  1. They sell "kits" with a measured amount for the size voice-coil: https://www.simplyspeakers.com/ferro-fluid-speaker-repair-kit-mi-ff100.html
  2. Google "baffle step compensation" there is science behind it. One would have to think that the engineers at Klipsch would have accounted for this in the crossover design but no doubt expanding the width of the baffle can dramatically alter the sound.
  3. I'm selling a like new pair of Beyma 15" woofers these things are beasts 4" voice-coils high power handling with usable frequency response from 30hz-4khz. I had these in my Chorus II cabinets and they are very articulate- strong bass output with a very detailed lower midrange. My plan was to go active and use DSP but never got that far. I bought these from US Speaker and after tax and shipping they cost just over $1,000. I'm asking $600 and that includes fully insured shipping to the lower 48. PP friends and family or US money order. Pictures are of the Beyma woofer next to a stock Chorus woofer for comparison. https://usspeaker.com/beyma 15P80fe-1.htm
  4. I have a single forte II passive for sale, a little dusty and one tiny tear in the gasket on the outside edge as pictured. PP friends and family, cash on pick up or US Money order is accepted. Price includes fully insured shipping to the lower 48. PM me if interested thanks.
  5. Sounds to me like you may need bigger speakers if you're listening loud enough to cause damage try and find some Chorus II's if listening loud is your thing or maybe some of the Pro models; KP-301's or KI-362's- I believe there's a set of 301's in the garage sale section right now, not sure where you're located but these would do the trick:
  6. I helped a member here years back he had a pair of KLF-30's with Emotiva amp and pre and complained about not having any bass. He was semi local about an hour north of me so I loaded up some Sunfire gear amp and Pre and we did a side by side comparison after I checked all of his wiring. The difference in sound quality and bass impact was not subtle- after about a half an hour or so he bought the Sunfire gear from me. We even tried the Emotiva Pre with the Sunfire amp and Emotiva amp with the Sunfire Pre, each time with either Emotiva piece the sound quality went backwards.
  7. Interesting- I was researching this same thing only a week or so ago and there is definitely something to it. From what I gathered there were trade-offs, no free lunch kind of thing. Have you tried different size baffle extenders? I think you can go too far with it may be worth trying a few different sizes to get the best sound possible thanks for sharing!
  8. All you need is 6 channels of amplification, I don't see why you couldn't accomplish this with a single 6 or 7 channel amplifier.
  9. Tri-amping with DSP similar to the HJ. With 2" exit drivers on the mids, external electronic crossovers and lower bass response to 46hz I'm wondering if these new La Scalas are going to be priced higher than the Klipschorn?
  10. So is the hum coming through the speakers or from the amp itself? Forgive me if this has been asked already. 60db hum is obviously unacceptable.
  11. I was always under the impression that what you describe here was the 1.5- basically an H-1 with the k-53 driver. Once Klipsch went with the front mount, non removable back style cabinet they were considered H-II's. I don't think I've seen a rear mounted, plastic k-701 horn but my memory isn't the greatest any more.
  12. From what I've seen and understand when these models were first released they had round input cups with 4ohm stamped on them and then at some point they switched to the rectangular cups with the 8ohm stamp. From the thread you posted and available crossover schematics it would appear only the rating changed, not the crossovers or speakers. Klipsch must have settled on the 8 ohm rating to attract / not scare off potential buyers with the lower, easier to drive load rating?
  13. An eBay listing came up "Klipsch Cornwall K-702 Midrange Driver Part # 1068052" but if you look at the photos it's a Celestion driver with a factory sticker, no Klipsch markings. Now from what I understand this is the suspected driver Klipsch used although that has not been confirmed or denied and if it is no telling if the Chief modified it or had it modified in any way. I sent the seller a message asking if that is in fact the part that came in that box just seems odd Klipsch wouldn't have put their sticker on it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/176268544330?itmmeta=01HR4R64XZ0J5VNSTC84F6V0V5&hash=item290a6c894a:g:14IAAOSwNSpl5KTV&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwPqIk42%2BdNN3UBKymfBjzASwtqog3bNk50AdrzLfLzU%2BMIEXuy%2BqbmIBatXV%2FWBJSiU6fOcnfpeBEJcqLvfDfelP1cTGA3ognvWMIb9SEJDSXAGleZeW2jPIKD9c5mQIziyWFVDCB6FjZmEl0ve%2FTG1etTIg1d6uSDoEVwBXBDJORowdAG1pg66WQlmj12fFCTfIg4A9UdgJr3%2B6iiZHDXJFAbo0WBehXwQr2jqP%2FMX11TIpiJprcc1LCbxOjhC6LA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4zPmJjBYw
  14. I think they started out 4ohm like the forte then later made 8ohms?
  15. I'm around 2200 miles away, had to check would have bought these within an hour of you posting them for sale if they were within a days round trip from me kind of shocked they haven't sold yet.
  16. Those are positioned exactly as designed?
  17. Seems to me he was in a pretty good back and forth / scuffle here last I remember hopefully he's just taking a break to cool off let things settle.
  18. I can tell you the Carver Amazing Silvers I had easily kept up with my Chorus II's as far as raw bass output and hit noticeably lower as well and those are the "smaller" three woofer version, the larger Platinums have four woofers.
