The subject of this class was to introduce the changes coming in the next iterations of the La Scala and Klipschorn (presumably the AL6 and AK7 respectively). We got a tease of the changes at SubFest last fall, but during this class Roy finally revealed the details. Just remember that all of this information is preliminary and subject to change.
The first change is the replacement of the K-401 midrange horn...
Thanks for sharing the info and the pictures.

Test listening to the bass response of some speakers for sale that you MIGHT buy, with the amp you plan to use at home seems genuine to me.
As far as your room is concerned, no one else can really say how any pair of speakers will work out. I say that my Klipschorns sound better in my room than the La Scalas did in the same room. Other people on the forum might say something similar or express an opposite opinion. The fact is that every room has so many variables that any combination will have different results.

That's definitely the plan if ...
This is a perfect opportunity to answer all the nagging questions about your amp. (or the electricity source it is plugged into)

@ThomBoh , Take your Decware amp to audition the local AK-6.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying about tweeter axis. In the corners shown I can toe in/out to get whatever relationship between tweeter axis and preferred listening position I would want? Can you be more specific about what you mean?
Thanks for the advice!!
I also was thinking about the earlier K-horns, like mine. Yes, the AK-6 with the enclosed backs can be turned towards your desired position. But then they start to have a bigger footprint than the La Scala.

I would put Klipschorns on the long wall of your 12'x30' room, even if you need to add a free-standing corner at one end. That places your listening position on axis with the tweeters. The dimensions may seem counter-intuitive at first, but it often works good. Try it with your La Scalas before buying the K-horns.

Hello guys, is there any recommendation on which rack mounting ears I could buy for my KA-1000 amplifier? I've contacted Klipsch support, but they were absolutely useless.
Thanks,
Marcelo.
Your Klipsch KA-1000 amp is 17.5" wide. Most 19" rack openings are 17.7" wide. Rack ears will be difficult with those dimensions. Maybe a shelf like this could be adapted, Amazon.com: StarTech.com 2U Server Rack Shelf - Universal Vented Rack Mount Cantilever Tray for 19" Network Equipment Rack & Cabinet - Heavy Duty Steel - Weight Capacity 50lb/23kg - 16" Deep Shelf (CABSHELFV) : Everything Else
The shelf opening is too narrow for the amp, but the shelf can be mounted to the rack upside down and the amp set on top.

I agree. I've had two electricians over, and consulted with a third, all of them have said that everything looks great.,,
... Nonetheless, I will test the amp elsewhere whenever I get the chance, as I think I'll need this to satisfy my own curiosity.
Please do inform us, no matter how much time passes. It will be educational for all of us.

In all fairness to the reputation of the amp builder, I think it would be considerate to prove that your house wiring, and/or your electric power source is not contributing to the hum. I have witnessed some strange things with electrical circuits over the years and am really curious about the cause of your hum. In the 2 weeks since posting to the public on this forum, have you carried your amp to a friend's house during this time to compare? Sometimes the process of elimination is the only way to realize what is or is not causing a problem.

@Stevevaiamd2006 It would be best to follow through with your other thread in the Home Theater section, to avoid overlap or confusion here. I copied your question and answered over there.

@khornukopia ok thank you for the reply. So these R-40SA speakers can be used as surround speakers and height speakers? Is that right? I have another question. Where would you recommend I set my crossover on my AVR when using the R-40SA as side surround speakers? At 80hz? I am worried because I don't wouldn't want to damage them.
If your AVR has Audyssey or YPAO or MCACC or similar, it will automatically set the crossover frequency after measuring your set-up. If not, 80Hz would be fine.

@Travis In Austin , The "Klipsch Website & Forum Info" seems to attract a lot of new questions of a technical nature. Maybe due to Google algorithms? Can this sub-forum be renamed? Or whatever it takes to guide folks to the Klipsch Audio sub-forums. Thanks

The R-40SA can be used for your surround speakers.
Dolby Atmos specs are; Frequency Range: 40 Hz to 16 kHz, +3/–6 dB; Frequency Response: 80 Hz to 16 kHz, ±3 dB

Hello,
I am building a home theater in a spare room and I need a recommendation on a pair of speakers. My question is can I use the Klipsch R-40SA as left and right surround speakers? Or should I buy the Klipsch R-50M bookshelf speakers and use them as surround channels instead? I noticed the description says may be used for both purposes and even noticed in pictures being used as left and right side surround channels. Also, does anybody know the frequency response for the R-40SA? I cannot find it , always says confirms to Dolby specifications.

I like it so much that I bought a Pioneer SC-LX701 for my garage system.

I have used this Pioneer SC-LX901 with one of my systems for several months. It sounds good and the cabinet is very cool during operation.
I have been powering Klipsch speakers with this Pioneer AVR for over 5 years. Very satisfied with the sound.

@Travis In Austin Can you tell us the meaning behind the image on the T-shirt in the museum store, that appears to be a K-402 horn on the back of a pack animal?

i got this advice recently from a dealer. not perse class D but he did advise me to use the same amps. and maybe go for horizontal bi amping. so that the character of the amp covers the whole spectrum.
food for thought
On my bi-amp systems, I use the same amps for bass and treble, so the gain is always matched as the volume (voltage) goes up and down.

@Motoguy , Your Ebony Belles look really good. you might want to add your pictures to this thread,

pic of RCA cables demonstrates my original issue - a monoblock only has one input so which of the two RCA goes in the input?
I would make 2 single cables from that twin cable. Should easily peel apart, right down the middle.
