  1. Thanks. Yes I'm aware of these issue and hence had completely removed front and rear, removed the glue, used 3/4 " wood all around and also put some additional bracing before putting front and rear back on the cabinet. I used high quality polyurethane glue and the cabinet is like a tank now.
  2. Thanks for quick response. My main amp is Emotiva XPA 2 which I run with Kenwood C2 preamp. For source I have Onkyo 7030 CD player for regular CDs and a Sony Blu-ray player for SACD. I mostly listen to alternative / progressive rock....Dire Straits, Police, REM, Pink Floyd, A-ha... I did some more testing and realize that the Midrange horns on these speakers are overwhelming and I I mellow the mid range down and increase the volume the speaker sounds around twice as better but not as good as RTA. I'll check on CF4. yes I ve heard La scala and Khorns and both of them are amazing but out of my budget.
  3. Just wanted to share my experience with these speakers. Your Opinion / thoughts........ For a long time Polk RTA 15T has been my primary speaker. RTA15T doesn't have large active woofer. It has four 6.5 inch active bass / mid-range driver with two 10" passive bass radiators. Overall I was very happy with these but, as with all of us, I wanted a better performing speaker especially on the lower frequencies (Bass). Thinking that the absence of a large active driver on RTA might be limiting bass performance, I thought of getting a speaker with large active woofer. I zeroed-in on Klipsch KLF 20 because I've heard lot of positives about these speakers and also like the look of it. I got these speakers few days back and spend close to 50 hours resorting it (bracing, cleaning, re-paint, inspection and testing). Put this to test and following were my observations when compared to Polk RTA 15T. I use ATM7 automatic speaker selector since I have one main system and several speakers connected to the system. 1) KFL20 is much louder at the same volume level. 2) KLF20, although has decent bass, lacks the punch and tightness of bass that Polk has especially lower frequency (20~40 Hz range) 3) KLF20 sounded woomy and dull although has better mid range performance than RTAs. 4) RTA15T sounds much cleaner and sweater. Has anyone else have any experience with these Klipsch speakers ? I have decide to let these speaker go and continue my search for better speaker.
