This is true if you buy a mid or lower grade machine. Performance will drop off as software installation and updates start building a lot of bloat. I used to buy $599 computers, too, but the last few times, I went with the latest high performance CPU, plenty of RAM and an SSD. I get years out of them.
Intel i-7's have been out a good, long time, and they are still fast in relation to almost everything else.
I am sometimes tempted to get an i-9, but I can wait. IMO, $1,200 buys a really good computer. Avid gamers will want much more.
Wise words.
My goal with this machine was to "spec out" with an eye towards lasting a decade or more. I doubt that ten years from now I will still feel the need to play the latest and greatest, and to be honest this machine should be good for the rest of my life (at my age and level of health). Future income can go towards picking up those Klipsch pieces that I definitely want to experience.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me during this process in trying to locate these amazing speakers! My first Klipschorns 👍🏻
Pics or it didn't happen!

Dang, @teaman!
That's a nice pair of splits. I wish now I hadn't just dropped the money on the new PC rig.

Very nice! Any idea where to find that exact grill cloth? (is it Klipsch?)
It is an original grille cloth sold by Klipsch. You normally see it on Heresy 2 Special Edition models, but you can also find it on the regular production pieces including all of the Heritage line from that time, but it is becoming fairly rare these days.
The cane is what makes this pair more desirable for some folks (most, I would say...) over the normal black. That is why this particular pair would be in line as far as pricing goes.

I will stick to a Amazon fire tablet..
I have Chase tech before... no thanks... by the time you buy it..
it becomes ...it's To late this model is out of date...
I agree, and it all comes down to what you want to do. Code developer, game developer or user? You might need a machine at this level. I am a code and automation developer for some of the largest companies globally.
If all you do is browse the web and watch videos, a tablet is perfect. We have both, and use both daily.

Very cool. Thanks for explaining all that.
You're quite welcome. I was doing this for my own enjoyment and information, so I thought I would share it with the world.
If you are in the market, I would buy a new PC soon. The supply chain is breaking down, and costs are going up. The base machine I purchased 3 weeks ago was $2,600.
In those 3 weeks, the same machine has gone up to $3,300. Ouch.

You don't. But if you pick a website hosting service and build your own VPN like I did in my post, you are reasonably certain that everything is okay.
It is mildly complicated, but if you follow the guide step by step it will work just fine.
As for network security, yes it does form another layer of protection for your private network. Due to the fact that you are only using the VPN connection, it makes it darned near impossible for someone to crack your network because all of your communication only happens on the VPN outlet. They would have to break into that machine, and then into your router from there. Could it be done? Possibly, if you had a team of the best spend a LONG time.
Other targets are much easier, and attackers will move on.
One more piece of advice. On your wireless router, turn on Access Control. This makes it impossible for new devices to be connected to your wireless network, until you add their hardware address to your router configuration. The information that you must obtain is called the MAC address, which is part of the properties of every network device. Every single network card in existence needs to have a unique identifying address for the card to obtain an IP address. If you have two devices on the network with the same MAC address, neither will work properly.
Why is this important? No one can do a drive by on your wireless network. They can't get an IP address without first being added to your network security. No IP, no workie. Simple.

I generally stick with Seagate for spinning drives, they've all worked for me since the late 1980's. My first was a 10MB hard drive in an IBM PC.
If you want reliable SSD's, I also have a perfect record on Samsung drives. Just a quick question here: Are you sure that 2TB is a hardware limitation for you? Because 2 terabytes of hard drive space happens to be the largest addressable size for 32 bit operating systems. Usually you can put in larger hard drives, and add a bunch of 2TB partitions on that drive if you are not hardware limited.
If you can tell me if we are talking about 32 bit Windows, that would narrow things down for me, plus the model of your computer. We might be able to add a bunch of storage almost as cheaply as only buying 2TB drives.
Here are 2TB drives for $46 each, new:

A virtual private network (VPN) is a technology that creates a safe and encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the internet. VPN technology was developed as a way to allow remote users and branch offices to securely access corporate applications and other resources. To ensure safety, data travels through secure tunnels and VPN users must use authentication methods -- including passwords, tokens and other unique identification methods -- to gain access to the VPN.
Think of the VPN as a tunnel, where your machine is connected to another machine on the Internet, and the traffic between you and the other end of the tunnel is encrypted. Only your desktop and your VPN server can decrypt your transmissions. All everyone else sees is digital garbage, completely unreadable "code groups" as they say on TV.
WTH is a VPN: https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/01/wtf-is-a-vpn/
The article that started all of this in my brain: https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/09/how-i-made-my-own-vpn-server-in-15-minutes/?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000591&yptr=yahoo&utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark
There are a lot of pay VPN's out there, and every one I tried was either slow as heck, or did not work at all.
So I decided to build my own, using a Cloud server. I picked Digital Ocean, because they are inexpensive, VERY easy to use, and they do not log your internet traffic. This VPN will work for MAC OS X, Windows, Android phones and boxes, iPads, iPhones, etc. You will be able to use coffee shop wireless networks without any worries, because EVERYTHING you send or receive is encrypted with either 1024 or 2048 bit modern encryption.
That means your ISP cannot read any of the communication sent to and from your computer. Your web browsing, DNS lookups (which websites you connect to...), file downloads (even torrents), everything you do is sent through the tunnel, and emerges onto the internet from the other machine (VPN server) where you have connected. For instance, if you have a website in the UK that provides content only for the UK, you can create a VPN server in the London datacenter, and watch the content all you like, because your VPN IP address is in the UK. From anywhere in the world.I set up an account with DO (Digital Ocean), and created my own "droplet", which is their terminology for one of their virtual servers. For $5 a month, you get 20GB of online storage (on SSD drives!), 1 CPU, 512MB of RAM, and 1TB of traffic a month. That amount of RAM is plenty, because all you are doing with the machine is running the VPN software. I am connected to my VPN right now, and I am getting 190mbps download, and 20 mbps upload speeds. This is a faster speed than most ISP's provide to their customers. My connection through Digital Ocean is smooth as glass. You can also use your server as online picture storage (No more Photobucket bullsquirt). You can host your own webpages. You can take control of DNS, so that you can repoint any domains you own to your new online server.
The beauty of this method is just how fast you can implement a new server, load the VPN software, and configure your desktop OS for this new VPN. Now that I have gotten the procedure down, it would take me less than 10 minutes to implement a new server, including the 45 seconds it takes for Digital Ocean to create your new OS build.
If you are questioning why I would want to set up another server, the answer is this: Let's say you wanted to download something via a torrent, but you are worried that the torrent download can be traced back to you. You set up a new VPN, do your download, and then delete the server, the "droplet". The torrent tracker will have the hostname and IP address of your droplet having downloaded a file. Now, because you have deleted that machine, it breaks the trace. The IP address is no longer assigned to you, and the original server is gone forever. And since it is so fast to set up another one, it makes the task of covering your bases very easy.Setting up your very own VPN server!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few commands you have to run at a command prompt, and a couple of files you need to download. I will provide direct links to that software, and instructions on how to use them.
The first thing you will need is Putty. This is a piece of software installed on your desktop, that allows you to log into Unix and Linux boxes:
ftp://ftp.chiark.greenend.org.uk/users/sgtatham/putty-latest/w64/putty-64bit-0.70-installer.msi
Either click the link, or paste the FTP URL into your web browser. In the resulting dialog box, click either Open or Save. Once you have downloaded the file, double click it to install Putty. For ease of use, have the installer place an icon on your desktop. (I use this software all day, every day for my job...)
Now, go to DigitalOcean, and sign up for a new account: https://www.digitalocean.com/ ## There is no charge for simply setting up an account. They charge by the number and size of servers you build and operate. For our VPN, simply choose the smallest server size, $5 a month. Pick Ubuntu for the OS. Type in the hostname you would like to call your server. That's all you will need for now. Once you hit the big green "Create" button, 45 seconds later your server is built. They will send an email to the account you used to sign up, that will include the new hostname, IP address, and the root user password.
Copy the IP address out of the email into your clipboard. Run Putty, paste the IP into the "Host names (Or IP's)" box, and then paste it again into the "Saved Sessions". Hit the "Save" button, and then the "Open" button. This will open a text based connection to your new server. Type "root" in for the user name, and copy the root password from the email. Once it is in your clipboard, anywhere in the text area, simply right click to paste, and hit enter on your keyboard. The next information to come up will be an enforced password change for root. Right click again, hit enter, and put your new password in twice. Once the password is changed, it will land you at the command prompt with a flashing cursor.
It will look like this:

I am doing research on hard drive speeds, and seeing just how fast I can get drives to read and write data. Faster loading times for regular software, faster games.
I had to replace my old computer which had a major hardware issue. It was freezing up constantly, even after I underclocked it by 50%.
Because of the chip and tech shortage right now, it's darned near impossible to buy a top tier video card. The only option I had was to purchase a "pre-built" machine with the bones that I wanted, i.e. the right motherboard, CPU, case, and most importantly the GPU / Video card. Ram and other small parts are easily replaceable, which I have done.
So I said goodbye to the old i7 4770k with dual GTX 770's, and hello to my little friend:
Processor :: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Processor 24 cpu cores (24X 3.7GHz/64MB L3 Cache)Memory ::16GB [8GB x 2] DDR4-3200MHz RGBReplaced with 128GB [32GB x 4] DDR4-3600MHz ARGB (more on this and why this much is needed in a bit)Storage :: 1TB M.2 NVMe SSDVideo Card :: GeForce RTX 3080 - 10GB GDDR6X (VR-Ready)Motherboard :: ASUS PRIME X570-PRO ES W/ WiFiSo on with the story. As everyone knows, the bottlenecks in any computer system have always been around the storage solutions.Floppy disks gave way to hard drives, then on to SSD's, and recently there came the M.2 drives, each generation getting much faster than the one prior. I was once given a 1.5TB high voltage SCSI array (high end server hardware!) directly out of a business server room. It had 15 drives in a RAID 5 configuration to reach that storage size. I took it home happily, because 1.5TB hard drives weren't even available in the mid 1990's! I ran it for a couple of months, and then realized that the array cost me over $200 a month in electric bills. All by itself. Buhbye.A while back I had purchased 5 Samsung Pro 256GB SSD drives (solid state, no spinning platters) from a friend on the forum. I decided to add them into the new machine as a RAID 5 striped array. All 5 drives are used as one "logical" drive, with each one only having to read and write 1/5th of the data. This means that you can read and write up to 5 times faster than a single drive on a SATA6 port (this varies in the real world, but is a good starting point in describing a raid drive).Additionally, I added a 4TB old style hard drive with spinning platters for data and some other items that will be shown below.And now let's get on with the speed testing, and I will show you the results from the slowest to the fastest (The last item is an eye opener, no doubt!).First up, I tested an old USB 2.0 30GB thumb drive on the new system: (Here are what the codes mean: SEQ means sequential reads/writes, RND means random reads/writes, 1M is 1MB file size for the reads/writes, RND4k means random reads/writes of 4k in size)
Traditional hard drives until recently could only read and write at 50MB per second, and that is only if you had a decent one... A USB 2 drive is about half that speed, as you can see.The next drive up is a new USB2 1TB stick, which is worse than the older one above:
Next in line is the 4TB hard drive: (with the advent of SATA6, hard drive speeds more than doubled!)
Now here comes some better speed. The M.2 NVMe drive that came with the system: (M.2 NVMe is a small board, not much bigger than a thumb drive that attaches on top of newer motherboards. They have a direct interface with the CPU, cutting out all of the traditional slowdowns by running all of the data through the motherboard chipsets)
As you can see, the data transfer rates are now in the GB per second range (1,000 x MB), instead of merely measuring in sub 150MB speeds. This is over 20 times faster than the old style hard drives!Here are the numbers for the SSD RAID 5 array. Better than the M.2 NVME, but not by a whole lot:
Still, 2.6GB of sustained transfer speeds is amazing.Now, as a real world test, I copied an 80GB file from the M.2 NVMe drive to the raid array:
1GB per second (a real world 1 Gigabyte transfer rate is kinda mind blowing, as the "modern" wired networks only transfer 1 gigabit per second!)Now comes the biggest, baddest disk transfer speeds I have ever seen! There is a piece of software available that allows you to portion out the RAM on your computer, making it into a functional "hard drive". It's called RAMDisk, and if you have enough RAM on your system, you can utilize it for some amazing storage and transfer speeds. This is why I spent the extra $550 dollars on the ram upgrade, and $21 for the personal use RAMDisk.An affiliate (referral) program is a terrific way to earn some extra cash online. If you have a website, blog, social media, etc. then you can quickly and easily begin earning money.memory.dataram.com
Here's the weird thing: I purchased the RAMDisk Extreme upgrade, which supposedly raises your RAM drive allocation to 64GB. It did not limit me to that size, but instead allows me to use as much of my RAM as I like. I don't think that they intended this, and I sure as hell am not going to tell them they screwed it up! I apportioned a hard drive in RAM that is 80GB of storage, leaving my system with 48GB of usable RAM for the operating system. It doesn't sound like much, but I can load 6 or 7 of my favorite games on it, and enjoy the fastest machine possible for my budget. Anyone familiar with computers knows that your RAM disappears when you shut your computer off. This software writes all new or changed data to a file on an actual disk drive, backing up the RAMDisk in real time. When your system starts, it automatically loads the drive back into your RAM.Here are the speeds that I achieved today with the new RAMDisk:
14.4 and 12 Gigabytes per second transfer speeds? Are you freakin' kidding me?? Now my mind really was blown.I loaded several of my favorite games on the new ram drive. Portal 1 and 2. Half Life 2. Quake 2 RTX. Pinball Arcade. They loaded in a blink of an eye. Even level changes were darned near instantaneous. Just incredible. I also moved my "Temporary Internet Files" to a folder on this drive to speed up web browsing.Anyway, just thought you would like to see some real world options, so that the next time you are either building or buying a system you can make more informed decisions.Oicup.s. Here are some other ram disk software options: https://www.raymond.cc/blog/12-ram-disk-software-benchmarked-for-fastest-read-and-write-speed/-

I like how he says they've been "properly taken care of" and in the same breath states that his 901's are better at handling massive amplification... 🤔
Still a good deal at $1800 IMO good find!
I've owned the Blows 901/6's, and I think his ears and estimating ability might be a tad off.

I would love to have the Heresy Pro's, just too far from Florida.
Good luck with your sale, but I would post a new thread. Not many people will read through your Khorns wanted thread and find out that you also have La Scalas and Heresies for sale.

Not quite. It's simply difficult to impart the generational leap of a new speaker design across the internet, when the end audience can't actually hear and feel the new product.

I'm sure I definitely needed those and another circuit project to add to the todo pile... Any idea what might have caused them to fry the guy's speaker? Think it's that piece of metal on the right one in the last picture that's bent into the resistors shorting something out?
That was my thought exactly. -
These are 100W RMS mono amps out of Allen Organs. They work great (at least the ones that I got from another member here do, as I have 6 of them in service currently).
RCA line inputs, bare wire outs which could easily be changed to bananas or 5-ways. Huge power supplies and capacitors. I use these with pre-amp outputs from a surround receiver, and they truly deliver. Clean, clear sound and they never even get warm.
This is not my ad, I just found them and thought I would pass on a good deal:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/165166085714?hash=item2674aa7652:g:T0oAAOSwr25hcKyZ
I think that once you hear these, you will consider the $75ish dollars extremely well spent! I know that I absolutely love mine.
I need to cut some birch ply to make bases for mine.
I've seen these added to a pair of La Scala before, attached next to the crossovers to make them self powered speakers... edit: Come to think of it, I've seen La Scala that were built into Allen Organs.

Is this a ( to good to be true) sale ?
It’s about a 1.5 to 2 hour drive one way. I have the money but wife wants me to sell of some of my audio gear before buying an anything else. Lol. It only took her 26 years to say this to me. Lol guess I’m a lucky man who has a very understanding wife. But she is right, I have so much gear and speakers just sitting all over the house.
