Tremors Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Wow, I have never seen someone use Dean's crossovers in the Synergy line. What are your thoughts on the outcome? Have you done this on any reference or heritage, for comparison sake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebuy Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 The Synergy are the Only Klipsch Speakers I have owned. Dean was very nice in upgrading the Very Cheap Crossovers Klipsch used. In all fairness to Klipsch--Their parts are not any worse than some other speaker builders like Infinity use use 5 cent capacitors to save on cost. Dean upgraded me with Mills resistors and Dayton 1% Polypropylene Caps. I didn't notice--that much of a difference at first--and I was allowing for cap burn in and a chance to break these parts in. The horn driver in a Synergy and probably the Best Buy Klipsch Speakers---are a 1 inch dome driver--mated to the horn. The Klipsch LTS 1 Inch dome driver was not good enough to deliver the sound I wanted and when you tried to push the "high end sound---AKA--AIR" it became screechy and sharp. It really was unlistenable--to me. So I removed a horn from the cabinet--drove to Parts Express--and consulted with a guy and we looked at all sorts of horn drivers and horn lenses that I might have used. My horn lense is about 4&3/16 inch square and so if I were to use a "Real Compression Driver" 4 inches was the limit for the circumfrence of any driver. Weight was the other factor because PE did not have any Horns that would fit the Synergy without mods to the cabinets. Also the cheaper Horn material Klipsch uses for the Synergy was a factor--would it support the weight of a real compression driver? I ended up buying an Eminence 1" HF Titanium Horn Driver Let me tell you--My Synergy's sound Great. With Dean's upgrade and the new horn drivers--These couldn't sound any better.
