garyrc Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Welcome to the forums! Are you not happy with the sound as they are placed? You say you are getting very good base response but you are posting and asking for suggestions. So I'm not sure (and I'm sure others will feel the same) what you are asking? Thanks Steve. I am happy but a bit of a perfectionist. The insight I received from Max2 may up the performance to another level. Also by showing a picture of their placement other members with similar placement may be able to offer some insight. Ahh a perfectionist! Then you'll want to rip down that wall molding, move that radiator and raise that ceiling (if 8 foot) and get those speakers tight against the corners and walls. But you knew that already. I am envious of the width and the length of the room you have them in. Can I ask what year those are? Perhaps they could benefit from a capacitor replacement? Anything more than about 20 years and those caps are drying out. How loud do you listen? Some of the networks that the guys make on here might be something to look into depending on your listening levels (extreme slope) and what you thing needs to be changed - such as too much midrange or treble, etc.... carpeting in front of the speakers helps to absorb some of the higher frequencies. Long story short you've come to the right place if you want suggestions about how to make your Klipschorns sound as good as they were made to sound. Everyone on this site is extremely helpful and very pleasant to deal with. Hi Steve! The ceilings are high...12 feet...sunken drawing room. The Klipschorns serial numbers are 1B912 making them 1963. The original crossovers are in a box. The new crossovers are ALK Klipsch duplicates. The speakers have received a gentle restoration so they are very original and sound magnificent. All the original stickers are still in place as well. They replace vintage Bozak B4000 Symphony speakers that have gone out for restoration. The amp is a McIntosh MC2105 ,preamp McIntosh C22, tuner is a MR71, Turn table is a Thorens TD320 and the CD player a Simaudio Moon Nova. The advice and generosity here is great. Best, André What is the subjective difference in sound between the Bozaks and the Klipschorns? I think the frequency at which Khorns are attenuated if the corner seal is not good is somerewhere arloud 200 - 250 Hz, rather than lower. My Khorns, well sealed, in my current room are great to 35 Hz, good to 30 Hz, and still very softly make sound at 24 Hz. In the past, they were in a smaller room, where they were good to 31.5 Hz.
