Speaker Re-cap. How do you know when?
I found a cross over scematic last night on the net. I'll do some research on the matter. I like the note about air leaks. While all looks A-OK, I'll double check. I am not that much of an elctrician to know how to check the cross overs with an oh... 
ELP fans
Is this a new one for 2009 or the one from 2008? I have always loved ELP. Thanks for the insight, John

Wilson Audio paint problems
Perhaps one of the bad things here is that it takes 100 compliments to make a good impression and only one bad statement to ruin all the good things said. Maybe Wilson themselves should chime in?Like the sign over my wifes desk says, "When I am ri...

Speakers after Infinity Kappa 9
Glad to see this post. I own the Rennasaince 90's pushed by a Krell FPB300cx. Every once in a while I get the itch to buy new(er) speakers. I would love to hear some Eggleston Andra II's. But alas, no dealer in Calif. from what the mfg. emailed me... 
ruined a phillips screw, any inspired solution?
As long as everyone is chimming in; *Replace any other screws with new ones. Chances are they are jacked up as well. *Clean out the holes with compresed air before reinstalling the screws.*Don't over tighten the screws when you put them back in. T... 
Finger Prints on Records
I had a terrible issue where all my records got wet and the covers were fused together by mold. After lots of trial an error the thing that worked for me and worked perfectly was glass cleaner (non amonia as noted above). Glass Plus or something s...

I could cry
As the line in "Young Franknstein" goes; "Could be worse""Could be raining"We had a leak in our home while away for a week 1/2. 600 albums were stacked against the wall,on edge waiting to be placed in their new spot. All the album covers were fuse... 
How is your power bill?
My Krell FPB300cx has the following listed in the owners manual as power consumption;Stand by; 60wIdle; 175wHauling butt; 1700wThe KCT manual doesn't list the power consumption. It does run very warm at idle so I reckon it sucks some juice. A smal... 
Selling Large Speakers - How to reduce shipping?
Shipping expenses are based on "class" or what you are actually shipping. For instance jet engines cost way more per pound than scrap metal per pound. Make sure you have the proper class code when you ship them or you may pay too much. We ship air... 
Fed Ex Ground Shipping Woes
FedX Air scrapped a Krell amp of mine. They did pay up but it was a jacked up ordeal. Krell uses Ocean Air. They treated my new amp box like it was crystal. It costs more initially, but saves in the long run.Good luck, John 
What components are manufactured in the U.S.A.?
Krell is made the good ol' US of A. BUT, there are no user serviceable parts inside :') If you take the cover off their equipment you will be amazed how aligned all the components are. Beautiful workmanship. Makes me want to get clear covers for a... 
Infinity Renaissance 90 or JBL 4425 ?
Howdy. I see you're still kicking around the Ren 90 speakers. I own a pair run with Krell equipment. To tell you the truth, some other speaker better really be something special to make me want to switch. They are really good speakers. I have thou...
