Hi all. Would it be possible to use the woofer from a R-115SW in a Cornwall? The idea is to replace that woofer with the R-115SW woofer and then stack the Cornwall on top of a R-115SW. It'll show off the dual 15's and bringing the Cornwall up to ear level.

K 1084 S driver sensitivity
usmcsoldriver replied to usmcsoldriver's topic in Technical/Restorations
Electronic xover. Up to 30db. My thought was to keep the subs as transparrent as possible. Obviously ill be able to tweek a lot after its installed, i just want to make sure i have a driver than can do whatever is asked of it. Midbass is only running to about 300hz btw. -
K 1084 S driver sensitivity

Thank you. Only problem is i am trying to keep my subs playing 30-60hz, which would require my midbass to go down to 60hz :/ -
K 1084 S driver sensitivity
usmcsoldriver replied to usmcsoldriver's topic in Technical/Restorations
So id be looking at 91-93db, still pretty good. Better than the Dayton RS225 i was looking at is ~88db, Dynaudio MW182 ~ 89db. I know the klipsch woofers can handle power and i wont have to worry about compression -
I know the rb5 where the 1084 is found are 96db efficient, but what about the woofer itself? I ask because i am looking for high efficient woofers to install in my car doors.

How much do these replacement drivers usually go for?

So i'm listening to my RF7's and I notice this oddity coming from the left speaker. I keep replying the song where I hear it till I determain that it is defiatly coming from that speaker only. I take off the grill and gently push on each driver starting from the bottom. The first one goes in and out smoothly. The top one however, there is a very noticeable scratching inside whenever the cone moves. As I started to listen for it, i could hear its effects on my music. Any idea what caused this?

I read that part of the website a few times before reading it. I guess I didnt make the connection between the Amp being a High current Amp and the 75A Peak to Peak. Goes to show that I simply dont know as much as i wish or should.
-
1. I wish i understood what 75 Amps peak to peak means. I've been doing alot of reading, but that isnt making sense. Any help? 2. Will there be an issue if I always leave it on?

i failed to mention the speakers! Just to give the total picture. RF-7's. Running through a Yamaha RX-V665. I listend alittle more this morning, very pleased.

I just picked up a B&K 200.2 today. $475 cash. I havnt had much time to listen to it, but what little i have been able to. All I can say is, WoW. Everything has just opened up. Everything is clearer, more dynamic. To everyone that doesnt have an amp. A seperate Amp is a MUST!

What about AMC. The AMC 2100 In perticular. I am thinking about gett 1 then later on getting another and running them bridged. http://www.amchome.com/content/amc-2100-stereo-power-amplifiers-100w-x-2 they are about $250 new but I found one for less than 150$ on Ebay. If I buy them when I find them at under 200$, I could get 3. 1 for 2 channel - High Pass, 2 for Mono - Low Pass. That will give the Tweeter 100 watts and the Woofers 200 watts with a supposed 500 watt dynamic power Total cost 600$, or get something like that B&K that was linked earlier for ~ 500$ But first I have to tackle the big road block. I never thought to check the Receiver for Pre Outs. Wasnt thinking about getting sperates at the time and I got a descent deal on it. So yea, how can I hook up Seperate Amps when my Damn Receiver doesnt have Pre Outs?!?! I got a solution, anyone wanna buy a Sony STR-DH700 7.1 Receiver, 230$,Retails for 300$! (he says this knowing its not going to happen.)

ok. So even for dynamic music, dynamic power demands it is more than capable of providing the power needed? About how much power does the RF7's draw at peak at high levels? I ask because while watchng the Meters on the Mcintosh's while listening to the Palladiums, they were at a happy 5watts while listening to The Dave Mathews Band at descent levels. As soon as the drums and everything kicked in they started to spike at around 50 watts.

My only concern is 2 Channel play back for Music. The Receiver: Sony STR-DH700 7.1 Specs: Minum RM Output Power (8 ohms, 20-20k, thd .09%) : 95w + 95w Stereo Mode Output Power (8 ohms, 1 kHz, THD 10%) : 105w + 105w Surround Mode Output Power (8 ohms, 1 kHz, THD 10%) : 140 W/ch The Speakers: RF7's. Rated Sensitivity 102db @ 2.83 volts/1 meter *********************************** Whle putting together this info, i noticed that the RF7's sensitvity is rated at volts/meter while other speakers I have noted are rated at watt/meter . What is the difference? For Loud, but not pain inducing, listening, does this receiver provide enough power? Recently I auditioned some speakers, not sure the brand, using a Receiver, then a stand alone amplifier immediatly after. While they were small floor standing speakers, wth the stand alone amplifier they seemed to come alive. I would expect the same results at home, but the difference in effeciency rating from my understanding has to make a difference. While those were, I am fairly, ~88db thats a good 14db (if they were rated the same way) difference. I know that Klipsch typically need much less power tahn other speakers. Additionally, I was able to audition some Palladium's ran off some 2ch 250watt McIntosh's. Yum. Call me crazy, but I did not hear 8k$ difference between them and my 7's. Using http://community.klipsch.com/forums/storage/4/1385708/Amplifier%20Power%20and%20Klipsch%20Speaker%20DfH.pdf I figure that the 7's are going to need a tad more power than the Heresys, so a +~5watt difference would be accurate? If it is, and i am actually getting 95watts, I should be good. Please tell me where I am wrong if I am. I know that my ears are the final verdict. They seem to top heavy currently. I grew up with a pair of Heresys, so I am use to the klpsch "sound". There just isnt any punch in the mid/lows. Very unsatisfying. I am planning on adding some feet/spikes, hopefuly that clears some stuff up.
