  1. PL EVO 400 integrated amp + Cornwall IV's = discovering music all over again. I'm streaming using the Amazon lossless HD service through Bluesound Node 2i. Led Zeppelin IV remastered last night - it was like the first time I ever heard the album. My first Klipsch KLF 20's from 1997 were a great investment at the time - but trading them in on the Cornwall's made it easier to justify this new amp. Perfect match.
     
    I'm using this with a home theater, Yamaha RX-A2020 AVR preouts to the PL. Using HT bypass, I first had a ground-loop problem. Used an iso-transformer on the DTV coax at the wall - and 100% cleaned up the low frequency buzz. Watched Hamilton last night, and it felt like we were in the audience. 
     
    Now I'll be researching a new sub - that can be used LFE for Home Theater from the Yamaha, and RCA from the PL for music. I'll watch for ideas here.

    This has me quite excited. My CWIV’s arrived a week and a half ago - and the Evo 300 is next!

  2. I’ve recently acquired my very first set of lascala’s (‘88) and have Crites updates on the way.  Is it ok to use 14 awg speaker wire w/ like connectors to replace the stock XO to driver cables - or should I use something else?  I don’t have a problem with them, but it seems logical to replace the stock versions if also updating the XO and tweeters.

    The back center cover is probably loose. Not uncommon on the K-55M. It can be super glued back in place. How to videos are on youtube. Tap on the cover and see if it rattles. Try to fix if so, nothing to lose trying. Just do not want to get any glue on voice coil. Been addressed here before as well. Google k-55-m rattle fix. Seems others have fixed with silicone. The video I saw years ago used super glue but it involves taking the driver apart. Either way should work.

    Yes, thank you. I fixed it and also tested the resistance while it was out (it was fine) but found the actual issue while putting it back into the speaker - bent crossover wiring connections.

    Measure it's resistance, and the resistance of the midrange on the other speaker. What is the resistance, are they both measuring the same? That's a starting point.

    Thanks - I took your advice and they’re both good. That said, I found the problem while reconnecting the one that had an issue to the crossover. Apparently, while moving them into my car after buying them, I bent the crossover connections on one speaker upward. These being new to me, I thought that’s just the way they were until I looked at the other speaker and they were flat/horizontal. When I put pressure on the connections I could recreate the sound and also fix it entirely. Anyway, new crossovers coming in soon and, in the meantime, they’re both working. Thanks.
