  1. There is something down there, even with average music there can be sounds in the sub range. Infrasound or even not that deep can be heard trying a sub off and on, what it is I don't know but it's there.
  2. But not as pretty as a nice lamp or table or other "decoration" But I put up with it since my wife wanted them, the things I put up with.
  3. That's just silly to have something like that in your living room. Wouldn't a nicely decorated room be much better/ prettier ? You youngsters these days, some little bookshelf speakers at most would be much more decorative, and fit in with the overall aesthetics which everyone knows is more important than sound.
  4. Nope, way to small, 4 of those would be a little closer. I don't think so, still way to small for a 1202, must be something new. But a horn so I like it already.
  5. I removed the link, if not it would be spam. If spam move on.
  6. Besides being tired of half of the back space used by the speakers I always wondered how bad it would be to be hit in the head by a flying Heresy or two. But I did take the chance for a couple years.
  7. I was going to ask if the upstairs tenant had an annoying whiney wife or partner but that wouldn't be PC so I didn't. Glad you got it worked out, well done.
  8. I remember hearing a story a long time ago that PWK put some speakers in a friends car, Not sure if that was true or not. Around 2005 we had a Jeep SUV and had a pair of Heresy's in the back, sounded really good. After a couple of years I took them out, it took up alot of space and probably not the safest thing if we crashed.
  9. That's funny, bet it sounds much better, but will be broken in roughly with bad music, sound like my dad now. It's strange we never listen to music when we drive, an occasional football game when driving back from Hope on a Sunday. I don't know why as much as we both listen at home, might have to start listening.
  10. Very true, it's probably most of the reason I am still alive.
  11. For me at least, I have great speakers, but nothing to get excited about with amp or preamp and still have amazing sound, I would put against 90% of what's out there. imo But a not so good recording can ruin any setup. I listen for the music and not the equipment, if it works I am good, no reason to change. Is there better, sure but there always will be, so I just enjoy the music, if it sounds amazing which is easy to hear, I'm good. I have chased better sound for 50 years and now I just enjoy the best I have ever had.
  12. Yes it's just you......again. OK, no your right I see a few things and think the same thing so I don't get them. But I did know a girl like that once.
  13. 1 Recording quality 2 Speakers 3 Everything else
  14. Welcome If it were me I would first open it up and clean all connectors, unplug one at a time and clean the terminals. I say this because I had a driver cut out as you said and the terminal looked perfectly clean and was tight but somehow did not make a good connection. I guess it was some form of film on the connections and even know they were really tight to get off it was not making contact. After cleaning it has worked fine and never had another problem. It's a a cheap/free way to rule out something simple.
  15. Thanks, it kind of went through a few changes lately, just some updating after years. Some lighting changes in the bar and mostly in the garden around it plus a few new coats of clear on everything.
  16. Didn't notice the last line of his post, but it's gone now.
  17. Since this came back up. Just for the record the Heresy's are still doing fine out there, nothing has been done to them.
  18. He has been like for a long time, cousin joe likes to work the crowd, it's better than paul he likes to throw poop at people.
  19. OK I know I'm old but what is this "realfeel" thing about ? Is the woke way of describing the weather ? If you tell the temp, humidity and wind speed you can guess how it's going to feel, or is it for the same people who require that metal tag on my woodstove that say Caution Hot?
  20. I felt the same way right up until I had them changed, not a small difference but a big difference anyone could hear and mine were very old. I guess it all comes down to how far out of spec they are. My ears are not great and I heard a huge difference with mine, it was AA crossovers on a different speaker but still really old capacitors which is the point here. Caps are not hard to change if one can solder and they do not have to be silly prices, just replace with the same values as to not change the design. Probably one of the cheapest changes that can be made to improve the sound if the old caps are out of spec. I am not a trained listener, much more a casual listener enjoying the music not the setup but it is easy to hear what just sounds better to me after 50 years of hearing different speakers and systems. I don't want to be a critical listener I chose to just enjoy the music. New versus old speaker designs I tend to go with the new models in most cases. New designs are compared to older models to make then sound better with newly designed parts that were not designed at the time of the original speaker design. I have three different Forte's designs the original, the 2 version and the 3 version but not the 4 version. Side by side each progression sounds better including the 4th version. But like with everything, we all hear and like what we like which is fine, that is how it should be. Just is just my ideas using an old set of ears and what I think sounds better.
  21. I was wondering if that could be done, between the really low humidity and heat, just watch out for critters. I get up sometimes like that, but after reliving some pressure I go back to bed. The good thing is I go to sleep in less than a minute and tend to sleep about 8 hours automatically.
  22. A solar stove should work great where you are at. BUT if you get up in the AM before sunrise nevermind. But why get up that early anyway? (just me)
  23. Back then I never knew about Klipsch, so I never looked. The place I talked about, the Warehouse, had the best sound by far. Some big names for such a small place, well small compared to giant arena. This a website for the place which is long gone, at the bottom of the page is a band list starting in 1970. I remember many great shows there, and some I barely remember, I wish it was still operating. http://www.blackstrat.net/ Look at the prices
  24. Seen that before, even with the biggest bands the sound was terrible depending on the venue. Then there were places like the Warehouse or riverboat President in N.O. where the sound was great. The Warehouse was ideal, an old wooden building, all wood and wide open.
