geezin'

OK your point is understood. I'll not stay where I'm not wanted. Bye.

This has all been hashed out before...repeatedly. Why waste time doing it again for the same results?

Didn't bother with measurements as I was looking for something visible. Did not remove as I can get a pretty good look at them by removing the bottom. Looked but specs aren't easy to find. Did read somewhere they used the K-1002k from the KG 3.2/3.5 in later versions. Maybe I'll remove them and inspect later this week. Not all music does it. And I can always turn it down for now.

OK an issue arose when I used the room EQ in my WIiM mini. As expected it boosted the bass considerably...to the tune of +10dB @44.0 Hz. Now the subs buzz at moderate (about 75--80 dB) volume. Removed the base cover tightened everything up and played some Bela Fleck with it open. It's the drivers themselves buzzing. They don't do it all the time..just on a fast attack like the pluck of a low bass string then stop and only very low end stuff. If I turn it down it will stop. Only way I could stop it would be to dampen the cone by touching it. BTW they're original still K-1004 8 inch drivers. However I'm OK with another brand of driver 'cause I bet Klipsch doesn't make this one anymore. I like the sound with it corrected so any advice on the buzz?

Nah way too early to say that.

I believe the bear is being told what to do. Kvetching does nothing. But you do you. I see what that's brought about.

Poking the bear with a stick is rarely the best approach...ok?

And you felt a deep seated need to call attention to it? OK.

Yes. Poor source is magnified. I have a disc I cannot listen to anymore it sounds so bad.

After my previous post I picked up my phone and went into the WiiM app. Never realized there was a room correction section. Took a look and it's automatic. So I ran through the steps. Currently the living room consists of my Fisher 440T/Schiit Modi 3+/WIiM mini and '79 Heresy 1. Oh yeah forgot to mention I run a Klipsch KG SW passive sub. Speakers are OEM excepting the recapped crossovers by DeanG. I am impressed at the increase in everything. Tone range soundstage clarity depth all improved considerably. OK measurement gurus I get it now. Damn...

I run a Topping PA3s class D/Schiit Saga S preamp/Schiit Modi3+ DAC/WiiM mini/Heresy 1 in my rotation. I enjoy it. You'll be surprised what the money buys you. I run the preamp for the multiple sources and remote volume control. Just turn the amp to max and leave it there. The WIiM software provides 10 band graphic as well as parametric EQ. I haven't clue how to use the parametric so....

dayum...prices are up a bit.

I barely got to know Dave before he left us. Unfortunate.

A few forums of various subject matter I participate in are near silent lately. Hard times here at home for all of us. Don't walk away just yet.

Re-read of Guns of Avalon by Roger Zelazny. Actually going through the whole series again. Need a distraction from all the negative buzz going on.

1978?

Recapping the crossovers shouldn't be that expensive. I'd start by loosening then retightening all the connections. As they age corrosion can cause issues. Check all the basics before assuming expensive parts replacement. Search around the forum for answers a bit.

Yeah it's been really sporadic to be kind. Are the new owners going to let it die? That would be most unfortunate.

Shaggy on patrol.

I had Dean recap mine. Left binding posts OEM and made cables with eyes on speaker end. Used to build motorcycles for a living and prefer a clean look as well as original equipment when possible unless there's a problem.

Thinly veiled unprovoked insults are uncalled for. I'll be clear. F uck You.

His post is relevant.

Do not buy a cheap bluetooth adaptor. I have one and the sound quality is awful compared to my WiiM Mini. I have '79 Heresy I used with a '65 Fisher 440T and it sounded great using the WiiM.
