    I'm sitting here watching a pair of CW that were posted about 1.5 hours away.  Started at $1.25 then jumped to $325 the next day.  Yea, why am I even thinking about it?  5 different pair sittin here now for 3 systems counting the garage system.  15% hammer charge, 3.0 hour drive and fuel?  Just say NO! applies here BUT they ARE Cornwalls right?   hahahaha  Just say NO but I prolly will anyway just for giggles.   😂

     

    I feel you.  Even if I had won them at $600, one third on top of that gets me near a grand on a pair of speakers I couldn't test.

  2. I scored a minty pair of 1977 laser tagged HWO "Heresy E" (Export) just over a year ago.  $380 in Tampa.   My wife is a musician, and makes comments all the time how good those sound as our bedroom system.

    I now have the CF-3s alongside my AV stack and the CF-4s out about 3ft further to each side and towed in about 30 degrees. I would have never thought it to have this much impact, but swapping CF-4 and CF-3 positioning not just sounds, but FEELS like it has significantly increased my output.   Seemingly, instead of the CF-4s cancelling out the CF-3s, they are encapsulating everything (center included) into an outright abusive sound stage.  I can't even hear my 15" sub anymore.

     

    I love it.  LOVE it.  

     

    So you tried something similar to what was suggesting at first.  Good, I'm glad you love it!

     

    Now you can put the smaller units side and back, and have an incredible surround experience.  Just until you find some more 3's.  *<;o)

    Hey guys! 

     

    As far as my front staging with these 4 cabinets goes, would it be better to have the CF3s closer to center with the CF4s out wider, toed in, or the other way around?  My room is approx 25x25ft, and 20 ft  from front stage to my seated listening position.

     

    Here are my thoughts on it.  The 4's handle more power, and therefore push more SPL.  They should towards the outside, toed inward.

     

    The 3's (on the other hand) will handle nearly the same amount of power, and should mate well together, joined together as your 'single' center channel.

     

    This type of setup will melt you.  If you can find another single 3, use that as your center, the 4's on the front L/R, and your pair of 3's as either your sides or back L/R units.  This should be a lot of fun to play around with.

     

    I'm doing something kinda similar with some Klipsch Pro speakers in my office, and setting the surround system to use all speakers to play their side of the stereo mix.  This builds an audio soundstage in my 10' x 12' office where I am in the middle of the stage, amongst the band members.  Ann Wilson is slightly to my left, and Nancy to the right.  It's like I'm there.  One of the most interesting and amazing sound setups I've ever built.  Each of these pro speakers are no more than 2-3 feet from my head.  It's a 7.1 NEARFIELD setup, and I could not be happier (although the neighbors can hear it an acre away with my windows closed, when I get upwards of 70% power!).

     

    Tinnitus be damned, I am going to enjoy this until I become deaf.

  5. I have an idea that I wanted to pass on for the new Jubes.  I was looking at the pictures where Roy took off the magnetic grilles, and they were stood leaning against a wall.  That's what gave me a thought...

     

    Why not put pairs of magnets on each of the back sides, where you could hang your grilles safely out of sight (and danger) when not in use?  I'm sure the owners would appreciate that detail.

    Hello All,

     

    I've noticed in the past couple of weeks that, when I connect my Klipsch R-41 Speaker pair to my iMac through the USB connection, the audio that plays through the speakers seems to contain sparse intermittent pops and glitches. Most of the time it's subtle, but other times you can hear it quite clearly. This does not happen when I connect through Bluetooth, only USB. I've tried using a different cable, but I still hear the pops and glitches.

     

    Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

     

    That's a good question.

     

    Got any others?

     

    Seriously though, the USB might not be getting enough bandwidth to keep a clean signal going.  Especially if your iMac is an older machine.  It would be better to use an optical cable (first choice), or a 3.5mm to RCA splitter cable (second choice).  USB bandwidth is iffy for a continuous, perfect signal.  Too many "unknowns" about your machine, hardware level, OS and patching revisions, etc.
