mace Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Hi, A while back someone here (I thought Ray or Gil) stated they had freq. response curves for 'other' Klipsch speakers 'at work on the computer' when he posted the curves for the Belle, K-Horn and LaScala. I'm interested in getting a copy of the KLF-30 and Cornwall '77 curves. If anyone has 'em I'd be very grateful to receive a copy at mace@mac.com. Thanks in advance, Mace PS Trey stated Klipsch won't give these curves out, I asked him first. Although he did offer to set up a pair of each and let me listen, which was cool.

Ray Garrison Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Hi there. I have response curves for the Klipschorn, La Scala, Belle, Heresy II, Cornwall II, Chorus, Forte, KG2 and KG4. *** NOTE *** I do NOT know the circumstances under which these curves were taken. The original spec sheet was published by Klipsch, so they are "official", but whether anechoic chamber (doubtful), in room, what kind of room, measuring distance, SPL level, etc. I have no idea. Rather than upload them to the Klipsch server, I stuck them out on my server in a website which is under construction. Let me know if you have any trouble accessing them.

jazman Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Ray, I also can't get to the pages with the curves. The site; http://www.topofthecatch.com, I can find. The path to the files I think is the problem. Klipsch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 oops, sorry... forgot the domain was being hosted by someone external to my network while I set stuff up... the topofthecatch website I link to worked fine...

Chris Robinson Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Ray, couldn't help but notice the domain name ... is the company you used to work for? Or perhaps a new one, Phoenix-like? Hope the latter, and that things are coming together again. Share any good news.

Ray Garrison Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I have to take a page from Mystery Guest and her significant other... I'm not gonna assume things will continue to move forward until the degree of forwardness achieved seems to indicate any possible backwardness is of limited probability. ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Ray's Music System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 I don't have anything on the KLF. Search the internet for the site of the Belgium Audio Society review of the Cornwall. Comprehensive and probably less biased than the Klipsch spec sheet. They like it a lot, as do most. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mace Posted April 14, 2002 Author Share Posted April 14, 2002 Ray, Thanks for the curves! I've attached a view of my speakers and the corresponding response curves generated from the "sweet spot" using my rat shack spl meter. What's interesting is the curves really show what I'm hearing. The Cornwalls have a lot of body, maybe a little to much 'tonk" (sort of a rounded, colored sound) at times and the 30's have 'transparant' bass, which kicks in again at low end and the 30's are just plain brighter, at times harsh. Anyway, I haven't had time to compare the published curves which Ray provided to these, and Trey won't provide KLF-30 curve. (?) I'm going to do some more fidding with different placements, and check the response of them both together, as well as test my old Boston T-930's. PS Can any one ID the crossovers on the cornwalls? Are they the 6 dB/octave ones? Thanks again for the info. Mace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschguy Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Mace, You're crossovers are B Networks with 6dB/octave slopes from the crossovers. Don't forget the horns have intrinsic roll offs of their own, so your actual slopes will be steeper. In fact, the high frequency output of the squawker is basically not afffected by the crossover. The high frequency roll off of the squawker horn is acomplished by the horn itself. ALK's crossovers do roll off the high frequency of the mids. Also, by looking at these response curves with their common peaks and valleys, it appears the response of these speakers are being strongly affected by the room itself (unavoidable, some rooms more than others). Still, not bad in room response. Andy This message has been edited by Klipschguy on 04-14-2002 at 03:27 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Mace - I like the remote control you have on the coffee table in the first picture. Is that the new color model of the Pronto? Doug ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
