Came down with flu so I hope the Klipschs will still be there when I can get out again.

Excellent! I did look at the backs and there are no passive radiators, thus I conclude they are the T30's. This afternoon I may go down there and see what they are asking for them fully prepared to give them a history lesson on how these are Klipschs' low-ball model. Used in HT mode I won't worry too much about a thin bass response.

I really appreciate the input given so far. Specs I had looked at but I'm still not sure if the speakers in question are the 30's or the 40's, but if the price is right I just might take a shot at them. Looking at the construction I knew full well they weren't going to be any kind of flagship model but the right price point might just make them mine.

Out slumming today and ran across a pair of Klipsch Tangent speakers, either the Tangent 30 or Tangent 40 model. I started my research after I got home because I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at. I could swear the rear sticker said "T90 W2" but I can't find any such info on the Klipsch website. By reviewing their archives I reckon them to be the 30's or 40's. Does anyone have any experience with either model or have a sense of quality and price point? They are a bit dirty but are intact as far as I could quickly observe. One had a missing nameplate and a dirty grillcloth. Both had a thick layer of dust on the terminals suggesting they have been sitting for a while. No cone rot was evident and the cabinets looked about as good as you might expect for a 20yr old pair of speaks. No price was marked on them which means they will cost whatever each shopkeeper thinks they should cost. I would relegate them to HT use so they don't need to be LaScala's or anything. Info seems to be fairly scarce. Thoughts please.

Perhaps something like this will help resolve the range issue?

Absolutely beautiful!

Your woodwork is outstanding, Jazzman, and I'm wondering if I ever need something built if you're available for hire. Really nice work!

My hat goes off to you and anyone who can do quality woodwork. Enjoy the K-horns.

Thanks Geoff, I may dig deeper to see how Cruzados stack up. @zumbini, I believe I have Wolf on a hard drive somewhere so I'll have to revisit. Here's the song that just nailed it for me about Los Lobos, high craft and excellent arrangements.

I have a couple of Los Lobos CD's that I really like, and some not so much. I find I really like The Ride and Kiko but By The Light of The Moon leaves me a little cold. Can anyone familiar with their catalog steer me to another good choice, please?

Tanner, you've had just one post but from reading through it I can tell you're going to be another lifer. Welcome to thecarversite.

Aside from a number of Joe Jackson albums I would submit the debut CD from the Psychodots Here's a CD that shows just what can be done when three strong musicians form a power-pop trio and craft a truly great record. It's tough to find now but can be had at artist-shop.com

Welcome, Dave. How are things in souf ballmer?

I've never been a lyrics or vocals kind of listener preferring to hear great instrumentation, music construction, tonality, etc. I like the drama in music far more than any "message" the musician may be intending. That said, I've been listening to a lot of Freak Kitchen lately. (my gawd they are good! ) One of the tunes that instantly caught my attention is one called . I'm also impressed how IA's impossible guitar solo plays into the lyrics as if delivering the focus of the message. Stunning musicianship and creativity. That junkie logic is bound to fail We've heard it all before You defend yourself with tooth and nail But never fight the downward spiral war Here we go again (chorus) When everything is said and everything is done One could always suck the barrel of a gun Get your shit together, beat that rotten past There's no way your starving soul would ever last (another) Heroin Breakfast Every time you're getting back on track And at least feel semi-well You take a colorful little something With side effects from Hell Hell! Here we go again (chorus) When everything is said and everything is done One could always suck the barrel of a gun Get your shit together, beat that rotten past There's no way your starving soul would ever last (another) Heroin Breakfast (chorus repeat)

Aren't they flip-flopped?

A man who's changed against his will Is of the same opinion still

Dude, you found us. Welcome home.

Must be like getting blasted by an air-raid siren.

He who knows how shall never lack work. But he who knows why will be bossing the jerk.

Gary Oldman and Tim Roth............I try to catch everything either one makes.

The title of this thread caught my attention because just last week I saw a show, on Nova I think, where several musical savants were studied. The host got into an MRI machine having his brain scanned while listening to a piece of classical music that he knew and enjoyed very much. The MRI observed the brain activity. Then he was scanned again but this time he was only to recall the same piece of music and the MRI revealed a great deal more brain activity. The mental rehearsal stimulated far more activity than actually hearing the music. The point? Bear with me while I stitch this together. My alarm goes off every morning at 4:00am with the radio often playing some intricate jazz interplay or some snippet of a Baroque masterpiece. There I lie in a semiconscious state until a piece of music catches my attention and I can literally feel my brain bounce into action absorbing the sound. This happens in a state where I know the radio is on but have no connection to the fact. It's quite a sensation, really.
