garymd Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Me? That's funny. It took an hour only because I wasn't on the computer sooner. BTW - Have you tried Bob's new tweeters? I know a way you might be able to save on shipping costs.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chops Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I wish I had something constructive to say about all of this, but I'm just in complete "ah" from seeing a vert-horn Cornwall for the first time ever. And that DIY network is massive! It's almost as large as the 15" driver below it. BTW, I'm not attempting to hijack this thread, but... What version K77 do I have in my '79 CW's? It just says "K77" on the back of them. I don't see any "M" or anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Amy Posted March 16, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2006 A few observations: 1) Allan's midrange appears to be made out of modeling clay. I suspect the relevant frequencies are severely diminished. 2) This would explain why he is always talking about the *bass* sounding lifelike. The woofer is mostly what he is hearing. 3) I think it's possible that when Allan auditioned the new tweeters, he didn't understand that they are supposed to be listened to with the rest of the speakers hooked up at the same time, not on their own. Obviously just by their lonesome selves they may very well sound fatiguing and of course they'd be disembodied because they need their brother mid and low frequencies of the audible spectrum to make a unified family presentation. It's been very peaceful and civil around here since your "hiatus," Paul. Let's not start this nonsense again, please. Your baiting of other members will not be tolerated anymore, nor will anyone else doing the same. Last warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I figured you'd be back threatening me before 24 hours had passed. Allan is a man and doesn't need you running interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Amy's sandbox to monitor, Paul. You shouldn't be throwing sand in her face if you want to play here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I don't consider it her sandbox. It's Klipsch fans' sandbox, and she's paid for recess duty. A good supervisor doesn't butt in every time little Billy calls little Johnny a name. That's just the nature of the playground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Songer Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Wine-Baked Pork ChopsMASTER RECIPE When cooking these for a meal, consider making one or two extra. These may be frozen and used as bits of meat in a pasta salad, or with lentils. These are particularly good if marinated, as described in the variations. Serves four Pork chops, 4, 1 inch thick, preferably 1 ½ inchMadeira, ¼ cup, or dry white wineWaterSalt and pepperThyme, dried, ½ teaspoon or more, or sageBay leafBaking dish Turn oven to 375 degrees F. Place chops in baking dish. Cover bottom of the dish with Madeira wine. Pour in water to bring to ¼ inch level. Season chops with salt and pepper, and sprinkle them with thyme. Place bay leaf in water. Bake until done, about 1 ½ hour. Maintain ¼ inch liquid level. Baste a few times when meat looks dry. Juices should be clear yellow and have no trace of rose. Serve chops on a warm platter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 What did I miss? I don't know this Parrot guy from Adam, but I sure do like his attitude. What's everybody in an uproar for? BTW, nice recipe there Allan. I have a pretty good one for chops myself. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dflip Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Mike: Paul (Parrot) has a history of irritating certain individuals, especialy Allan and Gary. There have been difficulties over the years with Paul being given a couple of time-outs, detentions and finally escalating to a suspension, to follow the education analogy. Paul does provide good advice and entertainment at times, but too many discussions have very quickly turned into feuds do to the limited patience levels between a few of the members of the forum. I may not be correct here, but when Allan receives his detentions, it is usually a result of his interactions with Paul and they both start scrapping away with one another. Allan gives as good as he receives and then Amy becomes the principal and doles out the consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Tart Tartin Large Apples (Red Delicious or Granny Smith) and 3 Peaches1/2 Cup of Sugar 1 Tsp Butter 1 Tsp Vanilla8 OZ Puff Pastry Sheet (you can find this in the refrigerated section of the grocery store)Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and core the apples, cut each into 4 pieces, cut each Peach into 4 pieces and put aside. Trim the puff pastry sheet into a circle and roll it out on a lightly floured surface, till it has a diameter of at least 12 inches, let it stand to room temperature while you place the sugar and vanilla in a large10 inch oven proof saute pan, heat on a medium setting till ingredients are combined & they turn a caramel color -approximately 4-5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat (be careful not to overcook the above or the sugar will burn).Place the fruit on its side back to front (alternating between the apples and peaches) finishing off with a second layer of apples over the caramel (be careful as the pan and the caramel are extremely hot).Pick up the puff pastry sheet and drape over the top of the pan, crimping the edges into the pans rim. Place into the oven for 30-40 minutes (till the top of the pastry is golden brown and crisp). After the tart comes out of the oven invert it unto a large plate. Serve the tart warm with a scoop of sorbet. Besides apple and peach try the following combinations:Apple/Banana Pear/Nectarine Pear/Mango Apple/ Plum Pear/KiwiAlthough this tart tastes wonderful on its own, try it with a scoop of French Vanilla or Caramel Ice Cream.

edwinr Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I'm curious about this modeling clay business. There's a fair bit of anecdotal evidence on this and other forums about the relative merits of damping horns. Personally, I can't see how the liberal application of such damping material could benefit the sound for the better. If the designers thought there was some merit, would they not have included this procedure in the original design? Some loudspeaker designers actually include various methods of damping in speaker cabinet construction. One manufacturer that comes to mind is Harbeth. This manufacturer applies carefully calculated quantities of damping to thin walled cabinets to create a 'lossy' cabinet - one that works with the actual transducers to create the sound that the designer is after. Perhaps applying damping material to a horn MAY work, but there would need to be some careful experimentation to determine the appropriate damping required for the best sound. I don't doubt that liberal damping will change the sound - but will it be for the better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
