John,
That IS Cool! Can I get a factory tour?

Tom Brennan might know more, but I'd recommend using the 311-90 to cut down on beaming the midrange. Tom recommends using E-V SM-120 horns with the K-55-V for good effect. the SM-120 has a 120 degree dispersion angle. I'm looking for a pair of Altec 802s or 806s to go on 511Bs to pair with my La Scala bass horns. Older K-horns used a K-500-5000 crossover. I'd say yours could reach 500 Hz as well and the 511B is easier to find than a 311.

Also check audiogon.com and ebay.

Bianping is done for 2 reasons. One to get more power and 2 to get rid of the passive crossover to improve sound quality.
You don't seem to fit either category. I'd use the 1205 for all channels.

It's not right to make fun of people's misfortune. However, being involved in the electric power industry and watching Enron (from a safe distance) grow and try to bully the industry, I usually fine jokes aimed at corporate Enron very amusing, especially cc1091's.
Had Enron not cooked their books and operated a ponzi scheme, they would still be in business and would probably rule the industry in 5 years. They have only themselves to blame.

My pilot had to bail and I can't make it!!
Who is willing to pick up a book for me? Help!!

RC-7s can indeed make fine main, center and surrounds. BobG once recommended I use KLF-C7s for surrounds. I found a pair of La Scalas cheaper, but looked into it. You could easily build a fine HT system with 5 RC-7s and an RSW-15.
The 2 1/2 way woofer system is to prevent cancellation at the highest frequencies the woofers produce.

Now you quit preachin' and done went to meddlin'! We don't like being reminded of the depravity of Gen. Sherman!

Q,
As best as I can remember, my -Ms look pristine. They perform properly and don't make any funny noises.

You need to at least use steel wool between coats to roughen it so the next coat will stick.
This will give you a deep glossy finish. It can be made to look like show car paint.

Q,
I don't want to swap tweeters; just squawkers.
John

BigD,
I am using ALK networks with the K-55-Ms. I find them a little too forward at 3-X (wonder what Brennan would think). If I use more attenuation, the tweeter sticks out like a sore thumb.
What would you want for your K-55-Vs? Do they have spring clip terminals?
I hope Klipsch went with the resurected Atlas driver in the latest return to production.

There's no doubt the GAS amp is not helping. I'm with Tom on the P-trap. It's easy to insert and remove, too.
What about your room? Is it reflective? After I put Dynamat on my K-400s, I found them better integrated into the system and not forward. My room is not bright, though.
A good SET shouldn't dramatically change the character of the sound. It sounds like that's what you want. However, if you lower the output of the squawker much, the tweeter will stand out too much.
After the P-trap, try bypassing the inductor for your woofer. The inductor reduces the power to the woofer a little (a dB?) and rolls it off at the squawker roll-in. A little more woofer output may acheive the balance you want.

You can probably get Birchwood Casey at Walmart.

If the Sony has Preamp outs you could run from pre out the tape/aux in on a tube preamp and then to the Macs for front channel power. the Macs would always be used even in HT mode.

Hey Doug,
What's the difference between being labeled "no life" and not having one and not having one, but covering it up?
John

I'm going to try changing the tubes. Anybody know a good place to get Svetlana tubes?
John
-
Is the system for atereo or home theater? I'd pretty much say go for the Macs! You're getting them for a great price. They deserve a great preamp to go with them, on the order of a Mac or maybe Conrad-Johnson, or another great tube preamp.

There is absolutely no such thing as time-corrected speaker wire! There is no way, in our universe, that wire can correct time, or in some way correct for a time delay. It's B.S. Somebody is pulling your leg.

Ignore the power absorption rating of the speaker! It is not a very useful parameter and should NEVER be used in determining which speakers to buy.
Buy the speakers that match your other speakers and turn down the volume at the first sign of distortion. You will be hard pressed to stay in a room with 100 watts pumping through any Klipsch speakers.

There have been some factory tours over the years. I know of 2. It took a lot of persuasion to arrange the last one and quite a bit of insider assistance, too. Don't show up and expect to get one. There's a lot of activity and potentially dangerous machines in there. Klipsch can't afford to have an injured visitor or a distracted operator.

Q,
I rather keep my K-77-Ms for their hotter last octave. All 4 of my La Scalas came with K-77-Ms.

Hi Q,
We all have our preferences!
I have one spring clip -V and I can't hear any difference between it and the solder terminal version, though.

I've got a 1000A running my rear channels. They run in Class A up to 1.65 watts and Class AB above that. I have a 1203A running the front 3 channels. It's a very similar amp, but rated at 140 x 3. They sound great and are very clean. You should like it.
