Not having TV or Facebook has greatly reduced my exposure to ads but I do get blasted on YouTube. Colorado has two pretty heavy ballot measures with Amendment 112 and Prop 76 which would have some serious ramifications and the oil industry is dumping money in to stop 112. Basically, 112 was written by an extreme environmental group to shut down gas drilling in Colorado by making 2500 ft setbacks for new wells from Housing, irrigation canals, creeks and vulnerable areas. It sounds reasonable at first but its so vaguely written that it would shut down 85% of the new land for drilling in CO. In response, the oil companies put out Amendment 76 which would allow them to sue any local government for loss of property value if they cannot drill due to 112. So if both pass, CO would lose massive tax revenue from drilling and also be sued into oblivion by pissed off multi-national energy corporations.

Its a vague ad but there are some K Horns in Highlands ranch you could look at. He does not list a price but maybe you can say how your are a forum member and a big Klipsch fan etc and he can cut you a deal:

Or you can go big and get these beautiful rosewood ones:

Of course I got that today after ordering about 4 things in the past week.
Lol same here, I just ordered a climate control module for my Subaru a few days ago.

Because our currency is basically debt to a semi-private bank, there is no real economic growth. The Federal Reserve drops interest rates, floods the economy with money and easy debt for the corporations to leverage and float their stock then the bubble bursts and the cycle repeats itself.
The stock market is basically a giant casino where you lose 1-3% of your money every year and you have to gamble just to keep the money you have.

I'm constantly seeing posts from people with issues with their electronics. From sound docs to powered speakers to sub plate amps. Yes, I'm a moderator but I'm still allowed an opinion. I'm not an employee but just a flunkie trying to keep the forum civil. For the record, I am the hugest fan boy of Klipsch passive products. I attend pilgrimages and have owned countless different models. I'm not a fan of any of their self powered products. If they want to take my moderator cape away for expressing my opinion, so be it.
That makes sense, I checked out the link and thats really bad.

I have been using the Fidelify client and a Spotify Premium account for my 2 channel Lascala rig but since about a month ago Fidelify has stopped working. I think its because Spotify made a new update to allow you to play on other devices but I am dead in the water. My DAC is set to AISO driver and I would like to be able to circumvent the windows EQ output. Has anyone else who uses Spotify had these issues? I might have to switch streaming services if this is going to be an ongoing issue.

So why are you in a Klipsch forum bashing their subs
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
From a Moderator nonetheless. I know Klipsch has had issues with some of their powered speakers systems but I have not heard their modern subs spoken of in such low regard.
@CECAA850 Can you provide more explanation on this?
-
There are different opinions here but personally I prefer the K-77M. The CT-120 is smoother but the K-77 has a certain real and lifelike sound to it that I really like. If you are going the full swap with CT-120 tweeter and 4500/A crossover then its a good idea though as the new crossover helps mitigate some resonances in the k400 horn at higher frequencies.

ah, interesting. thanks for a better explanation than "try it because I have a subjective opinion about it". a third tower as my center is definitely unrealistic for my room and setup. i also don't have the perception my center channel is mismatched with my towers at all.
i haven't noticed any of the issues you described, but I don't have a huge seating area for my HT, and don't use this system for music. my MLP is 10' away from the center channel (RP440c), with the center of my mains (RP-250f's) about 10' apart. I use the Audyssey MultEQ XT32 built into my Marantz 7702mkII for my speaker setup.
You have a quality center channel but its always fun to experiment. If you are directly in front of the TV, try turning your center off (Often called a "phantom center") and see how you like it. Your AVR will route the center signal to your mains and the stereo image of your mains will actually put the dialog right on the screen. You may be surprised how natural it sounds. However, this only works if your directly in front of the screen, if you are too far to either side the dialogue will pull to the main speaker you are closer to. That is why centers are more important for larger rooms with off axis seating because it "locks" the voices to the screen.

why do you think that? a center channel for home theater use has very different performance requirements than the mains.
@Incloud I'm certainly no expert, but I found better sound from my RP440c by pulling the front out to the edge of my a/v stand. you could be getting sound reflections off the table surface with it pushed back as you have it. just a thought.
The center channel is designed like it is because most people have a TV and want their center to fit under it easily. There is actually quite a bit of acoustical issues with center channel speakers and lobing effects for those not directly in front of the TV. With 3 identical matching speakers, you get a seamless sound stage but is only realistic if you have a projector and an acoustically transparent screen.

I'd love to see Roy attempt a true bookshelf speaker as PWK might have if he'd decided to do something smaller than Heresy. For me, the all time champion in that class remains the Frazier Monte Carlo. Low cost, high efficiency, and incredible sound. As with his other designs, the MC used what he referred to as "modified Helmholtz radiator" to achieve the efficiency. I think that would be a great challenge for the Oberlautsprecherfuehrer and something the Klipsch line could use.

Wasnt there a prototype LaScala computer speaker on a Klipsch blog post a while back?

wow. whatdoyaknow?!? I've heard that MRSA is some REALLY bad stttt. and something as common as Manuka Honey saved his life! wow. pretty cool
Its pretty cool stuff, here is a research article on it. I guess the Manuka plant has a compound that kills the bacteria cells as they try to divide to reproduce.

Vibrio bacteria can become flesh eating, usually in young, elderly or people with compromised immune system.
Dilution doesn't work. It is based on water temp. Anything above 65. On Atlantic coast the incidence of infection goes WAY down in October.
Flood waters are very bad for Vibrio, the CDC reported a spike in vibrio infections after Katrina.
We have it pretty much all year in the Gulf Coast. Just don't let anyone go in water that has a cut and you will be fine.

Manuka Honey is very good at killing bacteria and I would recommend everyone have a stock. My grandpa had a nasty MRSA infection in his forehead eating away his skull. The doctors tried all sorts of expensive drugs and antibiotics and finally gave up and pretty much told him he was going to die. My wife looked it up and we finally convinced them to apply Manuka Honey topically twice a day. To the doctors surprise, the MRSA was completely wiped out in a week.

Cadillac used to put the starter between the cylinder heads under the intake manifold. Yea, that was a great piece of engineering.
Its like the Northstar engine, they know the LS is superior but it needs to be a 'special' engine for the Cadillac badge...

my check engine light came back on, after I reset it two weeks ago, the code said it was the knock sensor after I looked up the number. I thought premium gas would fix it, but it seems the GM engineers thought it was a better idea to take off the top half of the engine so they put it under the LS intake assemble. I always wanted to put a supercharger on my Silverado... I think that time is near.... Is nearer a word for do gooders lol
They did the same thing on my old Pathfinder, put it under the intake manifold. I just cut the cable, bolted a new knock sensor to the top of the manifold then soldered the connections back. I figured the knock would go through the manifold and trip the sensor anyway and it seems to work.

i have said that i would not touch pauls designs. but having the honor and opportunity to work and develop a friendship with mr k, i also know what he ultimately wanted to do with his babies. and of course, i can wish he was still around to guide me, i mean, look at the original jub. so many things that mr k wanted were in that; but not all of them. that is why i hesitate these days to do anything. i dont want to do anything that he would not approve of. its that simple. i have incorporated what else mr k wanted. and i think (and hope) that mr k would approve of what has been done to his pinnacle product... the klipschorn ak6. i hope you all get a chance to listen to it and can imagine mr k smiling.
Do you know if there will be any certified dealers in Colorado? Im surprised none popped up even in the Denver metro area and I would love to listen to these in a showroom.

I am leaning to "NO" on these. I am tempted and have a good HVLP spray gun to put a nice coat of furniture paint but if the cabs are wrecked I dont really have time for a reconstruct. They are about an hour away too and we are repainting my entire house interior due to previous smokers so I have my hands full to say the least.

A set of HII's just came up on my local craigslist for $125 that are water damaged. Do these things look like they are worth salvaging? My concern is the rusted screws on the driver which may indicate the woofer has water damage as well. It also looks like the cabs warped to the point they are coming apart at the corners.

That system was incredible, so is the one at Temple Denver.
It looks like they have a similar Funktion One system with a different subwoofer configuration. I have always wondered how a Klipsch Cinema Grandeur stack would face off against a Funktion One system. I still think Klipsch dropped the ball on not cornering this market, it seems the British Funktion One is now the default for the kind of clubs and venues that Klipsch used to reside in.

At work myself. Hurts so good sometimes with no sleep.
You gotta love when your body goes into 'survival mode'. Thats dope you spin deep house, do you record any of your sets? I have tech house or deep house playing though my KG 5.5's pretty much all day while I do insurance spreadsheets. I had a buddy in college that was a pretty good local DJ and he would open a lot at Beta nightclub in Denver and would always hook me up with VIP Passes. Those Funktion 1 speakers are something else.

There are some good options at Parts Express as well:

Yeah, and maybe non-oak veneer. Yuck... I'd much rather have black painted cabinets than oak and, if the price were "really good" and they were oak, they'd either get new veneer or a coat of black paint.

Political Advertising ... sick of it?
in Lounge

I have no problem with setbacks from residential and actual vulnerable areas but I do have an issue with poorly written legislation that can be abused down the road. Fracking has its own problems and I dont want wells near houses or schools but having a backdoor ban hidden under the guise of safety is bad politics in my opinion. If we want a ban on wells lets just call it that and have an honest discussion. Prop 112 is advertised in a way that it makes it look like you dont care about neighborhoods if you dont support it despite the bait and switch verbiage. Amendment 74 is the same thing on the other side and its a a way for the corporations to hold Colorado hostage for passing the law.
