That looks like a fantastic set.
You have a PM.

Stevie ray Vaughan, the sky is crying. My dad played this album often and now i sit back with a bit of Jameson and can listen to it for hours on repeat and reminisce.
For my dad it was Willie Nelson's "Stardust". I play it now and then with a bottle of good red wine.This! [<

Like others are saying, update/upgrade the crossovers and you may not need/want to change anything else.
Keep us posted,

I wish you Peace!
“May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,”

Are they in corners? If not, you just may not be hearing the woofers. It's important to "seal" them into corners, so it forms a horn.
Do a search on "pipe insulation" and you'll find many threads on sealing the khorns to the wall.
BTW, congrations on the Khorns. Not everyone gets to start out at the top of the line. [<)]

Ahh, what a gift! Congratulations! [<

what do you guys think? http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/ele/3976635499.html
I think you should be on the phone! [
]Remember, the Crossover may need updating, so figure that into the price.

The V15 is no longer being produced. The current top-of-the-line Shure cartridge is the M97xE, and it's quite good. It's a big step up from the M91E, and it's not expensive, listing for $89 and sometimes available for less.
Replacement styli for the M97xE are readily available, and cost $50 or less.
Islander is right, the M97xE is a great cartridge and the price is right. [Y]
B&H Photo has it for $69 and Amazon has it for $70, if you are an Amazon Prime member, you get free shipping too. [<

Hey Dave, if the Heresy 1's are original, they would greatly benefit from replacing/refreshing the crossovers. You are not getting the intended sound with old capacitors. I would do that before I bought a sub. You may find out you don't need a sub right now, once you get the speakers back up to spec.
Dennie -
Unless you are playing back lossless (no compression) music files I can understand why they would be bright. The PC's drive is not what I would call a quality playback source by any means. Your sound is only as good as your weakest link. I think your weak link is using your PC as your source. Changing to a receiver won't make a difference you need a better source than a PC for quality audio playback.
I completely agree with this. ^^^^^
Also, the BIGGEST factor is the ROOM! Have you done any "treatments" or used Rugs/towels on the floor/walls?
You can have the best speakers in the world and if they are in a untreated room, they will usually sound bad.

Do you use any kind of room treatments? What is on the walls? Floors? How far back are you sitting and are you sitting against the back wall? Are the speakers toe'd in or facing straight towards the back wall? Are the speakers in corners? This will reinforce the bass a little.
The room is usually the problem and you will want some treatments for absorption, diffusion, reflections, etc. For now, throw some rugs or towels in front of the speakers and hang some rugs or something on the walls to tame reflections. Overstuffed furniture can help absorb some of the sound bouncing around around the room.
Welcome to the Klipsch forums and Congratulations on the New RF-7II's.... [<

Hey Tswei, which integrated amp are you using? Can you turn the "trim" down on the LS's? I'm using a HT/AVR and can turn down each speaker indivually, so I have the sub at +10 and the LS's at -10 and uning the sub's volume control ( SVS 20-39 PC Plus ) I can get it dialed in.
Let us know the gear you're using and we'll try to help.

Those are Beautiful Russ, Congratulations! [<

Hey Mike, Beeker said the "520" needs a second amp, not the "525".

A beautiful thing, fer sure!

I get very little enjoyment out of looking at a record!
They are meant to be played, so play on Marty!
BTW, nice score!

If you don't move the speakers, try loosly stuffing some socks in the ports and see what happens.
I tried that trick in high school but I still couldn't get the girls.
Clean socks! [:S]

Read and re-read the owners manual. It's a lot to take in, but it's well worth the effort and each time you read it, it makes more sense.

There is a big difference between a corner scratch and a corner drop. Differing people, differing observations.The Cornwall IIIs were redesigned for better bass than the Is and IIs, and Klipsch got it right.
I have seen plenty of speaker corner drops where performance was degraded, without ruptures. Magnets shift, demagnitize, start losing their flux, driver mounting screws get loose, corner seams get loose, glue seams pull and expand, cleat panel screws back out a thread or two. There is a lot that may be going on, depending on whether your "cosmetic damage" occured while in a shipping box, bare standing in place, or just having a tip over into a wall.
There are only a few people who know the story of how these corners got in their current condition. I note it as an res ipsa loquitur situation.
Sorry Dave, you did have information on these speakers that I did not see yet.
You make a very solid point.

Ah ha! Now, everything is becoming much clearer!
I see what Dave is saying in the "other" thread.
Good luck with your sale and thanks for showing your true self! [+o(]

Well, excuse me, Dave - your statement didn't say "they might have been dropped," or "they appear to have been dropped," or even "in my opinion they've been dropped." Instead you said (and I quote): "At least one, if not both, cabinets were dropped on the rear corners from over five feet, that resulted in significant joinery splits that compromised their performance - period" I asked specifically if you had knowledge of this - it appears you don't.
Unless you're a physicist who knows the exact compression force required to compress Klipsch's plywood by a specific amount versus the force developed by acceleration during fall, then your "over five feet" theory is a complete, unsupported, and very silly guess. I'm supposing that your "I have seen plenty of speaker corner drops..." statement is similarly unsupported?
In fact, Dave, everything (repeat everything) that you've said is complete speculation on your part without a shred of evidence. That and a buck will buy you a cup of McCoffee.
The question I'd like for you to answer is just WHY you feel obligated to disparage my speakers, which you haven't seen, haven't heard, and know absolutely NOTHING about? Had you taken the trouble in the first place to say that you were speculating, I'd have taken no offense, but you didn't. You made a flat out, categorical statement that my speakers had been dropped over five feet and had suffered damages because of that. "Res ipsa loquitur" (the thing speaks for itself) applies to your statements Dave. Absolutely shameful.
Yeah, that is kind of weird. I too thought Dave knew something about these particular speakers, that we were missing the whole time.
Strange!

Hey Jfg02,
300wpc should be plenty. Klipsch speakers are very efficient and should sound great, with plenty of headroom. [
