| WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER? I had on loan a pair of Extrema, owned by an importer friend of mine. After several months, I realized they were one of the greatest speakers I had the pleasure of having in my listening room. They loved the juice. My 2 best powerful amps at the t... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised roxy, that is awesome. You cannot over damp the horn, but be sure you can still re-install the horn. The lip at the face of the horn needs to still fit into the baffle cutout, so the thicker you go, you need to leave space behind the lip ( widest ... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Many great renditions of Hallelujah, but I like Jeff Buckley ( from Grace ), with K.D. Lang as a close 2nd. But as I said, many good performances of this. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised @oldschoolsounds, many speaker companies use a " ring " between the driver and the cabinet ( foam, rubber, paper/cardboard ), but I believe it is used to suppress energy from the driver to the cabinet, and the reverse, to suppress energy from the ... | |
| TASH SULTANA Watched and listened to all of her youtube stuff. She is a talent for sure, and has passion beyond most. Thx again yyzsantabarbara & amg56 ! Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Is this thread serious ? Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised wolf, a typo I am sure. Detained, detailed. I am happy, if you guys want to do damping, that is up to you. I am happy if you do not. It was, and still is, a very significant tweak Klipsch owners have been doing for 50 or so years ( I am not the on... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised Remove the mid horns of the Forte 111s, and dampen them from the rear, using a product like dynamat. Do it in abundance and evenly, re-install them, and you will hear gobs more detail. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Klipsch Heresy III vs Forte III I am extremely pleased that listeners are finally taking Klipsch speakers seriously ( specifically the Heritage line ). I have been using and listening to them for almost 50 years, have been modifying them for almost that long, and have provided m... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised My response will lack brevity, as indicated by wolf. The Forte line ( and Chorus line ) are not bass reflex designs. They use sub bass radiators ( rear ) which are operating on the acoustic pressure being generated by the active woofers ( front ) ... | |
| Serious Passive Preamp question I will not name the units, because I know and respect the manufacturers, and will not harm sales by them in any way. My justification and value of my opinions to any of you is unimportant to me. I am just stating the facts of what I am hearing. En... | |
| Serious Passive Preamp question Some months back I went passive, and found I was fortunate that my gear ( sources and amp ) were very passive capable. I had a tube pre and a ss pre, both of very high standards and recognized in the audio community for being excellent ( which I w... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P39F and Probably the Entire line Major issue! " And even with the detached surrounds they still sound great ". Really ? Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? They retail at $2499.95 each, now they are $1999.95 ea., on their web site. I suppose they are on sale ( it seems everyone is now selling them at 4K ). As far as they being a matched pair, knowing Yamaha, I am sure the tolerances are quite close b... | |
| Serious Passive Preamp question I went passive recently, but held on to my preamp until I was sure I was happy with the passive. Passive is not for everybody. IMO, I do not think it wise to do the trade. Enjoy ! MrD. |
