Even with ATI's terrible beta drivers it still outperforms the GF4TI4600 by a large margin. Even if you hate ATI you have to admit the 9700 is a better card. Even in a benchmark that was made for nvidia cards the 9700 doubled the GF4's scores.

As people have said counless times, just because something has less watts doesnt mean it's worse (although the SVS CS-ULTRA is much more powerful then the RSW-15 due to its sonotube design and great driver). PWK's speaker designs could run off of just 3 "measly" watts of power but would blow away some of today's stuff that uses over 100.

quote: Originally posted by klipguy: well if its just a change in a diffrent standard how they measure WATTS as you say "FTC" I hope all other companys do the same or else klipsch will loose some costomers, i would not of paid the money i did for my RSW 15 for 650W when the VELODYNE HGS 15" was not far off,at 1250W and 3000W peak same as there 18" .... Just because it has more watts doesnt mean that it will perform better. A SVS CS-ULTRA with only 500 watts could blow away either sub. I don't think klipsch would loose any customers because im sure most people that buy their subs know that there are a lot more important things than Watts. The RSW-15 sounds better (musically) than the Velodyne but im not sure about how they compare when it comes to SPL.

After reading this article ( http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/general/messages/14476.html ) I think the stereophile editor doesn't quite understand doppler distortion. In PWK's horn designs the speaker cones dont move back and forth as far because the horn allows them to create a loud sound without moving as much. Therefor they would have LESS doppler distortion then other speaker types.

People around here pay like $20 unless their lawns are huge or full fo junk you need to mow around. Also they seem to only need them mowed about once a month. Some people just let their lawns grow the whole summer . Im pretty sure it would be easier to mow one of those huge lawns on a tractor then a smaller one with my junky old push mower.

Im currently mowing lawns but there just arent that many around here. I do some work for my neighbor to but I only do like 1 lawn a week. There a lot more kids that need lawns to mow areound here than there are lawns that need mowing.

I got a email saying I won.

I bid $60 for them with 38 minutes left.

Hofy do you still have them on your website?

This pair http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1361398825 sold recently for $800 and they look to be in good condition. Thats the only low priced pair I've seen. On audiogon people are asking over $1500 for them.

Now that ive finally saved up some cash im starting to search for a pair of used La Scalas to start of my HT. There arent any on ebay, the ones on audiogon are WAY to expensive, and there arent any on Ubid. Are there any other places to look for them? Newspapers and such around here never have anything good in them. Has anyone else here had much luck trying to find them? Im hoping to get a pair for a reasonable price (under $800) by the end of the summer.

I just read 17 pages of people laughing at pictues of red Xs. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PICTURES??? I even right clicked the Xs and selected show picture but still no luck? If it was good enough for 17 pages it must be pretty darn funny! Please re-post them or something.

I mean, what constitutes something so 'technical' that it can't be handled by the 2 Channel Forum Let's see, Yesterday I jamming on some 'Godsmack' and my SVS was pumping so much air it blew one of my RF7's over into my tube amp. When I tipped the RF7 back over, I found that one of the RCA Cleartops had dislodged out of the amp and was now protruding out of one of the woofers. I don't know what to do. If I pull the tube out of the woofer, there will be a hole, but I really need that tube for my amp. Jeesh -- I need to go to bed Ive been going to this forum for a while and just "discovered" this area 2 days ago .
