Bitcoins - digital currency
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency. Peer-to-peer (P2P) means that there is no central authority to issue new money or keep track of transactions. Instead, these tasks are managed collectively by the nodes of the network. Advantages:
- Bitcoins can be sent easily through the Internet, without having to trust middlemen.
- Transactions are designed to be computationally prohibitive to reverse.
- Be safe from instability caused by fractional reserve banking and central banks. The limited inflation of the Bitcoin system’s money supply is distributed evenly (by CPU power) throughout the network, not monopolized by banks.

Any value to this idea or will it never work?
TV is hung too high imo.
Not this crap again... just because you dont have the ability to get your mind out of the legacy financial gutter doesn't mean another reality isn't viable.
I bought these speakers using Bitcoin...
I had to walk the dealer thru the transaction but once everything was set up and transferred, the transaction was immediately settled.
For speaker scale, that's an 83" tv right schu?
razzlekhan would sound really good on those speakers
I think, without looking them up, I know what those are.
Also why not get perlistens if you're gonna spend a Escalade worth on speakers?
Bet they sound great tho.
I get asked that a lot... I am a die hard Klipsch fanatic. I was one of the founding members of the Paul W. Klipsch audio museum in Hope, AR.
The guy that I bought these from is a major Perlisten dealer.
For me I think it basically comes down to 'Scale'... there is just no replacement for displacement because everything sounds so LARGE. that doesnt mean loud, although these speakers will absolutely permanently damage your hearing.
They are basically Commercial theater main speakers and are usually used in iMax theaters and large auditoriums.
of course I have modified them also... I immediately replaced the stock commercial 2" Klipsch driver with a 5" Celestion Driver. These drivers are absolutely massive and heavy... the Celestion has a 7" diaphragm and weights more than 15lbs.
Spoiler
that right there is a 65"... the 83" is incoming.
here one speaker for scale on a commercial straight truck... two of them was ridiculous.
want to see something ridiculous?
Spoiler
for those that might have interest... this is the internal portion of the bass cabinet Design
Much better from that angle.

I've had nothing but Klipsch stuff for years, and can completely understand why you'd want those.
Did you get these from Paducah home theater? I've got a couple of speakers from that guy in the past if it happens to be them.
Tv is way to small for that room, which is crazy to say about a 65, and agree with House it should be Football lol.
Yeah... I know Cory the owner of Paducah.
That's an older baseball season photo.
Judge is awesome but, Direct radiating is for amateurs... because science.
Folded horns FTW!
:p
True that... then you think about the fact that Paul Klipsch designed the Klipschorn in 1947 and it has been in continuous production ever since to this very day and it still stands up against even the most modern speaker designs at a similar price point. Its shocking how good it sounds when the un-initiated hear a well set up pair being driven to an extremely clear +100db with only 2-3watts of amplifier power... when many modern speakers these days struggle to get to a good usable 90-95db with 200-300 watts or more.
The we can go back even further and marvel at some of the western electric theater speakers from the 1920's and come to realize that a art form has been mostly lost to time with the exception of a very few high-end speaker makers. There is a strong appreciation in western Europe, Japan and southeast Asia... so there is hope.

I'm gonna guess most people have no idea how loud 100db is, I know those can handle it but for most a sound bar is like "being at the game" or whatever.
I can only get like 65 db or so then my neighbor can hear my stuff :(. RP8060fas/2 SPL150s ect.
Maybe once a month I'll say F it and listen to a song or two fully juiced but that's about as much as I want to put them through lol.
Yeap... in an enclosed room, 100db is horribly loud, and these speakers are 108db efficient 'in room' with 1 watt. I have never wanted to try, but ai am sure they will easily pump out 140+db with near zero distortion.
I normally don't listen more than 80-85db, and that is plenty for me before in room reflections begin messing with my hearing.
It's great to know there is at least one other klipsch person on this forum enjoying their sound system.
BUY THE DIP!
Bet his speakers top out at 40dB max.
^this made me chuckle...
Alts are.so cheap right now... Hmmmm.
