6000f and bi amp-ing (horn/woofer wattage?)
Khornukopia replied to daemonix's topic in General Klipsch Info
Yes, but while playing music, the tweeter channel amp is not affected by the reactance of the woofer's EMF. Also, auto calibration (Audyssey, MCACC, YPAO, etc.) can fine tune each channel more precisely. All 5 speakers in my surround sound system are BI-AMPED. Because of your statement, I just had to go and switch the HF and LF wires from my Pioneer Elite SC-LX901 to my passive bi-amped speakers. Seems that both HF and LF outputs are full range with the split passive crossover doing the filtering. I want to try my Onkyo in the garage later when I have more time. -

The AVR sends out full band signals of equal power from each respective amp channel during passive BI-AMP operation. The split passive crossover in the speaker is the filter to each section of the loudspeaker. -

I also read that same spec sheet, but almost all Klipsch home audio speakers with dual binding posts have a separate HF and LF crossover section that is externally bridged with the removable jumper straps. -

I read that also, but can't imagine that the entire split passive crossover function is defeated by removing the external jumper wires. -

The power rating for the RP-6000F are 125 watts continuous and 500 watts peak, according to the Klipsch specs sheet. I think it is a good idea to bi-amp that Denon and Klipsch combination, carefully following Denon's amplifier assignment instructions. -

A linear power amp should have a flat response into a fixed resistance. It is the variable impedance of the speaker that allows more current, or less current to flow out of the amp at different frequencies, affecting the acoustic frequency response we hear from the amp/speaker combination. -
Long term satisfaction is worth reading about.

I don't even know if the amplifier challenge is authentic, so I am discussing it from a hypothetical perspective. The way I understand the rules, the amps are not modified, but one might have its output signal equalized to eliminate tonal differences that would enable you to pick it out during a double blind test. -
I have to think about that very carefully. I went back and snapped a shot of this speaker, the largest Klipsch at their exhibit.

I read it. I guess it is helpful if it saves money on an amplifier purchase, for people who just want straight amplification, not other individually desirable features. -
This is a little awkward, but it looks like I have more pictures of me and a girl than pictures of the Klipsch exhibit. I have made up a couple of good excuses for this. 1. She is very pretty. 2. There were no Heritage speakers on display. Here is a photo I took of a TV image, just to brighten up this dull posting.

It was at CES 2019. The demonstration is for the Sony music recording and playback system called 360 Reality Audio. -

The right equipment for the job. -
They used several different fuse ratings over the years. Does not seem to be critical with the Heritage speakers, since most were designed without fuses. For the record, I do agree with @EpicKlipschFan on the subject of fuses in general, that it is probably a good idea to use the correct rated fuse.

Yesterday I listened to an audio demonstration where a pair of miniature microphones suspended on tiny wire supports are placed at the opening of each person's ear canals, to monitor the frequency response of the music reaching the ears. Using this feedback, the engineers would adjust the signal for the best sound. I want the home version if and when it becomes available. Beginners will use easier ways of finding their desired sound than some of us amp jugglers, myself including, have in the past. -

I have a 5.2 system with all five speakers bi-amped. I wanted to keep it simple. -

I just thought I would review my initial recommendation, so I don't cause any serious damage. Have a nice day!

Bi-Amped K-Horn + K-402 horns w/ KPT-415 woofers
Khornukopia replied to Khornukopia's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Deang, Thanks for the information. -
@Emile, I think I have a better offer. I will pay shipping and then send you a picture of a bonfire.

Yes it is probably a good idea to use the correct rated fuse. I added my caveat "considering that most speakers don't even have a fuse" because many years ago, former forum member (?) EpicCF4Fan argued with me for using the wrong TYPE of correctly rated fuse on my Klipschorns, that for all practical purposes will never blow a fuse. Please tell us what you are doing about the MILLIONS of loudspeakers that DO NOT have any fuses.

New HT system - can I mix Heritage and Reference?
Khornukopia replied to durask's topic in Home Theater
I listened to the STR-ZA5000 ES Receiver in the Sony Home Theater demo room at CES today. I think it will do really good with the Klipsch speakers you want. -
@EpicKlipschFan, what you say is true, but original replacements may be hard to find. We should worry about the millions of speakers that don't have any protection.

My speaker wire is made of hundreds of thin strands of copper wire. The fuse has an element equal to about one thin strand. Bass bin fuses sometimes fail from vibrations.
