| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Are these in Ari's office or something?I just watched the first 4 episodes of "Entourage", and the Lumenwhite speakers are in the boys' house, one on each side of rounded bar. | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? There is a very good bass player named Michael Manring that I likeManring is outstanding in a trio called "Attention Deficit", with guitarist Alex Skolnick (Testament), and drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander (Primus). These guys are phenomenal.Another g... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood I thought those speakers on Entourage were Piegas, but Paradigm makes more sense.The speakers on "Entourage" (fun show, by the way) are theLumenwhite | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Again, I apologize for causing a stir with my comment about the Zu peanut gallery. As Warrenh said, it was unfair, and indeed it was.The principal issue here is the condamnation of a product that one has never heard. There is simply no reason for ... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Boa2, that was unfair.If so, I apologize.There is no mod in this world that could get me to purchase or enjoy your Klipschorn.Personally, I'd have to hear a speaker first before drawing such a conclusion.I cannot figure out your Klipschorn obsessi... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Macrojack,Your post is off topic, hypocritical, and like Warren's, clearly intended only as bait. Perhaps we cultists (read: former musicians) can move on with the topic at hand without any further interference from the ZU peanut gallery, huh? | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? If some cds sound great and others sounds pathetic, I am sure it has to be the cd that IS the problem...that is just common sense.Allsmiles, I was under the same impression until we upgraded the CDP, cables, and found an amp/preamp combo that mate... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Fitting old systems into new spaces can be a humbling experience.I'm sure you're absolutely right. I'm hoping that as much as we like the sound of our system in our current poorly designed, cheaply constructed, smallish, second-floor listening roo... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Boa2, I'm confused. You obviously love your speakers, yet you spend a good deal of time searching for your next speaker. Please explain.Sorry for the confusion, Ohhwy61. First, I like hearing different systems. Second, I do in fact love our speake... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Allsmiles,I don't know if you've checked at Al Klappenberger's site, but if you click on the left hand side, he has upgrade kits for the Klipschorn. Click on "Klipsch", and then "Squawker Horn Upgrades". Dean says that this upgrade kit is the tick... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? wwwrecords, the only Altec I've heard for much of an audition was the 1234, AKA the "portable" VOTT. With a pair of 3.5W SET amps in a large loft in San Francisco, they were spine chilling.Thanks, Albertporter. Glad I could tickle you on an otherw... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Are they worth $7k new, and you would still have to add the mods?I think you're referring to the brand new K-horn. I happen to prefer the heritage model. Ours were built in 1978, and we purchased them from the original owner.Only one $58k speaker ... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Boa2, after all those modifications to get a Klipschhorn to sound good, doesn't that say something about Klipschorn?Indeed. It says that for less than the price of a pair of NOS 6922 tubes, you can take a 28-yr-old speaker from good to phenomenal.... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? You can dampen the horns with Dynamat, rope caulk, or the like. McMaster-Carr also sells a product that adheres well, and I believe a search on www.audioasylum.com in the hi-eff speakers section will get you the part number. Be advised that althou... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Notwithstanding Porziob's standard drop-a-turd-in-the-punchbowl response, you certainly could find an amplifier more suitable to the revealing sound of the Klipschorns. As far as SS is concerned, McIntosh is an excellent option. If you search the ... |
