    Oh - and about that synthetic oil thing. The same people that buy synthetic oil are the same ones that believe in, and purchase, expensive speaker cables. 'Nuff said.

    Synthetic lube also keeps GE-F110 engines in F-16 aircraft spinning. The hydraulic fluid for the landing gear and flight controls is also synthetic. I worked them for about twenty years, but I don't recall the Air Force purchasing exotic speaker cables...

    It's 0424 here and I'm working. My job is performed at night.

    The forum keeps me awake because no matter how long you do it, the old body just never gets used to night work....

    Also watching "Full Metal Jacket" on the shop TV to help keep me awake.

    How you know what korean girl say, you follow me into bar!?!?

    I will roger up for the older Yamaha Klipsch mating was a harsh if not shrill one. Now having said that newer Yamaha stuff does not present the same problem. The old mantra of stay away from Yamaha if you have horns is no longer an applicable statement. It may be a little brighter than some other brands but across the boards I believe the newer Yamaha has a more neutral sound. Also look into your source components. I use a Yamaha RX-V3300 and it is nowhere near the once harsh sound of the Yamaha of old. It has excellent DACs for HT and does an admirable job on two channel as well. Granted it not a McIntosh set up or a Peach/VRD rig but for a receiver it does two channel surprisingly well.

    I'm surprised the Denon doesn't give you satisfying results. Is it bass you're missing? You might try an HK 430. 630, 730, or 930. They can be had for $50 - $150, depending on seller. maybe someone on this forum. I had some KG 3.2's in my garage with a Teac receiver and they rocked. Hope you get what you get what you want from your 4.2's. If not, sell them to me. I miss my 3.2's.

    I'm currently driving my KG4's as rear channel with a Yamaha RXV2400 7.1 receiver. Sounds great! Prior to my Yamaha purchase I've used a Marantz 2220b (almost too small) and a Marantz 2385 (overkill!). Powerful bass, mellow sound. If you're staying 2 channel they are worth considering along with the abovementioned HK's.

  7. Your plan sounds good. I had to transport my ChorusII's 4 hours from Seoul to Taegu (Korea) in my VW Golf. I laid them on their side, fronts toward each other, rears to the outside. Padded them best I could. Didn't lay them on the back out of concern for the passive radiator. Survived the trip fine.

  8. BTW Michael, how ya been? You was in the dumps earlier....

    I'll look at that after I do the YPAO. I finally moved my system into the living room (with a lot of help from my beer buddy who came up to visit in order to hide from his wife).

    My system is a mix of 8ohm (chorus) and 6ohm (KG4). You think this would work for me?
