Hey Dave what does the Klipsch Heresy H-WO stand for? Walnut, birch, oak?
-
Ya it looks like a great deal for the set, would make a great second set of speakers for me or maybe try out a center channel with my scott 299. I never run across many deals I am always too late. I bet the guy emails me back and says they are done sold. I always check out Craigs list 2 too 3 times a day and never landed anything yet, must be more Klipsch fans in St Louis than I thought.

I just emailed the guy waiting for a reply, maybe I can get them.

Whats wrong with those k-horns I think they look very nice. Whoever did the staining on them did a dang good job at least thats what the pictures tell me. One of the best looking birch set of k-horns I seen. I myself have a set of birch k-horns that I bought new and stained in a minwax special walnut. Thats about the only thing I can remember about how me and my mom finished them, I bought them new in 84 in raw birch, I wish now maybe I would have went with oak or walnut but heck back then being 23 years old money was tight and I really didnt care that much about the grain of wood and such cosmetic things, I was only interested in the sound. Actually I think my birch k-horns look perty nice, I will take a picture of my k-horns and post them getting dark right now and not a good picture taking time.

Yep nothing like a set of k-horns enjoy them. Welcome aboard the forum you will love this place lots of info here.
-
Wow very nice work, you did well. Man that is one huge amp on the floor, what brand is it?
-
How much for the heresys? And you have 25 more pairs of speakers, wow, more info on all those speakers please.
-
Wow, great job you should be very proud of the job you done.

Years ago I heard a set of klipsch forte speakers up at Flips audio store, I was really impressed with them, the bass was really nice. I think the forte in the used heritage line of speakers is the best bang for the buck as far as priceing has been lately. Usually you can pick the forte speakers up for around the same price as the heresys, and if you like bass the forte will just kill the heresy in the that department. Dont get me wrong the heresy is a great set of speakers but if I was looking for a set of speakers in that $400 to $700 range I would take the forte.

I was wondering what ever happed to that Scott 299d tube amp, I thought that the young lad (Shoemaker) was going too keep it, evidently not so, anyway it looks like a happy birthday too the Old Buckster. Dave if you still have the cabinet that I donated for the amp you can give it too Old Buckster also. Looks like its time for the amp too find a good home and the Old Buckster will give it one, how cool.

Somebody got a set of Klipsch speakers in ST LOUIS off of Craigs list for 40 dollars the other day. He had a picturs of them but I couldnt tell what model they were. I think he said the dementions were 28x16x12. Either way he sold them right off the bat according too the email he sent back too me. Everytime I try and get a deal somebody always gets there first. How is Chicago Dave?

Wow joshnich, that sure is nice of you to provide a nice vintage Marantz receiver too another foum member hats off too you. Sure wish I knew what was wrong with the pioneer I would try and fix it. Im not a teck but I once fixed a sansui 9090db for a friend with a couple of resistors, but I new that was a known problem with the sansui 9090db. I think I read somewere that some of those pioneer receivers had some solder joints that went bad overtime and needed resoldering, now that would be an easy fix if a guy just knew where too find the bad solder joints.

33klfan, I usually run my scott 299a with the loudness switch off. I have the bass control turned up a bit and the treble control turned down a tad bit, I like the sound best this way when listening too cds. When I use my turntable I set the bass just a tad bit up and the treble control set at the flat position. Now here is what I like about my cd player, it is an older model Shure Ultra D-6000 that has a variable output that is controled by a remote. I usually set my scott 299a volume control at 5 (the midway piont) and then use the cd players remote to turn the music up and down, works great. Now if I get in the mood too use the loudness control on the scott 299a I turn back the volume too about 4 on the scott and then use the remote on the shure cd player to turn the volume up too a level I want. I just like the handyness of that cd remote, no more getting up from my chair to adjust the volume on the scott, Its as handy as a tv remote.

Craig I just sent you an email, two people emailed me in the last couple of days that might want a cabinet. One for a 233 and another for a 340a, I need too know what brand of output tubes are in these these amps, I need too know if they have those taller aftermarket 7591 electro harmonic tubes in them or the factory tubes or the JJ Telsa 7591 output tubes in them. I sent you an email tell me if you got it. And yes I do get emails from people that you have refured too me, thanks a million, when I sell a cabinet on ebay I always tell them if thier scott ever needs work too look you up. The last 6 months or so have just been so buisy I hardly have time too build cabinets, I have three kids that play sports all the time and I work shiftwork as a miner and have been putting in an extra shift a week on average down in the mines. Heck I bet its been 6 months since I put a cabinet on ebay, evertime I get a cabinet built it seems like someone emails me and takes it off my hands. I have two cabinets ready too go a walnut one and an oak one for a scott 299 series tube amp. Hopefully the guy with the 233 will take one of these, as long as his scott 233 doesnt have those dang taller Electro Harmonic 7591 tubes in it, if it has those bigger 7591 tubes in it then I will have too build a metel grated cabinet for him so it will clear those taller tubes. Craig it seems like lately a lot of the amps you have rebuilt you have been using the JJ Telsa 7591 output tubes, do you like them better then the Electo Harmonic 7591 tubes, I hope so it makes it easier on cabinet making. LOL. Check your email......

Dang you guys are making me hungry, A lot of people around here deep fry turkeys all the time, you can buy special turkey fryers too cook the bird in. A lot of people around here are turkey hunters and wild turkey is a lot dryer meat when baked that of a store bought turkey, so they deep fry it and the meat stays more moist. I have eaten a lot of baked wild turkey and believe me pass the bowl of gravey it needs it. Only ate the fried turkey a couple of times but man it was done right and it was real good.

I refoamed a set of realistic Mach One speakers for a friend of mine almost 2 years ago and they turned out very nice. I shot a bunch of pictures of the project while I was doing it and it might be some help too you, it was actually my fist refoaming project. Do a search in the Update And Modification Forum. Type in (Refoaming a set of mach one woofers) this should bring you too the thread.

Mas wrote: Dust during playing is the LEAST of the potential worries. Think about it...I can see that rational during extended periods of unuse, but really, how dirty is your house? Perhaps if you were in Oklahoma during the 30's with the dust storms... And if enough dust settles in a 20 minute period of use, I can only imagine what you are digging out from after you wake each morning! Pardon me if I decline a cup of coffee. And to think that I made my money as a kid shovelling snow outdoors (when we actually used shovels!
Wolk up this morning got out my home depo shovel in the bedroom closet and went too work shoveling and digging through all the dust and dirt in my home too get too that dang B&O Turntable and Scott 299 amplifier and k-horns in the basement. Yes I got too find out if my turntable sounds better with that dust cover up or down. Good thing I have always kept that dust cover down before, no problem at all finding a clean album. So I put the record on the turntable ( MEATLOAF BAT OUT OF HELL) left the dust cover open and turned the scott 299 up too half way and let here rip. Clouds of dust flew out of the midrange of the k-horn (happends every dang time at start up in this house) and that same old scott and k-horn sound filled the room. But wait a minute, what am I hearing here, sound so clean like never before, the midrange is awsome, the bass which never hardly exsisted on the meatloaf alblum is pounding me in the chest. Man I been using my turntable wrong all these years and that really pisses me off, got me a screwdriver, dang wrong screwdriver need a philips one and a metric at that, took that dang dust cover off and threw it away, dont need that plastic horrible sounding thing that causes resonance on my turntable anymore. Took my meatloaf alblum off my turntable gave it a good shake with my hand only a small puff of dust came off of it, not near as bad as the cloud of dust the k-horns put out at start up, I think I can live with this.
This is great, wife read this thread and now thinks our house is dusty, she spent most of her saturday cleaning house. She even dusted all the stereo equipment off and gave the k-horns there yearly boiled lendseed oil treatment, I am one happy man.

I thought the main reason a turntable came with a dust cover was to keep dust off the record while playing it. I have a Bang & olufsen beogram 1800 and I always leave the dust cover down while playing a record, I here no noise or feedback at all. I happend to find the owners maual of my turntable and it says, Hold the record by the rim when placing it on the turntable and close the Beograms dust cover. I think if a person has noise or feedback with thier turntable dust cover down it seems like the whole turntable needs too be isolated better.

No doubt about it the Mach one was flat out the best speaker radio shack ever made. Owned a set for years tell I got a set of lascalas. The Mach ones have great bass and can put out a lot of spls. If anyone can pick up a set of these Mach ones get em.
-
I have a scott 299a and have a B@O 2000 turntable hooked too it. Sounds really good for a 200 dollar turntable. Some day I might get the upgrade bug and maybe get me a music hall turntable. Your scott will sound nice with a turntable you will be in for a treat.

I picked up a Chase technologies RLC-1 remote volume control but it doesnt have the owners manual. Does anyone have a manual and could make a copy of it for me or have any idea where I could get one. Thanks
