OP and responses are from 2007, do you have another question?

I bought a set of Coaster brand theater recliners (4-pack that fits together in a small arc) NIB from a local fellow who mistakenly thought he could fit two rows in his smallish theater room. They've worked great for me. Only three positions- upright, slightly reclined and fully reclined. I watch my 42" from all three angles alternately. Very comfortable for such inexpensive seating. Leather and leathermatch materials, manual cable release type mechanism. They came with 4 of the Aura bass shakers that I've never installed but might one day. I've sat in a friend's large, costly electrically reclining, very cushy theater seats that hurt my back after only one showing because they were too soft. These have enough support and are slightly smaller scale, yet still fit my roadie-frame very comfortably. If I had to do it again I'd seriously look at these same models - I like them that much! I think I paid $750 for the four, which at the time was about 1/2 the new price (about 8 years ago), the same thing is probably about $2K for a four-pack these days.

You're quite welcome. Not to embarrass you, but the reward for me when giving an audition of Klipsch speakers is seeing music move someone I've just met to the point of tears on the very first song. That Justin Hayward/John Lodge number was just amazing on the Cornwall III's! M

K42 is the original yea. The other could be an older type K42, which would have been and EVM-12

yes, JimJimbo has them now. They were local to Indy from the Trader newpaper - probably got them in the 80's they had survived a house fire stacked in a closet for storage, were half blown up and smelled like a bonfire for a couple of years. CWO with pretty torn up edge banding as I recall.

Brenda from Michigan came down with her nephew and we had a very enjoyable listening session with some CD's she brought to audition them. Congratulations, enjoy and Welcome to the Madness! Michael

Set up quite a large PA for our northside's CarmelFest last night. First song out of the box to test the PA was Roundabout. Then a band later played some Zep so I was in heaven man.

Bahamas are cool, just watch out for the Straw Market, they will hound you until you buy something. I use a guy called IslandCharters when I'm there, rent a nice boat and captain for $75pp for a 6 hour snorkel adventure to various sites, spend time on a completely deserted beach etc. You've got to get off the beaten path. Also the Monsters of Rock go to small islands in Bahamas (there's a LOT of them) and set up a stage during their rock cruises. They have power, bars, showers etc so it's the best of modern conveniences and that blue blue water..

Groovy, will give this a shot when I know I'll be home for a few days to give a listen. Thanks for whatever you call them.

Thanks to Dtels, I know the joy and beauty of cruising. Lets see.. been on 9 since 2011!

I had acquired these thinking I would build an all-Cornwall home theater, later kept them for a potential LS/CW theater, with these black lovelies serving LG surround duty. But now I have KPT904 and KPT250 for a 6.1 channel setup. Being so desperately dark - they'd be a very nice set of L+R for some guy who loves the all black look or just wanting the speakers to not reflect light from the screen. I've been through 4 full sets of Home Theater speakers and I haven't even built the room yet.... geesh.

Somebody already coming on Sun to give a listen, if you're interested in these give me a shout. Movie would have been around 2007, that's when they were manufactured and when I purchased them.

I have here serial numbers 1 and 2 of CWIII, black ash, in cartons. They have a bit of travel on them, being used in a Hollywood movie (would have to do research on this but the cartons are marked for what set/scene they were used in). I purchased them as early samples when I worked at Klipsch. They did travel back and forth from my house to the Indy headquarters a couple of times, somewhere along the line a corner was pushed in a bit but I've glued the veneer chip back on. Very low hours, I only had them hooked up in the gallery/showroom here for a bit, so mechanically like new. Tops, sides, and backs are clean, no scratches, plant rings etc. They have spent 99% of their lives in factory cartons. Time for someone to enjoy them! You may notice that they do not have the Jubilee pie slice badges. That's because these were so early in the production cycle that the new badges weren't available yet, so they used the old Heritage copper badges. Yes they are the correct grilles, with the woofer cutout higher, and the grill material is perfect. I have never heard of a pair like these. Yet they are production models with authentic Klipsch labels on the back decreeing their early vintage in this series. These are currently in the way, in my living room, ready to hook up and give a listen. You can even demo them with my LS and CW if you'd like. A bit of Heritage History here, these mark the reintroduction of the Heritage series by Klipsch, a day many of us thought might never come. A DEAL at $2200! MSRP of $4000. PM me.

congratulations but for live sound, the MCM stacks should smoke those Jubilees and, properly set up, handle far more power. Michael

what? what did I do now? If this is about admittance to the BS forum or other 'niceties' I've been in and out of that mess more than you can imagine. I used to call Amy and tell her to give me a 30-day 'time out' so my blood pressure could return to normal. No thanks. Yeah at one point there were 150 Klipsch speaker boxes here. That's just ridiculous, I've been culling the herd this past couple of years. CW III s/n 1 and 2 are going up for sale next.

Regarding the issue of 'meaningless' posts, I've spoken out about the RTM thread and post counts. I'm not against useful discussions about music on here - after all, many times I've had to walk away from the Forum realizing that I was spending all my time talking about and fiddling with the machinery that makes music, whilst sitting in silence (like right now for instance). But just saying 'listening to Elton John' doesn't do much for anyone, sorry if that offends but it does seem a rather simplistic way to run up a post count that's worth nothing. Post count and a token will get you a ride on the subway. I'm not in charge here and never will be. Everyone is better off that way.

Post count doesn't really matter a hoot to me. I amassed many of mine while working in Tech Support for Klipsch. At the time we were supposed to spend 15% of our working day answering queries on the Forums. That's an hour a day, plus all the other time I spent on here learning about and discussing Klipsch speakers both before and after my 18 month tenure with the company. OCD - you betcha - but that's a lot better than some other habits I've since extracted myself from..

1.5 was a term I coined regarding Klipsch's manufacturing 'oddities' in between major runs of speakers, for whatever reasons. CW 1 with K52/K601 for instance. Normal CW would have a K55 midrange driver, CWII used the K52. In order to accomodate the different driver, a snoot had to be affixed to the driver so it would thread to the horn, and crossover modifications were made. Modifications made by others outside the factory, in my opinion, do not fit the .5 nomenclature. More can be found on this in Groomlakearea51's exhaustive writings.

just plug em in mang!

There were pro photographers on board. This last time out with Monsters of Rock I was granted a Media badge and was hoping for one on this Nov's CTTE3.

from Wiki: One of the best-known multiple-necked bass guitars is that used by Chris Squire (of Yes) for the song "Awaken." This is a replica of a guitar built by Wal for Roger Newell of the English Rock Ensemble. Squire's original triple-necked bass guitar had a four-string fretted neck, a four-string fretless neck, and a six-string tuned in octaves (tuned to aA-dD-gG). So the top neck isn't a six-string guitar at all, but a 'three string' doubled and tuned in octaves, so it would play somewhat like an 8-stringed bass, which gave him higher octaves and that doubling effect used at one portion of the song. Jon Anderson also uses a small harp during the song.

That triple neck bass was constructed so he could play the track Awaken live. Chris played the bass pedals along with it. In recent years he didn't take the actual Moog Taurus setup, but had a custom pedal board with the sounds sampled into it. During Starship Trooper especially (the part I demo my THX subs to you guys with), it often felt like the floor of the arena was just dropping away. That track is a true test of the musicality of a subwoofer system. If you can hear individual notes you've got a great setup.

That's a bass rig too - 8x10, Marshall 4x12, two 18" bins, and a couple other cabinets up top. If you sat in front of Chris at a show, it kicked you in the sternum all night and rattled your bones when he stepped on the Moog Taurus bass pedals.
