    RP-140SA Crossover Setting

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    Ian,

    I would have replied much sooner had I seen this post. The 150Hz suggestion in the manual was a conservative number for those volume junkies. I personally use 80Hz on mine, but do not take my settings as "recommended by Klipsch". The speaker was designed with Atmos first and foremost the target, but the speaker is pretty versatile. 

    When a speaker is set to "Dolby Enabled" in the AVR, it does NOT set a high pass filter, or engage some hidden filter for those channels. Atmos channels are all full range, it is up to the end user to set bass management properly.

    RP-140SA As Surrounds???

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    You don't really want to install a wide dispersion speaker near corners. It can really wreck the width they create with additional cancellation. The 140sa will do just fine with 280, and 450, that is what I run. If you can afford, and want something larger, by all means get that.

    Great Fan and Great upgrades and new products, though I wonder whether it was needed to change te look in the RF7 MKIII.







     







    I.M.H.O The "Wood veneer" in front of RF7-MKII is far more stylish then some Artificial Plastic on RF7-MKIII .


    Next to this, the bottom changes " from nice copper pads" to a "Plastic support" makes the RF7 III loose elegance and more bulky, ... 



    These two look changes makes MKIII-look "Cheap", and far not as nice as it's predecessor MKII. As i find it important a speaker fits in the interior, and the changes in looks now makes it more difficult to blend



    the fact you change some tech specs is normal, but do not fix something (Look) which has no need for improvement, ...

    The baffle is painted just like the original RF7, not plastic on the mkiii. The plinth on the bottom is also painted wood, not plastic.

    OK, since no one else has, I'll bring up The Sixes.

     

    I'm excited for these and think they'll make a great tabletop/desk setup. I actually preordered a pair for my computer setup. From the pictures, they look great and different from most speakers you see if this size/type.

     

    @Jainbaby I had a few questions if you're able to answer them.

    1.  Is the horn the same as used on the RP-160M? Looks to be a different phase plug, but utilizing the horn and titanium diaphragm.

    2.  Is the woofer the same as used in the R-26F, but not copper?

    3.  How long will the cable be to connect the two speakers?

    1. very, very close to identical on the horn, tweeter/pp are different

    2.  no, completely different

    3.  long enough for 99%

    Is the Indy HQ cafeteria still open to the public?







     







    Back in 2009 a few people from the Pyramids and Kiwanis would eat there.







     







    Chef JJ would email you the menu every morning.







     







    Plus live music on Wednesdays.







     







    My office is 2100 feet from my desk to the HQ as the eagle flys.







     







    Would not mind stopping by again if it still an option.





    Negative, closed several years ago. The space is now a showroom.

    Add the RP-140SA to RP280-F

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted




    Hi Guys,








    just received my brand new RP280-F. They will piloted by a 2 ways Tube Amp so the system is just 2 channels. I'm wondering if there's an image improvement adding the RP-140SA connected in bridge with main speaker. Did someone test it? The system is used to listen music, nothing more.








    Thanks





    You would want to use them properly with an Atmos AVR assigning them to the height front channels. Then you can use the Dolby Surround upmixer to create additional ambience with your 2 channel sources. I do not recommend ganging 2 speakers in parallel as the increase in current draw may negatively affect your amplifier.

    As you have already stated the room will dominate, especially at low frequency. If an individual had one room to dedicate to designing a subwoofer, then that is the room it will work in the best. You can't equalize a subwoofer for one room, and expect the same results from other rooms. Not only is there the frequency response isssues, you must pay attention to how it actually sounds. That will change depending on each room as well. We use multiple rooms to listen in and a non biased party to measure against (ground plane). I could not fathom only listening and designing for one room, there are too many things to go wrong.

    Ground plane chart is useless if you plan to use it indoors.

    Your room will dictate your frequency response.

    Okay, there is a lot wrong with that first statement. No disagreement with the second.

    Seems fishy to me, is there 40db of EQ boost?

    If you actually read the link provided you would not have to make assumptions.
    I was just being a little snarky, I will read it all someday. In the meantime someone bring one to indy for some calibrated measurements.

    Measurements have already been done, every room will measure different as there are too many variables to take into consideration.

    Which is exactly why one would use a ground plane to get a true response without room gain.

    I'm not doubting a horn sub will sound good, or doubt that it gets loud. My point is, unless it is the size of 2 couches, it wont have large amounts of output below 30Hz, it just isn't possible. At that point it is just a sealed box.

    I don't think you can find a better sub than the R-115SW for the same price. Lots of good DIY solutions out there too. A horn sub that fits in a regular house, I call BS if you want anything of authority under 35Hz.
