  1. TheBes " You see I haven't even mentioned the big score yet " The TWINS ! [Y][Y]
  2. Seti I hate to break the news to you but it would take alot more than a wax for you to fit in in that group ! [:$]
  3. Looks like some of the big MGM speakers with multiple drivers on each horn. Wonder what Roy would say about these, what do more drivers on each horn improve ?
  4. Sounds like they enjoyed it, my wife probably would say the same thing, they can babysit big kids too ! Didn't know you had that setup ? I love Forte's, Cornwalls and ............. the list is long. I have always wondered what does " sancti ludovici " mean ?
  5. Congrats to Mr & Mrs Pickey, Glenn and Verna great job. Now take your mom and wife down there and show them one of the top 4 HT's around ! [H] You never did say, what does your Mother think of the Home Theater ? Does she watch movies or music with y'all ?
  6. OK TheEAR, you can't fool us you know you want / NEED one, and you know it's on that list of things you have to have ! I'm surprised you haven't caused an avalanche up there in the frozen north with all subs you have ! I think I have figured it out you want all those subs so when you get OLD and can't hear anymore you can still listen / FEEL the music, kind of like listening in braille, can't hear it but can feel it.[]
  7. That's true OB even though I watched the games through the season I never expected them to get that far. After 30+ years and only making it to the playoffs once it's like being conditioned to not expect much. For many years the saying was " maby next year " but to tell you the truth it may work out next year, with a few changes and alot of luck ! But now I would like to see the Colts win for Peyton and his dad ,and the head coach, I always liked him as a head coach. And of course the rest of the team and Indy, they have worked hard to get where they are and somewhat like the Saints got little or no respect around the league. Especially by the dumba$$ sports announcers, all they ever talked about was Peyton good or bad , like he was the only person on the team. How can you talk bad about any team with that record ? Thank you Amy " Peyton "......You could write a book on my mistakes, typing and otherwise !
  8. Nice, I had seen the pictures and it looked very nice, they would have to be pleased with the way it turned out, it looks great. That's funny about the sub, I do not want to hear it, can't afford it !. Bet it will scare many people while watching movies. I would love to see the faces of people who have no idea what a real HT sounds, much less what that sub could do.[:|]
  9. Ok I'm going to CHEAT , ................................ Free CWlll' from a VERY generous company, Klipsch. Free HK 930 from a VERY generous form member Arfandbark. I can't thank both of them enough ! Great bang no $ REALLY PRICELESS $ The best sound I have ever had, and I listen to it EVERY day !
  10. Well there was one good game, Bears / Saints was not even close. Now for the COLTS to beat Da Bears in 2 weeks. The Saints are out, but Payton's family is from here, Paytons dad almost got killed playing for the saints, he got hit more than a crash test dummy.
  11. In a round about way he bought from Klipsch anyway still ok ! Look at the very bottom of the Energy web page !
  12. Nice museum, The museum has a listening area where several speaker types can be compared for the quality of their sound reproduction. The speaker types are Heresy Klipschorn La Scala Cornwall The audio input can be switched between any of the speaker pairs.
  13. If those two things happen they should win, hope your right. Probably have high blood pressure watching , still can't belive they got this far.[Y]
  14. I intentionally avoided the question in my first answer, now the truth.....BUY NEW HERITAGE ........they will outlast you !
  15. To be fair to you, go find some some and listen. You will be the one to listen to them everyday, find the sound you like. NONE of the ones you listed have any problems sounding great, especially compared to other brands in the same price range. And there are many people on this forum who have the same speakers you listed, and picked those models because of something they liked about them. What did you have before, and what did you not like about it ? What kind of music, how loud, how big is the room ? Others will ask these questions anyway to help. Welcome to the forum
  16. Unlike some of the old cranky buzzards lurking around here. [] No I hope y'all make it, I would like to meet.
  17. To check you out, they don't want to bring just anybody to there city......... also Credit checks, criminal profile, racial profile, religious profile, drug screen, Political affiliation, order magazines in your name , sell names to a mailing list, Identity fraud, fake eBay accounts, acquire fake passports, sell your name to illegal citizens, female impersonators, that " Kathy Mason thing" may have been before you joined the forum though, OR they may just want to make a list ? JUST KIDDING........I HAVE KNOW IDEA REALLY.........just giving you a hard time ! [] am i in trouble ! [A]
  18. " This is a great forum that I've used for a lot of research before managing to grab a pair of '87 Cornwall II's " Good choice of speakers and a good deal, the bad part is now you will be addicted, it may be too late already. Smart move, there is a lot of good advice here, and it's free thanks to Klipsch.[] Welcome to the posting part of the forum, as far as the tweaking part your talking about, I will let others who know better answer that.
  19. Good Idea, if nothing else, Maby let any dealer who will stock Heritage have a little notice in the new announcements section at the top of the forum page ? I wonder if he has ever looked at this forum ?
  20. I have no Idea about the 7.1 , from what I have read it will only be a very limited " at first " , and only on the new HD DVD's. Well with Forte ll's used is the only choice, but all the Heritage are very reliable so if they were not really abused they should be fine. Roc, when you get all your Forte ll's set up and balanced with a DB meter they are going to blow you away, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 it makes no difference it will sound great. " Do you really think the KG-4s will be OK as side surrounds? " .................... I don't know maby, But I have a feeling you will not want to use them, give it a shot you already have them. Just remember in 7.1 the rear has the same signal as each other and the sides have their own tracks, if I remembered that correctly ? I have my center and the three rears sideways, and raised. The center is on top of an entertainment center I built around a 65" TV, so its about 6' 6" off the floor tilted down slightly. The 3 rear's are about 7' off the ground tilted to the center of the room using heavy metal brackets, like 2 arms holding the speaker sideways. The room is 18' deep and 24' wide, and the horns don't have a problem filling the room while laying down. Even when I get the very rare chance to really crank it up it never sounds strained or like it's having any problem, and the " one " center Forte ll does great. I don't have the best hearing from 35 years of sometimes loud jobs but the voices on movies are great, in the past with other speaker setups I always had a problem sometimes making out what was being said. These 6 Fortes are the best HT and Concert DVD combination I have ever Had, or heard anywhere. Of course I have plans to hear an all La Scalas and an all Klipschorn HT this year so I would bet that I will hear much better, no doubt . You will love it ! { SORRY TO HYJACK THIS THREAD }
  21. Check the setting on the menu on the Pioneer, make sure it's set to send a signal to the sub. If not just leave it on and see if it still shuts down, is the sub new ? Also if the volume is set very low it may not be enough to set off the sub. Just guessing !
  22. Good advice, and 25 WPC don't sound like much but with those speakers it is enough to get loud, with a great sound .
  23. That about sums it up in one paragraph !
  24. " At very loud volumes as I walk around the room it sounds pretty good. My Velodyne sub is 12" 130w sitting in a corner. When I turn the sub off the bass really drops off. So much so that I feel a real loss and must have the sub on. My front speakers are about 13' apart in the center of the 24' wall with the sub in one of the corners " Hate to sound like a jackass but if the bass doesn't really drop off when you turn off the sub if not working ! SORRY couldn't help myself . I listened to many people around here in the last few years about " All matching speakers " and it did seem to make alot of sense. So I took there advice, and now I am one of them. I have no doubt that if you try it you will feel the same way, I have not heard anyone that tried it and never liked it ! I had thought about an Academy, but when I looked at the prices compared to a pair of Forte ll's and the Forte ll's were better , it was a easy choice. Thats the reason I got another Forte ll for a center, It's a perfect match. Like Nike says " just do it " , you will not be sorry. Hate to sound like a broken record, but I am sold 100 % ! [Y]
