hwatkins Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 This link may be to the most outrageous subwoofer horn todate: http://www.royaldevice.com/custom3.htm The good part is that if you do install this, the significant other can't complain about the looks!!!

boomer9911 Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Did Klipsch not "boot" you from this site for "advertising" for your club(s)through "their" forum? I think you attached the number "58" that time to your ID name if I recall, a few were ticked to say the least Back at it again are we, just curious.............

Audio Flynn Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Whell, You have an SR19 Marantz; a cool beast from what I have read. Never met anyone that had one. Nice to hear of another Klipscher in Livonia. We have somewhat similar systems. Main RB5 with really cool Sanus stands Center RC3 Rear 3.1 Sherwood Newcastle separates for pre and power Adire Audio Rava sub MSB Link DAC for CDs Panasonic RP 91 DVD and DVD-A Toshiba and Dish network HDTV Hope I find LaScalas at a garage sale before you do!

whell Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Audio Flynn: I owned the Sherwood Newcastle separates for a short time. I liked them alot, but decided that, with a new baby on the way, I couldn't justify that much $$$$ invested in my second system. I got them on a steal of a deal to start with, so when I Ebay'd them, I got all of what I paid out of them. Now, my second system consist of what my wife calls my "mid-life crisis system": a number of components that I liked but could not afford in my youth! For example, a Kenwood KA-9100 amp as the foundation of the system. The speakers are a pair of old Infinity Studio Monitors. I am keeping my eye out for some vintage Klipsch to replace the Infinity's though! ------------------ Mike - Livonia, MI Klipsch RF-3 L/R Klipsch RC-3 Center Klipsch RB-5 rears HSU Research VF-2 Sub Marantz SR-19EX receiver Marantz MM-9000 Amp NAD T550 DVD Adcom GCD 700 CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Thanks, Christos to you, arco and the always entertaining maxg for providing glimpses into the heady world of no holds barred audio... especially the Klipsch based entries. The life of a thread is fleeting at best on this Forum, but your Club has provided links to some of the most thought provoking audio pieces ever posted here. While Klipsch may be made in America... the quest of better sound knows no international boundaries. In fact, it's neat to see just how far things built in Hope, AR, have found places of honor all over the world. I am decades beyond my last trip to Athens, but your posts bring back fond memories of the people, places and pasta that retain their classic Greek charm. May your Club continue to prosper and our window on Olympus remain open. -HornED ------------------ Photo update soon! -HornEd This message has been edited by HornEd on 06-07-2002 at 01:38 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnm Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 To be fair to Boomer911: When skaloumbakas initially joined our merry band he was a tad over-zealous and virtually flooded the forum with links to his and his fellow club members' sites. Some,(I include myself) got annoyed and basically said Sheesh enough already. In fairness to skaloumbakas: He apparently got the message and eased off. The volume of his posts promoting his site have reduced to a reasonable level. The result has been that we have gained several of his club members as regulars,(including skaloumbakas), to our forum and I for one eagerly check out the links in his posts. His over-enthusiasm initially alienated some but his subsequent behaviour has put back in my good graces. His enthusiasm for our beloved hobby is infectuous and I see him and the ACA as an asset to the forum. ------------------ It is meet to recall that the Great Green Heron rarely flies upside down in the moonlight - (Foo Ling ca.1900) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer9911 Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 True, actually I think 57 was the number. If so, I do apologize Christo. I do remember the threats, and I was also one of those that wasn't to excited. Especially the cover charge to get in. I'm only looking out for the benefit of the board in my way. After last time, red flags popped up all over. *cheers* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
