    Question to whoever can answer: Why the diaphragm? What goes wrong with it that this is likely the culprit of the issue? TIA


    The K-77 can only take about 2 watts. If memory serves, the leads are 40 gauge. As the voice coil heats up, so do the leads. At some point - a lead will burn through.

    It's not what you're saying, it's where you're saying it. 


    So you understand this in one context, but not another.

     

    Imagine a high level meeting and someone says, “So why does the forum exist, looks like it just ends up making more speaker companies.” I was told this actually happened. 

     

    And of course all of the yapping and promotion of said companies.

    Why does the manual for the Heresy IV have a section called BI-AMP?  Page 5 here: https://d2um2qdswy1tb0.cloudfront.net/product-manuals/Heresy-2019_Manual_v01_2024-07-09-235905_egqp.pdf?v=1720569545


    Some people like to use two different amplifiers, for example, a tube amplifier for the HF section and a solid state amplifier for the woofer. You will need a separate preamp to do this. This is horizontal passive biamping. 
     

    You can also use two of the same type amplifier, and vertically biamp using a Y-cable from the preouts of the preamp.  
     

    If you have a HT receiver, some allow you to dedicate an unused channel for this - to deliver more power to the speaker.

     

    I prefer one good quality integrated amplifier over passive biamping.

    I made a statement on here when the gestapo showed up to ban us from talking about modding our Klipsch speakers.

     


    Been debating with myself all day whether to say something or not. Just not cool Dave. No company should have to sit and watch the bullshit that was going on here, on their company sponsored board. You have no idea how close we came to losing this place. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I’m the one that suggested to Roy to bring the hammer down and to change the direction of the modifications section. 2 years and people are still pissing and moaning about it. Get over it.

  5. It’s subjective. The Klipsch sound is a live sound, and you either like it or you don’t. Which begs the question- why did you buy them to begin with? I don’t think the Universal sounds better than stock either, but if you’re jacking around with different drivers, it’s the only turnkey solution for that.

    Is anyone aware of a reasonably-priced modern air core equivalent replacement for the multi-tap inductor used in the Type E network?


    No such thing.


    Ever seen a 21mH air core?

     

    If you push aside “reasonably priced”, you might be able to coax Dave Slagle of Impact Audio to custom wind it for you.
