kuisis Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I just noticed that I have passed ten years as a member on this great forum, even though I'm not as active as I once was. When I bought two LaScala Splits from a local business owner I'd have never thought that I'd have made two trips to Harrisburg, One trip to York, and one trip to Detroit to pick up "speakers." I have a total Klipsch 5.1 home theater, a 2 channel system with vintage Khorns, and a bedroom system with Heresys I also have enough extra to build the heritage home theater in my basement, eventually. It seems like so many people have come and gone on here in ten years. I would like to thank everyone for all of the help. Especially Tom Mobley and GaryMD. Tom for my first Tube amp, a 222c, and Gary for a few cd's and the hell of a deal on rectifiers. I almost forgot dylani for having me over to his place to hear Khorns for the first time and made me realize I would eventually own them. I remember Ryan Inman and Parrot. I must be old. Thanks for all the help. If it wasn't for this place I certainly wouldn't be enjoying my music the way I do today. Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuisis Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Thanks, I don't know how I forgot you and your son for loading those khorns for me. That was a fun day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted August 10, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 10, 2013 If it wasn't for this place I certainly wouldn't be enjoying my music the way I do today. I feel the same way, if it were not for all the great advice given to me I would still be wandering around trying to figure out something better. Congratulations on 10 years, it does go by fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It was a wild and wooly place back then. It's an established, gentile neighborhood now. "Newbies" back then often didn't make it through the gauntlet. Parrot and Mobilehomeless...and others...could smell fresh meat for miles. I miss some aspects of it, but since Sheriff Amy cleaned up the joint and made everyone check their pieces at login I guess it's generally better.

Daddy Dee Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Tom, congrats on 10 years and thanks for the post. The folks here have been gracious to me and i've learned a ton of stuff about audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Tom, thanks for remembering me. I don't logon here much anymore either. Those were pretty good old days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 whatever happened to Kelly anyway? I still have the updated HF-81 I did when it was all the rage. Little amp still kicks butt pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Kelly called me several years after dropping off. It was a warm call. He said the only reason for the call was to thank me for sending the Foster piano recording to him, as it was one of the few things his mother really enjoyed listening to. He did not volunteer much else, but best as I could tell all was well. Over the years I've dropped out for up to a year for various reasons, but so far have always returned. By now, I have enough friendships here that I really couldn't stay away long if I wanted to without feeling remiss. We've shared a lot of joy and pain together and it is much more than a "virtual" experience. It is very real, more real than many other things. Thank you, Klipsch! I don't know of another place like this on the web. PWK would be proud. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuisis Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 I still have the 222 Tom, it still sounds as sweet as ever. It's odd that since I've hooked up the vintage Khorns I spend so much more time listening, not much time tweeking them or even thinking about doing it.

DizRotus Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Tom- What changes, if any, did you make to your vintage (almost as old as I am) Khorns? As I recall, one had a University tweeter and the other an EV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuisis Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks Gary, I still listen to Bean Blossom at least once every three months or so. Neil, I bought a 16 ohm university and a converted 16 ohm T35 I tried out the speakers with the universites and t-35's. The T-35's won out, not by much, so I replaced the one University with the T-35. I kept the others though, for future experimentation. The only other change was the new crossovers. I kept the originals and had Bob Crites make me new ones. The new ones are about half as big. That's about it, except for cleaning the grill cloth and cleaning the outside. I listened to them last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 So that's where my Bean Blossom LP went! I've looked for that more than a few times over the years. Glad it's in good hands. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuisis Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm guessing you're being sarcastic, you sent me a cd. If you ever get to Pittsburgh Jerry's records has an incredible selection of bluegrass lp's. I bought 3 nearly new Doc Watson LPs last month.
