70MM Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 How can I tame the highs on my KL-7800 in wall horns, the highs are too bright, I would like to tone them down a little without using the treble control. I'm using an Integra DTR 70.4, with all Klipsch in wall THX speakers 11.1 My bass is beautiful with four SVS PB13- Ultras. My three front KL-7800 are behind a scope 140" diag AT screen. The room is heavily treated for all reflections and really huge bass traps. The sound is amazing, but the three front horns are more shrill than I would like. Audyssey XT32 has done its magic on the bass, its smooth, cleaned and very refined, the horns just seem too bright! I saw a video in youtube to tame Klipsch horns, but surely there must be an easier way than this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqMk5mUhD3s My cinema is here. You will see the three KL-7800 in the build. http://www.rapalloav.co.nz/blog/rapallo-home-cinema-build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I almost bought (3) KS-7800-THX last week on sale but wanted to wait till I heard them , I was afraid of them being to bright also . It will be interesting what the outcome on this subject is . Hope you find a solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I don't have a solution for you but welcome to the forum and your theater looks incredible! Fantastic work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yeah rooms looks cool. Don't know if there is a way to tame then unless you wanna dig into the crossover. Not sure where your located either but maybe could get with deanG or another crossover mod guru. He could surely upgrade/tame the crossovers on there for sure. I haven't heard those models but I did own the kl-650 and never found them to be bright at all. In fact they were the most laid back of any klipsch speaker I've owned I think. I enjoyed them but wanted more. So now I have the big cinema stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 EQ them down with the treble control is the easiest way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 What about the ping pong ball mod I've heard Moray and dean talk about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
