Chief bonehead

Absolutely. Thanks!!

Exactly

I’ll take one

Specification and finding parts/drivers that will not vary outside a certain limit is the hardest part. You wouldn’t believe how hard that is..........consistency

It wasn’t a bother. I was trying to answer as candidly as you were asking. It’s all good. Have a great day yourself.

Have you ever done voltage transfer curves? And then ran a free response on the speaker to make sure that speaker still performed as intended? The total network has to perform a certain way. Arbitrarily changing components without checking to see what it does to the overall response is not a good idea. Whether or not you have respect is not my deal. This is what is approved. You can either get them or not.

It several things but the most thing is that when it is placed in the circuit that it provide the right voltage to the drivers as specified by Klipsch.

Deano? 🤓

Or you’re deaf. 🤓

Unnecessary

And unnecessary.....

Well......you play games And I learn quick and play your silly games....and I never saw anyone ask those questions so clean your glasses bro. and I will say this....when someone ask genuine questions and I am on the forum....I answer them as correctly as I can.

Well you finally asked a valid question......

I promise that won’t happen. That’s why my name is chief bonehead. I can recognize them from a long ways off....🤓

I have thought of how we could offer upgrade kits in spirit of how Mr K did. And I am still trying to figure out ways to make them simple and doable.......

Amazing....and exhausting.......

Amazing......

It was before my time and I got there in 1986.

Congrats Jim!!

I’m not a diplomat so I’m good with it. Your history on Klipsch is not complete. Paul did recommend bracing although he proposed a different way. Klipsch started to spec a different plywood specifically for the la scala in order to avoid the resonances. and the answer to your question is yes.

Heavy metal. Yes. And even a little punk. But I have never rotated my woofers. The woofers I have ever heard of that the manufacturer recommended rotating the woofer was an ev sub that had a 27” woofer. And that was because of its heavy heavy mass.

5 hours ago, Chris A said: I plan to stay with the particular contributions of Klipsch in the areas where I enjoy the benefits of product ownership--because the value has been so high. I've bought no products from others in this thread. As such, I hold the value they produce here to be much lower than Roy's. He is trying to send a message to those that advise others here to tinker with PWK's designs for which they actually have no measurable or usable expertise in that particular subject domain. It's reasonable to acknowledge this and to behave in like manner with those observations. bingo.

Make sure you get your facts straight. My original comment to the op was genuine. And once again do what you want to your speaker but it’s not a Klipsch speaker anymore.

I have said in many other places that my hope in updates to Mr K speakers was to hope to do all things he wanted to do but didn’t get a chance. I respect him very much and I would never do a “Roy” upgrade. I had the privilege to work and talk with Mr K and we always talked about the things he wanted to do. All I hope to do is to do things he wanted but he just ran out of time. You make a lot of assumptions. Not going to debate them. But I will say this, if Klipsch makes an update then by that measure, it is a Klipsch speaker.
