HornEd Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hey, Mr. Blorry... on your road to becoming totally "tube-ular" why not pick up another pair of KLF 30's? You mentioned parties and adding tube amps... so I am guessing you have the room... and with 30's as mains, you might also have the inclination. I have tried a number of different Klipsch options as surrounds... but nothing beats another pair of 30's for most sonic fare. While it is true that some of the older recorded material would benefit from 180° array of mid-range horns (I am still toying with that as an addition to my surround 30's) most of the critical listening sound sources (kicking music & well engineered DVD's) fare better with side KLF 30 horns carefully aimed at your prime listening area. One place where other solutions have consistently failed is in the tone & timbre matching with the mains on sonic pans... somehow the Doppler phase shift effect does better for speeding trains than lumbering tanks. Try it, it may even put a smile on your avatar!

Hauck Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Our next project is a remodeling of our living room. This will involve the retirement of our CWD entertainment center (it truly served us well), the addition of a Belle center channel, and rearrangement of the television and electronics in a Salamander Designs Archetype System shelving arrangement. The attached .jpeg file is a copy of an AutoCAD drawing we are using to develop the arrangement. The flanking Klipschorns, television and other electronics are existing . . . see the attached Klipschorn and CWD entertainment center photos in this and the following post. Forgive the poor rendition of the AutoCAD drawing, as it is in "wire frame" format to keep file size down when I converted it to a .jpeg image . . . we created the Klipschorns in a 3D image, so we could accurately project it on the wall at a 45 degree angle. The entire view can be rendered in wood, glass, paint, etc. to give us a rough idea of the finished look. It helps to have a couple of teenagers who know AutoCAD fairly well. We are looking forward to the driver problem being solved in the Heritage line so we can order the Belle. Any word on dates, Bob G.?

Hauck Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Attached are the remainder of the photographs from my preceding post. Also, lest my fellow Hope compatriots forget, I still have an electronic photo album in the works from our visit in February . . . it shall be completed!

MacKlipsch Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Phil, You're going to put your TV on top of the Belle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauck Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Yes, the television on top of the Belle . . . problems are shielding and elevation, but I don't have much choice in matching the cornerhorns for styling and tone. I will probably install a 1/4" thick steel plate under the cabinet top on the Belle to deal with shielding . . . per a recommendation from the Klipsch laboratory in Hope . . .

jelliott100 Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Leather, reclining loveseat to replace full size sofa that takes up too much floor space. Note that this is being done to free up some room for a pair of Heresy's bought as surrounds since I don't want to mount them from the ceiling. Next.....Either a Zen Triode tube amp or a Bottlehead foreplay and a pair of Paramour monoblocks and that new sony SACD changer. Or maybe.....jeez someone help me...I have a sickness. You know, I started this whole thing as strictly a home theater but somewhere along the way, I decided that I needed to pursue 2-channel audio bliss. I'm perfectly happy with the HT as it is now, but this 2-channel thing.....where does it end? ------------------ --Elliott-- Heresy II Main/Surround RC-3 SVS 20-39cs Denon 2801 JVC D-Series Pioneer DV-525 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKlipsch Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Phil, 1/4 inch steel plate? Inside the cabinet between the braces? I think Klipsch used to have a rig that they sold for this purpose. Was thinking of putting mine up there but was worried about the weight???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauck Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 Mac, I spoke to Jim Hunter in the Klipsch laboratory when I visited Hope . . . he indicated that LOW carbon steel plate between the drivers of the Belle and your television is all that is needed. The plate that Klipsch sells has a cost of $100, and is supposedly the same thing . . . they have described it as sitting on top of the Belle . . . the one I saw is painted black. I was going to find a way of installing a shelf of some sort under the top of the Belle to slide the plate into . . . it may require some minor modifications.

Al Klappenberger Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 Hi guys, I have heard for a source I trust that a thin sheet of steel will do also. You could have one cut and bent to you requirements by any heating or air conditioning contractor from steel duct meterial. I would like to know how well this actually works if anybody tries it.
