    Here is one video of a diaphragm change similar enough for you to see what it is like. Bob may have a video or a series of photos on his site showing the same. Hope this helps.

     

     

    Thank you! @moray james 

    Bob did send me instructions on how to swap them, I think it's actually on his website (pictures/step-by-step). But a video always helps too.

    They are really easy to put in...

     

    That's what it seems - the more I look into, it's something that can be done in 15 minutes or so. I'm just leery because of how delicate the diaphragm is. I appreciate the feedback, though. Glad it's really easy.

    KLF-30 are great speakers, I have a couple pair.  

    You might want to move them away from the wall a bit more, since they are rear ported.

     

    I'm really enjoying the KLF-30s. Unfortunately I don't have a big room (roughly 11'6" by 14'), but I think now they're about a foot away from the wall... and the position isn't permanent yet. I'll play with that as well as toe-in, since now they're at around a 25 degree angle (Dolby guidelines say 22-30).

    Not sure what you are powering the set up with weziewoo but the KLF are very similar to the RF-7 in the way that they thrive with high power. The more you feed them, the more you get out of them. Congrats on your purchase, I love my KLF-30's and KLF-20's. I wish I had a bigger house so I could accommodate more than the eight I have now

      Hi Tim.

    I'm using an older Integra receiver, THX certified and all that stuff. Supposedly it puts out a solid 100w/channel, but I do plan to have a separate amp for my front three. I used to have an Emotiva amp and it was good. Considering these KLF-30 have a sensitivity of 102 dB/w/m, at least on paper, I haven't felt like I need more... at least for now. 

    I'm sorry, did you say eight?! That's awesome!

    Part of me would like to move them into our living room for a 2-channel setup, but I have my Heresies there now.

    Sorry I just saw this but I have no experience replacing diaphragms. There are lots of threads here if you search a little. I know @moray james is well versed with the Klipsch Legend series and maybe he'll chime in with some pointers.

    Appreciate the offer!

     

    No worries, Billy. Just thought about you since you're local, but I'm likely overthinking this.

    Wouldn't a simple rule clear up most, if not all, listings on the Garage Sale section?

    I've used Swappa for a new phone and reddit exchange for AV accessories. Both places require you to "prove" that you're not a scammer.

    Whoever is posting something here for sale (not alert section) should provide a picture with today's date and username. Simple, yet effective.

     

    P.S.: That's a good staple of mine and it is not for sale, please don't PM offers.

    Did I goof up?? Denon x4400h vs Marantz av7705

    Ok so I am putting my system together a few pieces at a time. With the help of you fellow forum members I have already purchased a SVS PB13 Ultra, Emotiva xpa3 gen 3, Denon x4400h. I am ordering my klipsch rf7iii's and rc64iii hopefully this weekend from Cory. I will be ordering the rears and sides and heights once my theater room is finished. 

     

    So here is where my potential goof up comes into play. I went to Listen Up the other day just to look around and hopefully check out the klipsch rf7's. That place is amazing for one. So the guy that was helping me after I told him what I was building for a system put me into a spiral of confusion LOL. So when i told him about buying the Emotova and the Denon which I have already bought of course. He tried telling me that if I use the emotiva for the front 3 that I would have to get another emotiva to run the rest besides the front 3 is that correct? Or can I just use the denon x4400h to run the rears, sides, and heights? He did show me a Marantz AV8805 while I was there but that thing is way to far out of my price range so he also mentioned the AV7705 which is aboit half the price. I know with the denon I would have to run rcas to the emotiva and of course I would prefer to do XLR if possible which I believe both the above referenced Marantz receivers have. 

     

    Oh and then we started talking about audioquest cables and how important he says they are. Omg to much info I never should have gone on there LOL. 

     

    You do not have to buy another amp (or a receiver/preamp as expensive as the AV8805/7705 he tried to sell ya ;)). You can certainly use the x4400 internal amps to power the rear, sides, and heights.

     

    Audioquest makes nice stuff but are pricey. Look into Blue Jeans Cable if you'd like. 

     

    I'd say just enjoy what you have now. A PB13, XPA3 and RF7/RC64 combo will put a huge grin on your face.

    Sweet, congrats on what worked out to be a good experience.

    You could sell the KV3 and put the money towards a KLF-C7 (eventually) Wife sounds cool put don't push it :lol:

    One was just listed here

    Oh BTW, pictures or we won't believe you..:emotion-22:

     

    Yeah, I got lucky. The little we listened to them last night was enough for her to tell me that if they go in the living room (despite looking big) it's alllll good. She was enjoying the sound coming out of them and smiling beautifully, while I was grinning like a teenager and I was smiling like a hipster doofus.

    She already called the speakers the "little mammoths" and said I need to set them up tonight so we can listen to some music after dinner. 

    I don't have facebook, so I will have to keep an eye out somewhere else. 

     

    I will absolutely take pictures!

    KLF-30's with KV3 Center $600.00 (Albuquerque)

    The KLF-30s have a new home! I met with the lady and husband selling both the KLF-30s and the KV3 at their house yesterday after work, and I brought my wife with me for an extra pair of hands (and because she's slowly getting into this speaker mad world we nutsos live in).

     

    It was actually kind of sad that she had to let go of the speakers. The husband developed a pulmonary disease and has to move to a new city. Considering these speakers are big and cumbersome to move, she decided not to take them. Her son gave her a soundbar and she told me "that thing isn't nearly as cool or sound as good as one of these two!". For a craigslist experience, this went incredibly well.

     

    The few things that really stood out in my opinion, specially for speakers that are 20 years old (?):

    • The amount of dog hair on and around them wasn't as bad as my wife made it seem, but it gave her an allergy attack for a couple of hours. Oops!;
    • No broken pegs. Not a single one;
    • Badges, tags, binding posts, feet and whatnot: all still there;
    • Although not consecutive serial numbers, the hue/shade of the oak finish is pretty darn identical. I am not bothered by it at all; 
    • All drivers are in excellent condition, and even my wife couldn't believe how they were in such good shape;
    • The amount of bass coming out of these speakers makes you grin quite a bit. I do wish the ports were on front, but I will have to tweak with placement.

    They are going in my dedicated home theater (hahaha that sounds silly... it's really just a 11x14 room that we use to play games and watch movies).

    The KV3 left me underwhelmed, but I think almost anything would not be able to hold a candle to these KLF-30s, so I will set everything up and see how it goes.

     

    I didn't have time last night to set everything up as I want, but my wife is going out of town for a few days and I will very soon have a KLF-30, KV3, RB61, and dual PSA XV15se for a 5.2 system. Pretty excited for this weekend.

     

    Best case scenario: I keep the KLF-30s where they are now and be done with it (yeah right... like you can ever be done with this hobby)

    Worst case scenario: I move the KLF-30s to the living room and get a RF7/RC64 combo from Cory within the next few months. Ok, that could not possibly be a "worst" case scenario, it would only cost money. 

     

     

    Thanks for the input, @Woofers and Tweeters , , , unless you're looking side by side, it is hard to tell they have different wood/cathedral grains. Funny you mention cathedrals, because I work on a furniture shop and a coworker gave a hard time that I kept calling them stalactites or stalagmites... because that's what they look like to me! haha

    So what is the verdict @weziewoo ?  Inquiring minds want to know ;)

    I'm driving a red Cruze... the damn thing's actual color is "Pull me over Red". My wife giggled and told me it's a matter of time before I get a ticket.

     

    That's a nice looking Silverado. I miss my truck days

    First 7.2.4 Klipsch Theater Room Help!

    Ali,

    The PB16 is one heck of a sub... but for duals' pricing, I'd be looking at JTR (Cap 2400) and Rythmik (FV15HP) for deeper base; PSA (V3611) for more mid-bass slam. Depends what your expectations are and if you have any limitations on size/placement.

     

    Regardless of which path you take, it'll be a pretty amazing room.

     

    Best of luck
