Hi Richard, Sent u PM

Someone in Altamonte has both RB-61 and RB-51 on craigslist: http://orlando.craigslist.org/ele/2741518956.html Another option might be the RB-5 listed in Vero Beach: http://treasure.craigslist.org/ele/2745777781.html Not affiliated, yada, yada, yada . . . .

Hi K.N., I sent you a PM with my contact info. I may have some additional things that will help in your quest . . . Bill

Hi ousig, Welcome to the Forum! I will submit that a large part of the difference in your audio experience may be speaker placement in the room and/or room acoustics and shape, more than the difference in your amp power or crossover or horns. I have used various Crown and QSC amps as well as Denon receivers in a variety of venues. The Denon receivers are actually pretty good. You have 100 watts per channel available from your Denon vs 250 from your old QSC. The difference will only be a few db in total loudness. The crossover "may" offer a slight improvement in hf response, but that, too, may not solve your concern. The 20s are very good speakers. Try placing the speakers on a different wall or different placement in the room just to see how the sound changes. If your current room is more acoustically dead than your previous room, that will make a difference, too. I would do some experimenting before whippin' out the old check book.

+1 on the X10

I use the Promedia 2.1 plugged directly into the computer. Pandora, iPhone, iPad, or computer are source options. The little sub woofer is a very nice addition.

Thanks, Eldon. Basked in the glow of 201 4mm Cobalt-60 beams last week. Hope it kills it . . . . Back to the regularly scheduled center channel question . . . . . .

Hi Ozarktroutfisher, Welcome to the Forum!! Another good option for your center channel is a KLF C7. I sent you an email . . . .

Hi Kid, I don't know what your L&R mains are, but I have a couple extra K-52 squawker drivers that Klipsch used in many places such as Heresy II, Cornwall II, Forte and Chorus, KLF 20 and 30 plus a few more in their pro line. You can have one or both for $25 each, plus shipping. If you are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we may be able to get it down there with no shipping. My brother lives in Denton.

Anyone have experience with both KLF C-7 and RB-5? For 2-channel, music only, on book shelves on either side of a fireplace, with a subwoofer, which would be better, 2 KLF C-7 or 2 RB-5 on their sides? Thanks!!

Hi Cory, The following link is a great resource for wire info. According to the table in the fourth section down, the max length for 18 awg is 32' for 8 ohms. Years ago, we wired entire audio listening rooms with 18awg wire. Each run was about 25'. Paul Klipsch and, then, factory rep, John Fricks, were visiting when we were wiring the new studio and helped us solder connectors on all the speaker runs. http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#wiretable

The Eminence PSD2002 is the Klipsch K-65 driver used in the KP-262, KP-302, KP-3002, KSM-15-II. It is a good sounding driver that has served us quite well. We have used nine pair of KP-3002's (K-65 tweeter with a K-48 woofer) for pro use as well as home theater. They sound quite good. We have never blown a driver.

Hi John, Welcome to the Forum!! Are you sure that 3 Ki-362's are flown together in a tight cluster? They may have flown two Ki-362's with a Ki-215 in the middle, which was, I believe, Roy's intent. The Ki-215 is the same cabinet as the 362, but uses 2 15" K-45 woofers as a bass cabinet instead of the full range of the 362. A casual observation from the ground may lead one to conclude the speakers are the same. While the cabinets are identical, the components are not. When mounted in a tight cluster, the 362's couple in such a way as to yield 180 degree coverage. I was surprised when I flew this cluster at a church camp. It really works quite well with uniform coverage. If two (or more) 362's are flown together, with the back of the cabinets touching, the front of the cabinets should be spread 8.56" apart to provide good coverage and avoid comb filtering and cancellation. I sent you a PM with my cell number if you want to discuss further.

Hi davbis419b, The KPT-904 is listed in the cinema brochure with a crossover at 800Hz. See page 9 in attached pdf. I sent you a PM. CinemaBrochure.pdf

Here is the KP-115. . . . KP-115.pdf

They look like a KG .5. Notice the wall plugs behind the speakers. They look to be about 12 inches tall.

Congratulations, Amy! A much-deserved promotion. We, too, appreciate all your hard work on our behalf.

Hi dandoyen, I sent you a PM.

I am running XTi's in several high-SPL subwoofer configurations with absolutely now problems. One room is a 1500 seat auditorium driving KP-682's with XTi 4000. Live band with mic on the kick bass. The place rocks and the XTi's just keep pumping it out. Another is a 400 seat auditorium driving KP-684's with XTi 2000. Live band plus movies. No problems pumping out chest-thumping, deep bass. Another is my 18' x 26' home theater driving a KPT-884 with a XTi 1000. Waaay too much bass, but boy is a clean and deep. I wouldn't trust that review driving a resistor as much as I trust my real life experience and my ears. Try the XTi. I think you'll be surprised . . . . .

Hi kenu, The original posting in this thread is over 7 years old.

Hi Brandon, From the Klipsch site: THX®-Approved the KPT-200 is a 12-inch two-way cinema surround loudspeaker system that delivers extended bass response controlled coverage and standard SMPTE/ISO 2696 X-curve de-emphasis The KPT-200 and KPT-100 are both THX approved for surround. The hi freq response is rolled off per THX specs.

Beautiful!! But where are the Klipsch rock speakers???

In the Forte I, the mid-range driver is out of phase with the woofer and tweeter. The woofer and tweeter are both "in phase" with each other. The crossover schematic is attached. Forte I Crossover schematic.pdf

1978 Heresy, walnut with riser. Either oil or lacquer, can't tell from pic.

Hi Brad, I guess I'm not surprised at your disappointment with the "home-brew" set up. I took my Klipsch Jubilees to a venue that was 65' wide x 110' long with 25' ceilings and had no problem in filling the room. With one pair of Jubilees with K-402 horns and a pair of KP-682 subs and a live band, the house was cookin'. We had about 175 people in the room. OK, now here I am a bit surprised. I'm concerned that you will continue to spend money chasing the true Jubilee and will continue to fall short. From your description of drop-outs, shallow crossover slopes, mis-matched hf horns, etc., I'm guessing that you are not yet close to the real Jubilee. There is really only one solution to your quest. Call 1-800-KLIPSCH, ask for Roy Delgado, and order a set of Klipschorn Jubilees. While mixing and matching different parts may be entertaining for some folks, the end result will not perform like the Jubilee. Someone once said that the sting of poor quality is remembered far longer than the thrill of a low price.
