  1. Yes it is Max2. The TT is a Thorens 320 and the CD player isa Simaudio Moon Nova. Yes the system sounds wonderful. I am happy with the bass inspite of my inability of placing the speakers flush to the wall.
  2. please turn you speakers vertical I figured it out. Thanks.
  3. I actually already have 9" pieces to do that, I have just been enjoying them so much I haven't pulled them back off to add them yet. Thanks for taking the time to post pictures. Looks super straight forward! I could probably do it myself! Looks great! No sweat Boubou and thank you. A member here Davis419b was they guy that filled me in with the idea and the "how to". Apparently he has done several pair this way and would be a great source of info. I will try to contact Davis419b...thanks!
  4. please turn you speakers vertical Yes! I agree! Don't know how. Tried but did not succeed. If you can give me instructions I would follow them. Thanks,André
  5. Thanks Steve. I am happy but a bit of a perfectionist. The insight I received from Max2 may up the performance to another level. Also by showing a picture of their placement other members with similar placement may be able to offer some insight. Ahh a perfectionist! Then you'll want to rip down that wall molding, move that radiator and raise that ceiling (if 8 foot) and get those speakers tight against the corners and walls. But you knew that already. I am envious of the width and the length of the room you have them in. Can I ask what year those are? Perhaps they could benefit from a capacitor replacement? Anything more than about 20 years and those caps are drying out. How loud do you listen? Some of the networks that the guys make on here might be something to look into depending on your listening levels (extreme slope) and what you thing needs to be changed - such as too much midrange or treble, etc.... carpeting in front of the speakers helps to absorb some of the higher frequencies. Long story short you've come to the right place if you want suggestions about how to make your Klipschorns sound as good as they were made to sound. Everyone on this site is extremely helpful and very pleasant to deal with. Hi Steve! The ceilings are high...12 feet...sunken drawing room. The Klipschorns serial numbers are 1B912 making them 1963. The original crossovers are in a box. The new crossovers are ALK Klipsch duplicates. The speakers have received a gentle restoration so they are very original and sound magnificent. All the original stickers are still in place as well. They replace vintage Bozak B4000 Symphony speakers that have gone out for restoration. The amp is a McIntosh MC2105 ,preamp McIntosh C22, tuner is a MR71, Turn table is a Thorens TD320 and the CD player a Simaudio Moon Nova. The advice and generosity here is great. Best, André

  7. Very good possibility that I will ! Thanks!
  8. Great suggestion. I presently have round felt pads. The beige foam carpet grippers will give better coverage. Thanks for that!
  9. Thanks Steve. I am happy but a bit of a perfectionist. The insight I received from Max2 may up the performance to another level. Also by showing a picture of their placement other members with similar placement may be able to offer some insight.
  10. Thanks very much for this insight. It makes a lot of sense.
  11. Hello, I've attached a few pictures showing the corner placement of my two speakers. Because of wall mouldings and right side radiator my speakers cannot be placed flush into the corners. There is 1 to 2 inch distance from the wall. I get very good bass response nevertheless. Also the speakers are on the respective corners of a 25 foot length wall. By my calculations there is a 19 foot or so space between the two speakers. Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.
