    So... 

    I can happily run a forum search on KKK but I cannot for '******* Brew'. 

    Hm...

    Interesting... 

     

    I'm not sure I want to be associated with the Klipsch brand anymore. I'm going to flag my own post. I want some admin to look at this. 

     

    To my knowledge letters are not banned yet......soon I'm sure cause kids don't know whats good for em'.

    Or it could be terms that the record label wouldn't allow it.  There are Fear Factory and Type O Negative albums that aren't on there because of this.  Most of the stuff I hear on Spotify has messages from both sides and is allowed, especially RAP. 

     

    Nope not the label. The thing is , if something is censored and you never get a chance to hear it because some ELSE thinks you may not be smart enough to decide what you like ? I call that censorship and don't support that with my ears or dollars, just me. I know many people love censorship, odd but it's a thing.Things I would censor appear on kids tv.... If it's free censor away, if I pay ?? There is lots of free, ad free internet radio that's better than any radio I grew up with. So, they prolly censor some, but it's free. The type of music being the only limitation of free online. For classic rock, that's Radio Shadow Deep Tracks. If the OP was asking about online radio ??

     I heard Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" today and it said the other F word w/o censorship. I just listened again to be sure and sure 'nuff Mark said ****** several times. And to top it off I went and checked out Country Joe and The Fish's Fish cheer from Woodstock. yep they said it several times...in fact 3 or 4 hundred thousand people screamed it. So my experience is not like yours.

    It's not an experience, they just don't allow music they don't like the message of.......Of course I don't know how much or what all they censor.I can't imagine they would censor Country Joe, he's like family. I just saw a great song on youtube a week or so ago and the guys said it was banned from Spotify. There was no bad language , just a bad message, in spotify eye. It was a rap song I usually would never hear but it just popped up and was actually not bad and pretty witty. So...not gonna effect 99.9%. I just think if it's available and don't call for damage' music should be uncensored....

    And.....who did the servicing? Edward's Electronics on Ebay?

    I assume I'll eventually use Edwards. I do have a nice 400 watt solid amp with many options of settings , 20hz  HP etc..I may try if needed.

  5. Any help from the technical minded would be appreciated. I have a rsw15 that when unplugged for any longer length of time goes dead. I plug it in, nothing.no light. Then a day or so later, I get a light but no response. Then a day or three later I get some response but not full, maybe half. Then after another day or so full response, killer bass, works great. This is not a new development, been doing this a long time. I try to never move or unplug or same all over again. But as long as it's plugged in it works fine. I assume something is loading up and becomes operable but.....So, if you know or have a guess thanks.

  6. LOL,  zombie thread alert .........I gotta admit, I enjoyed seeing some of those old names from some great members of yesteryear! Were they banned or just left as the forum was becoming something less than it was previously, great that is...JBL, yeah...they made a few great speakers. Their HT offerings comparing to KLIPSCH offerings of that era were way off. I actually bought a pair if Northridge (or something) dual 10's and they were not even in the same league as my rf5's of that time. I requested my money back, which he did oblige and that was the end of my JBL adventure.

  7. I hooked up my old Marantz 2015 just to give it a listen. My son has had it for several years. Hooked to 20's it sounds as good as I remember. I recently picked up a Sansui G3500 from an old fellow. Been is his closet 20 some years. I thought  this is a good time to compare em'. The Sansui certainly has a different sound and I really like it. It's smooth as silk and very robust for 30 or so watts per channel, although the Marantz 20w or so is too. The Sansui sounds so much different than my Marantz/Pioneer/Onkyo from the same era. The separation ,layers on bass, depth of drums...I'm gonna have to move up the line. It was a big surprise, just bought it cause it was mint and cheap.

  8. You can use an ohm meter to determine if the tweeters are operating within spec (ask Klipsch maybe? or call "the speaker exchange") then go from there. If they are damaged it should show with a meter. If they are damaged you should be able to replace the tweeter or diaphragm . I'm no repair guy for sure, I have replaced tweeter diaphragms in my reference before. The point is with a few calls you should be pointed in the right direction.

  9. The Fresh Prez of DC, just search and watch for a thing called "comedy". View at your own risk,directly related to economy. That was a thing some years ago. It was really cool cause it was "funny". That's another thing that used to mean you laughed, not a comment on how great things are.....

  10. Reprise.....before this thread sinks into the depths of the memory hole. Happy Birthday America ! You were the Greatest Country ever conceived by some of the Greatest humans ever conceived ! You constructed the road map for future generations. Someday that map will be used again, when tyranny is defeated.

  11. On a personal level I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July. On a National level, most people don't even know what it is about, really. Mostly thanks to John Adams who ,with one fantastic speech convinced his colleges and the "money people" that America needed Independence for future generations. Today, he would be cancelled by the Overlords ! Happy 4th ! Enjoy what was delivered by men of GREAT WISDOM, the likes of which we'll never see again.....

  13. Ok doke, you're "K horns say, Klipsch IS known for BASS"  Hey, they're your horns, you should know what they're saying to ya. But...the WORLD in GENERAL do not proclaim "Klipsch, Maaan, they are BassMonsters, everyone knows that...Of course I think some Klipsch do bass fine, it's not the "defining Characteristic". I will be happy to read the many threads proclaiming Klipsch legendary Bass output ??? I think Khorns, as some other Klipsch are GREAT speakers, pretty balanced overall, to me anyway..but NOT known for they're bass belting chops in my limited circles. Again....just me prolly but....I call em as I hear em. I have over 20 Klipsch speakers in my house, some do bass fine, most need a subwoofer.

  14. Klipsch is NOT known for Bass, thats just the way it is. Just as Cerwin Vegas are known to  NOT need a subwoofer , at all.  Klipsch can do Great Bass, but it requires trial and error of front end. I have heard my 30's sound anemic in bass, and belt it out too. The room has a huge effect even within different speakers. But the main thing is of course the pre stage and it's settings. The Great radios of the past and present included tone controls for a very good reason. I bet I could hook up my old Marantz or Pioneer or Sansui to those Cornwalls, you turn your head and hear loads of bass. I suggest streaming/playing Steely Dan, "Everything Must go" Godwhacker, if you cant get the bass where you want it...Corns ain't for you.........

    If you had the original version of the RF-7, I totally agree. When I had my pair, we thought they totally lacked midrange. They were very disappointing to me. The version II don't seem to have this issue. Also, the forte II speakers are great sounding speakers and are newer speakers that will work well with home theater receivers. I recently compared the forte I to the RF-7 II speakers, and the RF-7 II speakers won without a challenge. I'm sure the forte II speakers would put up as better fight, but not sure if it would win. I know@Youthman did an A+B comparison of the RF-7 III speakers against the forte III speakers and he preferred the RF-7 III speakers.

    Everyone has their own taste...which means there is no wrong. I had original 7's, had to sell em' after some years. I went in to buy a new pair of II's when released. After making them hook em' up to every decent front end at Ovation I said yikes, they ruined the 7's. Cured me of wanting new 7's....Try to find some old ones, somebody must like em' .I see every other Klipsch except jubes often, never 7's v1, except crazy priced many years. Got some that ain't crazy priced ? I want to be wrong, just let me know....

    Once you go heritage you’ll never go back.  Replaced my RF-63’s with La Scala Ii’s, then upgraded to AL5’s last summer.  Just replaced RS-62 II’s with Fortee IV’s and have a third La Scala AL5 on the way to replace my RC-64 III center.  Best move I’ve ever made.

    Really....I'm not seeing any comparison here. I could say the same about many speakers vs what you had for much cheaper.......
