  1. I am 28 and I know I have some hearing loss. I work with a lot of older gentlemen in their fifties in a research field with all sorts of experiments going on. Some of them involve sound. For fun we decided to see at what frequency the noise was noticeable for the people in the room. It of course drove the co-ops nuts because they could hear at very high frequencies. I couldn't hear as high as the co-ops, but I was amazed at how much hearing loss had happened to the guys older than me. So basically, I am scared that buy the time I have enough money to buy the Klipsch Home Theater set up that I really want, I won't be able to fully enjoy it. Is this a realistic concern or am I worrying myself over nothing?

    you'll still be able to hear most of the frequency range, just not up to 18k or 20k. i'd offer that efficient speakers would be ones to consider as you get older, ones that could give you 105db at one watt/one meter. if anyone has any suggestions as to who would make such a speaker, please let us know..

  2. i'd experiment for that reasonable price.

    i think double the power gives you 3db increase in volume, it takes 10 times the power to double the volume.

    that said, is volume what you want to purchase? there is more to consider, more to gain.

  3. <I have refoamed them and when I play them, they rattle.....I need advice on how to stop the vibrating.

    Most likely depositing them in the trash bin will solve your problem. If you can still hear them rattle, try moving your trash can down to the curb.


    People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, Mr Def Tech home theatre listener. Wink I'm thinking those 901s would sound better than speakers in your present system. Maybe you should take your own advice.

    yeah, you've got a point. trying to be funny. but it just sounds mean. my apologies.

  4. I thought about asking for a listening session but felt awkward doing so. I don't know why.

    Hey Wuzzer, you know how we like showing off our gear? I bet he is the same way. Try dropping a "I sure would love to hear those Khorns" next time you talk to him. I bet he'd love to show off his gear!


    Thanks for sharing the story, it isn't often I talk to anyone who knows Klipsch.

  6. Both the KG4's and this forum.

    I actually go to bed and can't wait to get up in the moring to listen to my KG4's.

    Of course I'm a newcomer to Klipsch.I knew the name but just never got it.Well now in addition to the KG4's there is a set of Heresy 1's coming my way.

    The information I read on this board is great.But!!! what is everyone talking about with the arithmetic of sound and I guess acoustics when they talk of how far the speakers are away and the height and angle and such? I kind of realize that sound is a wave and objects get in the way of that wave but I'd like to read about some of this background info.Reflections and traps, the sweet spot etc.

    I looked inside my KG4's and the crossover looks brand new to me! My heart was racing! I can hear the singer breathing! I can hear his fingers on the guitar strings! These are cd's being played on a Sansui 9090 and the volume does not go above 9 o'clock.

    I read online about Paul Klipsch.A very cool dude,I think.

    dude!
