    Klipsch heritage vs. vintage Yamaha

    I am totally satisfied with my NS-690 MkII. They are an excellent speaker set and I love them. However I have been getting interested in old Klipsch. A lot of people praise their horn sound and they've got me wondering. I really want to hear a set. Given european prices, Cornwalls are a bit...

    New Forte III "nerfed"

    So I'm still up (don't ask) and I get this email from Kipsch about the new Forte III. Interested, I opened it up. Great special edition in colors I don't like for 2000 each. No info on the regular edition, I was wondering if pricing would be better. But behold, the specs are up. I know the...

    Hi Everyone - Looking for guidance on the correct way to add this KSW10 sub to my SX-1050 setup (Heresy II's, Marantz 6300 TT.) Can I do it with the Line In RCA cables only? What do i connect to on the back of the receiver? Been futzing for an hour now and no joy! ~Erik

    DIY remote bass knob

    I want to put together a wired bass controls for my Klipsch powered subwoofer. Just a knob to control level and crossover, just like you do on the back of the unit. I'll probably just replace the pots. To my knowledge, this doesn't exist as a product I could buy. Anyone have any luck doing...

    Klipsch Forte - What to Expect

    I posted this over on the Klipsch website, but thought there may be value in gaining some additional perspective. Back when I sold my MAs, and was in the process of refinishing my Soliloquy, I had placed a local classified ad looking for a set of floorstanders or large bookshelves. A couple of...

    Going price for an excellent pair of Klipsch Quartets?

    Hi all, I have a line on a very, very nice pair of these. What is the current going rate for local sale? They have consecutive serial numbers, not that I particularly care. Seller is asking $600.

    Stereo Image Center Shifted with Fancy (Used) Receiver vs. Vintage

    Hey all, bear with me as I try to clearly communicate what is going on in my noob head. So...I have a Sansui 661, Marantz 2230, and McIntosh MC250 hooked up to some Klipsch Quartets. It sounded good but I wanted to see what some modern electronics would do to the room. Not really looking to...

    First time buying Klipsch heritage - La Scala

    Just picked up my first ever Klipsch heritage speakers! Found an excellent pair of original La Scala. In great shape overall, just needing some cleaning inside and out. The raw birch is interesting and unique. I plan on leaving the unfinished wood as-is, since it adds character. I am rebuilding...

    In a Pinch: Vintage Polk Audio Speakers or new Klipsch R24s?

    I was waiting on buying a Klipsch system because of their reputation for quality, but after a few months I got impatient. I bought a pair of vintage Polk Audio RTA-12B floor standing speakers (I paid $150 but they retailed at about $1000 30 years ago). I also have a 12 inch Jamo subwoofer that I...

    New system sounds a little muddy!

    Hey everyone, I just put together a new system without auditioning anything and it's sounding a bit muddy to me. Also, the s' on a lot of vocals are sounding a bit distorted, which I'm hyper sensitive to so it's driving me crazy. Here's what I got: Rega Planar 2 (NEW) Ortofon 2m Blue (NEW) Rega...

    Klipsch CORNWALL Serial # Confusion

    I have been researching the serial numbering for the original Cornwall speaker from 1959. Not much out there except for the "1948-1961 #### (0121) starting #0121" on Klipsch Heritage S/N Date Code decoder. There was a Cornwall speaker for sale on the Klipsch forum last December and the owner...

    New System setup and troubleshooting in winter home

    This is the year we became snowbirds. We have a place in South Carolina and it is an audio horror story. The system was to go in the living room which is the main area of the house, there were also issues with keeping "She who must be obeyed" happy. With this in mind, my initial thought was to...

    Heresy Project

    Roughly 5yrs ago I updated/Upgraded Forte IIs with the Crites Magic Parts. The results were magnificent and I suspect that the speakers will be good for another 30yrs. At another location, I was not happy with the sound of the current system: Yamaha RX-A860, M-L Edge in-wall (R&L), M-L SLM...

    Klipsch KG-4s with Sansui AU-7500

    Hello all, this is my first post. I've been a lurker for years and decided to make an account as I’ve been making some advances in my setup lately. I scored a Sansui AU-7500 recently, which I love the sound of. I’ve been using it with some less than ideal Ohm Model E speakers, which just sound...

    Sansui 9090db

    Is anti diffraction material on the baffle needed for horns?

    I see a lot of speakers that have very wide cabinets, and horn tweeters with several inches of baffle on either side, such like Klipsch Cornwalls. I would think then perhaps, since the wave is guided out and away from the speaker, anti-diffraction material not necessary?

    Klipsch KG-4 - a few questions (at the end of a long story)

    I know, these are probably most talked about speakers at least in Klipsch line. And well liked as well. Thats why I got me a pair. Well, actually, the story is a bit more complicated: While I am myself a pretty recent convert into vintage audio, I have a friend who followed in my footsteps and...

    Hi all, About a year ago ( or slightly more) I got back into Vinyl and vintage audio in general. Since then it has been a rollercoaster of amps, receivers and most of all speakers. And this forum is where I get most of my information about the equipment. Pouring over the reviews and opinions...
