    KLH Model Nine’s Incoming

    Rich, I've had a few conversations with David. He seemed like a good guy and knowledgeable about them. For whatever reason, we never connected to achieve something. However, I think I will contact him about tweeter panels though. I dont recall him ever mentioning them. I also have one set of...

    KLH Model Nine’s Incoming

    From my experience, I do not believe ANY pair of original KLH Nines will play well without intervention and repair. It sure has not happened for me. In fact, most I have come across were put into storage because they needed repair. Just an FYI FWIW.

    KLH Model Nine’s Incoming

    Rich, It took a while to accumulate seven pair and each involved a road trip. The first pair was a gift from a guy in Toronto that I met through Audiokarma. Another really rough pair was a gift from a guy in Pittsburgh that found them in the basement of a house he was renovating that had been...

    KLH Model Nine’s Incoming

    Rich, So glad you're enjoying these fantastic speakers. I would add that if you have the room, they sound even better when multiple pairs are setup, side by side. KLH even made a bracket to connect two pair. The bracket was about a 30 degree angle. I own 7 pair of KLH Nines and have...

    Picking Up a Jolida FX 10

    Chris, Still waiting for the return of my amp... and it's been more than 3 months since I asked for it back. I'd like it back. In fact, I want it back. I Thought I was clear enough a couple months ago, but perhaps the message was lost somehow. You even promised to return it 11 days ago and...

    Picking Up a Jolida FX 10

    Hey Chris, I'd like to get my Jolida amp back from you. I've been trying to reach you... I think I have the incorrect phone number for you and PMs don't seem to be making it through.. Can you PM me? Thanks Dan

    SL3 panels, what to do with them?

    I have no idea what would make you think that... He can go to Justrealmusic.com to buy kits/parts or have a complete supply built for him... There are other sources and how-to books as well. FYI, I am not affiliated with any of them, but I have had Russ repair some KLH Nines for me.

    They have arrived :-)

    Those look great! Congratulations.

    SL3 Replacement Woofers

    The rebuilding process would be more expensive because of labor cost than new panels. They don't even make you return the ones you replaced because the freight cost is far more than any value. Let's think about what a panel is: 1. Two sheets of perforated metal that is curved in a press and...

    SL3 Replacement Woofers

    Martin Logan is in a quandary regarding parts pricing. If they charge you $ 75 for a woofer and the panels are the $300 that they should be, somehow it's hard to justify why a new pair speakers cost $ 5,000.

    SL3 panels, what to do with them?

    Edward, All you need to do is build a 2,500 to 3,000 volt DC very limited amperage power supply and the step up the audio signal about 50 times. Is this something you'd be comfortable doing?

    I suggest a group order of panels

    Panels I'd be interested as well. Frankly, I fear for the future of a brand that appears to be under pressure to make changes, at a time when it is in sales record setting mode. Makes you wonder if it's a viable offering at all. On the other hand, moving production to Canda cannot be...

    Michigan Retail Adventure - Royal Oak

    As much as I'd like to, this week, I can't :(

    Michigan Retail Adventure - Royal Oak

    I am in too if we can do it during the week... BTW, he's a nice guy. He previously worked out of his house, but I haven't been to his showroom yet.. He even let me try out a Ear 834 phono preamp for about a month.. I know he's a Rega and Music Hall dealer and has quite a few other nice lines.

    Dealer panel Price very doubtful!

    Not to be argumentative.. that simply is not true. Raw steel, aluminum and copper costs have all come down significantly in the last couple years. The prep on the panel and the powder coating is likely more expensive than the formed perforated steel. Frankly, there simply is not a lot of cost...

    Dealer panel Price very doubtful!

    Dealers Perhaps, it is just the salesman you contacted. I would definitely try someone else, even in the same store. The salesman could be mistaken, or trying to make more commission.. who knows. If that doesn't work, I'd ask for the owner, explain what you know and ask for his help. More than...

    Chicago Shooutout: ML Summits vs Sanders 10b

    Boy, would I like to make it to this meet. It sure would be worth the drive. Unfortunately, the lake I have a cottage on has "Tip Up" this weekend and I'd hate to miss it, but the weather forecast is for rain... Maybe? CAP, do you have any interest in sharing a ride?

    Back-lighting?

    If you look on ebay, you'll find 12 Volt LEDs sold with resistors for auto lighting applications. They are available in various colors and brightness for very cheap. You can use those with a 12V powerpack. Use as many/few as you desire and get creative... I want a clear M/L engraved plaque that...

    Michigan get together III

    Get together.. Chris, I'm hoping to be able to say yes, but at the moment, both weekends are doubtful. Summer month weekends are tough for me. Thanks for the invite anyway. Will advise if plans change. Dan
