    Penn and Nicole Mattison's daughter, Millie, has infantile spasms with hypsarrhythmia, a form of epilepsy. By the time she was four months old she was having upwards of 700 seizures a day. The Mattisons tried numerous medications and diet plans, but Millie didn't improve. After her doctors said they'd tried everything they could, the Mattisons looked to Colorado for an alternative treatment.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Tracy and Josh Ryan's daughter, Sophie, was a typical eight-month-old girl until the day her eye began twitching. An MRI showed that she had an optic pathway glioma brain tumor. Given how young she was, the only option was to begin chemotherapy, though the Ryans were told that the tumor would probably shrink only slightly. Convinced that the chemotherapy wasn't doing enough, they began to research other options.

     

     

     

     

    Sarah and David Rowland's daughter Lily began having seizures when she was just six months old. Diagnosed with a severe case of epilepsy, she continued to have 200 to 300 seizures a day despite heavy medication. When the Ryans were told that the only other option was brain surgery, they began investigating alternative treatments in Colorado.

     

     

  2. This should illustrate my confusion a bit better.  This is in my room with an RP-250C right now, with a calibrated UMIK-1 from Cross Spectrum.  I did the same thing you did and put the microphone inside the horn.  Notice the erratic response as I would expect. I then pulled the microphone back 10" and measured again which is the magenta line.  Quite a bit smoother but it's still not rolling off starting at 16 kHz like you were showing, and upper extension was actually better than inside the horn.  Unless you were in an acoustic chamber and measured the right way I just wouldn't trust measurements like this, I just don't think it is a viable test.  This is literally the same setup with only the microphone moving back 10".

    So strange, my final guess is that there is a tollerance level at klipsch and they send them out with response like mines or yours. No bs, HA yeah right my ***[emoji19], I rather a company that keeps the spec honest than one that BS me or anyone, I've learned. At least a yours make it to 20khz no matter how it's measured.

    Are you using the calibration file that came from MiniDSP?  They only go to 20 kHz.  Here is an example:

    Not to mention that there's no telling what your sound card is doing that high.  

     

    Yeah i downloaded both files with the code printed on the mic. its coming from my GPU GTX 980 via HDMI to my avr. i guess the mic is falling off then? since it says only 20khz?

    There seems to be a problem in the measurement system that I can't explain.  I seen the graph.  If you like what you are hearing, I wouldn't be concerned.  Now, it is time to let the music/movies play!  The FV 15HP is a nice sub and should feel the bottom nicely for music and movies.  You have got a good system!  Did the Sony avr give you a XO point?  My avr set the RF 7 II to 80 Hz which is great.  I don't care about the spec's and alway keep the XO much higher.  It leads to greater dynamics and midrange performance.

     

    Thanks allot:). yeah i settled at 80hz after messing around for a while, it just makes sense and works without any problems at all.

    ps you have the rich man setup!!:o 3 systems is insane :ph34r:

    You have not said how the speakers sound and do you like them?  If something is not right, it is easy to detect after some time listening to them.  If you can't get the measurements, you want, it may be anothr problem not related to the speakers.  I would hate to see you get rid of nice speakers just due to the measurements.

     

    They sound amazing, i completely rewired everything found out i had a phase problem and got that fixed with REW and it sounded better than never. i just found it strange that the center and tower tweeters didn't even make it to the clearly advertised spec. i just took this one with the mic a few inches further away.

     

    The measurement file on my Google Drive, maybe i am reading it wrong? and their idea of 25khz has a drop off?

    Got mine done last night as.  There is not the same drop off you are seeing MrGrey.  I didn't have time to send a graph to my pc, as my wife was complaining it was 1230AM and I was fiddling with speakers.  But my drop-off was less drastic and didn't start until 238000 hz.  Even then it only fell off just shy of 9% from max output at 15k hz. 

     

    MrGrey, I am absolutely NOT saying you are doing anything wrong, but mine appear to be working close to advertised specs.  I won't speculate for you, just wanted to update the lobby that mine are in fact working is all, so please do not take offense to my update. 

     

    I hope you get it sorted MrGrey

     

    That's interesting, i take no offense at all. do you mind telling me how you took the measurements? that mic placements and how far from the tweeter. since my RP-250C center is doing the same i want to make sure its not a defect from that batch i have since i purchased as soon as it was released.




  7. Is your microphone calibrated properly and are you using the right angle?  Unless you know it's calibrated and loaded the right file and are using the right angle, I'm not sure I'd trust high frequency graphs much.  







     







    I'm surprised it is that flat inside a room with no EQ, you should still be getting reflections of some sort.  




    It's flat because I took it right up to the tweeter to eliminate the room response so I can know for sure it's not the room.

  8. What I meant by angle is if you get a calibrated UMIK from Cross-Spectrum, they measure it at 0 degrees, 45, and 90.  You have to use the right file based on which way it is pointing, there's actually six that are supplied.  I would assume that it could roll off up high if you didn't.  

    Yes I did exactly that, since I am point it inches from the tweeter I didn't use the 90 degree file I used the other that was supplied for this type of measurements.

  9. I am going to use my gear tonight to check.  I will post tomorrow as well since I have a pair of RP-280f.  Thanks to Scrappy for looking into this as well.  Hopefully it's just a single thing, not trying to be rude MrGrey.  Hope you can get it sorted





    I did it exactly how it's supposed to be done with the right calibration file and mic, even did it again today to make sure nothing is wrong and the Towers and center have the same response. Pretty strange because I've never seen this.

  10. Is your microphone calibrated properly and are you using the right angle?  Unless you know it's calibrated and loaded the right file and are using the right angle, I'm not sure I'd trust high frequency graphs much.  Yeah the second one is the atmos version of the towers so idk if that matters.

    Yes I am using the UMIK-1 Mic with the right calibration file since I am point the mic inches away from tweeter.

  11. I'm fresh out of reference premieres. i have a friend with some that lives a couple miles from me. who knows when i could get over there to measure though. 

    I'll see if I can get any official word from Klipsch or some graph to compare it to directly from them so I know I am within the realistic real-world spec of these tweeters and not what's written on a spec sheet.

  12. well then i would say the specs were inflated 



    I'd be interested in seeing others with the same speaker measure their tweeter because idk if this could really be true, its just too insane. Also I had a problem a few months back with one speaker sounding louder it was said it was my room since the speaker measured flat together with all inputs, now I have this weird problem but it's both fronts and center measuring the same... I'm freaking lost here.

    Inflated specs.......never seen that before :P

     

    make sure there isn't anything going on with EQ from receiver at all. What kind of gear are you working with. I know audyssey in stock form cuts down the highs quite a bit. I find myself changing mine from reference to flat soon as calibration is done. 

     

    No EQ at all, i reset the AVR to stock and have only one speaker attached and the response is pretty much the same.
