  1. eric!!!!

    an
    intresting question although my take is, not heritage or
    reference , more the klipsch sound.

    the fact that a company that produce a quality product, from 50 plus years ago to be compaired with its product of today,

    where
    the vision of the inventor is still present today. i don't believe
    klipsch will or have, but rather maintain the sound.

    my opionion though through limited experiance, 76 corn 90 quartet 2000 ss&sc1

  2. Thank's for your response,yes&yes,

    from responses it
    seems that the there is a vast difference in design goals, realising
    that the high standards needed to acheive the buliders goal,

    the
    technacial specification in their design will only be visible on a
    scope, and their audioble range,can only be heard by the listiner,


    baised on the voicing of the bulider,so since a class" a/b" by its very
    nature is built on the basis of change its naturally seeks to adapt as
    stress is

    applied.

    The class" a" design is whatever condition, its requirement is to function in its design range.

    two different approach to the listner's ear.

    thanks

  3. For my edification

    does an amplifier exhibit the same charastic wether a 3,5,25 , watt ss or tube played in class "a" as

    a 30, 50,125, tube or ss amplifier design for a/b played in class "a"

    what would be the defficiences of the class a/b amp. please not trying to irritate or incite

    seems to me that one is beign infered i'am looking for clarification.

  4. Question would be what is there about the fotre that you least appreciate,

    and your expectation of the cornwalls. the numbers on the front might seem atractive , in the long

    run the possibilities and cost of owning cornwalls might just outweight the benifit.effiency will change sound,

    amplification might need to be changed, upgrade of network is verry possible and is suggested, size , listening habbits,

    after considering these and other factors, if it seems good trade on.

  5. Verygood point , although i might suggest that a perodic inspection every10 years could prevent some of these situation,

    though
    it also opens the pockets of those who can least afford to
    " how much insurance can the regular joe afford "?.

    its one of the most feared utility we use , and ironically one of the safest due to its strindgent code. [:o]

  6. meagain!


    i can't remember reading any where that you are experiencing problem
    blowing fuses or tripping breakers,

    i t seems to me in my ignorance to first install an indevidual &dedicated branch circuit including the grounding conductor

    from
    your panel box, ask your elecrtrician to use #10wire , by the way is
    your house in conduit,or some type of sheath cable?

    hopefully you'll have additional space in your box, if not i"m sure an electrician who is capable will be able to see what load

    is beign used on your smallest circuits and safely combine them to free up a circuit for this purpose,


    Unless you are using an astsomical amount of power
    the demand load that is calculated in an electrical service is never
    maxemised,

    this is why 200 Amps is now beign used verses100 Amp from the
    pass. spiking happens in pico secounds and realistically should not
    affect

    your system. Also have the electrican check and tighten
    the conductors in your box especally the neutral , which if loose and
    is a part of a multiwire

    circuit can in some cases present a higher constant voltage , this would not be good at all.

  7. Some of the changes i've made over the last few
    months, has been to change origonal caps to Bec GE cans,this made
    a marked difference to clarity. replacing speaker wire, and i do
    understand that some are of the opinion that this does not affect
    sound. From my own experience there is a improvement, tried ic with
    same wire and the SS seem to become laboured where as the bottlehead
    pre through acurus amp was a bit sharpry,the ic remained with the
    bottlehead.

    This i
    listen to quite often only having to warm up limited the combo and
    listening was done mostly at weekend, so was very fimiliar with
    sound,now the outlaw pre and amp came together like effortless. Nice
    top to bottom.just needed a bit more upper mids, and the last shimmer
    from a simbal,

    which brings me to this point, bought some VCaps
    and replace the Bec, these caps Dean made mention of in a tread
    thah he thought highly of , and from how they have affected my system i
    can say they are nothing to snivle at .because of how the tube gear
    sounds ,getting what i am aiming for in the upper mid and the high back
    into my ss will make it worthwhile.

  8. from gaspr post this would be most benifical to those who would like
    tohave some type of real life situation to get a clearer view ,there is
    a large amount of info to sift through, & focusing on a
    particular project would definately benifit some one like me .

    excelent means of bringing this topic into focus.

  9. Thanks for your responce ! didn't actually consider room treatment as a probable cause,

    seems
    like a course in engineering needs to be my next course of action,is
    there no quick fix in this hi-tech world of accustic. plastered
    walls,ceiling, tile floor =wall treatment.



  10. After replacing caps in cornwall 1 found the sound that you are now getting is a change wherein dewald

    tube intregrated amp is sounding like your SS, and bottlehead
    pre, relaxed and smooth only a bit more of all you had aim for.

    ie top , mid more pronounced without beign harsh.

    Then only to find that your beloved ss is in serious need of some aditional something, it seem to me that possible the

    problem area might be my outlaw 950, which i'm quite fond of.and would have discribe as natural,so too the acurus amp.

    my delima how to recapture the signiture of my system without too much upheaval,a great sleeper pre would be nice,

    not tube .I have enough to use as reference.


    This is about a certain sound that i've been trying to atain and
    find it evolving where i least expected it to,what would
    you do?

  11. After seeing a post by dean about v cap and his statement that this is now his ''new'' not to desert cap

    i ordered some for my cornwalls, and am awaiting their arrival,one question that i have is in reguards to

    a mod that was done where in a cap of small value was used in the electrical outlet across the live & neutral.

    can some one shed some light as to what effect, ie purpose benefit to be had.

    From what i understand the inductor need not be changed as this will not have any adverse effect in the circuit,my

    aim is basically to see if there is any advantage between the upgrage that was done by bobcrites , which i can quite easily

    live with. my hope is to have improvement in the Midrange, and am trying to achive this without steping into the area of

    equiptmemt upgrade.

    Thanks for any responce,

  12. beign so close to a really good system i'd tend to hold out a little bit longer, never heard it though from all reports

    a
    pretty good amp vdr's!!! peach' or which ever one with ht
    bypass, a nice cd player, then go for your herasy , i think a
    system

    on this level would be very satisfying for a long time , move up the food chain. don't flounder at in the bargin basement.

  13. Gil you're quite right on the positioning, and having the speakers
    raised, helps to eliminate its lack of height. i had my quartet
    up about 8''

    and even now use them on cornwalls. I've
    only heard the forte II when purchasing the quartet. and much
    perfered how they sounded.

    possibly its over emphisis on bass disuaded me from the forte.though still an option and perfrence for many.

  14. how does these two reletive different values compare to spec, of k33,? also will network be influence to any reilistic degree

    baised on difference in ohm values. jim i beleive you indicated that the speakers sound more balanced,in terms of volume or

    baised on low ,mid , hi.
