This won't help anyone right now, but when the TEF comes back, my goal is to acquire a complete set of real response curves for everything we can arrange regarding the stock Klipsch speakers and mods. Sorry if this sounds like pie in the sky, but we will have them!

The simplest solution I have is (if at all possible) to place them, toed-in at 45 degrees, in the corner. Many benefits - including the additional spatial loading of the low frequencies. "Toe-in is a real problem. The more there is, the more the midrange just screams at you." Let me interpret this! In order for you to hear sufficient LF energy, the highs kill you! This one is easy! As you toe them in with corner placement, you bring yourself into the on-axis energy of these frequencies!! And they

While others are most likely to become pretty granular in their responses, may I suggest that any of the higher sensitivity speakers will be fine. There are camps here who swear by this approach and others who are not so keen on the idea, but may I suggest that I have heard (the Heritage) series sound very fine with BOTH tube and SS amps. My only caveat with the low powered amps would be to resist running the amp in a non-linear range (eg at high output levels), as the distortion, while perhaps not

You have a PM

FYI If anyone is interested, here is one set of instructions and procedures for measuring and deriving the T/S parameters

From the description there doesn't seem to be an easy way that I can see. On this one, the only thing to do may simply be to download the removal tool and run it if you happen to have used, or will use any of the Sony media. Maybe someone will find and post more info if and when it becomes available... Thanks Paul for digging up the details and the fix!

Tom All well and good from your point of view (and I am not saying I necessarily disagree!!), but this is not a hard and fast statement of fact, but simply one side of the ongoing debate! And thus far, fair use has been the LOSER in the courts! So quoting past precedent does not change the

Max, I suspect that not too many are sourcing records in a forum that supports the ability to examine used vinyl in such a manner. But you are correct, that is the ideal way to buy used vinyl. It is a rare opportunity in the seemingly endless march to having all program material come from Questionable Buys or Wal-Mart! And regarding clicks and pops, I suspect that many may be using the same terms to mean slightly different things. While I believe you are using it to refer to the distinct click or

In what was intended as an 'automatic innoculant' generated by a 'white hat' source, a worm that was variously labeled by security vendors as Welchia, Blaster-D and Nachi, exploited the same DCOM RPC vulnerability that enabled the Blaster worm. But instead of doing damage, it's intent was to automatically download the Microsoft patch and remove the Blaster worm if it was present. In other words, to automatically innoculate all the machines it reached... Aditionally, the worm causesd system instability
