Help - I've Got the Dreaded Transformer Growl....
A couple days ago another thread just like this appeared. " Power Amp Transformer Hum ". See if there were any answers for you. Good luck. MrD. 
Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers
And for the record, I would not switch to anything mentioned above. I would need to spend much more, to give me more. As far as a rock speaker, there is not a type of music that my system cannot handle, from low level late night listening to...….w... 
Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers
I am hoping the OP follows some of my Dynamat mods, because after he does, he will be hearing the Lascalas for the 1st time. After this, if he does not like them, I will drive down from Central Florida and pick them up ( if the price is right ). I...

DFW area ? Where is that ? 
Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000)
" No issues or concerns regarding the acoustics nor any interest in treating ". Forget my personal opinion. My professional opinion. This is a big mistake, especially as you are coming from a headphone background. Any speaker you place in your roo... 
Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers
If you damped your mid horns ( whether or not they are the earlier aluminum or the newer plastic units ), as well as some minor room treatment, your problems will be gone. Where do you live, as I am looking for another pair of Lascalas. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Power Amp transformer hum - intermittent and increases and decreases in a few seconds
FYI, One of my many power amps, a Smart Theater Systems TA 242 ( which is actually a beefed up Hafler 220 by design, and very musical ), experiences the transformer hum ( toroidal, chassis only ), when I use my OTR microwave. Have not tried a chea... 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
jsautter, although " Klipsch might be at the bottom rung on the ladder ", at their respective price points, they do more of what the Cessaros or AGs do than any other design. And with tweaks and modifications, they are still amazing at their lower... 
Easy to drive, outstandingly natural sound from 40-50 Hz up.....AN-E, O/96, others?
The newest Klipsch Lascalas, the AL5 
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
A speaker that can handle peaks cleanly at 110 db from listening 12 feet away is the primary decision maker for me. Give me a good set of horns, any day. Now, this is ME. An individual, a specific type of listener. I do not expect, nor would expec... 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
I believe the takeaway here is Klipsch might have it’s faults ( what doesn’t ), but they do more right, musically, than anything else at their respective price points ( to us fanboys ). And for those who understand the weaknesses, and know the sec... 
Thinking about buying new speakers....the Elac Uni Fi5 towers or the Klipsch hersery lll
I have been living / selling / modifying Klipsch Heritage ( the Heresy is the smallest of the 5 models designed solely by PWK ) for 50 years, and with every other speakers I have owned, or have heard, these others always sounded boring, compressed... 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
For me it was not all in the preamp. When I went passive ( Luminous Axiom Walker mod unit ), I began to hear all of my recordings for the 1st time. 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
Several excellent reviews are out. 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
@florida71, you too are showing your ignorance, and individuality. Enjoy ! MrD.
