I never had that with my older system, but this January, I upgraded to HD, including the DTV DVR. It is a complete POS, with audio drops, video drops, missed shows, crashes.....etc. I really miss my Tivo's....

The system... You can see where the SPL meter was located most of the time: Look on the chair on the lower right

Mark: Here is a pic of the Watt Meter next to the amps... Everyone was happy with the levels... we had trouble talking over the music most of the time, & we never felt like we were hearing any compression etc.

Fini... We missed you today! Maybe next time?

I agree with Josh... There was nothing there that any of could not listen to long term.... I think one of the most important things to keep in mind was that we were running a digital watt meter & a DB meter, & I think we saw the 2 watt light flicker only a few times, even with my Adcom. Most of the day the listening level was about 95 - 100 DB at the listening position, with a few peaks hitting 106, even on the 3.5 wpc tube amps. Here are my observations of the day. First, I am an SS guy, who has not heard K-horns since the mid 80's, & never heard tubes, so take this for what its worth. The VRD's were up first, which is always a disadvantage, but they had a very clean, solid sound to them, & set the reference for the day. It would have been nice to go back to them later. They were playing when I walked in the door, & I have to say, Darrell's whole system sounded excellent. Josh's Pcats were next, & I found they had a very smooth midrange that just brought out the best of the female vocals... an obvious difference, but at the same time, I found the highs a bit unclear. I would have liked to go back to them at the end to verify this. Very musical & easy to listen to. Of the bunch, I think the moondogs would have had the best overall sound, if they had not been played right after the Pcats. Very hard to pick a winner here....Very clean highs, great, solid lows, & a great mid. I commented that during a violin solo, I could almost hear the bow plucking the string. I was a bit apprehensive to insert the Adcom into the mix of tubes, but I think most of us were surprised, including myself. My Adcom is a model 585 limited, which was basically a pair of 565 mono-blocks stuffed into a single box. It's rated for 250 wpc (the 565 was 300, & was their flagship at the time) After the moondogs & Pcats, the Adcom seemed a bit strained in the mids, especially on Allison Krauss's (wonderful!) voice. However, highs were crystal clear, & lows were obviously not a problem. Darrell made a comment that it sounded much better than his Adcom 535. I agree here, since I have a 535 & have not used it for years for just that reason. Darrell then connected his Wright 2A3's, & they were very impressive for what they were. Less than 1/2 the size of anything else there, they were putting out a wonderful sound that kept up with anything we had been listening to all day. Last, but not least, Darrell has a great place, & makes some of the best chili I have ever had. Thanks for being a great host.....

If you are running a PC, all you need is a microsoft powertoy called image resizer, found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Install the program, right click on any pic or group of pics, & resize them. Its low quality, but does a fine job for quick web-posting.

"You probably made that guy's day." I totally agree. I get so many comments on my schools Klipsch-equipped theater when we do our musicals here. It really does make my day. This year, we just spent $16k on new mics.... Major difference. Today we had a guest speaker come in & used our Gym to speak to the students. He has been doing public speaking for 6 years, & said this was one of the cleanest PA systems he has ever used. (Klipsch pro-La Scala's)

If your speakers are horny'r then you are

We are again the highest with it hitting $2.86 yesterday in northern CA

I can do very basic websites, but not much more that that. I would be happy to help to that point.

That was me.... http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/thread/656885.aspx I have to say that it has worked out better than we ever expected. Amy & Trey had a big part in hooking me up with that system.

I like the poll with the Special System in it! How can you possibly say no to that!

I am less than 5 minutes from Richmond... I could check these out for someone.

Michael... Hold up..... Christy just contacted me & asked if I could host the photos, just like I did for the Corns.... Contact me & we will work it out.

Amy: Are you really closing out the bumper sticker? I would think that would be a permanent item!

If anyone carrys a laptop or just needs a backpack, I highly recommend the Klipsch Backpack on the link above..... It has a seperate sleeve in the back just for the laptop that is not in the picture. I also like the handle on top if I dont feel like wearing it. It's the best thing I have ever had for the laptop. I have had mine for about a year now & it is not showing any signs of wear yet. It even made it to Hope & back.... At that price, I may buy another just to have around.....

Already got that... My computer plays a random song from my playlist every morning through a GMX 2.1 setup.... Great way to start the day,,,,[]

I would also like the plaque, but in this version:

But I didn't study!

I could compress the movie into a small mpeg & host it on my website. It won't be the best quality, but at least everyone could see it.

Fini... One of the top ENT offices in CA is near me in Pinole, & I have been there many times. I think it is only about a 1 hour drive for you. If you cant find someone nearby, let me know & I will get you setup.

I asked about that on the tour. They are in front of large vents that pull ALL of the fumes away from them.

New pics have been added....
