  1. If klipsch wanted to sell any heritage speakers the could have at least one store in the town of the home office even if they ran it. Even better have one store they operate which has every model the want to sell set up like it should be, at least their would be somewhere you know you could go. If you were going to spend thousands it would not be to crazy to make a trip to be sure what model/finish you may want.
  2. Eric clapton & BB king , Riding with the king Very good recording
  3. Mel brooks History of the world part 1
  4. my imho is better than your imho send them all here , need address
  5. forte ll 15'back------------they are about 15' apart
  6. Forte ll Never heard the original how does compare to the ll.
  7. Sorry forgot to add i also very much like the forte, i don,t feel like i miss ANYTHING with movies or music, can,t wait to have them all match.
  8. I asked the same question a while back and still not sure. I have the forte ll and my reciever only has a crosover at 100, the lfe is set to both mains and sub but i haven,t played a movie with low bass yet. With music with multi ch recordings< dvd >sounds better than just set to sub only so movies should also sound better. But like you what if a movie has lfe well below what the forte can handle what will happen, i don,t want to find out the hard way. Will very low bass or lfe well below what a speaker can handle do, will it just not try to reproduce it or will it bottom out the driver and or hurt it?

    db spl

    Thanks Colterphoto1 the 110 was just to see where it was on the reciever, could never listen like that. I will keep it down to not cause problems, and i do wear norton ear phones for protection when cutting grass or weadeating or anything loud to save what hearing i have left. If the family is home i am luckey to get it to 80db, it would have to be a song they really like. Also Colter if i diden't respect your opinion i would not read and believe what you say,you are one of the people here you can trust, you always try to help. Anyway look around your house you have a big enough collection to know what you are talking about. I feel like i should get a price from you when looking for speakers! A while back I had thought about asking if any were for sale no joke .

    db spl

    ok no one was home, so i took out the rs spl meter. I read a while back about different levels people perfered went back and could not find it. So i put on a music dvd, eagles latest , to check what i normaly listen at it turns out i like it around 100 to 105 db,for short periods of time. With meter set to slow-c the reading is 100db with the reciever set to -29 with the reciever set to -16 it's 110db and very loud. < yamaha rxv730 > The songs that i played were and < dirty laundry > the both have a good bit of bass does that raise the the reading more than something whith less bass? Does this volume sound way out of the average , i have been called half deaf but i think it is more in the higher freq. It really don't sound right till around 100db, I never claimed to be normal.
  11. Just a question what sounds better hersey or forte ll, i ask because the heresy is considered heritage?
  12. From reading all on this subject i will do the same. I was looking to get away from the synergy i have and not even hearing any other klipsch except rf7 rc7 rs7 i bought a pair of forte ll . I wasen't looking for forte ll but from what i read i coulden't go wrong at $325 ebay bin local. This was the only local i have ever seen and it was pointed out on this forum and came with a good refferal about the seller from this forum {fastlane thanks}. I love the forte ll ,my wife listened to them for about 10 seconds and said replace all the rest in the 6.1 you can't beat that. Now too find more of the same, thought about a academy center but for the price i can get 2 forte ll, and the center forte ll would sound better. So thanks to all again.
  13. This may be a stupid question but did anyone check with Klipsch? sorry if i missed something.
  14. Try new orleans or the gulf coast in july or aug, it is under 100 deg but the humidity is always very high, if you work outside you must take a break about 10 min out of 20 and drink all the water you can stand. I have to the south west where it was over 100 every day and it diden't feel this bad.
  15. Thanks for the help, i did look at bb and sears and when looking at 20 or so different tv's it's kind of hard so see a big difference because they are all get the same signal. They all look a little different, so many different brands and they is no telling how they are set. The quality of the picture we get now seems to differ from channel to chanel, never even close to dvd quality. The tv is a 65" toshiba it has a built in hd tuner, but we live at the very edge of the range of an outdoor antenna. I guess when they get a few more channels of hd we will have to try it, cable or dish who ever has the best deal at the time, from other threads it sounds like it will be some type of dish. Thanks for the help And WS65711 thanks for the offer to see your mits, i may have to take You up on the offer one day, thanks again.
  16. Was talking with my wife last night about switching from cable to sat dish if they come out with more hd. She said she doesn't think there would much of a difference in the picture, basic cable vs hd dish. Never seen hd on the new tv what do you think?
  17. dtel's wife here: We would be interested. Close enough to drive. I don't fly.
  18. We are still at home it went a little more east , Fastlane or at least his house ,if he left, should be very close, 20 miles or so to 145 Mph winds. Hope you left, good luck.
  19. Community new orleans blend, thick, if it don't wake you up you are dead. Like most food from new orleans it's not good for you but it taste good.
  20. Back down to a cat 2 will see what happens in am, don,t know where it's going yet. At least we get some notice unlike a tornado or earthquake.
  21. I only know of a couple of members fastlane and ygmn, if you haven't heard, watch the weather it looks like it will get a little windy and wet this week. If it gets to be above cat 1 or 2 we are out of here and we are about 60 miles north of new orleans, all we got from this last storm was about 60mph winds and 4 inches of rain this next storm should be alot more.
  22. Happy 4 th of july to all members.
  23. It look's like him to the right of woodog and the left of piranha.
  24. Good luck, hope it comes back as fast as it left. I never heard anything like that.
  25. Dr John title: N'AWLINZ DIS DAT OR D'UDDA CD 2004 EMI records My neice gave this to me for christmas just happened to listen to it again the other day and thought it would be a good one for this thread. Hard to explain what type of music it is but not jazz more of a blues kind of sound i guess. DR John kind of has a different type of sound , and this cd is a mix of a few different types of music even for him, hard to explain .
