    My New Klipsch RP15s

    So, ever since I spotted, Klipsch's home theater line of speakers for the masses, I've wanted to try them. I remember seeing them all the way back in the 10s. But they were too expensive back then for my budget. Fast forward to today, and I'm sitting across from them setup in my living room. I'm...

    Klipsch Chorus II's, extra speaker wire input on back???

    Hi all, I just purchased a pair of Klipsch Chorus II's, and noticed multiple places to attach the speaker wire. It looks professionally done, but why, escapes me. Anyone have any ideas? I greatly appreciate all input. Thanks, Mark

    Acquired a pair of Klipsch KG1 bookshelves- seeking woofer replacement recommendations and other advice.

    Hello! Been awhile for me posting here. I bought a pair of KG1s for cheap. One has a shredded woofer (I am feeling those we’re not the original woofers): Can anyone recommend a good 6.5” replacement? One of the grilles is missing, so I am thinking I can fabricate one that matches out of...

    Help -- looking to ID this obscure klipschorn cabnet.

    Bought this from a seller here in the front range who didn't seem to know too much about the how/where his late father came to collect this piece. From the research I've done, I cant seem to find and ID on the head unit. Any info would be helpful.

    Klipsch H700: removing front baffle

    Hey everyone, I have a pair of Klipsch H700s that I absolutely love, but they’re the early versions where the grilles aren’t removable. And though my son is only two and a half weeks old, I’ve begun to realize that it won’t be that long before he’s grabbing and touching the speakers as he...

    Harman Kardon 230A basic upgrades/restoration

    Hey all — I have a Harman Kardon 230A from the “minimalist” HK era, and it sounds sweet. Very warm but still nicely defined. So I should caveat what I’m about to ask by saying that I already am quite pleased with the amp. But I recently hooked it up to my Klipsch Heresys, and the sound is so...

    Klipsch SW 115 Subwoofer

    OK, picked up a Klipsch SW 115 at a local pickup ShopGoodWill (online bidding) center here in Las Vegas. Got it for less than $40, but I had no idea how BIG and HEAVY it was. 70 pounds, a beast. My first thought is try to sell it locally for a small markup, but if that fails, and assuming the...
