carlthess40 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Bought a case of Sound Seal acoustic wall panels. Made of one inch thick rigid fiberglass and covered with Guilford acoustic cloth. Several of these on the walls of a room make the room sound better. Where did you get the Materials for theseSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my panels, it looks like they first sprayed the edges of the fiberglass panels with a coat of contact cement that was allowed to dry, creating stiff corners, then sprayed again with contact cement to adhere the fabric wrap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 This picture shows the TV better. It is higher up than a typical TV mount, but from the La-Z-Boy recliner position, it is in the perfect spot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 While I was in veneer cut and glue mood, I wrapped this RC-62 center channel speaker for my friend's home theater. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Ultimax have dual 2 Ohm voice coils, but for my application I connect the voice coils in series to give the amplifier a nominal 4 Ohm load. Good move. 2 ohms look like short circuit to some amplifiers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it works good for me and produces more SPL than I need. In a bigger room, I might like to hook up one Pro amp channel per 2 ohm voice coil just for fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 To keep, or not to keep, is the question that crosses my mind about my extra pairs of Brazilian Rosewood Klipschorns. Some of them have not been connected for a while, they just sit around my house being really beautiful art objects. What should I do? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 are those a couple pairs or is that one pair of BRK? the reason I ask is because the veneer doesn't appear to be matched??? just curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures of the individual Klipschorns in my earlier post are showing just one speaker each from the two matched pairs. Here is an old picture of those two pairs in a room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I like art, however, say I had 2-3 pairs and only one pair being used, I would sell 2 pairs and shop for some Jubilees. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool that your wife loves Klipsch speakers too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
