  1. Try a multi band equalizer, 21 band for example, something with a plus or minus 12 db adjustment, or more. Usually the lower frequencies can be attenuated and the frequencies that are most associated with voice intelligibility can be boosted . Every one’s needs are different so experimenting is important . Another thing to try is running a dialogue channel ,( center channel) adjust it a fair amount louder than usual as the other channels tend to drown out the dialogue for those with hearing trouble.
  2. Maybe you could run a trim board along the entire horizontal soffit, space the board out just a bit to give room for the flat wire stapled /tucked behind . Good luck
  3. It’s a hobby , it should be fun , so take your time . You’ve started out with a really great set of speakers, so play around with them for a while ,experiment with positioning , etc . Then move on to your next step , whatever that may be . Most any decent electronics will play remarkably well . You really don’t need to spend a fortune at this point ,or maybe ever . There is a lot to learn if you want , and this can be a very rewarding part of the hobby experience. Spread out the acquisition of new components for your system , as each new addition will reward you with a renewed interest in the hobby , my advice is to take your time , and carefully research all plans for improvement .
  4. It may be seizing up , they won’t last long if you forget to mix the oil with the gas.🤓

    Jokes?

    Oops , I asked the wife to tell me 5 things that she had accomplished around the house last week , and this is the attitude I get 🤷‍♂️
  6. Its probably not the speaker , it’s something in the room that is vibrating at it’s resonate frequency .
  7. To a large extent I agree , to my ears recorded music sounds full on a speaker that plays flat to 38hz , sure there is some recorded music that has a bit more to offer below this point but it gets harder to discern ,it does depend on the music being played , but 38hz isn’t bad . I’ve found that the biggest advantage to using a subwoofer for music , when matched to something like Forte , is that you can easily run the low frequency range a fair amount hotter than flat , and that’s what many people prefer . Some music can’t tolerate the boost , some music can . Bass tone controls unfortunately affect the sound all the way to the middle frequencies , limiting its usefulness.
  8. I’ve used Heresy II and Cornwall between my Khorns , and they sounded ok. The problem is that the center speaker that most closely matches the performance of the Klipschorn is the Lascala . I was never satisfied with the sound and the obvious compromise of not using the Lascala , so eventually I put one in at center. The difference in my situation was day and night , and worth the trouble.The Cornwall , while a good speaker is not in the same league as Klipschorn , playing these speakers together will not result in the best sound possible. Klipschorns with Lascala at center is about as good as it gets for a three channel front stage , I’d definitely wait and finish it off the right way , good luck .
  9. Hi Billybob, have a fantastic day 🤓
  10. Keep the Lascala’s , I’ve developed a sensitivity in my hearing also , for me it’s in the 2500hz range . You will find the problem will arise in all speakers that you listen to , and the severity will be very much volume dependent . The frequency response will be more or less the same in all good speakers , so there’s nothing to be gained by going to a Heresy . Find your problem frequency by playing test tones and attenuate that area by using equalization . Experiment with your tone control knobs on the beautiful 2270 , or set yourself up with an equalizer. Don’t give up on the Lascala , Yikes 🤓
  11. During times of panic or crisis , stabilizing economic forces can break down and cause serious problems . Of course the remedy for these problems aren’t without unintended consequences , but this is a blessing to the cynics that seem to find issue with anything imaginable.
  12. Price gouging isn’t a good way to fight panic buying.
  13. The purpose of a business is to make money , the price of a product is what the market will bear. Anything higher it won’t sell . In this case a great deal of effort has been made to insure that the product will be successful and will sell , there is no price gouging here . I consider it price gouging when a company tries to sell essential products or services for outlandish prices , under circumstances that fall outside the normal constraints of competition and economic law of supply and demand . Like conditions that may exist during a crisis , pandemic or war for example.
  14. The 2350 will provide a sharp picture but , will not give top tier black levels and shadow detail. In a dark room with a black ceiling dark floors and walls ,the higher level Epson Projectors show their strength , like the 5050ub or the 4010, they will provide noticeably better black/contrast quality . The 2350 projects a nice image but if deep black levels are your idea of quality you may not be completely satisfied.
  15. I know the value of scale and Im sure that the Jubilee shines on the subject of scale .Schu isn’t alone in his appreciation of this illusive quality in loudspeakers . It’s hard to find a good explanation of scale in speakers , I have my ideas , but I do know it when I hear it , and I like it . I think it’s a quality worth pursuing .
