I sent this in a message to Iteachstem and thought it would be fun to see if anyone else on here enjoys being an internet sleuth - AKA I'm trying to find XYZ, or I can't figure out what this item is that I have, etc. Here's my best one:
Around 20 years ago, my boss where I worked was looking for a children's book. The book was written by his wife's sister who had passed away. They were hoping to find one more copy of the book so that all of her children could have a copy. I ended up finding two of them, one hard cover and one soft cover. I didn't tell him that I had found it, I just put it on his desk at work. He came out of his office holding the book and his eyes looked like he had seen a ghost. "Where did you find this???" I told him that I had found it on a used book store's website and that I actually had another copy coming as well.
It was right before Christmas so he wrapped it up and gave it to her and the family had another one to keep as well. It was pretty awesome. The family was floored that I found not one but two copies of the book!

Yes, think best buy... Think bookshelves.:
Well, there’s those, plus there’s RP-500, and there’s R-50PM but there’s no RP50.-

What are you using for an amp/receiver for your other speakers? Does it have bass management?
-
Please confirm which speakers you have as there’s no such thing as an rp50.

It’s been -25 to -40 wind chill the past few days here in Minnesota.

Most powered sub amps like the SVS one you have will be specifically made for that sub and probably wouldn’t be the best to use for what you want to use it for.
I’d just look for a cheap pro amp.

First time I've seen this thread. That list of those gone is sad to think about. I had no idea Roger passed. Anyone want to share the brief details of that? Seems it wasn't so long ago he and I were discussing that huge KP600 system that he has.
I would add CigarBum to the list. Bob Greene from North Georgia who passed about two years ago. Retired Railroad man that I visited often. He had a cabin full of Klipsch.

It’s spelled Klipsch, but anyway…
If your iMac has a headphone output try using that. Get a 3.5mm to RCA adapter.

Lol. Someone else just posted about this earlier today.

Long time since you posted BJT, but did you ever find a solution? My Klipsch R-115SW is doing it now. Purchased 12/30 of 18
Here's a hint as to why you won't receive a response: Click on BJT's username to see when they were last on the forum.

Somebody posted about it here, fairly recently I think. I know the guy who owned it passed away.

Good call. That was a pretty weird post.

I currently have forte 2 for mains and a svs prime center. I was thinking about picking up a klipsch academy center. I had one before but it had a bad woofer so i got rid of it quickly.
I found a functioning acadamy with the same mods as my forte 2.(crites tweeter and cap upgrade).
Timber match is not super critical to me except when listening to 5.1 music concerts and the svs sounds ok for movies but not good at all for music. Is it worth the $400 to upgrade back to the academy?
How does the dialog sound compared to the svs?
I bought the svs thinking it would be a decent match because it's a 3 way and it has a wide dispersion. Dispersion is not a critical factor for me since me and my wife sit about 10 feet directly in front of the front lcr.
I did not have my last academy long enough to listen critically since the buzz drove me nuts.
Thanks in advance.
Couple items of note:
It's spelled timbre and pronounced like tamber (rhymes with camber).
I had an Academy with Heresy mains and hated it. Once I added another Heresy as a center, then everything was perfect. I'd never spend $400 on an Academy when you could buy a pair of forte I or Heresy and sell one of them.

Actually for an Atmos setup it’s recommended to have direct radiating speakers like your RB-75s for surrounds and not wide dispersion speakers like the RS-62. So, for current models you’ll want the RP-600M.
I know the 5800-C is the most popular in-ceiling speaker that people use for Atmos.

If the gaskets on the midrange drivers are original, they could also be contributing to what you’re hearing if they’re dried out. Might as well replace them while you’re at it.

Sure, in fact there’s a dedicated section to tube amps farther down the page. 😉

If it’s only in one speaker, swap the L/R wires and see if the problem switches speakers.
The very first thing I do with any vintage Klipsch I buy is loosen and tighten all the input and output screws in the crossover. That will remove decades of oxidation and give a much better signal path to everything. Even more so to speakers like the LaScala and Klipschorn that have their crossovers exposed like they are.
If the problem is still there, it could be the old oil can capacitors. Contact JEM Performance Audio or forum member DeanG for new capacitors to bring your crossovers back to spec.

At the moment it is RF7II and the RC7 center, and the R112SW. It has been fine for some time. As an aside, I can't imagine why people have two subwoofers, just this one shakes the room.
But, there is an opportunity and I could get an additional two RP-600m ii speakers. Then I'd have the 5.1 system. I've been trying to research, and on a rare occasion the RP-600m (or RP-600m ii) has been mentioned as rear speakers. One suggestion was from 001, with 73.3k posts (at that time) so I'm thinking they know what they're talking about.
So I'm hoping an expert or two might help out.
Two subwoofers will even out the frequency response within your room so that your peaks and nulls aren’t so large. It’s not always about playing louder.Any of the larger RP bookshelf speakers will work great as surrounds. Just remember that in a 5.1 setup the surrounds are called just that, surrounds, and they should be placed to the sides of your main listening position, slightly behind you, aimed at you. A 7.1 setup adds rear surrounds behind you.

Hello , it was me. I am restoring the crossover/ connections and have plans to build more tasteful boxes for traditional heresy use . I will probably be selling the unloaded cabs , and maybe any original capacitors that test in spec if I end up doing a recap. I did not purchase these speakers to flip them, they are for personal use.
hope that eases your mind
Awesome. -

My Dad recently passed away as well, very sorry for your loss.
That being said, if my Dad left me anything like that the last thing I’d be doing is having even the slightest thought of selling them.
