  1. Congratulations Bob, Are you changing his caps . . . I mean diapers?
  2. Today, I feel my biggest music mistake was not going to see Dave Brubeck at the free Detroit International Jazz Festival recently. RIP Mr. Brubeck.
  3. Sad news. I turned down an opportunity the hear him play, free, a year ago.
  4. Andy is correct. Sign out and then view one of your posts, the "Edit Tags" will not be visible.
  5. A very exciting game. Georgia should have spiked the ball after the 1st down. They'd have had 2 shots at the end zone. Poor clock management on the part of Murray, but even more so, on the part of Richt. ND will have it's work cut out for it.
  6. Sort of . . . . As has been previously noted, it's difficult to confirm the tweeters and squawker horns. It's impossible to know what the woofers are. IMO, they aren't worth $2,600, and might not be worth even $200 --but that's unlikely. Keep us posted please.
  7. Don, You have a lot of condifence in either Alabama or Georgia beating Notre Dame. Why so? Perhaps it's because they've played better opponents. Purdue 20-17, Pitt 29-26 (3OT)? ND might be for real, but they've yet to prove it.
  8. Avoid the holiday rush. Use the CWV to ship your pristine Cornwalls without damage.
  9. In the 70s a female friend "thanked" me for installing speakers in her 280Z, while playing the Stones through her Lafayette system. I was a bit preoccupied and don't recall the nuances of the sound.
  10. " . . . I gave my buddy the AR turntable with the Shure VIII . . ." Did you find that at a Purple Heart thrift store? I hope my AR fell into the hands of someone who appreciated it.
  11. I hear ya' . . . barely. Too much really LOUD music from 4 Speakerlab SKhorns driven by 600 watts of Dynaco SS power used in mid-70s DJ biz didn't help my high frequency hearing. The calendar doesn't help either.
  12. In a weak moment (many years ago) I let SWMBO persuade me to donate my AR XB table, to which I'd fitted an SME 3009 Series ii arm with Shure V-15III, to Purple Heart. What a huge mistake! Beat that. It's especially distressing now that my 30 y.o. son is considering acquiring a vinyl collection, and also seeing what I could get for the rig on eBay. The eBay/donater's remorse is actually irrelevant since I'd give it to my son or keep it before I'd sell it. In reality, a simpler Technics direct drive turntable would be better for a vinyl newbie, so I'd keep the AR/SME unit if I hadn't been such an idiot.
  13. Welcome to the forum. My recommendation is to enjoy them as they are for a minimum of 6 months before even considering modifications. While you're listening to them, use the search function of this forum to expose yourself to what others consider to be "upgrades" to Klipschorns. IMHO, the first "modifications" to consider might be to the room, rather than the speakers. Make certain the Khorns fit tightly in good corners. Try them along the longer wall. Experiment with seating position. After you have them sounding as good as they can in your space, then you might consider replacing the capacitors in the balancing networks. If you do, you'll be starting down a slippery slope. How fast and how far you go down that slope is up to you. Use the search function to find more threads with more suggestions than you'll ever have time or money to implement. Good luck.
  14. No only two. I see a problem already. Four new drivers from Parts Express makes more sense for 2 channel.
  15. This forum's "Picky" (aka Glenn) has used H3s in his Michigan garage for several years. The temperature and humidity swings rival Charleston,SC.
  16. I have a pair of KEF B139 woofers, each in a wool damped transmission line enclosure. They've provided the bass to augment a pair of BBC LS3/5As for more than 3 decades. I'm curious about the possibility of using the B139s in a single push pull slot loaded (PPSL) sub-woofer to combine with horns above approximately 300hz. Any thoughts, pro or con, are welcomed.
  17. +1 [Y] Our Kenmore front loader is quiet and efficient. It uses less water and spins the clothes nearly dry to cut down on dryer time. We save on detergent, water, electricity & natural gas. We do leave the door open when not in use to avoid MUSTY smell.
  18. "This forum is to blame. It's very outdated. Sorry about the hassle... Safari is the same." Thanks Amy. The less than p greater than p solution isn't the worst, just inconvenient. FYI to everyone. A computer expert, whose opinion I respect, STRONGLY discourages the use of IE for banking, credit card purchases, etc. He feels security issues with IE make it too risky. He suggested Chrome or Firefox.
