HDBRbuilder Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 push-pull vs. set? What about the S/S H/K 430 receiver?? It sounds great too! Happy Holidays!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I would say receivers are bad for the Klipsch Reference line. As for me, I am sticking to tubes and I would not go back to SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Mandaville Posted December 17, 2003 Author Share Posted December 17, 2003 I would say that I would like to know how to post something using bold-face type and/or italics! There are those icons up at the left, including 'Attach File,' which is the only one I've ever used -- is that what they are for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I dont ever use the "rich text" editor. Instead, I just add simple HTML tags and bold and italics are the easiest. Simply put < b > at the beginning of the statement, followed by < / b > at the end. EVerything in between will be in bold. For italics, substitute an "i" for the "b". Also, make sure you take out the spaces I left in between the examples (without the space before and after the "b", it would not be visible as an example here. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxg Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Why Dbflash - sane? Me? Hardly!! But thanks for the vote of confidence! I've been away from the forum for a couple of days (fighting with my DVD creation idea - making some progress - but not there yet). Looks like I missed a real punchup somewhere....

Tubinhard Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Actually Neo, even a low powered receiver like the HK Andy mentioned can sound very good on horns. That particular receiver, like many others of the era, didn't use IC's, everything was discrete, and the power supplies were usually huge in relationship to the wattage they put out. Also, these lower powered units didn't pair up transistors for high output, and the result was VERY low distortion, at LOW power. Russ, I've actually come to the conclusion that I'm am NOT a "golden eared" type. I can hear differences easy enough, but I'm not always very good at explaining, or understanding what or why. As long as it's clean, grain free, and doesn't drill a hole through my forehead -- I can live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillmbil Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Eric, great post. I was thinking the same thing last night and I have not even read the whole post/flame war. What I wanted to say was that music is truly "SUBJECTIVE" and dependent on many things including gear and the person's listening. It is amazing to me that Dean, Craig, Erik, Kelly, Ryan, Guy, etc. all know so much more than many of us but cannot not agree on much when it comes to parts, speakers, amps, topologies, preamps. So obviously they can't all be wrong or right so this music craze is definitely subjective and we should always keep that in mind. I beleive people hear things differently so there could never be one better sound for all, (Unless you have Bose of course). I for one am amazed that I cannot hear above 11khz. I know many of you can, but then I just recently switched to tube gear and have been used to high decibel SS for too long. Merry Christmas to all and let us all enjoy this wonderful time of year with our families, and show them the true pleasure of Christmas comes from music. And that music comes from PP/Set amps and Klipsch speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Deano, I didn't say receivers are bad with horns in general, just the Klipsch reference line. My cheap Sony receiver sounded quite good on the Fortes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subjective or not, there are idiots on this forum! I have not seen nor hear a Bose so I cannot imagine its sound. Though I think it rhymes with blose .

NOSValves Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 What I can not believe is that yet again a post that was put up in the spirit of trying to stop the battle has yet again started to be a laying the Blame thing ! IT TAKES TWO OR MORE TO TANGO !! EVERYONE INVOLVED IN ANYWAY IN THESE WARS IS AT BLAME INCLUDING MYSELF !!! I think its extremely tacky and petty to come in this thread start laying blame and also even more tacky to come in hear and argue or call names.

DRBILL Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Yo, Eric, I wish I had written that! Thanks. I also wish that I had kept the drawer-full of yellow BS buttons that PWK handed me at the back door of St. Mark's, Hope, after preaching sermons that had been too hastily snapped together the night before! A little humility never hurt anybody. Several of us (although unaware) have a great deal about which to be humble. Father Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Mandaville Posted December 17, 2003 Author Share Posted December 17, 2003 Merry Christmas to you and your family to, William. Thanks for the nice wish. Kelly: Cheers for the help on that. I swear it reminds me of the horrible letter perfect I used to type my Master's thesis! Very similar toggle sort of commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie Klipsch Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Happy Chanukkah to everyone. One should not criticize anyone for any reason. Unless you have the facts to prove otherwise. Amps-speakers-tt-cd-DVD-all have a synergistic feeling on the music we hear. I am sure we all have the feeling that our system is the best bang for the buck. I know that I am so satisfied with my system but I will always look for some more Corns or maybe some K Horns to upgrade the system but I am happy with what I have and would love the hear what the rest have. There is no nirvana to compare to live music and our obsession is just a hobby. We should just live with what we have and hopefully can upgrade to a more satisfying listening experience.

Erik Mandaville Posted December 17, 2003 Author Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hi, Scrowley (I hope that is spelled right!) You seem to have a really nice system -- and a Grommes amp! I like those very much, and one day would like to have a couple of Grommes LJs. I look at them on ebay often. Thanks for contributing.
