    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??  😄

  4. Passive radiators are like a port.  Do you hear sound coming from a speaker port?  Well, kind of, but they’re not an active driver so you’re essentially hearing “echoes” or sounds from other active drivers transferring through them.

     

    If you’re saying that when you’re playing music and you stick your head next to the passive radiator and don’t hear anything, that’s normal.  If you put your hand gently on the passive and can feel it vibrating slightly while music is being played, then it’s doing its job and working correctly.

  5. Horn subs are something else.  I’m so used to the effortless bass with virtually zero distortion of mine that any direct radiating design doesn’t come close to matching.

    I first did it with Audyssey. As a result, I discovered that I barely got any sound from the sub.

    therefore a factory reset. after this manual setup was done. the test tone made the sub come to life, but after that it was nothing again. so the sub just works. What happens if I plug the plug into subwoofer output 2 and it indicates that I have 2 subwoofers while this is not the case?


    I don’t know about the two subwoofer thing but Audyssey generally sets the bass output lower than most people like.  If you lower the dB level to each speaker to -5dB on your receiver but leave the subwoofer dB the same, then what happens?

    Front +2 dB

    Center +1,5 dB

    Rear + 2dB

    Subwoofer 0,0 dB.

    If i raise the dB for the sub it don't make af difference


    Are those results from you setting them or did you run your receiver’s auto setup?  Is anything turned on such as a power saving mode or late night mode?

    Folks,

     

    recently bought klipsch sevens 

    i connected HDMI Arc but when switching apps between YouTube and Netflix audio going mute.

    have to reset by toggle button on top between audio inputs. Anyone faced similar issue, what could be the solution 


    I’d try your TV’s optical output if it has one.  HDMI ARC is really buggy, no fault of Klipsch.

    I think I'm just gonna diy a center with k75k tweeter and k53k mid and forte crossover.

    Seems like the are alot of klipsch parts on ebay. 

    What would be a decent 6" woofer?


    Why go through all that work when you could just get a Heresy and use that?

  10. 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!
