[NavLinear]

OH MY GOD PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really????????????? Can't even imagine what it's sounding like in your world.

Besides the fact I'm green with envy, I was just thinking:

 

[Pure_Brew]

But oh wouldn't these be a nice addition!

 

[speakerman1]

I would just be happy to be in the running. They come up about once a year. Really they go pretty reasonable.

 

[Fairchild]

So it was you last night, I thought it was thunder but the sun was out. lol

Watched those during the original auction, I was tempted.

Yep that was me. Gotta hook the monster up to em and see exactly what they are cabable of, as the Spec 2 was out of it's comfort zone on the Soniphase. Gonna take about twice the watts on the soniphase to get as loud as the K's. I'll reserve fonal judgement for a couple weeks till the S6's get broke in, but so far I like the way the K's sound better. It's an unfair comparison right now as the S6's are halfway in the room and the same frequencies are hitting at different times, and still playing with cutoff points and rolloff db's. As far as filling a place with sound............DAYAM!!

Yes Dennis really. I've read numerous books on Paul Wilbur Klipsch, the first one provided by Al Klappenberger when I bought the replacement drivers and crossovers for the K's. Ya got a free book for your 1800.00 order. It's been said PWK didn't design and build speakers, he designed and built musical instruments.......and the more I hear other speakers, the more I'm inclined to agree with that. How do you argue with the fact that a speaker, with as trendy as they can get, be in continuous production since 1947?? They really are phenomenal, and with the improvements via Al K's crossovers and 2" throat drivers, maybe there isn't anything better, for me anyway. Take that with a grain of salt though as I am a babe in the woods when it comes to the number of high end speakers I have personally heard. But I believe I can say in all fairness, one would have to lay down SOME SERIOUS cash to even come close. The clean, clear reproduction along with the dynamic range of the K's still amazes me, and I've had these since 1984. Had a pair in the late 70's and in search of better sold them and bought a pair of Ohm Model F's. I would ;like to have a pair of "F"'s again just because, but not to replace the K's. It must get old to see me constantly up on my soapbox about the K's, but that's the way I feel about em. PWK got it right, the first time out. Simply amazing. Anybody who says they are not a rock and roll speaker hasn't heard mine. I think Skratch and James Burke can attest to the fact(along with a lot of locals) that they do rock extremely well.

NOW THAT"S A WOOFER!!!!!!!!

 

[laatsch55]

A lot of fiddlin around to get things to sound right. Levels, cutoff, rolloff.........

 

[Skratch]

Until you get them into acoustic phase with your K horns they are going to be loud but sound like s%^&*& Once you get them right you will know it. All of a sudden WOW???

It's amazing that many of the brilliant minds conceive their deigns/ideas at a fairly early age - not saying that they don't have lots to contribute at a later age but it seems that the most brilliant ones do their best work very early in life. I have never heard the K horns - something to look forward to. Maybe we should have the first Phoenix meet in your neck of the woods - fly into Denver and drive. You're one of the main guys here - makes sense to me.

Or at least provide the signal for seismographers. They use "thumper" trucks a lot instead of dynamite. Perhaps we shopuld present them with theoption of ......say..... EVX-155 shock waves..........????????????


Kevin--heard Alpha is laying off another 1200, most of them in your area, jeez man how much more can you guys take...

Yea Lee they are..... Thats going to really hurt... Like these parts aint bad enough... All In Va. and West Va. Pretty sure they closed two mines in Wise County....

 

[kevin]

I been watching these things since Scratch started cutting out the wood.... I gotta ask a stupid questinon.... Where is the high end coming from... I dont see any kind of mids or tweets.... What am I missing ?

 

[laatsch55]

Nothing Kevin. I figured the hi end is handled admirably well by the K's. It is totally up to you as to what you want to use up there. There's room for about any combination of horn and tweet. That horn and tweet combo with crossover is another 1800.00. So for 3300.00 a guy can have an ass-kickin' speaker pair.

 

[laatsch55]

Fixin to give them another 500 watts a channel tonight so that should tell us something. The poor Spec just gets em past idle.
