Confirmed with Crites that these speakers should ~98db efficient. Replaced caps and tweeters from Crites. Paired them with a 20wpc Schiit Aegir and Freya +. with volume set to 3 o clock position, I’m getting peaks of about 98db using a decibel meter on my phone. Does this sound like the speakers are functioning properly? maybe I’m missing something but I keep reading on here about people who power their vintage Klipsch with very low power thanks to the sensitivity. is it expected that I would have to crank a 20w amp? (please take it easy on me, I’m still trying figure this all out)

Metal feet on bottom on 1983 Cornwalls?
jason.justice replied to jason.justice's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
that's exactly what they are but i have no riser. mine are not decorator series. i will leave them thank you! -
I can't get a picture right now but wanted to ask. My pair of 1983 Cornwall 1.5s have round metal feet on the bottom. There is no riser. Is this stock? I'm assuming the previous owner added them and I can remove.

I can't imagine we did anything wrong. My friend that helped builds speakers and components and he followed the Crites schematic. Is there any reason why these speakers would need more volume from my rega? bad pairing between amp and speaker? -

Hi everyone. I'm going to keep my questions in this same thread as the topic still applies. Over the weekend I replaced the a bad tweeter and did the recap of my CW 1.5s. We hooked them up to my current integrated, a Rega Brio which is class a/b (I think) and 50 WPC. Now, I usually run that amp with a pair of Polk RTI-A3 (89db sens. / 8 ohm). With those bookshelves I hardly ever turn the knob past 9oclock. With the much more sensitive Cornwalls, I actually to turn the knob to 10 or higher to get enough volume. I will say that I think this amp is not a good match as it just didn't sound great. Very cold. Any thoughts on this? I was thinking I wouldn't have to turn up the volume as much with the CWs. -
Thanks BB!

I believe these are from 1973 but I don't recognize the finish code: "DR" Designers Rosewood? What is the "15"? TIA

this 801 has more options than i need. i'm not interested in a dac, blue tooth or internal phono stage. -
anyone on this thread using a single aegir in a large size room with high efficiency speakers? i'm trying decide if single is enough for large room application.

Does anyone know the impedance rating for the k-55h? I’d like to test mine to confirm they are within spec. -

I have this same configuration of CWs. Does anyone know the specs for the K-52-H? I want to test them to ensure they are within range. -

yep i get it. i'm just trying to get sense of what i need knowing that the room will constantly be changing. i'm leaning toward get 1 Schiit Aegir and if it's not enough stepping up to 2. -

with your CW and 20W amp how far are you turning that up in your room? -

Pairing solid state amp with Cornwalls
jason.justice replied to jason.justice's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
here's where i'm getting stuck. i understand that CW are highly efficient and can/will sound great with low watts. however i'm assuming those using low power are in small rooms. if i'm in a big room, say the size of a small restaurant, i'm assuming i will need more power than 20W. thoughts? -
