So sad. Always read the stories come up about her. People magazine very recently published an article about her, just 4 days before her passing. There will be a special 100th birthday movie, now retitled to a celebration, coming to select theaters this year. Her third, last, and true love husband is buried in a Mineral Point, Wisconsin Cemetery about 85 miles away from me. Maybe her final resting place?

Your problem is your square room, not your speaker placement. Concentrate on adding acoustic room treatments to your space. While you are working on that, I provided you a link that you can use. Just toss in your room dimensions, and place your seats and speakers accordingly to reduce the quadratic cancellations you are experiencing. https://realtraps.com/modecalc.htm

5 new seats for my theater. Fast delivery, ordered on Christmas Day. Black leather sofa replaces a red leather console loveseat. The settee came from an antique store. It's already restored, but I will reupholster it later anyway.

Thanks. I replied to your inquiry in PM.

They are not sold. All messages have been replied to.

Yes. Once or twice each year, apply boiled linseed oil and turpentine mixed 50/50. Wipe dry after 5-10 minutes. Hang your rags to dry before you toss. Most store bought finishes contain 30%-50% varnish, which was never a component of the original oil finish.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Be sure to update this thread when you get back from GR R. Tell them there are at least 6 more modified Chorus II crossovers waiting for him to build when he is done measuring, designing, and building yours.

Posting your location would be great. Klipsch Forum members are spread all over, so you are likely to get a local bite here. If you decide to share your location, probably best to use the edit and drop it in your initial post.

WOW! That's great @fini. I don't hear that everyday. Congrats. I really hope this holiday season sees you, as well as you see it. It took me so long to successfully quit that I don't actually have a date I can go back to. Sometime in 2006...not a drop since. So lets see, I started drinking at age 15 and from that point on, was pretty much intoxicated everyday for 18 years. Living in the fast lane is what I thought then, but now that I'm sober, I realize that I'm trying to catch up to the world that passed me by.

OMG Travis, why? ok... Country drinkin was diiferent than city drinking. Like bar-hopping on the lakes by boat or sno-mobile. Harley-Davidson poker runs, Cornfields and bon fires. Back then Milwaukee still had family owned bars on 3 out of 4 corners in residential neighborhoods. Some of them owned by my family or friends. The yellow pages had 12 pages of listings. I personally visited at least 250 bars and clubs for sure. We had house parties 1-2 a week. 40-500 attended depending on location, and there were many to choose from on Saturdays, and what part of the city you wanted to hang out in. Sometimes strangers would just show up to crash. Fights happen. Neighbors seemed to like it though because we scared all the crime away. Just 7 people on the weekdays could finish a quarter barrel (3 1/2 cases) in 2 hours playing cards, which was like everyday pre-21. Usually on tap for us...

What...? There was a rainout the day it was originally supposed to happen, so no roast that day. Farmer wouldn't take it back. Had to keep it fresh, so the basement became a barn for a while. Thinking back, I remember a lot of people weren't grabbing a plate, 😖 but with 500 attending it did get gone. Not our finest moments.

We used to have B.O.S. parties. Bring Your Own Speakers. Wall of Sound type stuff. Don't recommend doing stupid stuff like that anymore, but it was loud, and that was all that mattered when you had 500 drunk fools, 17 half-barrels, and a pig on a spit that had been previously living in the basement for a month before the big event. Amazing what $5 at the door could get you into back then. 🕺 🔊 🐷🍻💃

Agreed that flexible high strand cables need replacement more often than wire coat hangers. Another check for 12ga. (durability). If you look at the spec sheet pdf's I posted here earlier you'll see that those 2 conductor cables are individually insulated and fully encased in a round rubber sheathing. Again (durability) Walk into any hardware store. Pretty much everything they have comes in different sizes, colors, shapes, etc. There's a good reason. Applications vary greatly. I may have 2000 3" course drywall screws next to me, but if I'm hanging drywall on sreel studs I need to go get 1 1/4" self taping drywalll screws. Use whatever the application calls for. In a perfect world OP would have 12ga 50' speakon cables, Pro-Scalla's, Crown amps, dollies, lights, and a vinyl wrapped travel trailer. We are all responsible for helping him on the right footing. Will a extra few dollars well spent ruin the guy? No one is saying he should buy Kimber.

Exactly. OP stated this for DJ purposes. Easy in, easy out. No need to have everyone tripping over an un-wielding stiff cable that takes hours to straighten out. High strand count is very important for this application. Rolls up tight when your finished, stores well, rolls out flat. I wish everyone would pay attention and temper their 30 year old blanket responses to apply relevant information to the questions that are presented on this forum. Whatever speaker wire you have used in your basement system since your were 20 years (40 years ago) has nothing to do with this thread.

Don't tell that to the Cephalopod Molluscs and Decapod Crustaceans https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/lobsters-crabs-and-octopuses-will-be-recognized-as-sentient-beings-in-the-uk-warranting-welfare-protections-180979113/ Oh, and they can 'hear' too.

High stand count 12awg. I would be looking for something with 500 strands or better https://mogamicable.com/category/bulk/speaker_cable/conventional_configuration/ https://www.mouser.com/catalog/645/usd/1284.pdf
