully and keep your eyes closed, you'll see the music, too. If you think a nice, warm glowing tube amplifier is going to sound smooth, liquid and warm, it will! Our imaginations are very susceptible to suggestion; that's the whole point. And guess what else I found, so many different opinions and comments, it seem to be a discussion that can not be answered, tube guys say tubes all the way, ss guys say solid state all the way. Here is my dilemma, I have some great ss gear that I am currently running. I am perfectly happy with the sound. But the music monkey on my back telling me to seek that warm smooth liquid tube sound, and he just wont go away. I currently have two Dynaco MK VI mono block tube amps, but no tube preamp. Like most people I can only acquire what my wallet will allow. That crazy a double s monkey keeps telling me to get a Macintosh mc - 2500. Talking about laying out some bucks. That kind of money scares me to no end, for something that is an experimentation for me. I know I can get a cheaper preamp to start with, but If the sound is as different as tube people are saying, and I wind up liking it. I know me I will then shoot for the Macintosh. Now hear is the real kicker. I have read on the internet and talked to many people that have done and heard double blind test on the subject. and general consensus ( again not my words ) states even the best of us cant tell the difference. Ok Ok Ok , don't start kicking me, I do enough of that to my self. I had a nice Dynaco st 70 and borrowed a mac tube pre amp from a friend of mine. We did our own little test comparing tube to ss. I did this test over a two month period with 12 or so friends at different times, and no one in the group could tell any distinguishable difference as long as they were not told what system they were listening to. However when they were told what system was playing, out of the clear blue sky, each and every one said, yep big difference, they even had me convinced for a time. At that point I listen to a large variety of music by myself on both systems for a period of time and just became more confused. If it was just me listening and reaching that conclusion, then I would not even bring this post to the Klipsch Community. But me my wife and 12 others. What am I missing? I honestly believe all of you tube guys are on to something. I am just at a total loss here. I recently spoke with a man who was very strong with his view on this topic. Wont state his name, however he is highly regarded in the audio world. He has built some of the amps, tubes and solid state that we all listen to today. He said there is no way a person can tell the difference in tube and ss, in the event the two amps are of equal quality. He has preformed his own test with his own amps as well as others. He also stated the words we choose to describe the sound we are listening to, are totally absurd. Warm, Liquid, Smooth, have nothing to do with sound. As long as your equipment is decent or better and you are listening to the music of your choice, you will hear and define the sound in in ways that have nothing to do with sound. Folks, I may just be gooneball, hillbilly, idiot. But I don't think I have lost it yet, and I know my hearing is good. Wait a minute, I think I just heard a fly go by my head, It sounded like it was in two channel. I wonder if two flies going in opposite direction around your head, would sound quadraphonic. All my best to everyone, While a 1966 Deluxe is bound to sound amazing, it will only sound amazing for certain types of music.

You hit the nail on the head. ELP from the beginning. Genius, Genius, Genius, Thats one genius for each, Emerson Lake and Palmer

I understand your reaction to hearing the Belles. I see it all the time when people sit and listen to music on the klipsch top four. Its the music that moves you, and its the equipment that blows you away. I am sure some will chime in with their snide comments. Remember Emerson Lake and Palmer c'est la vie ​I wish everyone the best and hope all find their music Nirvana.
