LOL .... Depends on the room and how many speakers you load it up with !
My first HT room had 4 K-horns ( Ft mains & Rears ) , a Belle as the center , a KLF-C7 as the rear center and a pair of Lascalas taking up the sides , plus 2 klipsch powered subs
Pack all that into a 14x20 room and you've got SPL that will raise the hair on your head , powered by Three Rotel RB - 1090 & a RB-993 and look out
My SPL meter was showing 130db plus in the center of the room ... the biggest thing was isolation of components , Black Diamond " Racing cones " and Black Diamond "Those things " under just about every component plus mission isoplats just to keep everything from vibrating into oblivion .
PS : Add in about 15k worth of room treatments as well , or the horns will kill your ears .

these cabinets have had a layer of stain probably light walnut wiped on prior to the oil or the stain may have been mixed into the oil, definitely not raw birch. They look to be in very good condition. I hope that you enjoy them.
I'm guessing the cow dung in Calgary clouds the comprehension of the english language ... for the rest of us " finished " means the top coat , or the protective layer ... the last thing applied.

hi, i also have a birch pair of la scalas and would like to protect them. here in england i have no idea what tung oil is, does anyone know an equivalent oil i can use?
Tung has been around for a looooooong time ... These just have one coat , I wanted to put something on the bare wood so it wouldn't dry out , but also something I could get back off if I wanted to , I live in northern alberta where its pretty cold and very dry in the winter months .. i've actually got a pair of black k-horns that have some grain splitting on the top hat sections due to just that .
Oil is simple and easy for the DIY crowd or those with limited access to proper equipment .... I worked for 30 years as an autobody refinisher at a GM dealership where I had unlimited access to a $150k Alpo Rotocab down draft paint chamber , on weekends and evenings I use to spray lacquer for a local cabinet shop , I'm sure I've done 1000 or more complete kitchens , in return I got unlimited access to a million dollars in wood working equipment .
If you look at my other thread with the Belle for sale , there's a pic on that thread of a pair of my birch k-horns spray stained with an alcohol stain and then one coat of lacquer sealer and one coat of 30% autolaq which is a pre-catalyzed lacquer .. not a spec of dust , dirt of lint in the finish , that's the bonus of access to a proper spray booth .

That was a JFLessard preamp?
Yes it was the first one ... this is actually the picture he sent me when he was burning it in .
Mine has a volume pot , the second one he built had a step attenuator I do believe ...he did that one for chris if memory serves
Down in the garage sale section I've got some brand new magnaquest iron 4sale and 2 walnut amp chassis to match this one , was going to build JFL 300B SET but never got around to getting at it ... life gets busy ...

Fini is on facebook more than anything (I hear), Moon also I think, Trey is just usually busy, still works with klipsch in Indy. But you're right many have moved on or just busy, stuff changes sometimes.
Ahhh .... the good old days ! man there were some nasty battles on this forum back in the day , loads of drama ..lol
were you around when moon set off a fire storm on the AVS forum , then their members came over here to battle back ??
We had a secret sub forum section to piss on each other that was a invite only , hidden from sight of normal forum members ... funny as hell
-
25 years ago we had quite the small klipsch forum family going here ....

Sign of the times ...... I threw away cases of these exact tubes 25 years ago , couldn't even give one away !
I bought a surplus lot of NOS tubes in 1992 for $200 that consisted of over 3800 tubes ( an entire skid of tubes )
Wishing I would have held onto some of that stuff now ...

Nice speaker @boxerjake and single Belles are hard to find and to find a nice Klipsch speaker in Canada is even more rare.
Can you post a price?
