They fit in a small house !

Dtel, how do they sound at low volumes? I'm planning on replacing my Dahlquist M908's in my office which are 8" 2 way with dome tweeter. They sound exceptionally smooth. Room is 14x14 and its usually levels where I can converse on the phone. Tried Heresies in there and they were too 'shouty'. Michael I might not be the best person to ask that , I have a little problem with hearing some mid and high frequencies at low volume, they just sound a little dull, but to me everything does a low levels .[] I need a little volume to hear the upper half, my wife says i am deaf, somewhat true.

Sounds like your doing great, very nice to hear, take it easy and recover fast. Sound like a new man !

Really nice pictures, is that you in the first ?

It does feel a bit strange when yours is the only name !

Glad to see you back OB ![] GO HERITAGE.....GO HERITAGE.....GO HERITAGE.......

Happy birthday to come, glad you have some Forte's I think you will like them, hope you are suprised by the sound.[^]

Thanks, I don't care what it looks like if it sounds good, they don't have to match.

Now from the Rf 7 owners.................. As Michael would say it's a set collect them all !

Thanks that helps alot, had no idea. The price on that mc2505 is $525 is that about a ballpark average price or is that cheap ? Just planing ahead. Thanks

Almost forgot I am not looking to buy now so if anyone is interested in that mc ? http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1167588141

I don't have one but I am wondering what would be a good preamp for that amp. What would be the least expensive way to go and upgrade later? Just looking at options for after the holidays to drive the Clll's. I had thought about tubes but that's a little to much $ right now being I would want around 20 to 30 wpc if tubes. And from all that I read the Mc 2505 or an old HK 630 or 930 would probably make me happy. I do like McIntosh and it would cost more that the HK but it sounds like general opinion is the Mc sounds better. I also took in to consideration I know 0 about tube amps and their prices. I thought the McIntosh would be much more expensive and was not considering one until I ran across one for $525 in good condition, made me think. If that is a ballpark price on one I may go that route, although when I am ready they will probably much more ? Just thinking about what to do after the 1st of the year....Opinions................No 2 or 3 wpc please

Good to hear been waiting for some good news .

I made it a point to not to say disco, but that's what it was . If you went to see live music it was rock or jazz but almost all the clubs were disco. It was not the disco I was chasing! What's strange is on dish network there is about 150 music channels , flipping thru them you find a bunch of music that sounds just like disco, but it's called everything but disco.

If you worked in New Orleans East, do remember Sound Trek Audio, they had a store across Read rd from the mall. They also had a store on the service road in Metairie. I loved those stores, you never knew what kind of stuff they were going to get, it always was changing and they had good prices. I miss real audio stores that don't just stick with just a few brands and never change or try something new.

dukesy[:$], seti, mark1101. it was an honor to work for pwk........ boy How was it to work with him day to day, did he have the patience to explain when someone didn't understand what he was saying or doing or did it aggravate him ? Just asking because most people here did not have a chance to meet him. It will probably never happen but it would be great if the people who really knew him and worked with him would write a book even if short, reading the other book now. thanks

Just checked the Cornwall lll ....22" wide and 2 1/4" high, the shelf on the inside goes in 7" tuned a little different ? The bass speaker is 9" up on the motherboard, that could also why they changed the port size ?

You did good enjoy them, Like they said If it sounds good to you it is good. What you have is much better than 90% of what the average person would buy. Most people on this forum would not be considered average![]

A few bumper stickers and a couple of backpacks came in today. The bumper stickers were a little bigger than I thought, they look very nice, and the backpacks are made really well, can't wait to see some of the new stuff. []

We still have the Ground Pat'i restaurants. And they still have the great burgers & beer. But the open reel decks and the amps are long gone (along with the Heresy's). Some of the older locations still had the glass case built in to the wall where the audio equipment used to reside, now empty. I'm sure all of those will disappear with the post-K remodeling. Dave Oh yea I remember Ground Pati restaurants but I don't remember the sound. I ate ate at 3 different stores over a 2 year period and got very sick each time and never went back. The food was very good but something happened that was not good 3 times, may not even been them, could have been something else I had that day ?

I was single too...I was 1! Hey that makes me feel better.[] Back to the retirement home now !

Re: Why do audiophiles claim to hear the inaudible? #1 To make them feel special or better than the average person. #2 To justify the cost of their equipment looking for that last 10 % of sound quality.

Well the person playing the music probably never had anything to do with the setup. The amps and whatever else they had for the most part was built in to the wall in a rack with just a couple of turntables in front of the DJ. I would guess the clubs owned the equipment and just had someone DJ. DJ's back then were a little different than many today, now it seems they just like to hear themselves talk. The reason I thought of the amps was back then it was like , just add more speakers to get more sound. I recall one club called the Dungeon in the French Quarter that didn't open till around 2 am. It was small and had no sign, just a alley and steps in the rear up to the club. I had found out about it from a bartender, it was where most of the working people in the Quarter went they got off of work. This place had the best sound of any club, it was about 30' wide and 40' long with a bar at each end and tons of speakers facing down from the ceiling. Some of the places in Metaire were huge and had several large rooms and at least 15 or 20 speakers in each room , how did they get the sound right with so many speakers in one room? I guess it was kind of like today, whatever place looks the best and has the best sound it where the crowd is. Back then ( or today )I did not know much about amps and thought McIntosh was more of a pro amp being they could drive so many speakers to such a volume. These places were making a lot of money they could have used whatever they wanted. I had met an owner of one of these clubs and he said he would build a new club about every 6 months with a different name and theme, and when the people got tired of one or something new and cool comes along the crowd would move to the new club. Then we go back and remodel the old one back to something different to keep up with the trend and get the crowd back. Smart man, and I'm sure very rich now.

I remember about 30 years ago ( when I was single ) when we would go out to clubs I would always walk around and find the DJ just to look at all the amps and the setup that was pushing all the speakers in the club. And 9 out of 10 times it was one brand, McIntosh, it was easy to spot with the meters and that famous McIntosh writing. Back then, where we went was the French Quarter in New Orleans or what was called Fat City in Metaire La. Was that the amp to have back then or was it just a good sales rep for the area ? I Wonder what ever happened to all of those huge amps when they closed or changed to something else?

Boy if I just had one of those switch box contraptions and some more experienced ears we could compare Forte ll's , Forte's and Cornwall lll's !
