Hello, all. New to the forum.
« on: November 04, 2010, 06:47:12 PM »
Hello, all.

Picked up a pair of Klipsch Heresy's at Vintage Hi-Fi, yesterday. I will power them with some Dynaco MKII's.

This is my 4th pair of Heresy's since the Seventies.  Originally I had the Industrial models, which were stolen.  They were replaced with standard Heresy's and I also picked up some KP-250's for DJ work.  The KP's have a DriveRack and a Macrotech 3600 providing the juice for them and their KP-115 subs.  My large DJ system has 2 EAW SB180's, 2 EAW FR253's and 2 JBL slot tweeters.  Another DriveRack feeds a MA3600, MA2400, MA600 and a pair of D75's for the large system.  Bozak 10 2DL and Rane 2016 combo mixers are my favorite.  For DJ processing gear I use an FBX2400, a dbx 3bx III, an exr Exciter and a dbx 120x DS.  I am partial to Technics SL-1200 turntables and Technics SLP-1200 CD Players and have a Denon DN-D9000.  I also have four Split LaScala's, with Fiberglas and aluminum trim.
 :o
For home use I have a pair of Dahlquist DQ10's and a Velodyne 12" sub.  Each DQ has a DC300A (mono) to drive it and a White Instruments 1/3 octave EQ.  The front end is a Denon AVP-8000.  Feeding the AVP are a Denon DN-C615 CD Player, a Denon DN-1050R Mini Disc Recorder, a Denon DN-770R Dual Tape Recorder and a Technics SL-1200 turntable.  An SCE Harmonic Recovery System is in the loop for processing.
 ;D

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Hi Bill!

I have some good news and some bad news for you.

The good news is that I remember hearing those Dahlquist DQ10's & they sound V nice!

The bad news is that your name has already been taken.

Welcome, and we wait anxiously to find out what your name will be.

Regards,

Bill

Welcome Bill!!! Sounds like a pretty sweet setup you have there with the DQ-10's. Wish I had a chance to play with mine before I blew them up! Remember...200 watt rated continuous...

Thank you.  Maybe I'll get to them on Sunday.  No Steeler game....
Have to help a friend out with some production work on Friday and Saturday.
Heresy's have been my favorite speaker, since the late Seventies, for small gigs and fills.

A mono DC300 only puts out 600 watts peak, but I promise to be careful.  They were upgraded, back in the Eighties, with IOC circuits.  So I can easily monitor them for clipping.

I try to be careful with my PA stuff, also.  I use a MA3600 with my KP-115/KP-250 combo's.
Although that amp will pump 1565W @ 4 ohms stereo, I don't use any compression; so the average is much lower.

I have four dbx 160x's which I no longer use when doing gigs.  They might be good for live PA with a band... but for DJ work they don't make sense to me.  I prefer to have lots of headroom.  I even use PIP CLPs to keep from creating square waves.   ;D

Ryan,

Thanks for the welcome. 
I have an AR-15, a Model 59 and Super Blackhawk for "security."
I promise I won't post my social security number, though.

I haven't done the mirror imaging, yet. 
I may research that in the future. 
It was a very popular mod, back in the day.
