One of the folks that actually measured the sound waves when modifying speakers and subs told me once I would not get the entire wavelength of the sound in the bedroom. Now that the piano is gone and there is room in the LR it's just a good match in there. He was correct, it's been three years or more and I'm impressed with the rig once more! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This H/K has "jumpers" connecting the pre amp and and amp [I presume that's what they do] or is there a dongle that knocks the voltage down, and use the B speaker outs? Shoot me a pm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I used to ask that about the vodka once upon a time. It became a running joke---"who drank all my vodka?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Just mixed and downed two tea glasses of Gatorade... thinking rum would be good in the original anti-freeze flavor!! Pressure washed the shed, the "wrought iron" table and chairs, the buddha lantern that was green, all the stepping stones and the back patio. With all the rain the last two years it looked like a decade since I last did it but it was only half that long. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yea, I actually looked at my deck and patio today thinking about power washing it. Was a nice thought but I started a new book. Maybe Wednesday since I'm hanging a new light in here tomorrow. Who knows actually since I seem to be "over-thinking" this turntable & cartridge. $650, $1250 or $1500? IF I could only hear... Also cheap and could pick up a "better" one later. Then I'm also clueless on what it's gonna cost me for parts, which I KNOW I need since it's been 40 years. Have to call him Tuesday then figure out when I can make two 6-hour round trip runs to drop off and pick it up. Lawdy, I'm soooo screwed this week. There's always next week though! hahahaha! Could be the week after since I could be broke from this week. Oh wait, I think that's the week the dudes are coming to clean all the ductwork. Wait, let me check my calender. Yep, broke the following week then. Oh yea, do I need to buy a sub too while I'm spending money? 😂 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Sub? you say?? Don't mess around. With your La Scalas which I would have a pair now if not for the twisting, turning two foot wide stairs going down thirty feet from that living room. You need folded horn subs to match the timbre if your ears are like mine! Won't find better than these right now! Coffee is gone and I've enjoyed being dry the last few hours since I got up. But got to get back at it, I'd bet there is two more days at my current state of abilities to go. Tomorrow have to do some legal stuff then back at it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 great deal on 'em... to bad I'm not up to a cross country drive the 1/4 pie kinda struck my fancy. squeezing a horn sub in this room could present its own set of challenges. Room is 12 X 25 with a traffic pattern running the length of the room. The LaScalas are noisy tables to my wife [how shallow], but they are in the room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 @dtel I'm thinking you could be on to something! The visual I'm having is pretty incredible. Just finished hanging my new lite w/my buddy so into a lil Joe Walsh right now. Thought I'd take a peek. Best laff I've had in a LONG time. Gives new meaning to "Just Say No!" 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted August 17, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2020 It's scary, I could just see him siting there in his thong (not properly) and all the kids having a shocked look on there poor little faces, it would be enough to shock me. There just not ready for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your wife's co-worker, that's not old enough. I think you would do well helping out in her school. Good luck. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Ditto! All 125# of him wrapped in that sarong, wearing sandals and throwin tarantula's out for the kittens to play with. Those kids are in good hands alright! Preach and teach @grasshopper! Wait, where's my wifi. Oh no here we go again w/the computer... Yup kids I hope someday you can use what I'm teaching you. Reminds me of a story about how I got two BIG Klipsch La Scala's in my wife's little car. Would you believe we drove all the way to Indiana in order to bring them back here? All that way home with an inch to spare on the inside of the car. It's all about studying the problem and coming up with the right answer. You can do it if I can! You'd handle it well grasshopper! Ya really would! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I kind of teach and preach now. Funny that you mention rambling off, I brought that up to the wife. Lesson plan?... well, I started with it, but got derailed have to wonder how the other kids would react to our little girl calling me Grandpa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wrong. The rig set up in a room better sized for it and I'm blown away tonight Santana's Supernatural to see if I needed to fine tune the sub again, after some Tull, and then my gold cd copy of DSOTM up on half is so much better in the open on two sides 14 X 13.5 room. Didn't know my F3s could do this!! Time for my shot of EC single barrel! Off on a tangent------I like the rug. Is it wool? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
