  1. It's not worth getting stressed over,  this is in fact a new day, and thought the branding of the current speakers being elevated to a place of prominence. It is very unlikely that there will be a retraction.  

    when you consider that the khorn,Lasalle ,Cornwall, heresy, possibly belle,all have something in common.

    whatever came after does not, and should not really be classified as heratage. All of klipsch speakers  are heratage inspired. For those who have the original has bragging rights. These new speakers will find it's niche with a different generation of listeners. They will come to the forum and be encouraged to try the path that brought them to where they are. 

    from what I can see the company is doing what pwk did.make a dam good speaker get it sold, most of us here won't sell what we have to purchase a the current price,to keep klipsch in buiness . 

     

     

  2.   This is a topic that comes up from time to time, I suppose considering the logic, yes, 

    Now the path we take to get there can be quite different. I would consider the journey that gives the traveler the satisfactory, experience pointing out all unexpected nuances,that makes the expereance of the journey memorable , I imagine you would find it difficult to get an unbiased opinion due to the personal and positive journey, the opposite is also true. 

    What can you live with, also means you'll live without some things, we can be thankful for choices. 

    Just the way I see it

  3. As always many thanks for your sharing, I'm trying to draw from the different views offered. I must say I was a little surprised to find the different speaker was used with the heresy as a center,

    The fact that a center is not dependent on speaker matching, but more so on mid,and high

    Frequency matching.

    I am aware of the need to have the LCR to match in a front array for home theater application,

    there is a lot to enjoy with listening in mono,basically I'm doing so with the phantom center, thou,with an additional openness. Clarity is certainly one of the more enjoyable side benifit from this arrangement, making it unnecessary to listen at high volume. Amplification mid & hi

    Frequency seems to be direction for me to explore,

  4. Thanks for the responses from all,the common thread being the stability of the off axis and it's affect on the sound, the merging of left /right image seems to produce and blend not present in either channel.

    I have not looked at the data provided as yet, my concern with a hard center,will the Suttle semblance be enhanced.

  5. Hi all,

    Looking to those who have use three speakers in front array, not as part of a surround, more as a derived center.what your perceptions ,have you continue with this setup. If not was there any particular reason for moving from that direction, if that or those deficiency were eliminated would you re-evaluate.

    My reason for information,i am and have been listening to phantom center and wondered Wether there would be any real improvements to be gained, using physical center.

    Thanks for sharing,

  6. Have you tried one speaker, check volume with left channel, then right, is there any difference, then proceed to the other speaker repeat previous test, this should reveal any issues. Is there no likely hood that issue could be loose connection.? Or adjustment toe in, toe out. Distance to listening position,!!

  7. Sorry to hear about your amp,

    And as always we become attached to our gear especially if we've had them for a while,

    My system is very similar to yours except quartets,acurus 125x5 and outlaw950.

    It's probably going to cost close to your 300,I'd definitely look at replacing the amp,probably get something 30 day trial? Outlaw Has a amp 500+. Only thing about shipping is cost,the amp isn't working anyway nothing to fear there.

    Receiver allows you to regain a portion of your outlay,and move you a few steps forward as far as features are concern.

    Do what's best for you, equipment,and financial wise.

  8. Seems to me that the substance of what this new network has to offer has been lost in the technology of graphs and how they ought to be the detrming factor, factors by which they are to be evaluated. To a certain extent the new vendor has to establish his credentials, and thus will be challanged.

    Has any klipsch horn owner been able to understand and have the necessary parts to build and honestly evaluate it's performance biased on usage in their own system, if it doesn't infringe anylaws.

    The time that has been spent thus far! far out weights the time it would take to build. And no

    Definitive conclusion has been reached. It's great to have options,and that is all that's being offered here.this forum is great that they extend this opportunity for those who are interested in audio sound reproduction,without worrying about how it might affect their bottom line.

  9. Dang appreciate your last post, separating the fluff.the flawed design by pk which most here are seems to like. Kudos for your real world approach, remembering if it tests good and it's performance is good this is only to expected.

    The anomaly attracts attention, perhaps a set sent on a trip will determine it's capabilities.

  10. Life in the old days,

    As we reminisce on things of the past, those who still have heritage speakers and are trying to get the most out of their stock components with new and improved parts, only to run foul of the blue line.

    Will new and better capacitor provide the ends we seek, will it overcome our expectations! Or will our perception continue to draw us down the alley. Don't get me wrong I too am like many other, but this turn of events has made me pause to think, do I want to continue on this path to madness.

    I need a k77 round back with ancio magnet, then I can pull the chain, and wave, goodbye to this madness.

  11. yes , as stated I'm very hap.py ,I believe the only thing that might itch is amplification , but wont be scratching, every thing sound so right, sat 6' feet from spkr and they just pull you in.

    probably sent him in the direction of the ref line, for those who are looking for improvement to their stock cornwall 1 its definitely worth doing.

  12. Hi all, I didn't want to start a new topic , just thought I'd add a few lines of conformation that yes better parts does make a difference, I had the pleasure and good

    fortune of speaking with DeanG about some issues I had been having, with the HI from my Cornwall 1. V-Caps were the only upgrade the compolants

    were stock except for the LF which I had to replace with new from klipsch, personally they sound better to me. Anyway the Mids were dominating most of the

    audible range and stifling the Hi's . During my babblings with dean I must have said something that made sense to him , and he started to explain the different

    functions of the HI and LOW pass 1st order and all the stuff you'll know, then he said you have something to write with, well I quickly got pencil and paper wrote

    down what he said and as I was going through the old post say his about super b network.

    My reason for this post is with the simple addition of a inductor in line with Mid, the separation and presence of the Mid horn and tweeter has defined

    spaces between them. After making the changes to one network I reinstalled it and was a little surprise ,it seems as if it wasn't playing, I must admit I didn't know

    what to expect , I made the change to the other one and power back up , and yea . the Mids had recessed and the HI are elevated. I'm a happy camper years ago

    I had a Warfdale single cone 12'' spkr this has surpassed it,

  13. popular belief leans towards this is not such a good idea, i tried using a voltage tester to see what kind of voltage is present at spkr terminal ,this did not yield any

    result.might need meter with smaller measurement.

    can anyone tell what voltage i might expect to see at input terminal of spkr. looking for some means to activate rely, and separate networks,

    thank's for your response .

  14. Ok i'm thinking of placing two different pairs of networks in a Cornwall using the same hi-mid -low, going back to separate Input

    terminal . will there be any issues with network (1) or (2) being affected by each other . (ie) backfeed to, and, or through the other network .

    Could it present a problem for spr's and source . (amp/receiver) after implementation don't want to open Spkr's .

  15. :( I am surprised that a few bumps in the road has derailed this deal . I suppose the fact that i paid that much for a pair of cw 1 plus shipping, and have not consider the cost too much,with new woofer and some dIY changes to network ,no regret, i do wonder sometimes if i'm crazy. But we make the decision that best suite us. Hope you will get some closer to you.
