A bit of irony....
I didn't have these glasses then but had I, I'm sure they'd now be thinking "Gee, do these dudes EVER listen to ANYTHING else in life????"
Us old dudes know what's good!!!! 👍
It was cool watching the Pink Floyd PULSE DVD last night and looking over at the Klipsch glasses. 5.1 Klipsch Surround and Klipsch glasses; doesn’t get any better. No Champagne, just my typical Music and Merlot session last night. It's great that they do the complete "Dark Side of the Moon" album for that concert. However, I usually skip over "The Great Gig In The Sky", just can't handle about six minutes of screeching! 😂

Thanks again for the great Giveaway @Coytee! The glasses are on permanent display, so I’ll see them every night when I watch/listen to Concert DVD’s. I think tonight it will be the Blu-ray PULSE Concert by Pink Floyd. I wish I had used a different background to better display the glasses, oh well!

Today I received two PWK 100th Birthday Champagne Glasses that I surprisingly won in Coytee's Giveaway. In the picture they are displayed on each side of my Carver Coasters that I won in Jim Clark’s Giveaway on the Carver Audio Forum. Jim is Director of Operations for Bob Carver LLC and the coasters that I won are the prototype for the ones they are now selling through Bob’s Company.

Hey Man It's Raining! I am hoping the thousands of hours( and $$ ) that I have spent fixing/installing drains to mitigate such issues on my property all work well. There will always be some clean up no matter what but hopefully not a disaster. Pray for us, please.
Our daughter, who lives in San Diego, just sent us a video she took moments ago from her porch. The rain is really coming down right now! I told her I'd trade her our heat for her rain!!!!!
Hope your drainage works properly!
All of you folks that are in the path of this storm are in our prayers!

@Buck115 I think the Forum was a box set maybe but can't remember w/o looking. The lp's are dialed right in as I recall. I can't see them not having something out there but who knows?
Yep, a box set of sorts. Mine includes 2 CDs of the performance and 1 Blu-ray of the performance. During the concert, Vince Gill and Deacon Frey take turns performing all of the songs that Glenn Frey used to perform.

I hope they release a Blu-ray DVD from this concert tour, I will certainly buy it. I have the Blu-ray of the Eagles Farewell Tour (1) from Sidney, the last one with Glenn Frey. I also have the Eagles "Live From The Forum 2018" on Blu-ray, which included Deacon Frey and Vince Gill, great concert!!!!!!

@RealMarkDeneen Yep, I liked Hoppy too! That was a nice Roy Rogers display with Bullet, Trigger, and Buttermilk (Dale's horse)!

This is a picture of the Roy Rogers Exhibit that was set up in the Cowboy Museum at the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. I took the picture from my table during the 2016 Fall Texas Gun Collector’s Association Show (TGCA).

Shangri-La is a great album.
His album All the Roadrunning, that he did with Emmylou Harris is really good too.
I agree! I have the "Shangri-La" DVD and the "All the Roadrunning" DVD and really like both!

@Dave1291 Is that Doyle Bramhall II on stage playing the guitar with Clapton in the picture above? If so, he and Clapton have aged a lot since they performed on the Clapton DVD Concerts that I have!

I am using a Sunfire Symphonic Reference Preamp and a Carver TFM-4.0 Power Amplifier with my Klipsch KLF-20's and to me the sound is amazing; at least to these old ears!

To my old and mistreated ears; the KLF-20's that I purchased new in 1998 just keep rocking while listening to my vinyl and CDs! They continue to sound great in my setup!!!!!

Yes. This klf 20/30 pic shows the 'threaded cabinet insert' . It is metal. It's threads extend/screw about one inch into cab base. It has a threaded hole in it's center - end to end of the 'insert'. Threaded central hole is for spike cover and spike itself.
The vinyl cap is i suspect what functions as a foot, as alternative to spikes.
I have pretty good idea how spike (klf) system works.
How the 'vinyl cap' looks and how it attaches to the 'insert' is not clear to me.
......
Here is the extract from the KLF manual that describes using the KLF's on carpet or hard surfaces. The Vinyl Caps just slide over the Threaded Cabinet Inserts and are nothing special. I've also included a picture of the Vinyl Caps that came with my KLF-20's.
Installation of KLF 20 and KLF 30 Spike Feet:
The larger KLF models have four threaded inserts, covered with a soft vinyl cap, on the bottom of the cabinet. If the speaker will be used on a hard surface, these caps should be left in place to provide a non-skid surface. Also included in the carton are four spike feet. The spike feet will enhance the performance of your KLF series loudspeaker by concentrating the weight of the speaker on the spikes, improving the mechanical connection to the floor (especially on carpet). This improves the definition, clarity and detail of the speaker by channeling cabinet vibration into the floor. The spikes are intended for use on carpet, but may also be used on hardwood, vinyl or tile floors. Be advised that they will scratch or mar the floor's surface. In either case, final positioning of the speaker should be determined before the spikes are installed. Mark the speaker's location on the floor with masking tape, install the spikes and reposition in the desired location.

I guess it’s time to bust out the chainsaw.
Yep, I had to do that when we had storms come through here on April 12th of this year. We had several large Oak limbs come down in our woods and the top of a large Pine tree. We also had a huge Oak Tree that came down; falling out of the woods onto our back yard and the top ended up about 10 feet from our house. These pictures only show a portion of all the piles of limbs, branches, and segments of the trunk that I cut up. My Echo chainsaw really got a workout and so did I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had a lot of trees down in our neighborhood, but thankfully no damage to any homes. From the way that the tops of some trees and some limbs were twisted off, it appears that we probably had a tornado come over us, but off the ground.

My favorite receiver, and I still have it, is a Marantz 4400 Quad Receiver that I purchased new in 1975 at the Navy Exchange in Yokosuka, Japan.
Edit to add: To me, the Marantz always had the purest and pleasing sound of any receiver I ever owned. I used it with a pair of Sansui SP-3500 front speakers and Sansui SF-2 rear speakers. In 1988 I purchased a Carver CT-7 Tuner/Preamp and Carver M1.0t Power Amplifier and started using it with my SP-3500’s and eventually my Klipsch KLF-20’s that I bought in 1998. I still have all of this stuff except for the Sansui speakers. Here is a scanned picture of the Marantz and Sansui speaker setup in 1979.

I bought my KLF-20’s new in 1998 and this picture is from the manual and is the way mine came. The spikes were in a Spike Kit and the Threaded Cabinet Insert was covered with the Vinyl Cap. Essentially you could use them without the spikes installed, but the caps would wear over time if the speakers were moved very much.
Is what you refer to as a bolt actually the threaded insert like in the manual's picture? You can buy different styles of feet (spikes or rubber) with threaded inserts that will screw into the Threaded Cabinet Insert.
Edit to add: the threads should be 1/4-20.

I only have two systems; my 5.1.2 Surround system in our living room and my pure stereo system out in my mancave (named The Boonies).
However; I still have every system component that I bought and subsequently replaced/updated going back to 1975 when I purchased my Marantz 4400. 😮 And, all of these components are still in their original boxes. Yep, shelves of boxed up stuff! 😂

I don't have the LP, but I do have the Blu-ray DVD. In my opinion, it is a very good DVD with nice video quality and listening to it in DTS 5.1 Surround through a 5.1.2 setup, with a glass of Merlot of course, is outstanding!
