  1. My goal is to bring controlled sound. I have a pair of EJ1-X and TL3512 which were pulled from a theatre as well. Which I also do not have an adequate crossover. Not really sure which setup would be best. Based on the specs I have read I have made a choice.
  2. Hello, I picked this pair up from a cinema theatre from a major semiconductor company. I was looking for ideas on what active/passive xover were used with these. I do have access to Klipsch cornwalls, La Scalas, Khorns. The 4648A are 4 ohm 2x 15 "bass bins". The horns are 8 ohms 2451H compression drivers. Recommendations on a good active Xover to use?
  3. Next on the platter is a pair of Jube's! Then I can RIP.
  4. If this is wrong then I don't ever want to be right! 3 pairs of Scala's, Corn III's California style, Corn 4's, Heresy 4's, Forte 3's and a silly R-28PF for kicks. I've definitely got the Klipsch-19 in a strong way. Stay thirsty my friends.
  5. Woke up this morning to find this is the front driveway, special delivery from Hope, Arkansas. Who doesn't need a little Hope is this day and age?. KCIV's and KFIII's, in Black Ash and Ebony, respectively. I will be doing a Heresy IV comparison, even though I know the answer already.
  6. If they would have said glue used by NASA and not Elmer's wood glue it would of comforted me as well. Elsie just doesn't have the marketing power of say NASA namebrand. If the NASA glue can hold up in space there is no doubt that it can hold up to decades of yearly ragers with the LS's at maximum load and movement from inside to out.

  8. Schu, most excellent on the matched pair. PWK is rolling over in his grave seeing twins split up at birth. Maybe someday they will be reunited. One with cig burns on top and the other with potted plant marking; but no matter they will recognize each other and bond.
  9. Nice, glad to hear ying/yang made it. Fyi, I found where #2 pair is located(serial no. 0003 and 0004). They are up in Pennsylvania. Asking price $13,999 for the pair.
  10. We all need to be schooled every once in awhile. Get yourself a pair of LaScalas and let the other noise be drowned out by the audio excellence of Klipsch.
  11. Where I have them placed makes a huge difference. I have a couple pairs of 3/4 inch LSI's and I do hear the low end better on the bigger box. Also it really depends on what style of tunes you are listening to. If you are a techno-rapper. Additional Bass is a must with these animals. Sure I have a couple sunfire BC Subs to give it an extra kick when needed for movies. But the style of music I listen to along with the placement gives me what I need on the low end. If you are looking for a little more on the low end look at some K43 drivers. I roll these out for all my block party's. You could always look into a pair of cornscalas. The CW's have slightly less sensitivity but get that low end you are looking for while the LS"s have a higher sensitivity with a minimal low end of ~50 Hz. Combine the best of both worlds.
  12. Interesting. I checked with a dealer and he has pairs 05 of 70 thru 16 of 70. He has 12 pairs alone. I am not sure of how many Klipsch dealers there are but I suspect there are quite a few . Adorama most likely have(had) 24 through 34 , So they had at least 10 pairs. 70 LaScala pairs of 70th Anniversary's sounds pretty cool. An excellent sales slogan that pulled me in............... I may be in pursuit of the holy grail 69 of 70 . I'm on the hunt.
  13. Hayden Fry once said, "scratch where it itches" Get yourself a pair of La Scalas and let the world(neighborhood) know who's home tonight! fyi, if you live in a gated community even better, gives you a buffer prior to the fuzz knocking on your door for disorderly house and noise ordinance tixs.
  14. Don't be sorry, live life like there is no tomorrow and buy a pair of 70th's.
