jacksonbart Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I don't find the Tangent models to have a very direct sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Dang, Sounds like that could be a blown diaphram. Let other's chime in here. thinking it is a phenolic type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheric Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Well got the tangents home and one of the mid horns is ccrackling/popping and very dull sounding, how and what do i replace it with? Where are you located? May be someone can help you with their extra parts (to test it out). Edited April 10, 2014 by cheric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeker Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 switch the 2 midranges to see if its possibly the crossover then report back...i have more but switching is always 1st and easy test. take your time some of those wires can get pulled off the connections since the wires are so short. make sure pos and neg leads are correctly attached of course 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeker Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 He switched the horns and they both did the same thing thus meaning it is the crossover(crossover was the issue). problem solved...New networks and titanium coming soon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducks75 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 As beeker said wheni switched the midrs same result with both so that leads me to believe crossover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapface Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ducks75 is a great guy! Me and my son headed out to ducks75 place and I had a chance to hear the upgraded T-5000's last week. We had a great 2 hour listening session trying out to all kinds to music from Bagpipes to Dubstep. This was my first opportunity to hear a Klipsch 3-way so I did not know what to expect. They are configured in a 2 channel configuration and I must say they do sound great. The sound they produce is very detailed and reveal everything the recording has to offer. Good recordings sound fantastic! Not so good recordings reveal just that. They produce good bass and have a balanced sound. At the request of Ducks75 I brought with me a recently restored tube amp out with me so we could compare the sound with his solid state amp. The tube amp, in my opinion, improved the sound quality. A bit warmer, but still revealing, more bass and perhaps a bit less edge to the music. Thanks Ducks75 for inviting us out! We had a great time! Nice upgrade to the speakers!!
