I am just on the edge of buying some caps and just wanted to check the thread with regards to what Tweaker256 mounted them on :-) I'm not getting any notifications despite I am following (does the top option, "A notification when new content is posted ", not mean I should get an email?)
Anyway Jantzen has a crosscap of 33uF and 10uF so 2 could do - though maybe just the true copper bypass would be better. But Deang says above that the electrolyte is in parallel so it does'nt matter anyway. I am not sure what to do, but it is not the most expensive mod..
I've measured one speaker with a umik-1, it looks like https://postimg.org/gallery/2wzh69um4/ (in my room of course). There is a bit of a dip 1300-1700HZ which voices etc benefit from bringing up (I do it digitally on an Odroid xu4, a raspberry is also fine for this)
I've already ordered Jantzen Crosscap capacitators and Jantzen resistors for the tweeter circuit, I'm very curious what will change. Unfortunately the superior Z to expensive. Change the electrolyit which is in parallel does not take too much.

I've ordered some 0.01uF mkt1837's, they're much cheaper than the jantzens but I'm gonna try bypassing both pairs of caps anyway. And also get those Mills. Stage 2 might be too much for my skills, and Audyn's as bypass are too expensive for me right now.
Thanks so much to Tweaker256 for these ideas
If I could do it over, I would probably do as Tweaker256 mentioned in the last post. But those Superiors are beautiful
Hi!
Any result in the stage 2?

I think the 150M will be better in your room. I have RP-160M in 17'x11' room and more than enough. I tried them in more larger room (16'x17') and sound much better than in my room.

Hi guys,
I would like to develop my cables. I use cheap speaker cables and interconects. Could you suggest some cable types and manufactures for me that recommended and fit for Klipsch speakers?
My system: Klipsch RP-160M, NAD C320BEE amp, Topping D30 DAC
What do you think, if I would like to upgrade, could I have change the speaker jumpers on the RP-160M and the RCA jumpers on the NAD?
Thanks,
Istvan

Hi,
I have RP-160Ms, I had a Denon PMA-860 for few weeks. Not bad, but tiring after one hour. Now I purchase NAD C320BEE. With this the sound is more musical, warmer and not tiring than with the Denon.

Hi,
I have RP-160Ms, I tried with Denon PMA-860, I thought it was not bad, but after one hour, the sound was tiring. Now I pair them with Nad C320BEE....OMG, what a sound, more musical, better stereo image, more warmer sound! Denon play "sound" and NAD play "music". I can't draw up better

Looks like the Full Monty is now $142.20 at Parts Express.
I too think more could be gleaned from the horns on these speakers.
I'm going to start with the tweeter circuit. Replace the 3.9uF poly cap, upgrade the resistor and add a copper crossover cap. If I hear a definite improvement, I'll go further. I think I can mount these components in the PCB no problem. I pulled out one of my crossovers and it is tight in there, but this stuff can easily be mounted.
If not, I'll be out some cash. But right now I'm looking at a $2000 set of speakers to try to get a better sound.
These speakers have wonderful sound reproduction in the low and mids. Things start breaking up at the upper mids and highs.
This project might not begin for a few weeks. But I'll post the results here.
Hi!
Any result in the project?

Hi!
First of all, sorry for my english
I have a pair RP160 too with Denon PMA-860. Sound not bad from an A.C ryan HDmini media player analog out but (I think LOL) this is a cheap media player so I have developed. I buy a DAC, Topping D30 few weeks ago. The sound become more detailed but very tiring and harsh. I know my room acoustisc is very bad too. I think going to try with marantz ot yamaha amp or other DAC. Before I buy the RPs, I try with yamaha n602 and marantz and sound very good but these amp are more expensive than the old denon. I don't know what way to go.

I just pressing the inside of the port with my fingers ---> the resonance is decrease --->no noise
(sorry for my english again )

I setup the RP-160Ms at 2016 oktober, which is recent too. I'm sure the noise from the Tractix port in my case, I hear it. If I press a bit the port I don't hear the noise. Try with this song:

Hi,
First of all, sorry for my english
I have RP-160Ms too, and I hear too some resonance from one of the speakers since few days, but only at certain frequencies.
The reason of the noise is the resonance of plastic Tractix port.
I think this one of the solution:
" I added a little dampening to the rear Tractix port for good measure as well, it is plastic and it dose ring a bit when you tap on it. "
How to make the RP-160M come alive!

Otherwise what the amps that you use with the RP-160M? I tried sony and denon vintage integrated amps, but now I use NAD C320BEE and this is the best so far.
I use Topping D30 DAC and a cheap media player AND DELL laptop, but I think the sound is quiet good (for this money) .
