You can always disconnect me woofer from the other speaker so they would sound the same. Before sending out one speaker maybe confirm only one has a problem. If I had 2 bad woofers I would look for 2 other drivers to match and put one in each unit. But that is just my style. Cheap.

When my surround went to heck years ago it was faster and cheaper to buy off ebay.

Here is a shot showing the bottoms with the 1" risers. Those 87's are not very appealing in the looks dept. Thanks!

Looks like a match to me.

Ok, here my Signatures. The previous owner spray painted the front of grills prior to my purchase 20 yrs ago. On a side note, these do not sound good in my carpeted basement room but sound nice upstairs in a larger room.

My 86 H2 Signatures has the badges in front but the standard label on rear. I have had them open before but don't recall seeing a pride label.

That is normal due to the low output level from the cartridge. I get varying levels when I change from LP to CD to DVD to streaming.

Hard to believe that you have speakers over a year old and barely 100 hours listening time. I am grateful that I can listen to music about 100 hours per month in my abode. Good luck.

You say it sounds fine until turned up halfway. Sounds like the amp is clipping and distorting the sound due to limited power. Every receiver I have ever had started to clip about halfway and that means turn it down, NP - ANVIL - Metal on Metal streamed via ProMedia 2:1

If the speakers are already “amazing” I don’t see any reason to muck it up at this point in time.

I am late to the party, but i have 5.2's that had a 1" crack in the surround that i repaired with Weldwood contact cement and tissue paper. Repair has lasted 5 years. I think the 5.2 is a worthy Klipsch speaker at the right used price.

All of my Klipsch speakers sound shrill using a home theater receiver in 2 channel. However, if you can get it to sound decent enough using the tone controls, I would not get too concerned over that issue at this time. Also, unless you are an audiophile, don't bother with bi-amping. You may not notice any difference except for in the pocketbook. Hook the speakers up the same way you did as your old ones - you do not need separate controls for the horns and woofers, the speakers will take care of that for you automatically.

I have a pair of CF 4 that I believe is version 3, and what I like about them is they sound "cleaner, or more detailed than my 89 Forte 2, and my Heresy 2, and the Kg 5.2. I have other brands I also rotate in occasionally, but they seem dull in comparison. I was lucky to get a good deal on the 4's 5 years ago, and the only downside for me is the size and heft.
