    Klipschorn - Possibly blown tweeter, midrange diaphragm

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    I recently acquired some 90s klipschorns. When I set them up ( I had it powered with an NAD C700), my current la scala's sounded a lot better than them.

    So I hooked them up to my monolith 7x200. Sound improved but the klipschorn still sounds like its trapped in the box.

    Turning up the volume definitely helps - it sounds better at high volumes. However, at these high volumes, there's a hissing sound coming from the midrange horn.

    You don't hear it from the front (obviously) but if you're behind the speaker, you can hear it. I also don't think there's any sound coming from the tweeters. 

    How do I fix this? Should I be looking for replacement parts? Where do I find them? Totally noob. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

     

    KLF C7 vs Academy

    I've had a few Academy's early on never impressed with them. The C7 was better but I thought the KV-4 was the best match for my Chorus II's and used one for some time quite happily, bigger voice / sound than the C7. Eventually curiosity got the best of me and I tried the RC-7-- there was no going back after that for me, spent several years with at least one in the house, even after trying the 64 & 64-II, I preferred the RC-7. 

    Interesting. I have seen others that preferred the c7 to the kv4.

    I tried an Academy with my Heresys.  Just couldn't get used to the sound.  Now with Heresys for LCR and surround, I'm finally very happy.

     

    I have heard from others that they prefer the C7 over the Academy.  The larger horn certainly helps.

    I have 4 heresy’s (a pair each of the 1 and 2) . I run the 2s with a heresy 1 as center and thought it was okay but I wanted a smaller center so I could use my tv stand. I had the academy paired with the heresy 1s and thought that sounded really good too. Tbh, I didn’t think I was missing that much with the academy instead of the 3 heresy LCR. 
     

    EDIT: I haven’t tried the C7 with the heresy.

    Over the last year, I’ve collected a number of heritage speakers (heresy, CW, CH, Forte and the KLF). Always managed to find an academy and a C7. 
    I got the C7 for the KLF and the academy for the heritage (and extended heritage speakers). Most of my speakers are oak/walnut aside my chorus. So for aesthetics, I used the C7 with the Chorus. 
    I was pleasantly surprised. To my ears, the C7 sounds blends in so much better with my chorus. Dialogue is clearer. Sound is fuller. It just seems to pair better with the chorus.

    I’m curious what other peoples experiences are. 
    if it matters, I’m running a 5.1 (with heresy surrounds)

    The RF7 III is an awesome speaker  ,and so is the KLF-30   ,  Moneywise , the KLF-30 wins hand down ,  and if the speakers are in great condition , even better

    Thanks. 
    If we were to take money out of the equation, which one is better?

    Please explain the tweeter and midrange horns to me

    Welcome Trikxx!

    The tweeter would normally be playing frequencies that are 6kHz and up. Depending on the music, there isn't much information there, and it usually drop off more the higher you go.

     

    You can try playing some music with really high frequencies (cymbals, etc.) and listen through a paper towel tube up to the tweeter. Stuff a sock or towel in the mid horn to block what is coming out of it. If you are already hearing hiss from both tweeters, I think they are probably working.

    Thanks, Bruce. I tried it with some high frequency music. It’s working.

    Thanks everyone for the help.
