mobile homeless Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 That will teach me to not read the second line in the address! heh.... lordy. Here's to some EDITING of that post; there went my humourous lines! I have read some of Pauls musings and dont always agree with him, although he designed some very compelling speakers. As for the wire comments, I stand on this by years of experience. kh This message has been edited by mobile homeless on 12-01-2001 at 09:50 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xterra Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 no guys, it wasn't Mr. Klipsch himself. When I worked there, talk about someone that couldn't hear. ha ha ha to be honest, i was entertaining myself seeing how you guys on this board would react to such a controversial issue, being that i'm new here and all. kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Reminds me of this big breasted young lady I dated years and years ago.We went out to eat at a well known local Italian resturant.While looking at the menu I casually mentioned that I was considering the Veal Scallopine,at which time my date frowned and gently shook her head.I ordered something else. Years later my lovely wife and I had dinner at the same resturant and yes,I ordered the Veal Scallopine.Boy,was it delicious!It was the second best dish I ever laid my hands on! I learned then that decisions are best made based on personal experience.

shantheklipschfan Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Greetings Board, Im a new member just to get that out of the way but I have been a klipsch fan since I was about 18 (28 now) and I have owned a pair of Klipsch quartets for about five years now. Ill get to the point because I can talk about these speakers literally all day long. Yesturday morning 12/7 after reading the posts about re-wiring I decided to give it a shot, I have been thinking about doing it for about two years but was always scared because ot the soldering. Anyway I went to car audio store and picked up some nice 16 gauge copper wire for the mid's and highs and got some thicker 12 gauge for the woofer, so after abou ten dollars total and five hours of labor I was done and ready for the listen. Sonically on CD my best recordings are Getz/Gilberto Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto featuring Antonio Carlos Joblim amd James Brown's Body heat for vinyl, so I put in the CD and there it was, everything that I had been missing, don't get me wrong, my system sounded Damn good before I must say but now everything sounded just so much better, I couldn't belive such a huge improvement can come from a litte ten dollar investment and a litte labor, anyone who says that changing the wire won't do anything really dosent know what the hell they are talking about quite frankly because I'am a living witness that would not lie to you, I stayed up until 3:00 am listening to almost every CD in my collection. Well, there you have it, it works, do it, Im out. System Musical Concepts CDT-4 Transport Musical Design Sp-2B line vacume tupe pre-amp Adcom GFA II amp and a vintage refurbished RCA 4 watt SET amp that is more detailed than I can describe. MIT 2 Innerconnects MIT MH 750 speaker cable ps. MIT cables are good for horns because of the way of the networking sysytem takes away a lot of the distortion that the signal picks up traveling through the electronics and since horns are really revealing you want you signal as distortion free as possible because that brightness that most people talk about in the horn system is nothing more that distortion because most people dont have the right electronics to fully enjoy klipsch we all know the Klipsch bashers out there, anyway. Just a tip, try MIT cables and sorry about the rambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shantheklipschfan Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Oh by the way. Forgot to mention the most important component in my sysytem.

Mighty Favog Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Shan, Congradulations on the work. You can now (if you wish) make the addendum to your equipment list as Quartets (Cornell Hotwired). Jim would be proud I'm sure. Funny you mentioned MIT. I just bought a pair of MITerminator 2 Bi-Wire speaker cables from Audio Advisor. Great deal at half off MSRP. They're past the 48 hour break in period but still counting the hours for the remaining 25%. Man I can't wait till we get rid of that party-pit couch that's blocking most of the left channel! ------------------ Tom KLF-20 Mahogany (Cornell Hotwired) McIntosh C33 Preamp McIntosh MVP-841 CD/DVD Rotel RB-1080 Amp Yamaha PF-800 Turntable/ Sure V15 Type V Cartridge Ortofon VMS-30 mkII Cartridge Stanton 999SS Cartridge Yamaha K-1020 Cassette dbx 1231 EQ H.H.

shantheklipschfan Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Yes, MIT cables do take time to break in, but once they do I don't think you can find a better cable for the price. Shan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
