" I fell in love with the K-Horn\Belle\LaScala fully horn-loaded sound (especially that sexy fat midrange horn) a while back " Now thats not really a hard thing to do is it....... Talk to the wife see what she says, or not ,i don't know how yall work that kind of stuff[] If you think about it it may be cheaper in the long run to head in the that direction a little a time than have a bunch of changes in speakers till you get there IF that is what you really want. If everybody could have figured out what they wanted from the start there would not had spent half the money they did.

If you can't fit a forte ll it should be an Academy, that is the next best match by far. I now have 4 Forte ll's and no center, center is set to play thru mains. One more pair of forte ll's and it will be 6.1 or i could get an Academy and be 5.1 for the same price, Im not looking for Academy .

Ebay forte ll's bin $450 small problems with passive radiator ,but still a good deal. Just happen top see it on fleabay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Klipsch-Forte-II-2-speakers-pair-Oak_W0QQitemZ5871495286QQcategoryZ61378QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Before i started reading on this forum 3 years ago i never thought about timbre matching, maby efficiency because some speakers played louder than others. But after reading i bought all timbre matched speakers ,Synergy very big difference with matching timbre ,so i figured you guys are right about this i might as well take some more advice. So switched to Forte ll's[advice from the forum again]. Forte ll's sounded much better than the Synergy's . Ok i have taken the advice of this forum and you all are batting 1000 ,so it seems the latest direction is all identical speakers. Well you guys are correct again, to me there is as much of a change from non timbre matching to all timbre matching as there is in all identical speakers ,there is that much difference. With 3 Forte ll's across the front it's like a wall of sound no changes in any way,you have to walk up to it to even hear if the center is on there is no change from mains to center,no gaps in sound or changes in any way, like there are speakers between the center and mains. Ok, this is long enough already. It's a darn good thing i didn't have to pay for all this advice,or just keep switching speakers to finally find out ,coulden't afford that route. " IT MATTERS, LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE ,THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT " Thanks Again

http://home.earthlink.net/~ivol/klipsch_cornwall/klipsch_date_codes.htm Here you go Moon i bookmarked it i hope this is the one you want.

Welcome, and don't blame us if you end up with more klipsch, it's kind of a cycle,at least it sounds like a good excuse at least. If these sound this good the next ones up the line must sound better? No matter how good they sound you will always want more.

We have been to many, not sure if we can make it this year, if we do we will probably go to the french quarter to join the rest of the nuts. If people here on the forum knew what really goes on down there they would really try to make it, especially if it is not cold.

I think opera,disco,and rap causes the biggest tumors.

Looked at the website, very nice pits, might have to borrow a few ideas. That is very close to what i am building, they are a lot more fancy than mine but i only have a couple hundred in mine. I book marked the site because they sell some accessories i may want to add. They are expensive but will last a lifetime and the bugs have been worked out already. Me i am to cheap ,and many years ago worked in the shipyard so i can weld and burn and like building things like this,especially if it involves FOOD. By the time you get home after this weekend you will probably smell like smoke/bbq yourself,does the wife go also. Have fun

Almost forgot very nice pit alot more fancy than what i am building,bet it works great.

Oh yea my pick of the two is gumbo, I have never seen it made the same way twice everybody seems to make it different, never met one i never liked thou. But as i was reading your post my mouth was watering, I love smoked meat,Brisket,pork,turkey almost anything thats been through a smoker. I have seen these competitions on tv these people get very serious about there cooking. I like smoke flavor and bbq so much i am building a large smoker/bbq pit, I started with a 6' long propane tank and built a firebox on one end and a upright smoker box on the other, with thermometers on the bbq part and on the smoker part. I wanted a good design so i copied some i got off websites, and of course if you want a good pattern the best come from Texas. I have a few more changes to make ,the exhaust on top of the smoker box was a little to small, about 3'' it didn't let out enough air/smoke to keep the fire working correct. The air intake has a damper is on the firebox door and exhaust damper is on top of the smoker box, but the one on top could be left open and it was not large enough to keep a correct intake on the other end. As you know the wood must burn just right or it leaves a bitter taste. Also on the part between the firebox and smoker box i want to add some propane burners so if i just want to bbq something fast i don't have to build a fire,also propane in the firebox to light the wood. This sucker weighs about 1000lbs so i put it on wheels so it can be moved around, dragged around. Haven't worked on it in a while really need to finish it. Sorry for the long post, sounds like a fun weekend would love to go to one of these shows one day thou .

I just noticed they added that channel is it just for the Olympics or is it here to stay,I only seen ice hockey on it so far?

Clapton SRV Buddy Guy Joe Walsh BB King Albert King ZZ top [older stuff] George Benson [older stuff] And many more i can't think of.

Thanks ,had a feeling it was something like that. If all the rest would go thru that much trouble or at least film and broadcast in HD everything would look great,It's like they are fighting to keep the old standard. You would think the tv makers would be pushing more. If people are watching things they normally wouldn't just because it's in HD it proves they want HD and they make $ on commercials so every channel to jump to HD has more people watching and watching commercials also.

Been out of town for a few days, ate to much food on vacation, time to take a break from overeating . I wasn't going to be the one to bring this topic back to the top but, after someone else did my vote is for hardwood over carpet.

I also found the 1080i looks better, tried both settings,Toshiba 65H84 with Dish network and Voom [ leftover Voom channels] thru DISH. Although some HD channels look better than others could be the content or the cameras ? How do they take old movies and show them in HD? Some of the old movies look like real HD and the movies were made way before HD ,If you rented some these old movies even the DVD would look terrible,how do they clean them up so much?

If this is true all Michael has to do is put a ad in the paper listing all of his Klipsch ,and they will be waiting in line for him.

This might make the news, Flamethrowers and 40x60 tents don't mix to well,and people running around screaming from fire ants. Sounds like a Chevy Chase movie "Weekend in hope" ,and many more characters than the movies. Alcohol,tents,flames,geeks,nuts from all over the country,Wait if Klipsch thinks about it they might back out ,Bad press?

Sorry to hear that but if at all possible try ,many would like to meet you. If nothing else wanted to hear more stories about the b____ party.[]

Trey I'm with Seadog on this no experience but will be willing to help, Just let me know. Don't drink much so "should" be standing well enough to help at any point .

Is the K-77 the only one it can replace without problems, is it much bigger than the K-75-K1, and to much of a change for the crossover ? Forte ll

Sorry to hear that but that would have one looong boat trip.[]

I seen it to and went looking for other pictures because i only see them sticking out? I couldn,t picture how it could work sticking outward, but i am not in the business of making speakers. All i could find was the term inverted dust covers. Also i didn't know what knife edge really meant,thought both sides met at one point in the rear? edit: I went back and looked again and at first i thought they changed the picture,looked away and then they were the other way !

So how high is the top of the speaker now ?

What about a bottle of Crown Royal from 1952. Or a 1 gallon bottle of Old Grand Dad at least 25 years old. Had both about 25 years, grandfather gave me both not a drop missing, I do like Crown Royal but never tasted the other.Does time make them better?
