    RF-5 vs CF-2

    Hello fellow Klipsch fans, I have been working my way up the Klipsch line up for the last couple of years, with the progression as follows: KG3.5 => KG4 => KG5.2 => Quartets => Epic CF-1. When I had the CF-1s side by side with the Quartets, I found I preferred the clean, detailed, and...

    Klipsch K-33 woofer mystery

    A pair of early Cornwalls came into my shop with the complaint that bass was lacking on (only) one of them. Investigation revealed that the "good" speaker had a nicely labeled and original looking K-33j woofer. The other has a woofer which is missing a magnet cover with any identification, but...

    Centre for Bipolar Mirage M3

    Looking to find a speaker to centre between Mirage M-3's in a home theatre behind an acoustically transparent screen. I can get a Mirage OM-C2 that matches for $350 Cdn but was curious if I might find a contemporary neutral floorstander/bookshelf that could do a better job. I'm considering a Kef...

    Choosing speakers for McIntosh 2505 + C25 power amp

    I’m quite unhappy with my Quads paired with my McIntosh 2505 and C26. I went as far as adding a pricy SVS subwoofer but am finally going to bite the bullet and try to find a better pairing for my beautiful McIntosh. I would prefer to spend $1k for speakers. The room has one open wall that...

My current amps are an NAD 3155, Sony ST-6060, and HK 930, with the NAD the main amp in use right now. I have some pretty decent sounding bookshelf speakers but am looking for...

    I opened up the Forte iv's and made a few images as well as a hand-drawn sketch for both the capacitor values and the resistor values. I could not really find this info anywhere and I was eager to know since folks seem to like to upgrade the heritage crossovers. That said, I will probably not...

    Finally Fixed Up the kg4's! - pics

    I've made some posts about these in the past, but long story short: My dad bought these Klipsch kg4s back in the late 80s. For my whole life they sat in the garage getting dusty. Pulled them down a few months ago and found one tweeter is out and something sounded off. Bought new titanium...

    Best crossover replacement for Lascalas

    I am going to replace the crossover networks on my 1984 AL crossover Klipsch Lascalas. I have gone through the old threads and they (for the most part) have left me a little dizzy. Currently, neither one of the K 77 tweeters are working at all. So, before I replace the tweeters I think that...

    Klipsch R41 M bookshelf speakers

    Hey, picked some up from Goodwill recently--neither one works at all. I pulled a driver, hooked it up directly to wires, sounded great. What might be going on here? Worth getting it fixed, or could I part it out to salvage my investment? Klipsch R41 M. I also got a Klipsch center speaker, same...

    Ads l810 vs Heresy ii - which one?

    Both are around the same price. I will not be able to hear both before buying, nor have I heard them before. I have McIntosh ma6100, Sansui 221 and Yamaha 410ii. From sound perspective, I lean towards high frequencies more than ultra low end. Not that I don't want low end, but IF it was a...

    As if I needed more speakers...

    Picked these up yesterday - Klipsch Forte II's and Klipsch KLF-20's. Both in very nice shape with only one broken grill stud. Sort of a lucky purchase.

    Speakers countering vinyl record sound interference?!

    Hello all. Newbie here. I recently bought a pair of Klipsch R51m for a small play room in my house. And I discovered that pops and cracks from my records are dramatically softened and quieted on these speakers than my previous sets. I even set up a direct comparison with an old pair to test...
