Neighbors cranked a chainsaw early.. Cranked my CF-1 with my Luxman...dang near 90 db.
All is quiet now...lol.
I’m waiting for my neighbors to have another party. They usually have a tent and a big PA. I’m gonna roll the LSIs outside.

La Scala II for L/R. I was thinking a taller tower speaker would make better sense for rears to get the mid/high up more to ear level. I do not want to use stands anymore. I think the Heresy for rears would sit really low
Subwoofers are the best stands for Heresy! If you really don’t want stands then slant risers can help direct the sound upward. Of course I don’t know your room to know if that would help. I tilted my Heresy center since it sits on the floor and it blends well with the left and rights that are on subs.

As for finish I’d go with black. A wrap would need a smooth surface to look decent, and veneer is even more work.
As for the “mechanicals” (assuming everything works) just check all the connections by loosening and tightening them all.
Then listen and enjoy!

Since there is all the WAF mentions how about we add “wife yelling to turn it down!”

This happened 10/15 years ago....well just died. Turned power off, looked at some of the things and (at that time) the contacts were fried....so slapped a new set in and after turning power back on, all was well.
Pump died again several years later.... pressure gauge contacts looked fine....kept poking around and the starter motor capacitor (might not be the correct name) was toast. It was housed in a controller box.
Went to store, bought replacement....and the replacement was (let's say) one inch too long. BACK to store, bought slightly shorter replacement (with original in hand) and all was well. (pun not intended!)
Today, water dies. Contacts still look strong, breaker fine, fuse at pressure tank fine. I start to eyeball the capacitor. Just so happens I have the prior one that's too large. On a gander, crammed it into the space and vi-ola, I now have water. So seems it died again.
Brings me to my question.... it is 88-108 uF As I look online to attempt to see if the box stores even mention this, I start to see 86-103 uF, 161-193 uF and this got me wondering..... how exact must the uF be?
I'm certainly going to try to find an exact replacement.... Size will be important as it has to fit in the box! If I can't find the exact 88-108 uF, is it better to go larger or smaller? It's been probably 50 years since I had 'electric shop' in Jr. High School.... so recall very little other than liquid solder is usually HOT!!!
Stores are closed tonight, I'm working 7-5 tomorrow non stop at home so will likely send the wife to store with old unit in hand. The physical dimensions will be critical as it has to fit....otherwise, how much wiggle room do I have on the uF numbers?
(or are those the ones of concern?)
I’ll just say you are lucky to know how to fix it at all. I have one that hadn’t been on in years and was relieved when I discovered all my pipes were busted. I was worried the pump may not work. Good luck!

I’m just curious if you’ll notice any difference in how it sounds after you replace the capacitor…
Well…. I’m sure running pump and water sound different than not running.

I could use a single LSI near Atlanta. Piggy back bump!

The better the speakers the better the amp the better the pre and most importantly the better the source, but @dtel already had it right.

I’m asking for honest opinions on this
The album will be released in October 2023
THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON REDUX by Roger Waters
I feel like it’s just an attempt to cash in. I saw Waters in 99 and while good it wasn’t Pink Floyd. And then well. Some things should just be left alone.

Listen to them first before you replace anything. If you need to repair/replace anything most everything can be had via Klipsch or authorized sellers. Good luck!

I find them quite stylish, myself. Black speaker, e en large one, tend to disappear in a room. It may take awhile, but they do.
I could paint walls black. They’d really disappear then.

Zevon was a vodka guy. Then he quit and the song writing skills went with the bottles into the bin.
Funny how sobriety works….
