Of course it is. Figure out if there’s existing wires connected to them. If not, hook them up.

Welcome back! A pre-amp isn’t going to give you anything you’re looking for. Looking at the specs of your receiver, make sure Eco mode is turned off. If you have tone controls turn them up and see if that helps.

Thanks Wuzzzer. Would you replace it with a different sub that could keep up? Or would you advocate with the others so far that depending on personal preference a sub of some kind may or may not be useful since the Jubilee's can get down to 18hz?
I would listen to them on their own first. Klipsch is making at least three different horn loaded subwoofers soon, if you decide that you would like to add a subwoofer or two that would be the way to go. -

I would ditch that SVS in a heartbeat. There’s no way it’s going to be able to keep up with the output of Jubilees.

I just purchased a RP-1200sw on Monday and the power indicator light only worked for a hour, now it does not come on but the subwoofer does have power also the gain has to be turned to 7 for any significant bass to be heard. Has anyone had this issue before?
How high does the gain go? What are you using for a receiver? -

Can I stack Klipsch Heresy IVs on top of Klipsch R12-SWs without damaging either speaker?
Yes, just put something in between them so they don’t scratch each other.I stacked Heresy IIs on SVS SB-2000s with excellent results.

I disagree. They are, what, 40 years old now?
This means the caps could be going bad. If they start sounding dull, then the crossover cans should be changed out.
IMO the 5.2's are the sweetest sounding of the Kg line.
Where did you learn math?

Make sure you zero in on something of “hers” that you find to be too big and make her downsize that as well. Weeding ring? Shoes/clothes? Etc

If it goes beyond my electrical abilities should I seek out a replacement plate amp or just move on and look for a new sub? U referenced some pretty inexpensive sub 12s in your previous post. …and thx for the quick response.
Personally I’d look for a new sub. Plate amps can be difficult to match to an existing sub.-

Thx Wuzzer. So…I’m not an electrical engineer but I am an engineer. If I pull the amp out, what damage should I b looking for? Burn spots? Safe to assume I could replace the caps and it would fix my issue (unless I see the whole thing is melted down lol).
Burnt caps/swollen caps/loose solder connections/etc. Hopefully if there are any caps in question you'll be able to read the values printed on them to get replacements.
-
Nope. Best thing to do is listen to them loud and often.

Common problem with sub amps when they’re failing. You’ll have to pull the amp and see if any capacitors look bad or other obvious things. The amp probably overheated if it was plugged in and left on for that long.
I’ve seen working Sub-12 models go for $50-75 on Facebook so even a replacement wouldn’t be that expensive.

Thought I would update this forum incase anyone has the same issue as a last resort I decided to try my brothers tv and it immediately worked full 4k@60hz with dolby atmos the said tv is EARC and I have found that to be the issue as mine is only arc seems I'm due for a tv upgrade as mine is pushing 7 years at this point anyways nonetheless thank you for your assistance
Yes, ARC is definitely not allowing the same bandwidth as eARC.-

Hey, the above was my thousandth post. Cool.
I just checked, I’m just over 10,000. I need to get a life.-

First thing I've always done with older Klipsch with networks like that is loosen then tighten every screw on the network board. This will remove years of oxidation and give a much better signal path to all the components. Try that first and see if anything changes.

I have the 820f's . I hooked them up to a Marantz 65w/@ 8ohms. They sound terrible. No only that, but the volume is very low with knob to max. Called Klipsch, I was told I needed a 150wPC amp to power them for the full performance. Using my weak amp resulted in blowing the tweeter. I think Klipsch should make that fact known to customers before purchase. They've been sitting there, unused for two years because amps over 125W are expensive and most do not have a phono preamp.;
Something in the setup or settings is very wrong if the speakers sound terrible and they sound very low with the volume turned all the way up. Most Klipsch are over 90dB sensitive with 1 watt of input so 65 watts would be ear piercing loud.

When I saw your name and the title.....I was thinking about a 5 channel Heresy sound system!😀
I actually did that last year…had my 5 Heresys on the stage, set to All Chanel Stereo in my receiver. Sounded great also! -
Well the KLFs certainly did the job well. Tons of bass and the midrange and treble sounded great also. Everyone said the music was great.

Hoping this is an ok place to ask this:
I have five Heresy III’s, two pairs of consecutive serial numbers and one oddball. The single speaker has a different serial number prefix than the other 4, and I’m wondering what it means. The two pairs have numbers beginning with “H3CHSRB”, while the single speaker is HIIICH+06010003”.
H3 and CH I understand, but what’s the meaning of “SRB” vs “+” ?
SRB stands for Slanted Riser Base and that it came that way from the factory. Does the single have a slanted riser? -
Guess it’s becoming an annual thing. A friend of ours works at the Holiday Inn in town and they have a building they call The Barn that they rent out for receptions and parties. I’ll be using my best friends KLF-30s. Laptop connected to my receiver for High-Res audio.
Set up in my main floor living room to give everything a test run.

Wanted to follow up on this, but with a twist. I'm DJ'ing a dance tonight, small get together with about 75 friends. I connected my laptop's HDMI output to my Sony receiver that can play High-Res audio files. Through HDMI the laptop synced up to my receiver and is able to play 24 bit/192kHz High-Res audio. I downloaded all the music I'm going to play through Amazon Music in the highest quality format available. I did a test run last night and everything is working great and sounds awesome.
BTW, I'll be using my best friend's KLF-30s for the dance. He bought them a little over 10 years ago for $500. They've seen a little wear on the cabinets but still sound awesome. I'm really looking forward to cranking up the volume at the dance.

Back...after a long hiatus...looking for some system understanding

Does your Denon have a phono input? Does your turntable have a phono pre-amp built in?
