The L series JBL's were the home equivalent of the studio series. I have a pair of L46's, my little brother has a pair of L56's and my dad has some 4311's which are the real studio speakers. Peace, Josh

Right you are, For some reason I must have been thinking of the 22B. Peace, Josh

The EVO also only has a 2 litre engine compared to the 2.5 in the STI and the 2.2 in the newer WRX's, all of them sporting a single turbo. I have seen a stock SRT-4 out at the track and it consistently beat the guys in the stock WRX's. I do know a guy however that runs mid 12's in his WRX, and that was before he installed a 50 shot of NOS. Having seen the STI and the EVO VIII(8) side by side I think that the interior of the STI beats is way nicer than the EVO's interior. The interior on my buddies '03 WRX is pretty nice as well. I was riding in my buddies WRX one morning about 7am as we were heading to the grocery store on our break in the middle of class. We got to the empty grocery store parking lot just as it had finished raining and he decided to give us a display of the all wheel drive capabilities. He gunned it and the car started to slide, but not for long, the car regained it's grip on the wet pavement and shot off in a new direction. This went on for a minute or two and we decided to go buy our snacks and head back to class. Oh well, just some random thoughts. Peace, Josh

I have a yamaha receiver that is rated at 75 watts per channel, five channels driven with a load of 8 ohms. This bad boy has cranked my heresy's up to around 110dB before and it didn't even seem to get that warm. I heartily recomend the yamaha htr-5540 for a receiver in the Low end receiver market. btw, do they still make the 5540 ? Peace, Josh

Ha ha, Netscape is your problem. IE works great. Peace, Josh

I've never been impressed with the wharfedale speakers that I've heard. A friend of mine raved about the "expensive"($800) wharfedale speakers he had. I finally got a chance to listen to them and thought they were some of the most uninvolving speakers I had ever witnessed. They sounded not unlike my JBL L46's if you were to first cover the tweeter with a piece of thick felt and set the crossover to provide the boomiest sloppiest most undefined bass possible with a midrange leftover from a weedwacker engine. That said I haven't heard any recently. Peace, Josh

Storing ammo in a different area from your guns is also a good idea. Peace, Josh

*edit* It sounds like a lot of work went into making that a PDF. It would be nice for Justin to get a little back for the time he spent putting it together. Btw, what software did you use to make the pdf? Cyclonecj, No problem Peace, Josh

Well? I don't know about calibrated, that might be too fancy a term. I balanced the speaker levels by turning it up until my mains read 95dB and then I set my othre speakers to match. Peace, Josh

Ok, Here is a link to a kind of funky piece of music that marvel wrote for a college film club movie. The track features marvel on everyting except bass, which was myself. It was for when the(sort of) bad guy shows up. Peace, Josh

Tom, I have an original pressing of the Dire Straits Brothers in Arms album. This album has always seemed very bright to my ears, in a good way of course. The snare drum and cymbals really snap, as well there being a very clean detail to the guitar playing. It would be interesting to hear a clean original copy next to a new 180g pressing. Peace, Josh

I thought I had some stuff I played on handy but It seems I was wrong. Maybe marvel could send me some and I could post it. It slipped my mind becuase it's back home and not with me at school, I also have a 1991 Fender Tele Plus, a gorgeous electric guitar with a bookmatched ash body w/ tabacco sunburst finish. Peace, Josh

Here's a link to one of my basses, My jazz bass. The bass is a seventies era Fender Jazz Bass with custom installed Seymour-Duncan Basslines pickups and active preamp. I run that baby through a Gallien-Krueger 700RB bass amplifier into a G/K 210RBH cabinet. The amp is actually a bi-amp setup with a 380watt amp for the low freq's and a fifty watt for the highs. It is designed with a four conductor neutrik speakon connector that allows me to run both the high and low power sections of the amp to my cabinet with only one cable. The cabinet has 2 10" 200 watt woofers and a small horn loaded tweeter. I also have a Godin A4 four string fretless semi acoustic bass which has a hollow maple body with a western red cedar top and an ebony fingerboard. I don't have any of my own pictures but here they are on the godin site. Rounding out my current collection of instruments is a 1998 Taylor 310 six string acoustic guitar with sapele mahagony back and sides, sitka spruce top and a bound ebony fretboard. Peace, Josh

Imaging Science Foundation. They do video calibration and from what I hear they do it well. Peace, Josh

According to the specs on the klipsch website the heresyI goes down to 50 Hz and the heresyII only goes to 63Hz. This makes me curious as to what they actually sound like side by side. Peace, Josh

I have a KSC-C1 as my center between my heresy's and it does alright. Obviously the heresy and the synergy are to completely different sounding speakers but I don't watch movies that much. Typically I'm blasting classic rock on just the heresy's Peace, Josh

I think it would depend on what year your cornwalls are. The heresyII have a 1.5" diaphragm compression driver for the midrange instead of the 2" diaphragm in the Original heresy. I would think this would have an effect on the timbre throughout the midrange. I think you would want to get the model that had similar to whatever your cornwalls have. Just my $0.02 Peace, Josh

There was a post a little while back by DJK where he said: "Here is a mind blower: Audax HT300Z2 + 15" PE passive (add 200gms) + Heresy + EV Interface A eq = 32hz at 98dB/W The Audax has 4X the x-max than the K22 does. It is also 2dB more efficent. Make a new back panel and mount the passive on it. Add a 50µF cap in parallel with the woofer (with a type E network). I can usually find the EV eq on eBay for ~$20" Might be fun to try someday. I actually kind of like the bass from the heresy the way it is, but it would be nice to not need a subwoofer as much. Peace, Josh

A buddy of mine used to play paintball on a team and had a marker(let's not call them guns) that he had spent around $1300 on. He had upgraded from co2 to hydrogen had a custom rifled barrel installed and a carbon fiber tank as well as some other mods to the trigger assembly. All that money and he wasn't even that good Peace, Josh

"How can an idiot be a policeman?" Peace, Josh

I've heard of the "z" brackets before. This way worked just fine and I didn't have to get anything new I just finished the second one this evening. The high end doesn't seem quite so beamy now. I don't lose as much of the crispness on the high end when I move to the side. This will be nice when I have people over to watch movies and listen to music because I can now sit on the end of the couch and not feel as though I have left the sweet spot far behind. The other mods I have performed on these speakers are damping the K-700 and adding a piece of 3/4" mdf to the back of the cabinet to cut down on unwanted resonance. The damping of the midrange seems to help the mids get out of the speaker, they sound more direct and less distorted. The added back piece seems to tighten up the bass somewhat. I'm still curious as to why klipsch would only use a 1/2" piece of plywood for the backs of the heresy. Next will be to build double thickness cabinets out of 3/4" 13 ply birch. I don't think those would resonate too much. Unfortunately this is gonna have to wait until I have money for the wood($$) and a place to build them. Peace, Josh

Nice pics, It looks like you guys had a great time. btw, Andy also built my heresy's, of course he built a ton of speakers while he worked there but mine are great. Peace, Josh
