FS--3 tweeters for Synergy


rebuy

Recommended Posts

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.
