    Stripped threads on a K400 horn

    Eldon  , this horn Lamp must have had a very special  meaning   for  PWK  , since ,the  new klipsch copper Badge  conbined  both the  PWK  logo and  the klipsch script  for the very 1st time ,   and PWK Owned the PWK logo Personally  .

     

      We can also tell the age of the lamp  by the age of the klipsch Badge which is 1978-1979  .

    I don't know how old it is, someone may have given it to PWK.

    "ELDONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, those things are GRINDING ON MY NERVES, turn those off and turn the PRETTY ones on..."

     

    Ok, I know she likes them, I just had to get that off my chest.

    No she loves them, just not real loud and heavy metal will not cut it, I can't complain much but still do at times.

    K33-K43, wasn't the K33 the "driver of choice" when they were designed, but they were burning the drivers up (cranking it too loud) so they started populating them with the K43?

    K43 was the original, it was for Pro and could take a little more power than the K33.

    From the book of Klipsch, the gospel of Claude, I too am of the belief that the MWM was originally engineered using the K-33.

    Don't know about gospel but 43 was original, Claude did test the 33 and 43 and the 33 did go a very slight bit lower. I have the K43 in the set in the shop and k33 in the 4 singles inside. I used K33's inside because the K43 cost more and are at times hard to find.

    ..that grinder has character and belongs in any garage

    I had rebuilt some old tools after I built the shop, that was just one, the after pic.

    I would LOVE to hear these outside when I accoutre the other bin!

    I have never heard 2 double bins should be good, Those top drivers should keep up pretty well.

    I have two buddies with some serious acres, and one has a tractor, so that may be the way to go.

    This is 6 acres, I don't do it much but I have put thm outside and it sounds really good. LaScalas sound good outside also, just less bass.

    I’ll have to do a mock-up with cardboard before I try and shoehorn them down the stairs. 

    If they were singles it would be easy. When I got mine they just happen to be singles, I got them to copy in Red Oak for the living room, 4 singles 2 on each side.

    The bass really is quite phenomenal though, and Klipsch clean. You are front row at a concert with these. 

     

    The folded horn to me just sounds better, more realistic. And I just like the MWM design and sound, it just sounds big and being a horn clean sounding.

    I would have never even considered half the speakers that have graced my humble abode over the years if it weren’t for this forum. 

     Same here, I sould definitely would not have the sound I have without advice and the people here, not even close.

     

    Glad you got to try these, they are good, also a simple design that works well.

     Over the holidays I managed to get ONE of the two bins loaded with a pair of square magnet K-33s. I pulled the tops off my LSI Splits with Crites AB-2 crossovers (same as AL-3 minus the tweeter protection) and DE-120s on SMAHLs. Dusted off a Technics SA-GX303 85 watt/side receiver and charged up an old iPod with a 1/8” to RCA cable feeding it. I turned everything to zero and powered on the iPod and receiver and slowly dialed some Black Sabbath up to about 9 o’clock.

    I know how that sounds and I really like it. What your using is very close to what I use in the shop.

     

    But you will end up with a whole other bass bin, twice the bass. 

     

    I am using Two single bins, diy split LaScala tops (same parts) with AA crossovers, a receiver connected to a laptop. I used an I-Pad untill it got outdated and would not work. Switched to an older laptop with a HDMI connection and the sound was much better.

     

    I really like the sound and listen to this alot, I can also roll it facing the door or pick it up with the tractor and put it out in the yard. It sounds great outside, just like LaScalas but more bass. 

     

    Glad you tried this. :emotion-21:

     

    Ignore the grinder.

    I was made a moderator while I was on vacation for 10 days, I had no idea untill I came back. I did it only to help because I like it here, but much of this has changed I almost hate looking here, just tired of it. 

     

    Look at my post, 99% are non audio related and very much off and on. I get tired of it and do not post, come back and just general BS a little and I stop reading for a while and leave again.

     

    I do not talk with Travis, or any other moderator, I asked months ago maby a year for them to add moderators, never was done. 

     

    YES I do appericate everyone thanking me for working with the museum, it meant alot to me and thank you. I also got burned out on doing this with all the BS sometimes involved BUT I realized what I liked about it was who I got to work with when we go to work on the building, the people I spend time with. 

     

    I have to be honest

    Craig, Roy, Jim, and the two ladies who help out are the only reason I still do it. I enjoy being around them, they make it fun, if it is not fun why bother. 

     

    I have become 100% burned out on administration part of the museum, I honestly do not know why my wife still does it anymore, if I were her I would have quit long ago.

     

       I would send Chad a message and quit but he may not even get it so I don't know what I will do, or just not do anything.

     

    Just tired of it all

    I actually think the moderators got together and hashed out what they wanted it to be...Back then they had a half dozen or so who actually participated and now it's down to 1 or 2. That's my take.

    Not true at all.

     

    We do not even talk, there was Amy and she got my wife to be a moderator so there was 2. later others were added, and quit or did nothing. Marshall who quit and asked to be removed and they told him just do not post but was not going to remove him, he asked again. When they did not delete his account as asked he forced them by deleting a large section of the forum permantly, back them moderators could do much more. Well that got him removed and caused much work by the adminstrator to try and recover it which did not work. Ever have a problem searching for things, well that's why, it's gone.

     

    My wife rarely does anything here also kind of burned out with the BS. Weeks ago her PM's stopped working, she asked for it to be fixed but it is still is broken. 

     

    It all just get's old.

    I am sure that anyone here for any length of time recognizes that there is a direct relationship of posts allowed vs museum donation.

    No there is not as far as I know, they have nothing to do with each other, I don't know who donates to the museum. 

     

    As far as a secret section on the forum, if there is I don't know why. I only come here signed in so that is all I see. I know at one time years ago there was because you could not talk about jubilees without starting trouble so there was a thread about them so they could be discussed.

     

    Like the old BS section moderators are not who decides who sees it, I didn't realize they were a section like that anymore, I don't see a reason.

    Fwiw, I appreciate that's where he and you wanted the Forum to go but it's NOT why alot of us are here or continue to visit. That said, Thanks for volunteering to moderate because dtel admittedly doesn't do much. :)

    My post pinned to the top of that page is ONLY because I got tired of the silly bullshit by some that I had to deal with. I get tired of all of this, it has taken all of the fun out of being here so I wonder why do I spend time here. 

     

    The not doing much part was a joke.

     

    Ever notice at times I post very little, I sign in to approve new post if they are not spam or offensive but rarely read or perticipate. I sign in 5 to 10 times a day to approve new members so they don't sit where no one can see them waiting, it's not fair to them.

    This is one of the more, if not most, restrictive forum I've been a part of in 20+ years.  I was looking forward to seeing where the thread went with the lazy La Scala owner.

    If I were all of you I would protest and get a petition going to have me canceled, even if I never had anything to do with whatever happened.

    cauliflower? Tried it, had to dip it into a flavor before I finished it. Then had a funny pizza with an older relative that does not look her age. It was not good but it was cauliflower instead of flour for the crust.

    Guess cutting back on some things works! Doesn't sound like the Holidays though.

     

    Heed the Law,    Stop the Disguised HATE! 

    wish I could say more :emotion-50:  

    I slightly brown it with seasoning, a local place does the pizza crust can't tell the difference, it just looked different from the bottom. thaought we were being BS'd.

     

    But your right some things just cannot replace others without it being obvious.
