Such amazing speakers and then to tightly integrate them into a large wall unit without angling them even a bit, and then placing a big desk right in front of the speakers? Such speakers deserve better.
I can't see exactly, but it looks like a bar countertop, where people might stand around drinking and listening and socializing. Whatever the layout, the Jubilees are probably more fun than any other speakers in there before.

For a short time, I would like to use the existing in-wall speaker cables to connect the preamp to the monoblocks.
Using unshielded speaker wire from the pre-amp to the amps might cause some unwanted noise. Best to use the proper type of interconnect cables.

I bought a pair of Belles back in early 80s. Ebony finish. Was told special order that went south! I have not ever seen or heard about that finish on Belle speakers. The tag on the back says BK MEL. Serial #s are 8512929 and 30. Not sure what the “MEL” stands for. They were and still are a very slick looking set of speakers. Thanks for any info..
We would enjoy viewing pictures of your Belles. (downsize your picture files for easier attachment to the forum)

Any thoughts on using this method?
One look at the plastic tubs as speaker stands and I'm not interested in watching the video.

I sometimes visit larger than average homes with loudspeakers in (almost) every room, wired to a central music player. Walking from room to room lets you observe how furnishings and room shapes have a big influence on the sound. Acoustic treatment is definitely worthwhile for people who want the best sound from their loudspeakers.

@ThomBoh sorry if I missed it...are you shorting the inputs when trying this hum test with just the amp and speakers? There is a SCIENTIFIC way to troubleshoot these types of problems. If with only the speakers connected to the amp and the inputs to the amp shorted and there is hum there is something wrong(or inherit) in the amp. Given another amp running off the same power outlet is fine.
I agree with you also but, it seems strange that 3 different amps have the same problem.

Can I perhaps make a very strange suggestion? Since it has been suggested a few times now that it might be your home's power grid causing the issue, if your neighbors live right next to you (such as in an apartment or townhouse), could you use an extension cord to borrow power from them to see if the hum disappears?
1 minute ago, Shakeydeal said:That's a good suggestion. Also, you could take it to a friend's system. Even if they don't have high sens. speakers, if the amp has a hum, it'll still be present, just much lower in volume.
I agree, and yes, taking it to a house in a different neighborhood would be a more effective test. Almost any speaker should work for this purpose.

I have bought some Cornwall 4s and I'm on a Yamaha R-N1000a amp 100x2 at 8ohms. I tried a cheap Fosi with a DAC and a 3050 NAD. Out of those 3 the Fosi had the best bass but it wasn't that clean. The Yamaha has some and the NAD had none.
@MT1086 hasn't been back since, but for anyone else with a similar condition, I say double-check your speaker wire polarity.

Good question, and yes
have also tried multiple different outlets in the room
Everything you have stated seems to indicate an amplifier problem, but 3 different units with the same hum makes me continue to wonder about the house wiring or the power from the street transformer. It is only fair to Decware that you become certain that your house is not the problem.
While we all think about the possibilities, can you post some picture of your amps? (This forum has picture file size limits, so it is best to downsize the pic file.)

Maybe I missed it, but you have tried other amps in your system that do not hum? At all?
35 minutes ago, ThomBoh said:Yes! I dont think I mentioned it. I have a Primaluna EVO 400 integrated and Naim uniti atom. No hum. It's only the Decware amps that are humming.
Have you swapped back to one of those other amps since this problem started, plugged into the same wall outlet?

Also, fwiw, I've never had hum problems with my non-decware amps (Primaluna and naim), but the decware amps are definitely more naturally prone to hum by design.
Well, that is helpful information.

I had an electrician check it out today, and he said everything is good.
Because all 3 amplifiers exhibit the same hum, I would still suspect something like a bad light dimmer somewhere in the building.

@HenningO if you have another tweeter to connect, that would be a really good test. Can you show some pictures of your tweeter next to a tape measure or ruler, after you remove it from the housing.

Will study to see which way is easier to execute 😁
Learning what works best is a good thing. I saw where you enclosed the backs of your K-Horns. Removing the top should be very easy for you.

Just to acknowledge my awareness that the Klipsch forum does not permit open discussions about modifications to Klipsch speakers, the procedure to remove the top panel would be applicable to anyone who needs to easily repair their original K-77 tweeter in a K-horn.

I see that I can access to 2 bottom screws of the tweeter, but the top 2 screws seem to be blocked by the top brace cross bar.
Remove the screws at the top of the 2 vertical rear supports. Next remove the screws (2 on each side) that attach the side panels to the underside of the top panel. Lift off the entire top panel and you will have a wide open space. Do NOT mix up the 6 screws, as 2 of them may be longer than the other 4 screws.

Room built with studs on 8" centers. Layer of 3/4" birch plywood Green Glue and 5/8" drywall. It does not rattle. Designed around the Khorns
Very impressive. Can you tell us about the space behind the wall and subs.

At this point, I would remove the silent tweeter and connect it to the good La Scala for a listening test.

I am not near Texas. If I was, would probably own even more Klipsch speakers! So, are you still enjoying your subwoofer?
