  1. If you still have these would you sell one of the 500s ?
  2. Seems to be too many inductors and two boards for a 2 way; these must be 4th order and the kind you can change a strap to make them a 3 way. Schematic by any chance?
  3. I changed out the K33s in my TSCMs. I did them separately so I could compare the unmodified bin from the one with the new Crite's cast frame speaker. The result was a modest increased in volume and what seemed to be boomier [forgive my unscientific use of this set of letters] bass. I can not tell if this is due to a more efficient speaker or actual lower response but I suspect it might be a bit of both. I did not have source material that allowed for an accurate measurement of frequency response. The apparent increase in bass was noted by several of us that listened to the two playing the same material. I watch a lot of movies and lacking a quality sub the additional bass seems to improve the experience.
  4. This is similar to the price I paid but I have invested a bunch in ALK steep slope crossovers and upgraded all 14 speaker/drivers. The result has been rewarding and my total cost is similar to a run of the mill set of used Khorns. Although thinking about it I have sold all 14 original drivers and that made these more like a set of distressed Khorns.

    TUBA HT

    If there were originally detailed instructions of some kind I do not have them. Unfortunately my plans seem to be limited to drawings basically showing general dimensions and a couple of pictures of the unit after it was originally assembled. Seems to me that the area passing through the wall will simply add about 4 inches to the horn and perhaps lower its resonant frequency by a cycle or two which I agree will not be noticeable. Thanks for the info.

    TUBA HT

    Thanks for the response. Since your note I have experimented with my existing sub and was unable to hear any significant difference when I flipped the phase switch back and forth. I do not have plans that provide any insight into the use. 1] Will the height off the ground make a significant change in the dispersion? As designed the opening is at floor level. However by placing the unit upside down the opening is 2 feet off the floor. Will this have any meaningful effect on the effects? 2] With my current sub I find I get the best effect by placing the speaker about 18 inches from a corner facing into the corner. I am wondering if this same effect will work with the HT. 3] Another possibility is to make the appropriate sized hole in the wall and put the unit in the adjoining attic. I am wondering if the opening will act as an additional extension to the horn and if so what effect?

    TUBA HT

    Height off ground? Point exit into corner? Extend audio channel through wall adding 3 inches; what effect? Why do the amps have a phase switch when the input is identified with plus and minus?

    Anyone with TUBA HT experience? I am assembling a TUBA HT in the 24 inch version. Anyone with know how on the TUBA?

  10. More: Install an acoustic cloth on the Center and a 24" TUBA HT is being reassembled and we will be finished.
  11. More Sorry 2 pics is all I seem to be able to upload.
  12. This was an high slope attic. We added nearly 1000 feet there. Pics show progression. We have just added acoustic foam and Bass traps which to my pleasure noticeably improved on an already good thing. Finally to match up w/ the radically modded TSCMs I ended up making my own center out of two Klipschorn horns driven by DE 220 ti drivers. The 10" woofers were installed with a sealed acoustic suspension box with measured 5 db down at 45 hz. A modified 24 db/octave crossover with some creative wiring matched the more efficient HF units to the woofers. Results have steadily improved to the point my guests consistently like my sound better than any commercial movie theater they have been in. I am pleased. The TSCMs have 24db crossovers with upgraded mid-range drivers and DE 120 tweeters. The improvement has been very noticeable ! The front surrounds are RS-52ii, the rear surrounds RS 62ii, the rear height are RB81ii with 4 Klipsch in-the-wall speakers in the ceiling. Currently they are paired with the surrounds. Powered by a 9.1 Marantz with a Samsung top blue ray and 85" 4k Samsung TV. More photo coming.

    Klipsch TSCM EBay

    For an update. Chased and chased for a TSCM top so made my own two way Center speaker. Two Klipschorn horns with DE 220 drivers with two 10" KLF -20 replacement woofers. Sealed acoustic suspension box with a crudely measured frequency base down about 5 db at 40 cps. Modified a 24 db crossover which along with some creative wiring got a good balance between the 95 db woofers and the higher efficiency horns. Still have to cover with acoustic cloth. Now my center is a full match for the TSCMs Net result has been fabulous. Coupled with the new acoustic tiles and Bass traps the theater has fabulous presence, surround effect, and general great sound. The consensus of users is that no movie theater can match my sound. Next: Re assemble a 24 inch TUBA HT for a subwoofer.
  14. My X speakers are labeled Atlas PD-5VH. Same speaker Crites sells for $288 a pair.
  15. I have a pair of K55-x drivers will sell for $125.00. [ No horns ] I am in North Dallas. Crites discription: Atlas PD-5VH Alnico Midrange drivers. Same as the K-55V and K-55X. Shipping for a pair of these new drivers is $13.00 in the US. Pair Atlas PD-5VH Drivers: $288.00
  16. Why have these not sold???????????? With upgrades probably the best of all the Klipsch tower speakers.
  17. Clean looking set of 3 at what looks like a decent $. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-RS7-Pair-Klipsch-RC7-black-surround-speakers-/263050635318?hash=item3d3f0a2836:g:5FAAAOSwSzRZS2lw
  18. Says the unit is a 62, not a 62ii. But... the picture shows a round cover.
  19. Condition and Price but yes I am interested
  20. The 52s are also the RS-52ii and if I find a pair or 62ii will be ready to let someone else feed them.
  21. Point taken. Would like to increase my stable to 4.
  22. I currently have a set of rs 52s and a set of 62s. Want to pair up my 62s so the 52s are for sale or trade and I am looking for a pair of 62s. Round grill version. Any one want to trade; I would throw in some $.
