I want Advice on Best Klipsch Speakers for Home Theater Setup
derrickdj1 replied to halcyoncv's topic in General Klipsch Info
The Choice depends on room size, looks, HT setup (#speakers, amplification and other things). -
That Pioneer Elite amp is very good and should drive your speaker to insane levels. What would an amp bring to the fire? The Corwalls are a bit over 100 db sensitivity. Using 100 db sensitivity, mean 1 watt at 1m you get 100 dbs. To make it sound twice as loud, you need 10x the power or 10 watts to get to 110db. Wow, that loud with just 10 watts. Most of our listening is in the 1 watt region with Heritage speakers and that is why so many of us use tube amps to power their speakers. I have used a power amps with multiple Pioneer Elite avr's and can't say the amp added anything other than I liked doing it. I have also use tube amps with the Elite avr's and enjoy them over SS amps if you are looking for a slightly different sound. Don't get hung up on amp watts, speaker sensitivity is a key factor in deciding your power needs. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Maynard !

What exactly is a compactron amp compared to a regular SET amp? Is it the tubes, size, transformer, etc.?
-
A good place to start is getting the right size speaker for the right size room. Then, consider amplification, solid state, digital, tubes or computer. What type of music you like and how loud you listen can also be a factor.

The forgotten RB 75 made for a commanding pair of bookshelf speakers.
-
Do you have a 2 ch or HT system or in the market to get a system? Join any thread you like, it is all informative. Welcome to the forum.

After further study, the unmatched tubes test strong. These tubes should work since each tube has it's own bias adjustment. This does not work with my fixed bias tube amp.

It is only going to get worse. People can't fight and win against mother nature. Relocation may become a necessity.

I think I found the first two Cornwall II's ever made...

SPL-120 Thgumping every 2 seconds even with no audio signal
derrickdj1 replied to teo701's topic in Subwoofers
Cutting subwoofers on and off seems to lead to malfunctioning. Subwoofers can be left on all the time. I never turn off my small Klipsch sub that I purchased in 2008. -
You have a nice size space. Toy with the speakers, some reflections are not bad off the wall for imaging. Tubes will pair well with the Cornwalls.

Was the amp updated with new capacitors and thoroughly checked out? The amp should be more than enough power.

RP-280F replacement speaker/repair

Call Klipsch support. What happen? -
I wish I had room for them, GLWS.
-
The klf-30's are some great sounding speakers. A sub or two should fill that low end.
-
I like Yamaha but, that amp does not have a lot of connectivity.
-
The benefit of letting the subs do the work is for bass management. I had RF 7's and set the XO at 80 Hz. A subwoofer is constructed to have less distortion than a woofer. A higher XO can help with dynamics and midrange clarity. Using the lowest XO may make people feel good about their tower speakers but, that is not the point. If you can't tame the boominess, additional PEQ may be needed.

The are below budget. The NR 1200 eARC, 6 HDMI, Streaming, HEOS and sounds nice. I have the NR 1200. The NR1510 will do an HT also. You can add a 2nd room or external amp to these units. Leaving room for a tube amp in the future? https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/marnr1200/marantz-nr1200-2-x-75-watts-a/v-stereo-receiver-w/hdmi/1.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw6JS3BhBAEiwAO9waFzvavDLC https://www.crutchfield.com/S-2yTD6mmscFh/p_642NR1510/Marantz-NR1510.html?XVINQ=GZ0&XVVer=17J1&awcr=628548529561&awdv=c&awnw=g&awug=9016182&awkw=pla-757947406075&awmt=&awat=pla&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw6JS3BhBAEiwAO9waF22d0BGH7DmAbAseXE63oerA1MtGNbHM67wmXdKSlk92KMbVVZfOIBoC0X8QAvD_BwE

Tactile transducers – Bass shakers in their home theatres...
derrickdj1 replied to formica's topic in Home Theater
Time aligning the transducer is a good thing to do. Unless you are using multiple subs, the phase is not much of a problem. Enjoy! -
A tube amp is a nice choice since the the sound can be tweaked a bit with tube rolling. A nice tube amp adds to the listening environment.
