    The sub should take over at the XO.  I use my Pioneer SC 99 with a sub  and speakers set to small.   The sub works for music and movies.  The XO is set to 80.


    It won’t for the reasons I stated above.

    a yamaha receiver that is about 10 years old bought new when I got my speakers. 

    So if your sub is working with movies and not music, there’s a 99.9999999% sure chance that you either have your main speakers set to Large or Full Range.  If that isn’t the case, then you’re listening in Direct or Pure Direct mode.

     

    The reason why the sub doesn’t work in those modes when listening to music is you’re sending a 2 channel signal with no discrete LFE signal for the receiver to process.

    I have had nothing but issues with my klipsch sub and nothing seems to make sense. Now I bought a new Apple TV and it seems to only work when I am using the Apple TV to watch movies but will not turn on when I am using the applet tv to listen to music. It has never worked correctly in the 10 years I have had it and maybe worked a total of 2 years. Just doesn't make any sense. I did add the Y-conncector and it doesn't seem to have made a difference. 

     

    What are you using for a receiver?

    I have not used a horn loaded sub. I've never experienced one. This SB16-Ultra fell in my lap for less than half price new and it's been working/sounding great. Like I said, I needed to change how it was wired and configured because of going to a new preamp. I either need lessons in xconsole or someone to help with the dsp on the SVS.

     

    SVS' customer service is awesome.  You can call them up, explain your setup and they'll guide you exactly how to get the sub properly set up and how to use the DSP and any other functions it has.

    I wish it was closer to me, in Washington State or Oregon - a peak of 4-hour one-way drives to hit nearly anywhere in those states. I have three of these today in cherry, one new in box, and I've yet to find an additional speaker to get a second stereo pair going. I've been looking for years!

    Mine have been babied so much - my original RF-7's and three RB-75's are all still near mint, no scratches, decades later. Nothing is allowed near them ;)

     

    Ad says leaning toward local pickup so they might be open to shipping.  Never hurts to ask, especially since they have the original boxes!

    Honestly, I would not be too fast to  spend any money on this. Swap the tweeters and see if the problem moves with tweeter. If not, swap the caps. Does it move with the cap? This might seem like a lot of trouble. But the alternative is that you really don't know what had gone marginal. I have the exact same problem. And will be doing this when I have time.

     

    Oh, by the way, sometimes simply by playing the speakers (as long as the tweeters do not sound distorted like they are being damaged by excessive low frequency) the caps will fix themselves and stay fixed unless you leave then idle a long time. Did you go on vacation just before the problem started?

     

    None-the-less even though just a few hours of play fixed mine I am still going to replace the caps when I have time. I think it highly unlikely that the tweeters are bad. But if you think so, then swap them and find out.

     

    Much like batteries, some capacitors will go bad from lack of use. No, you will not find this is any book on electronics. But most electronics really do not like to be run at their limits or nor run at all. I have fixed several dozen receivers by simply cleaning the pots, contacts, fuses, and then simply putting Black Dog on repeat for a week!

     

    Good luck!

    Eh, and why exactly are you responding to a thread that’s old enough to legally drink??

    I am tempted to have a single horn styled subwoofer build to augment my Klipschorns.  In searching the internet I see several subs used in other configurations but none with Klipschorns.  I think it would be easy to integrate using a class D amp with DSP.  I would like to get down into the 20 Hz range.  Anyone who has tried? 

     

    As an aside I think this would be an ideal combination with LaScalas where you can place a sub in it's best location instead of in front of the room.


    I’m up in Alexandria.  I have a pair of Bill Fitzmaurice Tuba Home Theater subs that I’ve had for almost a year.  They are absolutely amazing for music and movies.  
     

    I’m no expert in subwoofer design but I believe the upcoming subs that Klipsch is going to be releasing are similar in design to mine so they’ll go with any Heritage speaker perfectly.

    I had been gone for a while and didn't know that he had left. Where did he go?


    I think he got booted from the forum.

    We had a week of cold/wet ... 50's and moist

     

     ... and I'm with the others, whining about when winter will end, already...

     

    It's been in the low 70's this week. Next week ... no. 55` - 60` and damp


    It was 12 below zero here today and YOU’RE wondering when winter will end??  😄
