Buy a bigger amp.

I would say T for 1979. Doesn't look like a normal serno for the speakers. Maybe people familiar with the Belles will give a further explanation.

Welcome to the Forums! The date is included in the serial number. Should be a letter.

Welcome to the Forums, Jasper, The main culprit of these amps is the heat build up. Not sure if there is a schematic floating around here. Obviously, it's something shorting directly to ground. The resolution I know of is a guy on the bay who fixes the amps and another guy who sells fans to moderate temp. When I worked at GE, we used an Infrared camera to see which part got hot when our usual procedures didn't work. I'm sure more people will chime in with some ideas.

The "USA" is the country where they were built.

I was going to buy this pair. But, I already have 3 pair of Heresy III Cornwall's. Still don't know what to do with my KG 3 Jubilee's.

I want a stereo pair. Mono sound went out years ago. Here's your bridge to nowhere:

Very nice pair with my favorite finish!

I would think the Forte II would go a little lower with the 15" passive. The other major difference is the midrange horns. The II's have the Tractrix. I would guess 600-800 for a minty pair.

Mongo171: That's pretty cool about Madrid.I didn't realize they actually filmed it on location. I checked out Google StreetView and sure enough, I think I found the actual diner where the "big biker rumble" scene took place! -Glenn Yep, Glenn, that's the diner in the movie. Never eaten there. I always go to the bar, called the Mine Shaft. http://www.themineshafttavern.com/

PM sent.

Isn't that John Bonham's mum?

It is a fun movie. Besides, where they film it in Madrid (that's MAD-drid), NM, I used to ride my Harley there in the summertime.

The lights from the tubes are mesmerizing. Look away or they will hypnotize you into buying them. [:S]

From what I was told by Klipsch many years ago, the shielded speakers have an extra magnet glued to the speaker magnet to eliminate the the magnetic field of the speaker.

Up until yesterday, I always had it plugged into the other port... oh well. I got the calibration to work, but it didn't sound good at all. it turned the volume level down on all the speakers (between -6db and -7db) as well as changing the floor speakers to 40hz and the center to 70hz. When I tried listening to music through it, it didn't sound good... cracked a bit. Changed it back to 80/80 and all is well. Certainly nothing wrong with experimenting with different settings. The trick is to get your system sounding good to you.

Yes, you want the sub plugged into the LFE/LEFT. This is your sub channel. Your sub is running too hot for room correction software. Turn it down until it can be calibrated by the software.

For tonal purposes, the KG 2.2 or KG 2.5 will match your KG 3.5's. Usually (not always), you would want to keep the front 3 speakers of the same series. There are always exceptions to the rules.

Happy Birthday, Rick! [^]

You can always get one of those T-Chip amps to power the speakers.

The F-20's and C-20 will have the 2 pair of binding posts connected with a jumper. Set your AVR to crossover at 80Hz. Set the subwoofer crossover to Off or to the max setting. Set the phase to 0 if on the same wall as the F-20's. These are just preliminary settings. You can play with them until your system sounds good to you.

I hear her sing every 7th inning during Yankee home games.

Polyfill make the box seem bigger to the speaker. Too much polyfill and the bass gets muddy. Have to experiment to get it right.

They have no grills because they are Decorator models. I would definitely get them.
