No air vacuum with the brush, do not press. The engine must be adjusted weakly. For more security, the air exhaust from the tube must be left a little open! For inaccessible places you can use a soft brush and a little further hold the brush of the vacuum cleaner running gently. The dust will fly with the soft brush and then be sucked a little further.

I've already done cleaning like that, it's perfect!

Here also in France, many Klipsch fans talk about the Heresy IV saying: "these are no longer true Klipsch," "betrayal" "they are no longer closed like all Heresy before". As Chef Bornehead says, they haven't even listened to the IV news and therefore they give a void opinion. I also find that everyone is talking about the evolution of HIV compared to HIII, only for port bass reflex: they forget the new Tractrix K704 driver and horn set, the new K107 tweeter with the new broadcast part, the new Network, the new cables and new terminals. Because as the Chef says: common methods, but a different recipe makes a different and unique sound. I am also an amateur who builds speakers since the 80's, for me and friends, but I am only an amateur and I am like DaveA: passionate, but humble know that I ignore a lot of things, that I have to make big mistakes and I like to learn a lot from specialists like Roy Delgado. I find it a unique opportunity and a privileged privilege that he writes here on the forum, that he discusses in all humility and so kindly, with us simple amateurs and owners of Klipsch. Thanks to you, Klipsch employees for chatting with us on the forum. 😀

Hi, For me : It is important to respect and save the groove of your discs. For this you must use a Fine Line stylus or equivalent (Microline, SAS, Shibata, ...) For Shure II or III at LPGear SAS or NeoSAS from Jico or their Vivid Line from LPGear: https://www.lpgear.com/category/SS3.html?CatListingOffset=24&Offset=24&Per_Page=12&Sort_By=price_desc example Shure V15 type III https://www.lpgear.com/product/SHVN35HEL.html https://www.lpgear.com/product/SHVN35HESAS.html At home I use a ViVid Line from LPGear on a Stanton 881S with great success, the sound is very beautiful. In new I recommend the Microline or Shibata from Audiotechnica https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/cartridges/e7a3d4bc8b248b64/index.html https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/cartridges/e798922daa95de6d/index.html For the plates the new Audiotechnica are very good for their price and the advantage and that they are supplied with an Audiotechnica cartridge, it is enough just to buy a replacement sylet Microline or Shibata https://www.audio-technica.com/cgi-bin/product_search/turntables/turntables.pl?lang=eng The majority of the current turntables are manual, so for disc ends I recommend an Audiotechnica arm lifter https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/accessories/398e4995e9bfe926/index.html

@parlophone1 Yes I saw that on the net, here in France the TV info does not talk about it, because it loops on the CoVid 19 and it is a shame. I hope it goes for you, we think of you. Croatia is such a beautiful country, beautiful landscapes and cities !

Here a huge military plane with a hospital in it evacuated patients from Mulhouse in Alsace. Archive image And in the next few hours a military field hospital will be set up

Hi @wvu80 I answered you on the previous page ! edit: ok I just saw that you read it, great 👍

Thanks for the feedback and your feeling of listening 👍 You know that you can very easily lower the sensitivity of your HF103 without changing the impedance, by 8 ohms in your case, so that the parameters of your filter / network do not change. If you do not want to place new resistors on your filter, you can place the terminals at the terminals of the HF103. For example, to decrease 3 dB, you can put about 2.3 ohms in series and 20 ohms in parallel. If you just want a drop of 1 or 2 dB, you need to put other resistors in the Lpad. If you lack a bit of brightness above 6 kHz, you can put a capacitor of around 1µF or 1.5µF in parallel with the 2.3 ohms resistor. No need to modify your speaker and wiring for this you can put male and female lugs on your new Lpad to insert it between the wires and the HF103 As @Deang says, pay attention to the impedance at the network crossing point!

Hi @wvu80 To answer your question I live in an average city of around 16,000 inhabitants. We are a family with 4 children between 11 and 17 years old and both parents, we also have 1 dog, 1 cat and 1 pool with fish. We are fortunate to have an individual house with each his room, so the organization is quite simple from this point of view. We are fortunate to have a large enclosed garden with walls, so it is comfortable for us. Our 4 children are no longer in middle school or high school for the older children. The school is done remotely with the internet, but since there are 12 million students and 4 million students, the education servers do not work well because they are saturated: the computer scientists work to fluidify the net and then we have received weekly connection schedules by class level so that there is a turnover and not everyone connects at the same time. We went shopping to feed everyone, but calmly for 10 days and without a lot of people around us, without rushing and without stupidly stocking as we see on television. People stay at home respecting the rules. We can go out for 4 reasons with a travel certificate: 1- commute to work, if teleworking at home impossible, 2- food shopping 3- travel for health reasons, 4- short trip and next to the home, for physical activity only (group prohibited), needs of pets (dogs). Since today, the Police have been checking passers-by to find out if they have their declaration on their honor signed and if they have a good reason for leaving: if this is not the case, they will impose a fine of € 135 ( about $ 150) to violators who do not respect confinement. Many people left the big cities and in particular Paris, to go in the family to the countryside, but not always correctly: for example they were very numerous agglutinated with a few centimeters to be separated, not at least 1 meter or more as is the rule on the station platform, but now it's over, because travel is prohibited. The whole population supports people in hospitals: doctors, nurses, paramedics, staff, ... Schools keep their children so that they can work in the hospital, clinic, pool medical, ... Closed restaurants have delivered free pizzas so they can eat at the hospital, ... Of course we saw on the TV some idiots who queued up to go and buy tons of pasta or medicine, but like everywhere they are only a few% of the population, here as elsewhere (Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, ...) 99% or even more of the people respect the rules. I imagine that with you it is the same thing, a small group of idiots does a few things and it is them that we show in loop for 24 or 48 hours on TV on a news channel continuously, but it is not necessarily the majority. Morale is good here Good luck to you !

Paris deserted streets and squares https://www.bfmtv.com/mediaplayer/video/coronavirus-les-rues-sont-desormais-quasiment-desertes-a-paris-1230946.html

Have you seen Ctek or other maintainer? Change the battery with a new one and use a charge maintainer! Modern cars do this, if the battery is too low the vehicle will go into safety, impossible to start. I had this surprise with my 2010 Mustang, nothing more without warning: battery change and purchase of a Ctek https://www.ctek.com/ https://www.ctek.com/products

Hello ! Here in France >>> We have been in containment since noon, it is 3:30 PM. The country is arrested. There are images of Paris and big towns live on the news channels: the streets are empty, only the police who check the few people who have left a past: doctor, medical trip, state services, emergencies, foods, ... It's impressive ! Nice juste 1:07 after start of containment, ordinary it's full https://www.bfmtv.com/mediaplayer/video/confinement-la-promenade-des-anglais-a-nice-videe-de-ses-passants-1230906.html

I don't know if I understand all the subtleties of what you wrote, but I'm talking to you about this gentleman. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_de_Lamothe-Cadillac

@DizRotus no i don't know, thanks for the link i will watch. You have a famous brand that pays homage to a Frenchman who founded the automobile city of Detroit: the brand is Cadillac, the gentleman is Antoine de Lamothe-Cadillac. Here Cadillac is a small town with us in Gascogne, South West of France... 😀

😁 I also had a Guzzi California for 10 years, it is a very beautiful Italian motorcycle, but there is no French motorcycle. For cars there are no longer too many beautiful French cars, while in time there are some very beautiful: for example the Citroën DS. Today there are again beautiful cars made in France, but at the top of the range: the Alpine A110 and also, but there it is really inaccessible the Bugatti which are made in Alsace.

On my Harley I use https://www.odysseybattery.com/ It's great Battery + Ctek Charger Note : @Dave1290 no new ride in France at this time 😪 because covid19

I use Ctek for my Mustang and my 911 : it's very very great 👍 do you have that in the US? It's officially used by Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes-Benz,... https://www.ctek.com/ https://www.ctek.com/products

That's it, France is in complete containment like Italy and Spain, start of confinement tomorrow at noon (12:00 PM)!

Ok ! 👍

It's just for the setting temporarily, after once everything is finished, you will hide everything in it 😉

I also just thought of something: I also believe that your problem is that the ALK filter is in the box and that you must open your Cornscala at each adjustment. You cannot temporarily exit the ALK network (extend the connecting wires), close your cash register and do the tests. Once the correct setting is found, you can permanently put your ALK network back in Cornscala.

I'm French, So I do not master all the subtleties of the language of Shakespeare, You can ask your American friends to tell you if I wrote a mistake, or if I used false friends in my comments, but yes go like that for settings. After it is according to your tastes, you can start from this base and refine according to your desire. To guide you I took the data from the manufacturers of your speakers (Eminence and B&C). This is why it is necessary to refine it calmly by ear, because between the measurements of the manufacturers and your assembly with a box for the woofer, slightly different horns, a different room, ... there will be small differences. So start already from the base I gave you and tell us if you like. Then we can guide you to refine a little, but only after. Good listening 😀 Note : In addition it seems to me that there is a typo in the data of the Eminence 3015LF-4, they announce 96db / w / m of output while the curve is closer to the 98 on the card, in any case there is a problem ; either the curve is false, or the value of 96db is false. So I started from 98db to guide you, but from a distance without listening or measuring it is hard, so test and tell us if it is going in the right direction. https://www.eminence.com/pdf/Kappalite_3015LF_4.pdf

Voici un commentaire qui semble aller dans le même sens que ce que je vous dis. Note : always think that you can refine with the combination of the red wire with -0 / -1 / -2 and the position of the black wire to make good of only 1db of jump. For 7db of attenuation do 9db - 2, for 8db of attenuation do 9db - 1, for 9db of attenuation do 9db - 0, for 10db of attenuation do 12db- 2, for 11db of attenuation do 12db - 1, for 12db do 12db - 0db, etc ...

In my opinion there is no reason that an ALK filter should be harder than another, certainly the quality of the components seems more ordinary with basic Audyn Cap, but the difference must be subtle. For me it is more a question of balance of level in db between the channels which makes this feeling, it is certain that if the squawker is at 108-6db = around 102 db and the tweeter at 106db - 2db around 104db and that the bass woofer is at 98db, the squawker is more than 2 times stronger, the tweeter 4 times stronger, so it seems too strong and hard. In the end the sound is unbalanced, the bass is weak and the sound is sour, without seat and too thin: it seems harsh. The basic rule and take the woofer as a reference and align the squawker, then tweeter it to have a smooth curve or very slightly hollowed out at the level of the squawker, according to your tastes. Finally if you like a fine and detailed sound, very slightly mount the tweeter by 1 or 2 db compared to the whole. Here are the tests that must be done first: blue arrows for the squawker and green arrows for the tweeter.

If I read correctly you have to combine: for example for - 10db you have to do 12db -2db = 10db of attenuation for your DE85. After lowering DE120 by 4, 5 or 6 db
