On virtually every online forum if you click on a username you’ll see when they were last on the forum. This will come in handy when you’re hoping for a response from a thread that was posted several years ago.
Check all the settings in your receiver to make sure something didn’t accidentally get adjusted that would turn off the sub.
Try a different cable to your sub.
Make sure the settings on the sub itself haven’t been messed with.
I agree with Dave.
The main area I’d focus on first is the wall behind the couch, especially since you sit right next to it. Anything that’s heavy fabric that you can live with will do.
If it looks too big at the store it’ll be perfect at your home.
I have a 65” and sit on a reclining couch 8 feet from the tv. My front 3 speakers are Klipsch Heresy.
For anyone who has never experienced a horn loaded sub before, it’s like nothing you can compare with a sealed or ported sub. Virtually no distortion, incredibly high sensitivity. Perfect for both music and movies.
I don’t know what the exchange rate is but anything in the Reference Premiere collection that fits your budget would work great.
By the way, my grandfather on my dad’s side was born in Yugoslavia but raised in Austria before coming to the US. 🙂
Rule of thumb is if both your subs are placed at the front of the room, set the phase on each to 0. If one is in front and one in back set the front to 0 and back to 180.
Agreed. I do this with every older pair of speakers I buy. If they’re not soldered, disconnect and reconnect the connectors on each driver also. It’ll remove years of oxidation and help give a better signal path through everything.
Are you sure the H isn’t a B? If they were BR then they’d be Birch Raw.
According to the vintage thread info, the only veneer Klipsch used that started with an H is hickory. I guess it’s possible that they’d be Hickory Raw but I’m betting they’re birch.
There’s threads stickied all over the forum that help decode info like that.
