  1. I installed Crites CT125 tweeters and ALK universals. I have listened to them for the past couple weeks and have to admit I'm a little disappointed. The speakers sound a little flat and bland . They have lost their live presence, which first attracted me to these speakers. Perhaps the frequency response is flatter but I can't say I enjoy the sound as much as when they were stock. I recently changed the tap setting on the autotransformer but still feel they are lacking. The only change which has been favourable was changing my push/pull tube amp to a triode tube amp. I do wonder if member's recomendations were more relevant to SS equipment? I was going to purchase Fastracs but now with the results I've seen to this point I doubt I will. Does anyone have any thoughts?
  2. I'm sure someone would be interested if you answered your email. Thanks
  3. I would like to thank everyone for their advise. I very much appreciate the Klipsch education I am receiving. Thank you Dale
  4. Greg I think it is very big of you to recommend Al's products, considering the difference of opinion that you and he have shared in the forums. With your and other member's recommendations, I think I will purchase a crossover from Al but I do have a couple questions: why the universal as opposed to Al's other crossovers? I also intend to go with Bob Crites tweeters, which as I understand, will function well below 6000hz. Will the universal crossover allow me to have a lower crossover point for the tweeter? I very much appreciate everyone's help. Thank you Dale
  5. I would be interested in them too if Mr Hudson does not take them. Thanks
  6. I am new to this forum and to Klipsch. Since purchasing my La Scalas I have become a very passionate Klipsch fan. My other speakers are Martin Logans which I thought I could never better, that was until I heard Klipsch. Anyway, like a true audiophile, I want to upgrade my La Scalas. I have spent countless hours going through the forums and taking in words of wisdom from Bob Crites and Al K and DeanG and others and I still don't know which way to go. Something emphasized is how I my precieve my music and my listening preferances, the room they are in, as well as what I hope to achieve. That criteria is: I listen to everything from classical to rock at low to medium levels. I use a 50wpc tube amp. The room is approximately 24'Lx11'Wx7'H and is carpeted. I don't care about the >50hz absence but I do wish the highs were more distinct and airy, as Bob has said, the cymbols don't sound right. I also detect strain in the 5000hz - 6000hz range which I would like to overcome. I do not wish to change the woofer or mid-range as I like the Klipsch sound.I have LSIs which date from 1989 and have the AL crossover. The speakers have never been modified. I would very much appreciate any guidance you might give me. It is great to be part of a community where people are so passionate about an interest. Thank you Dale
