Haha I see. I was expecting people to tell me to upgrade my receiver or get an amp. Guess not! How much difference does a receiver or amp make anyways?

So I now have the following: KG 5.5's with Crites titanium domes on the K-85-K tweeters Yamaha RX-V459 HTPC with passthrough S/PDIF source (Radiient Europa as surround and Infinity Primus C25 as center, yea mismatch but I'm not too worried about these for now) Sounds pretty good to me, but I don't feel satisfied. What would you guys do next?

Ok thanks guys I will give it a shot when I get off work =).

anyone?

Thanks =)

Thanks! =) Also. How do I remove the crossover?

that finish is just...ewww. Who would do such a thing to heresy's?!

If anyone possibly has a KG 5.5 Crossover please let me know. I am looking to redo the crossover with better caps. Thanks!

Ah ok that makes sense, but where should the be? On the two sides? On the back? In a V shape? or just random as they are?

I've noticed there's these two pieces of foam floating around in each of my KG 5.5's doing what looks like, absolutely nothing. They're not attached to the wall or anything, just floating around randomly. Do these actually serve any purpose at all?

Thanks for the advice. Also I measured the tweeter with an ohmeter. Sure enough it reads around 4.6. The good one reads around 8.6. I also took it apart and it doesn't seem to be damaged at all. BEC, I sent you an email a little while ago. Thanks! David

Sounds good. So how much are they from Klipsch or from you?

nope it was just really tight. Pliers did the trick. So I did the swap and now the problem is in the other speaker. Instead of Clapton's voice coming from the left, it's now coming from the right. I guess it's safe to say that the horn is the problem. So what's the next step?

Um ok, this might seem dumb, but I can't pull the spade plugs off either of them. I could use pliers to loosen them but I don't want to screw up the shape of the plug. What would be a good way to do this...

I'll give the swap a try. By the way I found this thread while digging around and it seems to be the exact same problem I have: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/23748/196008.aspx#196008 I'll report back in a few min after I swap the horns. Thanks!

Okay I just tried your suggestion. The tweeter is playing sound but it does seem quieter than the other speaker's tweeter. I've also swapped channels on my receiver to rule out the possibility of a weak channel. Do blown tweeters still play? Thanks for the welcome =). This i my first pair of real speakers from klipsch =).

So I got a pair of KG 5.5's over the weekend. They checked out fine at the place so I got them from the guy. However I must have been half brain-dead because I forgot to compare the left and right seperately. (still feeling pretty dumb) I got them home and one of them seems quieter than the other. The all the ranges seem to be quieter but the mid to highs seem to be more lacking than the lows. But probably because lows are less directional anyway. So my questions are: 1) Anyways, any guesses on what the problem might be? 2) And how do I actually open the cabinets? Thanks!

Thanks for the advice guys. When you say loose cabinet does that mean the back panel is loose? Also, aside from loose cabinets, is there anything other problems I should watch out for when inspecting them?

I have been offered a set of KG 5.5 speakers for $300. The 5.5s are rather old and I'm wondering if $300 is fair for these. Thanks for advice!!
