Marvel Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Well, that was always my intent. I didn't do that on these, but I have a second pair (one is a clone), that I am still working on. I've opened up the doghouse into the top, and will enclose the backs. I have all the guts for them at this point, but still have to do a bunch of work on them. Money's been a little tight, and we just moved to a new house. Now we have to fix a few things. Seems like I've been pushing the bass mod for a long time without doing it myself. Hopefully, it will get done before summer. Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Bruce I thought I remembered you trying the ported riser? Ported riser? Is that passive &/or reversible? I'd like to get the horns to EAR level, & get more BASS, too. If anyone has a thread to point me to... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Thought I had seen photos of yours Bruce. Maybe it was someone else in a thread on the risers. Nice looking speakers by the way. Sancho....the mod I'm thinking about is passive and reversible and adds a little height to the LS. It resembles a small platform the same size as the LS bass bin foot print but maybe 6-8" tall and has pvc tubes the length of the platform. Bruce can probably tell you more and maybe even come up with the thread. Hope so as I am considering it as well.

Sancho Panza Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Bruce nice pics; I still think they are U-G-L-Y, but the ones with factory top grilles are not 2 baggers & the feel (sound) like Miss America with my eyes closed, LoL! ;-) Now I saw a pic of a set with a full grille over at Audiokarma: WoW!

Sancho Panza Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Good thing is they can all sleep through an Artillery Barrage, so I can listen at almost any level I want, once they go to bed; thought about headphones, but said what for? Helps that my den is about 3 feet below the rest of the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the link bb. That's not the one I was thinking of. A much simpler mod involving a separate box riser with pvc tubing rings a bell. IMHO I do think LS bass may be underrated however. I have the 1" cabs though. If you can find a copy.......listen to Saxophone Colossus by Sonny Rollins with Tommy Flanagan, Doug Watkins, and Max Roach and try to wipe that smile off before you start typing your impressions. Yes I know what the specs say but my ears like what I hear. Many albums are recorded without much bass....not this one.

Sancho Panza Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 After running Audyssey, my Denon 3312 set the XO @ 40 & Small. What I'd like to do to Stephanie Abrams that! Set ALL my Speakers to LARGE, left XOs as measured, LFE+Main. With those settings in 2.2 or 2.0, find the Musical Bass surprisingly good.

Marvel Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Here a link to the drawing I made. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=36020 The entie thread... https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/91448-la-scala-bass-mod-again/#entry993324 DJK came up with this idea. Pretty much the same size as the top section of an LS. If you like the way it works you can enclose the back of a standard LS, open up the doghouse, and put the ports on the back side. This is totally reversible. It is passive, although you can add a small filter in between the preamp and power amp, to help even more. I'm doing that to a second pair of cabs I got a couple of years ago (my projects move very slowly! ).
