| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Allsmiles,I upgraded the crossover networks myself. I was a crypto tech in the Air Force for 10 years and in electronics school, had to learn how to troubleshoot down to the component level. The crossover networks are fairly simple, they just are ... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Allsmiles,The statement "you have not hear Klipsch until you've heard them with upgraded crossovers" is 110% dead on. I've heard my Klipsch KLF-20's and Klipsch Chorus II's with their original crossovers and then after I upgraded them. No doubt ab... | |
| Klipsch KLF-20 vs. RF-7 speakers Soundguy,Interesting comment about "not upgrading" the original crossover that has possibly the cheapest parts possible. I run my KLF-20's and Chorus II's with an EAD CD-1000 mkIII and EICO HF-81 integrated tube amp, both of which I wouldn't consi... | |
| What speakers to use with Sophia Baby? Larryx7,You can't go wrong with Klipsch and tubes. I use a pair of Klipsch Chorus II's and an EICO HF-81 with 14watts/ch. The sound is to die for. Dynamics, soundstage and midrange are awesome. Just one note, if you go with Klipsch, it is an absol... | |
| benefits of adding a power amp to a budget system? Wilsynet,Read the thread that was started on 5-26-06 that is titled "Will increasing the size of the amp improve sound quality".Not knowing what your budget is, has some influence on the best answer. However, if your budget is $300 or less, I woul... | |
| Klipsch vs Maggies decisions Tm093,Congrats on the Klipsch purchase! Get a decent, doesn't have to be high dollar, tube amp and you'll be lovin' life. The RF series already have the nicer titanium diaphrams, so all you need to do to your RF's are to upgrade the stock crossove... | |
| Will increasing size of amp improve sound quality? Perkadin,Nobody ever said anything about "replacing a few parts with larger versions of themselves in a crossover network....". You obviously have never heard the before and after of a Klipsch crossover network that has been upgraded with better p... | |
| Will increasing size of amp improve sound quality? Jack,I believe the RB-75 has two speakers, a tweeter and a woofer. There are two wires to each that need to be diconnected (one + and -). There are probably four screws that hold the terminal cup to the speaker cabinet. This will need to be taken ... | |
| Will increasing size of amp improve sound quality? Jack,I do Klipsch and other speaker manufacturer crossover upgrades. Typically what I do is, I walk you through getting the crossovers out of the speakers and then you just mail them to me. We would talk about the level of upgrade (e.g. film and f... | |
| Will increasing size of amp improve sound quality? Jnorth,With the Klipsch speakers, the majority of the improvement comes from upgrading the caps, resistors and in some cases the iron core inductors. It's not a very difficult thing to do and it greatly improves any Klipsch speaker.Mike | |
| Will increasing size of amp improve sound quality? Upgrade the speaker crossover networks will completely improve your speakers. It is easily the best thing I ever did for my audio systems.I upgrade the Klipsch speaker crossover networks if you're interested.Mike | |
| Is the Eico HF 81 really that good? The hf-81 in Stereophile had not only a COMPLETE ground up restoration, but had circuit tweaks. It is the pinnacle of what this little int. tube amp can be. For the majority of us, replacement of caps, resistors, upgrading tubes and vibration/isol... | |
| Is the Eico HF 81 really that good? I recently bought an EICO hf-81 and had it rebuilt with new caps, resistors and other components that were either bad or out of tolerance. I have also updated the tubes with decent quality tubes. With that being said, my impressions are based on m... | |
| b&w crossover upgrade Tiny210,I do speaker crossover upgrades. What are you wanting to do? If you want crossover components upgraded, I can do that. I upgrade caps, resistors and inductors.Mike | |
| Do I upgrade my Cerwin Vegas S1's from the 70's Johnnyd,One thing you can do, prior to moving on to new speakers, is upgrade the speaker crossover. This makes a profound difference in the performance of a speakers across the entire frequency spectrum. If you want more information about it, drop... |
