  1. I do have hardwood floors. I have a couple of black dogs so an area rug would only be temporary, It would look like garbage after a few weeks. I know because I spent a few hundred on a large circular rug and it didn't take long before I hauled it to the dump. Another unrelated problem I recently solved was when ever a dog or person walked across the living room I occasionally experienced a short burst of static through my system. I solved that problem by installing a eeros Pro + mesh network and plugging my streaming mini pc directly into one of the nodes that sits directly under the amp. No more static. That puzzled me for awhile because the person or dog would be in the middle of the room 8 or 9 feet away from system when the static occurred and not in direct line with the router which is upstairs.
  2. I'm wondering why the speakers sound better from above. My ceiling shape is / | (not to scale or pitch). So as I go up the stairs I have a vertical wall behind me and the sloped wall above the speaks.
  3. Maybe the solution is to have a custom collar made of walnut that would tilt the top hat forward.
  4. Or buy an old style barber chair with the telescoping height adjustment.
  5. I thought about that. I have hardwood floors so I could put a folded cloth in the rear an slide the speaker back in the corner.
  6. My listening chair is approximately 13ft and centered on my modified Khorns. I've have a 17-18 foot ceiling in my living room and a stairway behind my chair. When I climb the stairs I notice an improvement in sound (detail) when my feet are even with the top of the recliner. Is there a way to bring that sweet spot down to normal listening height? I'm not complaining about the sound I have now but if there is a way to make it better. I am all ears.
  7. Classic! I once talked backwards but I couldn't write fast enough to remember what I said.
  8. I think I'm the mood to listen to White Rabbit.

    One for each major artery in the heart.
  10. Not only can you hear the music, you can see the music as colors, not that I would have personal experience.
  11. I feel the need to correct you. Psilocybin and Weed taken together will greatly enhance the quality of your system far beyond ivermectin. My local audio dealer should keep a stash behind the counter before he does a demo and then keep you distracted until the full effects kick in. He could sell a lot of boomboxes at a premium price.
  12. After buying my hardware, no money left for $30 on up vinyl. I'm happy with streaming.
  13. What does ivermectin do to your brain? When taken above the therapeutic dose, increased concentrations of ivermectin may overwhelm the ability of the P- glycoprotein pumps to keep it out of the CNS by saturating the pump. This can lead to neurotoxic effects such as ataxia, tremors, myoclonus, seizures, encephalopathy, and coma. Effective therapy for conspiracy theorists and Qfools.

    Is it still beating or is it on ice?
  15. Agreed, with speakers this sensitive, I could probably use Cat 6 network wiring for speaker cabling. If I opened up my amplifier, I bet the output wiring is not bigger than 22 awg. The original cabling in these speakers was 12ga Monster cabling. Not expensive, but you could see the green corrosion, so I replaced the wiring with some ofc cabling I bought off of Amazon. I could have spent big bucks for high end Audioquest cables but I doubt I'd hear a difference.

    How bout a quadruple by-pass on the side
  17. Crites and DeanG crossovers likely make use of the components in the bass bin since they are similar to the stock crossovers.
  18. Yeah Al said to replace the 1.2a fuse with a 5 amp fuse. Didn't make sense to me, so I did it anyway. It worked. I've been using 1.25a fuses since I installed his cross-overs. I bought the crossovers from Al Klappenberger (ALKENG.COM). Instructions were to remove the components in the bass bin and wire the woofer to the woofer terminal on one of the three boards that make up the crossover. These are no longer Klipschorns, but something much better. I'm just using the cabinets and woofers.
  19. Appreciate your input. I took a day trip to Chattanooga today so I didn't have the chance to work on my speakers today. I do have the 5 amp fuses that Al recommended, so I'll use those and then plug my McIntosh directly into the woofer input and give it a spin. Thanks.
  20. Also, I'd be replacing windows, the front door, my wife and the dog.
  21. Good idea, I've got a pair of Klipsch bs speakers. I used them to test the amplifier, didn't think to use them to test the woofer outputs. I did use a telecom toner, that's used to identify pairs of wires. It did produce sound on the top end but not directly through the input on the woofer board. What level of voltage should I be looking for on the woofer components at a low listening level? Thanks for that idea.
  22. Nope, 2 watts is about the top of normal listening range.
