[Anyone using the new Klipsch RP subs with forte IV, or any series forte?]

On 11/8/2023 at 2:08 PM, John Chi-town said:

Thinking of adding (2) RP-10 subwoofers to my 2-channel setup with forte IV as the mains.  Would I be better off with a single RP-12 sub?  Would a single RP-10 be enough? Looking for recommendations from anyone who has experience with the new RP sub line.  I listen at low to moderate volume levels.  80% music, 20% video/movies.  I do not need to break the 20HZ barrier.  Just looking for that extra lower octave or so.    TIA.

I would think a single RP -1200 -SW would be a good fit   , but so would the R-120SW 249$

2 year update after starting this thread: my Bar48 is still working great! Got tempted by a heavily discounted Cinema 1200 the other day, but I think I’m a bit too emotionally invested into this Bar48 to replace it. 😄

now , we know that new power supplies can last at least 2 years

 Would the lower response be due to different drivers and/or DSP or both? 

 it's also a more powerful  / powered sub with 2x12 inch drivers  ,  a recent photo showed the LX  sub with a BGW VX 880  lurking at the back .Power Output  900 W/ch @ 8Ω, 1500 W/ch @ 4Ω

Hi! I’m looking to build a home theater set up. I want the 504c II center channel, 600m II bookshelves, two rp 8060 Dolby atmos for towers and an rp 1000 or 1200 sub. My issues is that I have no idea where to start for a receiver. Any recommendations? I want something that will get the best out of the speakers

how much do you want to spend ,  new or used ...

John , the sub you're showing is not the Large sub for the Lascala /khorn , 

the Large sub has 3 braces per side , and it's wider and almost as high as  a khorn

OO1  - thanks for the reply, very informative. Do you by any chance recognize the two items pictured at the top of the post? I'm pretty sure one is a tweeter.  

  @OldCrowthe tweeters in the 1st and 2nd  pictures are aftermarket CT12O  , the  klipsch  original K-77F  tweeters may have been removed or the wires are simply disconnected , to determine if the diaphragms are defective  , you'll need an Ohmmeter   . 

 

the 3rd and 4th pictures are klipsch tweeters for a  different   klipsch speaker model

Is there a kit out there that I can buy to replace which should be replaced on these heresy speakers that I bought originally in 1981? 

1981 was a very special year for the Heresy , open the rear panels , let's see what you have as mids drivers , K-55V ,single or dual phase plug midrange

 . So I'm relatively confident it's the speakers.

the original tweeters for  the Lascala II are  the K-77 F ,  klipsch Part  # 127126  ,replacing  defective diaphragms does  not require soldering   ,

[Addressing high-end “grain” in my vintage Klipschorns]

@dopeihope2 possibilities here .

 

 -the AK-2 were  plagued with corrosion of the old monster style wiring  ,  the corrosion occurs  between the clear plastic jacket and the copper wire    ,  discard the old wire  end to end  , remove all traces of the old solder   . 

 

 -a dirty voice coil gap or a worn out VC  can also cause a grainy sound  , remove the 4 screws , slowly , gently separate the magnet assembly , clean the VC gap  , retest .

 1984  Heresy speakers are not Heresy II , they are Heresy 1   or more accurately  Heresy 1.5  ,1984 was the last year for the H1 series ,

these 84 Heresy speakers  are very particular .as they shared some drivers and horns with  the Heresy 2  ,
