I remember reading a PWK quote somewhere that went something like this:
A direct radiator is like a piston moving up and down in a lake, just a lot of sloshing around. If we put a cylinder around that piston, now we can get some work done!!!

Lately I have been spending time with you guys, listening to music on the computer system. In the office I enjoy the music beacause I know the system is nowhere near perfect. Every now and then I run into a piece music that for whatever reason I just have to hear on the "Big" system. It's then that I will walk away from the computer and fire up the real deal. Then I just dissaper into the tunes.

Greg,
yep, thats an SVS sub. pc 20/39
Meagain,
Thank you for the kind words. The woofer is a Altec 515E 16" mounted on the front of the motorboard. You must have a good calibrated eye, because it is covered with an 18" embroidery hoop streched with grill cloth. That way I could have the "Decorator" look and still protect the driver from the cats and small projectiles launched by my kids.
Terry,
You are right, these were in a thread titled something like that a few years ago. Back then I wanted to show them off to all the people who helped me here at the forum. I still like to show off now and then so I post a pic when they are relevant to the conversation. Most of my friends don't appreciate my obsession, but I know you guys do.

I remember seeing pics of your A7s years ago. I don't remember that TT in the room!! What is that thing?
(I also bought some tweets from you in '03)
Congrats on the Cornwalls. Don't forget to give us your impressions!

Classic Scenario.
I think at one point or another we all have a good neighbor story. I have one about a guy who was excited to show off his new HT. He had a party and put his bookshelves in his windows. I let him brag for about an hour then went home and opened my sliding door. Metalica on big horns trumps Aerosmith on little bookshelves. His bragging switched imeadiately to how good they looked in his LR and how his wife liked them.
Poor guy.

OK, that's funny.
It took me two years to figure out what ROTFLMAO meant.

I think FM is better than AM.

Years ago one one of the BB members created a link to what for a lack of a better description was "The Klipsch BB membership recomended TOP 100 jazz albums of all time" or somthing similar to that. I think that was back on the old forum.
Does this link still exist? Who maintained it for us? Was it Allen? I wonder how it compares to the titles given in this thread!

I just bought a nice TT from Boomac. I want to record some of my LPs to CD. Does anyone know of some decent software for recording Analog to Digital formats? I'm looking for something that would also remove pops and cracks. Preferably shareware. Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

The one thing in that whole articlal that jumped out at me:
"Sound is the necessary medium for music"
I think some folks enjoy evaluating the sound others enjoy the music. There it is. 15pgs in two lines.

They aren't 620s. I guess you can't see it the picture but they are corner style cabinets. That gave me the depth to use the 511b, internal volume to tune the enclosure to 40hz and still fit them in the room.
Always wanted some 604Gs. bet they sond good in that cabinet.

Do these count?

Boomac,
Sent a PM about the Turn Table. Do you have pics?

While I'm confessing...
...I like Christmas music. I had the Eico FM tuner dialed into a station playing some old favorites earlier today.

Daddy Dee,
Thanks for the compliment.
As for the plant, believe it or not, the Lily was part of the original negotiation with the wife. The conversation went something like this:
Me: Hey check out these plans for the speakers I'm going to build.
Her: What is that thing sticking out the front?
Me : That's the horn.
Her: You gotta be kidding me, that thing is ugly! ...How big are they?
Me: Well they are going to be 28 inches across the front and 40 inches high.
Her: Your not putting those f___ing eyesores in my livingroom!!
Me: You'll like them when the lights are off.
Her: I don't care if they sound like God's own chorus of angels, the're not going in my living room.
Me: I already bought some of the parts I need.
Her: You what?!! What did you buy?
Me: The horn lens and the compression drivers.
Her: How much did you spend?
Me: More than I should have.
Her: Well where are you going to put them?
Me: In the corners.
Her: Then I'm going to put my peace lilys on them.
Me: No your not!
Her: Yes I am!!
Me: So I can build them then?
Her: Wait a minute...
Me: Yes!!!
I had the local glass shop custom cut two pieces of glass one for each speaker. The Lilys sit on the glass. They are watered in the bathtub and sit there until they are done leaking. Still makes me nervous, but it has been two years with no accidents yet.
I like the headphone idea. turned the Hi Fi off an hour ago. and here I sit in silence again.
