TheEAR Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 B0$e dealers give FREE mules with each B0$e Life Less Style Less system purchase! Hurry quantities are limited GET YOUR MULE NOW! TheEAR(s) Now theears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Only a Jackass would buy Bose, you might as well give him one too. Personally, I think mules have better taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro Bodean Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Mike. You are right about the mules. I once had a deadbeat mule renter expose my mules to bose. This made them very cranky. They became the mules from hell. Thought I was gonna have to kill them before they killed me. It was sorta like dealing with PMS, except the mules made more sense. ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Delaflor Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Im posting again this question that was lost since the first page of this thread: ______________________________ Good to see you liked them theears (Cornwalls), having as you do, so much expensive gear, is fine to know that you found that the "old Heritage sound" is indeed good. What do you think about the mid horn? I feel that the detailed sound those speakers can make is in part due to the work of this driver. And more importantly, do you think that the new RF-7's sounds more or less than the old Cornwall's? if no, where do you note the differences? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Manuel, Sorry,damn I did not even repply to your question,Sorry again Well I would like Klipsch to design a RF-10 flagship R series speakers with horn loaded midrange.I liked the Cornwall midrange projection.I think Klipsch should continue to horn load their midrange drives(when used). The RF-7 does not sound like the Cornwall,yes they are similar.They are both Klipsch blood,only the Cornwall follows a true PWK design.The R series are more NEW AGE Klipsch.The R series are still all Klipsch but Klipsch should never abandon horn loaded midranges. Oh yes and the Cornwall is less hard on the ears!After all these years of break in the Cornwalls do sound sweet.Damn they are so wide,if only they were not as HUGE I would buy a Cornbreadwall.

Mike Lindsey Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 The Epic CF (Controlled Focus) series speakers are a damn fine 2-way as well. I have a pair of CF-2's but I sure would like to hear the CF-4's with those two 12's... Mike ------------------ My Music Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Well the only heritage speakers I've heard were Heresy's and I didnt care much for them, they lack dynamics. I havnt heard any Khorns or corns but all the Khorns I've seen on e-bay look like crap. Or they sure don't look like something I want in my house anyway. They look homemade to me. As far as anodized aluminum, I'm going to guess it's mainly for a dampning effect and looks since aluminum really doesnt have alot of corrosion.

mike stehr Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I think it depends on the amount of steel/tin in the Aluminum itself on the effects of Corrosion. Aluminum that is more soft with less tin/steel, corrodes pretty quick. But I think it will dissipate heat from itself quicker. (Maybe this might play a factor in Anodization.) Probably for looks and corrosion. I worked at a Aluminum Foundry, all I know is it's a nasty dirty metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Dean, I have many two way speakers and they work damn well thank you.Large speakers cannot get around the midrange unit or mid-bass with a dedicated woofer. The RF-7 is a 2.5 way speaker( )while the drivers are identical the top driver covers some midrange and the lower woofer is cut lower.Works great too The ideal speaker would be full range and point source,this would give the best results.In the real world its not very practical,some full range single driver designs are HUGE...and cost an arm and a leg!

TBrennan Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 DeanG---Hey, I like 2-ways. But only when they use 15" hornloaded or vented woofers and cross to aluminum or titianium diaphragm 1" compression drivers at 500-800hz. And say Altec or JBL on them. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 I'm sure you know more about it than me its just I've never seen anything Aluminum rust in. Maybe its the other metals in the alloy doing the oxidizing? I cut and pasted this from encarta.com it states; "In contact with air, aluminum rapidly becomes covered with a tough, transparent(<-key word here) layer of aluminum oxide that resists further corrosive action. For this reason, materials made of aluminum do not tarnish or rust." I have some 10 year old aluminum cylinder heads that are exposed to extremly high heat, sub-degree temps, and moisture and there isnt a bit of oxidation on them. Yes aluminum is pretty soft(so is paper) but combine it with titanium one of the strongest and lightest metals and you have a heck of a alloy. Titanium wont rust or tarnish either if im not mistaken.

mike stehr Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 I have no idea. But I think the varying metals affect corrosion. I used to work with this T6 stuff on sheetmetal presses. The stuff was hard as a rock, I'm not sure about oxidation factor, but it hardly oxidized. The scrap paid well too. Oh yeah, R-7's or Cornwalls? THANX!
