mother's corpse Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I am wondering why the falloff if the tweeters are rated up to 25khz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Inflated specs.......never seen that before make sure there isn't anything going on with EQ from receiver at all. What kind of gear are you working with. I know audyssey in stock form cuts down the highs quite a bit. I find myself changing mine from reference to flat soon as calibration is done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No EQ at all, i reset the AVR to stock and have only one speaker attached and the response is pretty much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 do both speakers measure the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 well then i would say the specs were inflated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mother's corpse Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 well then i would say the specs were inflated I'd be interested in seeing others with the same speaker measure their tweeter because idk if this could really be true, its just too insane. Also I had a problem a few months back with one speaker sounding louder it was said it was my room since the speaker measured flat together with all inputs, now I have this weird problem but it's both fronts and center measuring the same... I'm freaking lost here.Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'm fresh out of reference premieres. i have a friend with some that lives a couple miles from me. who knows when i could get over there to measure though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can get any official word from Klipsch or some graph to compare it to directly from them so I know I am within the realistic real-world spec of these tweeters and not what's written on a spec sheet.Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 We can't hear at 25 kHz anyway? It may be some wierd way they measure the speaker. Anyway, that's why I audition the speakers and don't go by spec's alone. The real question is how satified are you with your purchase? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Is your microphone calibrated properly and are you using the right angle? Unless you know it's calibrated and loaded the right file and are using the right angle, I'm not sure I'd trust high frequency graphs much. I'm surprised it is that flat inside a room with no EQ, you should still be getting reflections of some sort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to use my gear tonight to check. I will post tomorrow as well since I have a pair of RP-280f. Thanks to Scrappy for looking into this as well. Hopefully it's just a single thing, not trying to be rude MrGrey. Hope you can get it sorted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 same result here: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/89-speakers/2012897-klipsch-rp-280f-tower-speakers-official-avs-forum-review.html not so much here on the towers, but the center and surrounds did roll off in the same way: http://hometheaterreview.com/klipsch-rp-280fa-tower-speaker-reviewed/?page=2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the second one is the atmos version of the towers so idk if that matters. I'm surprised it is that flat inside a room with no EQ, you should still be getting reflections of some sort. Yes I am using the UMIK-1 Mic with the right calibration file since I am point the mic inches away from tweeter.Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you can get it sortedI did it exactly how it's supposed to be done with the right calibration file and mic, even did it again today to make sure nothing is wrong and the Towers and center have the same response. Pretty strange because I've never seen this.Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 What I meant by angle is if you get a calibrated UMIK from Cross-Spectrum, they measure it at 0 degrees, 45, and 90. You have to use the right file based on which way it is pointing, there's actually six that are supplied. I would assume that it could roll off up high if you didn't.
