    Well, you know where the Crown DC-150A resides now, and I must say I was surprised at just how good the phono stage is in it. Crown was always an overengineering kind of outfit in all regards.

    Have I missed something? Considering the company of the tube people here......

    I owned Crown all the way back to tape. I dumped Crown due to the cold, harsh SS sound. Crown engineering? Big, powerful.... but Snappy, Harsh, Cold...unstable at full power. Very unlike the Mac & Lux SS.

    anyone?

    I did not expect such a full and complete answer to the AC line question. Erik, you always answer with a slam-dunk. Big thanks. This question always surfaces for me when I listen very late at night. The system has that little extra in the wee hours of the AM. I do n't even have a word to discribe it. It just delivers greater pleasure when listening at that early time.

    The item pictured (Jhon Risch power filter) is a kit from DIY Cable. I can't say it changed much but was fun to build. It entered my system a year ago in an attemp to duplicate that little extra, no word to describe it, performance that the early hours delivers.

    Leok, I may have credited you for the caulk rope intervention a thread ago. I try to read everything you write and like Eric, it holds great significance. It was Lynn who's humoresque writing identified the correct surface of the horn to caulk. Thanks you and Leok look like brothers.

    Rob does have a spl meter. Neither of us thought of including it for our audition. We'er so amateurish.

    Reg,

    A/C line? Some thirty years ago, I was informed that " Klipsch speakers only come out at night".

    The 2 way Jubilee was a dream come true for PWK. I'm sure he "studied" on this for many years before it came to be. It should be produced.

    I think you and Steve K were the youngest at the hotel.

    Steve P's wife's name was Beckey. I forgot Rodger's wife's name.

    It was really fun hangin out with you guys in Indy. I'll be back next year if we do this again. I wish we would have had more time to meet the others who were down for the day on Saturday. Most of them came for the tour and left. Next time you guys have to come over for Friday night and Sat night too.

    As for the Jubilee, we did talk about it a bit. Word is, There is a very real chance that it will not go into production.

    For some reason, I had always thought that the "new Klipsch b oys" would cannibalize the Jubilee ($) for the pro theater sales.

    Maybe I am too sentimental, but I considered the design to be Pauls dieing gift to the world.

    If you are not going to produce it, email the auto CAD design specs to us. We will build it ourselves.

    Will 600 WPC be enough for my Cornwalls?

    Big,

    The guys that have responded are more "expert" than I will ever be. I have listened to Khorns, LAs, Mod-H,and CWs since 1970.(not at the same time ha)

    Give it a shot. I don't know how the Dynas will sound. I BTL two Luxman M-117s at 440wpc. The bottom end support is incredible into the four CWs.Flawless mids and highs and a Tube warmth that many SS amps don't have. I switched over two Crown DC300s years ago and they were nasty. Very cold,snappy,and harsh. JMHO considering the company.

    Clu's little tease reminds me of why I like my neighbors so much (aside from the fact that they're quiet)...Our neighbor's girlfriend just moved in with him and his roommate, and she enjoys laying out beside their pool...topless! She isn't very modest, either. My brother came home for lunch the other day and parked the car in our driveway while she was walking towards their backyard to the pool. As he stepped out of his car, she turned around and waved at him and said hello...without her bikini top on! The gals were just hanging there as she waved to him...needless to say, he forgot all about eating.

    leok,

    Thanks for the enlighting comments! I did not think that this post would produce so many feelings/comments.... I just thought the size/price ratio for a pair of speakers was outrageous and silly. When as you so clearly pointed out for the quality and price we (klipsch owerners), have the best of both worlds..........

    ----------------

    I use this example in regard to audio pricing:

    For $25,000 (+/-) one can buy a Mustang.

    For $50,000 one can buy a Vet and expect a huge improvement. To get that much improvement again.....You must spend $250,000.

    At some point,the cost of improvement become much larger than the relitive size of the improvement itself.

    Did I say that right?

    Dean,was that place called Whacked CA.? I think that I was there in 1969 but its difficult to remember. Surfs up.

    C&S has acknowledged "slam". Cool.

    Terry,

    Thanks for the info. I think I get it now. I guess I like "slam" myself sometimes, and I can get it for sure with my home built Altec System.

    C&S,

    I am not an EE, articulate, or eloquent but will give this a shot.

    When I started monitoring this BB long before I considered posting, someone referred to the Cornwall " Slam Factor", and to me, it seemed to be very appropriate description of the sound produced by the Klipsch Cornwall. It stuck with me. I have used 2 cornerhorns,2Las center, and 2 LaS rear in a past system. I have ended up with 4 Cornwalls.(Stacked tweeter to tweeter)

    Well...Maybe I endure a degree of inefficient and distortion for the "Boot in the Chest" (SLAM) delivered from the CW. I would match 4 CWs against 2 Cornerhorns any day. I listen to music of all kinds,as long as it is "dynamic". (well not C&W) The Slam is explosive low bass, forward mids, high highs and IN YOUR FACE.

    I love the puritury of cornerhorns; they are a smooth wave rolling across the floor. But not a boot in the chest.(No Slam Factor)

    The back of the Cornwall is fairly large plane and is prone to deflection. Bracing it lowers the flex and tightens the bass. Very noticable.

    IMO
