| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) Roy Delgado, the fellow who worked along side PWK, and the guy now running things engineering wise over at Klipsch, has stated many times in articles, that he would keep the original Heritage designs intact, as they are wonderful designs, and stil... | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) I have heard many products that measure horribly, but sound excellent, and many products that measure extremely well, but did not sound favorable, to me. I just turned 65, and every birthday, I treat myself to a visit with my audiologist, as well ... | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) I could remind folks, that JA also indicated that the cabinet resonances he measured, would likely not be audible with music playing, although, I believe, they can still be improved. Most wood bodied musical instruments vibrate, just to be clear. ... | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) If I am not mistaken, in the 1st paragraph of JA's measurements, he states that he took the measurements, while the Khorn was on a dolly, in AD's driveway. Not that it matters. JA owns a pair of Altec 19s, and feels they are wonderful, if you read... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition.... d2girls, Hi, it’s grandpa. I am surprised you are still at it. So much anger, hostility, and I am guessing you heard a pair, set up properly in a room, with excellent ancillary gear, and made your comments based on that. Once again, I am seeing th... | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) George, what is your point ? I do not feel, reading the measurements, that they are harder to drive than many others, just not as easy for a 2a3 flea watt tube amp. An 8wpc tube amp seemed to sound good, to Art. It would not, to me, that is for su... | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO drkingfish, it was the " date " itself, that made me even notice it, as " that date " hits a nerve with me, as I am sure, you know why. All good. Great post ! Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO To the OP...yesterday was 8 / 11, as an fyi, and I enjoyed your posts..... As far as Phase Linear, Carver and Sunfire. I sold the original PL 400s and 700s, and owned them as well. Many of my clients were DJs, and never did I experience a reported... | |
| Help on ancient Audionics CC-2s I owned CC2s. Someone above mentioned darkness to the sound, which describes many amplifiers from the past. When I purchased, originally for kicks, the Nuforce STA 200 in early 2017, I began selling many amplifiers from my collection. I am in no w... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps An amp chassis that has proper mass and weight, ime, has better resolve of details, based on minimizing acoustic and mechanical resonance and vibration. A perfect example is the application of Dynamat extreme to the top lid, sides and bottom of th... | |
| WAF Speaker suggestions On 9/25/18, you posted a similar thread, asking for recommendations on replacing your Vandys, as they did not have the sound you wanted at low listening levels, and, the wife did not like the looks of the socks on the Vandys. Have you looked at yo... | |
| Klipsch, high end? " High end " audiophile equipment can be reasonably priced gear, or, can fringe on being ridiculously out of bounds, financially, to most. If I recall, Harry Pearson was the 1st to use, and refer, the term, high end. Back in the day, a Nad 3020 am... | |
| Selling my dads top of the line system To the OP. Sorry for your loss, and my condolences to you and your family. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @georgesallit325...nice review, as you posted it earlier on this page. @johnk. We obviously listen differently, and want, and enjoy, different things. This was apparent when we had a debate between Lascalas and Altec 19s. I have owned a pair or tw... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations mahlman, I know you, from the " bay ", as I recognize those huge full range horn speakers in ur warehouse. Place them in a 15 by 20 room, a standard sized listening room for many, and yes, they would be overwhelming, both visually, and acousticall... |
