65" OLED LG... I love it!

OMG, yes they are huge! And although I'm going to say they are overkill for me I must remember there was a time I said that about the Jube's! Do the Jube's need to be in a corner?

LOL, and just when I thought it was the bottom... Excuse my ignorance but what are MWM's? I did a search to no avail...

I PM'ed you Cory... One question though. Is this the bottom of the 'Rabbit Hole'??? Bill

Nope... It's currently enjoying life living on the beach in California...

Doesn't surprise me one bit. I'd better buy all the Klipsch speakers I want now before they make them illegal here. And It wouldn't surprise me if they did... If it wasn't for the fact that all my friends & most of my family live here I'd be gone. And you can't beat the weather. I just filled up my BMW yesterday & the new 'California approved gas nozzle' that all the gas stations are installing must have shut off a hundred times before I got it filled up. Seriously, not dozens of times, but a hundred. As if the 'old' California approved nozzle wasn't bad enough. Un-believable all the things I try to order that they won't ship to California. California's progressive liberal agenda can kiss my a**...

Didn't someone mentioned that the La Scala residential speakers don't have fuses but the commercial ones do? Just cut the wires off of the fuse holders & solder them together... A soldering iron is $10 +/-... If you've never soldered a youtube video will teach you in minutes... just my .02

Not trying to bug you cuz you didn't do it BUT 3/4" plywood on the sides. I can hear the difference while listening to Eminem (Rap)... Or you can put braces on the insides of the bins but I'm not familiar on doing it that way...

LOL... Solid uncomfortable aluminum...

BTE is what I need for my type of hearing loss... Stands for Behind the Ear...

Thank You Oscarsear! I Googled Starkey reviews & there were a lot of bad reviews although they were mostly older reviews. I'm going to go Google the other ones now... Bill

Thank You Mr Music Fan! I'm new to this so I'm not sure what cic or bte is. The doctor said she would normally recommend, as my first choice, either the Widex Beyond (220, 330 or 440) or the Signia Siemens Primax 7. But the Starkey Halo 2 is on sale so she recommended it. Said I could try it for 60 days & if I didn't like it return it. Said it worked really well for some folks. The Widex for the pair $7590 + tax (the 440). She said the Signa (Siemens) was a little bit less & the Starkey Halo 2 was $4938 + tax for the pair (buy one get the second at 1/2 price). She had the chart from the test I took (took it a year ago, she said it'd still be good). It showed a line of dots in a line towards the top & then a line of dots towards the bottom. She said I hear sounds but just can't make out the words. Not sure if this helps you or not. I know nothing about hearing aids except I'm tired of saying "What"... Thank You! Bill ps, Oh, she said her #1 recommendation for me was the Starkey because it was on sale...

Just replying so I can turn on 'Notify Me Of Replies'...

I'm getting tired of saying "What" all the time (plus I'm sure my friends are even more tired of it). Just wondering what brand you have & how it works when listening to music? The doctor's first two recommendations are usually from Widex or Siemens but there's a promotion being offered from Starkey that saves $2700 & she says that Starkey is a close 2nd in quality. Anyone know anything about hearing aids? Thank You! Bill

'32 Ford 3 Window Coupe w/ a 392 Hemi from Big Al's Toy Box. Turbo 400 Trans & 9" Ford rear end... Dyno'ed at 540 rear wheel HP. Although I wasn't really concerned about HP as I went with the '58 Hemi for looks. Could have had 300+ more HP for less money with a big block Chevy that was every bit as streetable as this...

Thank You wvu80 & pelliott321! They are overpriced then. Maybe I will make an offer although I'd rather have the II's. Well, of course, my 1st choice would be the III's but the cost rules those out... I'd like a spreadsheet. How do you send it? My email is billwhoo@reagan.com... Thank You! bill

Long story but I found some Cornwall speakers for sale for $1200. All the girl knows is they were bought in 1979. Is there a chance they could be Cornwall II's? Or did the II's come out after that? Thank You! Bill

My Industrials came with metal trim all around the sides. I see that your's didn't but just wanted to show how I used the metal corners to help with my lack of carpenters experience Lol... You could maybe find these if you needed to.... Bill

This is the paint I used. $10 a quart at Lowe's. Keep in mind though that I know nothing about paint. I got it cuz it was inexpensive & it turned out "good enough for me". Bill

I have La Scala Industrial's. I'm just using the bass bins as I went with different speakers for the mids & highs. The only reason I removed the paint & repainted the bins is I added 3/4"plywood to the sides to stiffen them up to improve the bass (I would highly recommend this as it really improved the bass). The biggest hassle of adding plywood to the sides is you have to remove the existing paint & then repaint. And your doing this anyway. I went to Lowe's and got A1 3/4" plywood $50 +/- a sheet. Sanded the paint off with a Harbor Freight Belt Sander ($30), used Gorilla Construction Adhesive. To help hold the sides on while the glue set I used #8 x 1 1/4" flat phillips wood screws (I used 21 per side), drilled & counter sunk the holes. I did one side at a time & used the tops of the mid/high speaker to hold it down. Wood clamps would have probably been better. At first I tried a Palm sander & after spending an hour or two & getting nowhere I went a got the Belt sander. It removed the paint in minutes. I didn't want to deal with the smell & mess of paint remover. Although you've got tight corners to sand & I didn't. I then painted the bins with a roller.... Bill

OMG, just proved I'm a senior citizen! It flew over my head TWICE! Lol...

OMG Richard, an unbelievable difference! On a 1-10 scale I'd put the Scala's with the 402 horns at a 10... The stock Scala's? A 4 or less... I'm hearing instruments in songs that I didn't even realize were there Lol... Next time I go by the McIntosh dealer I'll see what he played for me. I'm curious cuz they cost many times what I have in mine. And mine sound much better... I know, Danley is a little upset. She's thinks I don't like her because of her weight. After all 285 pounds! But I'm trying to reassure her I judge more on personality than weight... On a more serious note, a guy on the forum who lives locally said he'd help me hook her up. So I need to get ahold of him... And thanks for the tip on hiding her wires but I don't want her to get a complex & think I'm ashamed of her. Last time I told a GF to go change into something that didn't show her legs she left me Lol... Thanks! Bill

Thank You Chris!

Oh, I just saw where you said false corners would be best. Hmm, no WAF around here! And I've got quite a bit of left over 3/4" plywood from where I braced the bins. What dimensions would you make the corners? I'd think the corners could be quite a bit smaller than the ones for the Klipschcorns... Bill

Ok, I'll keep them the same distance. You know I think I'll set a designated stereo listening chair dead center in the room. Then I can put both speakers equal distance from the walls & also have my listening chair equal distance from the speakers. But, I think I might be splitting hairs cuz it already sounds killer. I'm certainly not a speaker expert but I do know that my speakers sound a lot better than the one's that I listened to at two different McIntosh dealers. Both places said "listen to these you won't believe how good they sound". One place said the speakers were $18 G's & the others were somewhere in the $20 G range. Don't remember the exact price, they were to far out of my budget to even matter... Maybe not so much in bass but the mid's & highs in those speaker weren't even close to my Jubescala's... Bill
