  3. Happy I got my 3 Oppo players when I did. Felt even better after I sold one for $3K+.
  4. Here's a great idea you forgot to consider. You space is limited, so why take possession at all? Offer to help your "friend" with pricing and listing. Your "friend" will sell them fast at a fair price and be greatful to you for your help. Thats what "friends" are for. When my "friends" turn to scalping my stuff, I am not so pleased with the "friendship".
  5. What kind of question is this? Who would know better than you what they are worth, to you, better than you, who both bought and and sold, and potentially repurchased the exact same pair a second time around. Why even ask that here in Garage. Post the sale with pics and prices. No bush beaters needed here. We already know what they are worth to us.

  7. Not where he got it, but where you might find one https://www.google.com/search?q=john+boos+maple+top+work+table&source=lmns&tbm=shop&bih=695&biw=1463&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwipwMbA0_fuAhVFfqwKHXKpDr4Q_AUoAXoECAEQAQ
  8. RF3 ii in original boxes. No dings or scratches. Grills are soaking in the bathtub. Took off the ugly shoes. Needed something different for the bedroom and these were the perfect width. Location is photo-op only. My bed is very tall so I'll probably make some torsion box risers and fill them with sand and also buy some spikes.
  9. My post is about applied math, not subwoofer performance. Not sure why you quoted me.
  10. Sorry for your loss. Maybe these will cheer you up. They may be perfect for your short term goals. https://www.klipsch.com/products/the-sixes
  11. Question What is the difference in surface area when comparing dual 12" woofers to a single 15 woofer. circle calculator (A = 2π 6²)/(B = π 7.5²)=X Solve for A = 226 Solve for B = 177 X = 1.28 Answer dual 12" woofers are 28% larger than a singe 15" woofer. For extra credit answer Tell the size of the subwoofer required to equal the surface area of dual 12" woofers. Answer 17" Now it's your turn What size subwoofer is required to equal the surface area of dual 15" woofers?
  12. So is that kind of like how the U.S. airline and automibile companies work too? Or do they just take the government bailout money without the government run part? Asking for a friend.

  14. I know right? Shipping could make or break a deal like this. I would like to trade up to, but good to know what kind of sale I am looking at first.
  15. Yes. Yes. Stay out of HD. Make the drive. I suggest trying Woodcraft. https://www.woodcraft.com/store_locations?address=houston+&button=search
  16. This should answer that question sufficiently http://images.klipsch.com/Brochure_800000_Heritage_635164773475756000.pdf
  17. Howard's Restore a finish is not a finish and it is NOT an option for you. Forget about it. Howard's Feed N' Wax is oil and beeswax and has very little added protection. It will also attract dust and require repeated applications. I found Watco rejuvenating oil to be darkening, it is kind of reddish brown, all be it without the stain added to the rest of their line. Watco rejuvenating oil is not Danish oil because it does not contain varnish. The good thing about oil and wax is you can remove it without abrasives or strippers. The bad thing about Danish oil is that it has varnish which is hardening and sealing which with enough coats can be much more difficult to remove. Another point to be made here is stain will not penetrate a sealed surface.
  18. Oil over oil. What can go wrong? Howard's is a good product, but not for your application. Totally different product and use, unless you have a lacquer finish. You don't.
  19. Best lazy crowd "I don't want to know too much so just give me an answer", answer... buy a can of Watco. I have a 300 page book dedicated to wood finishing. There are 100 answers to your question. Depends on what you want to do. You can't make the wood do anything that isn't already there, but you can, in some cases, make it appear to have changed, or you can sometimes make it disappear. Cherry isn't going to "pop" much. With cherry veneer, you are most likely to do your best with as clear of a finish as possible. Now if decide what you want is more protection, again, 100 more answers to how to accomplish that. Remember that the sole purpose of a wood finish is to protect the wood. Some finishes have the effect of slightly altering the look of the wood. Stain by itself is not a protectant, but it will apply color. Paint is a cover and it will protect. UV damages all finishes and some finishes can include UV protectant. UV protectant is expensive, if you paid just a little for it you got just a little UV additive. Order of protection level for oil finishes are as follows oil/thinner oil/wax oil/thinner/varnish shellac lacquer varnish/oil Differences in oil finishes my be the type of oil used, the type of thinner used, or the type of varnish used within each product. Additives and driers are also a variable. Water finishes have the advantage of drying clearer, non yellowing, drying faster, but do require more coats and will have a slightly less protection level than their oil counterparts. There are a huge list of brands and products to avoid. That is a good thing. It is easier that way to find a product on the shelf that you can settle in with.
  20. Now your getting it! We are not talking about a plug in here. All before mentioned options that existed before were the result of the lack of a true center. We are talking about a true modern designed timbre matched MTM center for the Forte IV and for the Cornwal IV. Really want to crush the competition? Maintain a 3 way design.
  21. Nominated for the comment of the day award. To this I say that, as unfortunate as it may be, adding another new speaker in the line-up which would actually be "better" on some performance levels, while simultaneously stealing sales away from the other existing speakers, is obviously not in the cards at this late stage. Manufacturing a better speaker for some of us is not always better for Klipsch from a net profit standpoint. To the exact point Maximus89 made above, a timber matched and cosmetically designed center channel and subwoofer would only add to sales without cannibalizing the existing Klipsch Heritage lines. I think it is well past due that Klipsch take their extremely financially safe and passive approach to preserving the Heritage lines as 2 channel specialist and expand to 3.1. at a minimum. At least this one time. I really feel they owe us this one. 20,000 units each to start. What say you "keepers of the sound"?
  22. OMG. I can't believe I missed this. So sad. RIP BEC. Bob has helped me on an unquantifiable level, directly or indirectly, more than almost anyone else on this website. I wish his family well and hope they choose to continue his legacy, but we certainly all have lost a truly irreplaceable man.
