Buy a pair of LaScalas and sell one of them.

I have Crites A-4500Hz crossovers in them with Crites CT-125 tweeters.
And that’s why you’re having midrange and treble fatigue.-

Order a crossover rebuild kit from JEM Performance Audio. It’ll bring everything back to spec. I would highly suggest doing that before you get rid of them.

Post pics, your location and asking price if you want interest in them. 👍

I am trying to identify the model and year of some older Klipsch speakers:
Klipsch CH 2 wal oil #19
S/N: 295397349
Are these Chorus 2’s or other?
Year they were manufactured?
thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated
They’re Chorus 2. Other info can be decoded here: -
I use metal stands for mine. Not sure there is an advantage or disadvantage with wood or metal.
Most any 12” or larger subwoofer will fill in the low end nicely.

I've been dipping my French Fries in my chocolate shake for decades... people used to look funny at me, now I see it being done in commercials.
A Wendy’s Frosty or McDonald’s shamrock shake are the absolute best for fry dipping. -

I use AW-650 speakers as Atmos. I went from a 7.2 to a 5.2.2 setup and it was a big difference in a good way. Atmos adds a ton to the surround experience if it’s done properly.

Looking for a single heresy to use as a center channel between a black pair of Heresy 3s. Another Heresy 3 keeps the sound matching and black again would be optimal. Might be willing to buy a pair as well. Seattle area. Also have tons of quality gear if a trade is an option for ya
It’s worth the effort. I ended up buying a pair and selling the leftover one. Perfectly seamless soundstage across all five of my Heresys.-

Where exactly is it? I have Heresy's and they are stamped at the top lip. I have just bought Chorus I and I cant find anything. I do have one label that was off the speaker.
Chorus only have the paper label, nothing stamped into the cabinet.-

It’s a private group so you’ll need to be a member to see the listing.

Leave the Heresys as-is. A subwoofer is the way to go.

It will be a night and day upgrade. No comparison whatsoever.
-
I think they’re rear ported so it might slightly affect their bass output.
-
If it says service next to it it’s only used for firmware updates.
-
Any of the tube amps, although I’d verify they’re working correctly before hooking them up to the speakers unless you know they’re in proper working condition.

Sounds good to me. Went ahead and ordered the part.
Edit: Question to whoever can answer: Why the diaphragm? What goes wrong with it that this is likely the culprit of the issue? TIA
Probably overdriven. Tweeters can’t handle as much power as other drivers.-

Yes! I did find out how to open the top hat box fairly easily, thankfully. Another member here had messaged me this morning with instructions on how to diagnose if it is in fact the tweeter that is the fault to my issue.
I checked the contact wiring to the tweeter, hoping for a loose or unplugged wire. One of the wires contacting onto the tweeter was seemingly loose, as it clicked when I was attempting to push it in further. However, still muffled when I tested again.
To further troubleshoot, I unplugged the tweeter wiring from the other speaker, to confirm that the sound between the two speakers matched after having both tweeters not putting out sound. Confirmed - both sound the same with the horns and the woofers coming through.
I then swapped the tweeters between the two top hat boxes, and the issue followed me over to the other top hat box.
Issue confirmed I suppose. The member who contacted me had given me a link, suggesting I purchase the OEM diaphragm #127126 for $57 at https://reconingspeakers.com/products-page/klipsch-k77f-127126-diaphragm/
Waiting to hear back from them to make sure my troubleshooting still points to the diaphragm that they think it is.
Not much else it could be. You did all the correct troubleshooting.-

In terms of Atmos performance, in ceiling above you are best, then height speakers mounted high on the wall, then “toppers” mounted to bounce sound off the ceiling.
You should really lower your TV.
-
If you’re going the Atmos route you don’t want wide dispersion surrounds so you’ll want to get bookshelf speakers like the 500M.

a lot of folks seem to LOVE crown...
I use a Crown amp for my subwoofers. I think they’re better for applications like that. -
Of course it is.
