  1. Haha ... have to expand on this ... the "Damrak" is one of the main streets in Amsterdam, Holland. The Dutch usually eat "Pommes Frites," or "Frietjes" with mayonnaise or peanut sauce. Oldtimer's concoctions would be great with the peanut sauce. Getting hungry; may have to make some Cheers, Emile
  2. No; straight forward ... they are in a seperate box I build for them ... more than 5 ft high ... wide side of the horn (of course) is up/down; dispersion is "very wide" so don't think angling is necessary. Cheers, Emile
  3. Add-on ... Just checked ... "new" crossovers are $245/set ... kit is only $56 Have fun!
  4. Go with the Ti diaphragm fist ... (usually) much more impact (unless your xo's are "really" bad). Install procedure is on Bob Crites' website. Did mine and it was night & day. VERY EASY Takes about 5 minutes each. If you are short on cash, Bob also has kits to replace the capacitors on the xo's ... they're pretty cheap compared to buying "new" crossovers from him Also pretty easy ... just have to know (or learn) how to solder. Add-on ... instructions for the diaphragms ... https://critesspeakers.com/replacing_the_diaphragm_on_.html
  5. Darn, thought I had seen one locally for you ... cannot find it anymore ... will keep searching But ... did find an Academy center in Palm Harbor ... https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/ele/d/klipsch-center-channel-speaker/6709144758.html ... $175. No clue if it's even close to a C7.
  6. OK; let me try this again .. instead of getting Terra-bites of music, most of which you probably do not care for, I suggested you gave us a listing of music you "want." Many of us would be happy to send you files of "songs" or "artists" that can easily be emailed. Cheers, Emile
  7. Awesome response from members Think this is really nice "Only" have about 2GB of 70/80's music but very willing to share it. Not enough to mail me a drive but if you want to "expand" the music you are looking for and give us your address I am sure many of us will email you some files. Cheers, Emile
  8. How about some platinum wire ... only $18,000 per set ... https://soundapproach.com/wireworld-platinum-eclipse-8-pes-standard-speaker-cable-pair.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0ZLh2fu13gIVG7bACh0LMwdvEAQYAiABEgLlSfD_BwE Just kidding You can get a good 50' roll of speaker wire at many places for $20. But ... make sure it is ALL COPPER and OXYGEN FREE.
  9. OK; for the first time in 30 years I was a "party-pooper." House next door is being fumigated (tented for termites). House on the other side is for sale ... across the street, house is only used a couple of months per year; empty now ... wife is out of town ... etc. Turned the lights out and stayed in the bedroom But ... did not think about not being able to crank up my Klipsch speakers ... darn. We usually get about 200 kids ... they come by bus from the "lesser" side of town OK; I will make up for it next year Cheers, Emile
  10. @Martin O'Neill ... Good deal on the Heresy's If you still want some Chorus II's (haha; later) ... you may want to consider Pro KP-362's ... 95% sure these are similar (OK; better)
  11. Got some "Red Manace" and "Yellow Peril" a couple of months ago. Awesome! Thanks @oldtimer Haha ... and thanks @jimjimbo for growing some of these peppers
  12. For what it's worth ... Have my 510 horns rotated 90 degrees and cannot tell the difference. But, would like to hear some opinions on the "turned" 402 also since this is the only way I can make them fit in my setup

    Haha Just to bring @-js- up to speed on our discussion since he seems "ready to buy" I had several discussions with PartsExpress when I was looking at the 15" subwoofer kits. Was told the "HO - high output" speaker was suited better for automotive applications whereas the "HF - high fidelity" speaker was better for home use. But of course this was just from a guy there "selling" the stuff But; great info ... much detail ... and much better than my "got one, sounds great." Cheers, Emile

    Haha ... just saw you have "sidelined" Heresy's. Try one as a center before spending big bucks on a "horizontal" one Think it might pair pretty good with your Cornwall's. (Had Cornwall's L/R, but only tried them with "horizontal" centers. Replaced them with KPT-904's (on a seperate amp), moved the CW's to the rear and added L/R/C Heresy's on my AVR.) Haha ... lot's of stuff to try Have fun, Emile

    Re center channel speakers ... Before you get a center speaker, I suggest you read the article https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=89614 I tried 4 different Klipsch center speakers ... and was never really satisfied - except that they "looked nice." Then, tried a Yamaha 12" stage monitor and the difference was unbelievable. OK; was a "rat fur" box (WAF=0.0) so replaced it a couple of weeks later with a Heresy, similar to my L/R speakers on my AVR. Now I am one of those "opinionated people" with left=right=center speaker Cheers, Emile

    Got you Thought you meant passive WITHOUT an amp ... just running it from the "source amp." ... which I think will not have enough power You can always "saw a hole" in the box and put in a plate amp. But, it's a lot easier just to buy an external sub-amp. Most of these have 2 outputs in case you want to add a 2nd sub Got my 1000W Dayton SA1000 off Fleabay for a little over $200 BTW, seems "seperate" amps last longer than "build-in" amps.

    Hi js, Got one of these kits about 6 months ago (actually with the HF speaker as the Ultimax was "out of stock" ... note; do NOT get the "HO" speaker). Fit was excellent; pretty easy to put together. Veneered mine and put feet on it to make it a downward firing sub. Looks awesome Using a DaytonAudio SA1000 to power it. Sound is excellent, probably as good as many $1000+ "already build" units. Passive use??? Never tried it with "just my AVR." These woofers are really, really heavy and think you need some good power (at least 200W ???) to drive it Sure someone with more sub experience will chime in. Cheers, Emile
  21. Haha ... what fireplace? FYI, have Forte I's in my stereo room and have not felt the urge to upgrade them (except for Ti diaphragms) to series III's. Now, if I can find another pair of KPT-904's or Jubes, I will change my mind Cheers, Emile
  22. OK; so what is the price??? Just downsize them to below 2MB
  23. Bien, va les chercher! Bon Appetit, Emile
  24. Don't do coffee ... more like this
