| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Hopefully if this thread continues there will not be any trolling, just satisfied and happy horn owners. However, maybe a new thread with a different title, saying something like " To all horn owners ". Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus Wolf, the series II horns are the same way, with all of the ridges. Unlike Roxy, I feel it does need to be near perfect. Each piece needs to be cut identically ( per pair ) and adhered to each horn in the same area of the horn. This is why I say i... | |
| What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus Wolf, yes, and a few pair of Cornwall IIIs( I have done many pair of various models ). Not difficult, but very labor intensive, but worth it. If you PM me, I can give you more info. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? Properly designed loudness controls, Schitt Loki, or another eq ( in the tape monitor loop ), would answer your concern. Headphones are another route to take. I am not a scientist, but been in this hobby for so long, these are my experiences. Spea... | |
| NuForce STA 200 Keep in mind the STA 200 amp has an input sensitivity of .45 volts and a gain of 34.5 db. It was designed with the intent of the user to feed straight into it, the Nuforce dac, which puts out just a bit under 1.5 volts. Using any preamp, with gain... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @devaultcarl1, I do not think it is cool to promote selling products on the forums, although, Audiogon has lowered their standards on much of this. You need to post them on the " classifieds " side. This is just my opinion. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @audiotroy You beat me to it ! | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @questforsound the op is upgrading from the Kef Reference 3, if you have read any of this thread, specifically the OP's system. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Klipsch vs Infinity Tomic601....Yes, this was when the audio was monaural. I do not agree. I do not know anyone having this " single center " today in a stereo 2 channel set up. Maybe a pair of Cornwalls, keeping the L & R independent. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Klipsch vs Infinity @auxinput.......Khorns are full range horns, not just the mids and tweeters. @rvito . I, too, recommend the Khorns. However, they are quite far apart ( 17 ), and based on your listening seat, you could get a " hole in the middle ". My rule would b... | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. Brian, welcome. Very insightful, and appreciated from your point of view. I have been at this audio thing for almost 50 years, and was in the consumer audio industry ( NYC ). I knew many musicians, and spent some time in studios. Most of the equip... | |
| What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus @rxonmymind...….Have you damped the mid horns of your Bells ? I have been advocating this simple mod on a couple of threads here ( a big subject on the Klipsch site forums ). It truly takes the speakers to another level. Enjoy ! | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel Good luck to you. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel The Lascalas are also 104 db, but with the bass roll off of the Lascala, I believe this is the comparison being made here ( imo ). Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? A couple of things. Looking around, more and more integrated amps, and similar products, are bypassing having a preamp section altogether, taking the source and switching, only, into the amp stage. My top of the line Sony cd player, many years ago... |
