SWL Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Got the new A-55G's today and I've had them installed for about 30 minutes of listening so far. Initial impressions are good....but different. It now sounds like I have a much larger and more defined midrange that is for sure. This puts the KLF-30 sound much closer to the Heritage sound. It is gonna take some getting used to on my part because I'm generally not a fan of the Heritage sound for the most part.More to come...Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Someone else commented that after installing these in some KLF-20's that the midrange was recessed. I'm hearing the opposite. The mids are huge and clean.For the first time I'm hearing first hand what it means to 'live in the midrange'. This is different for me but I'm liking it. It is not 'forward' midrange and it is not taking anything away from the bass.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Another description of these was that they made the sound "more open and natural". I would say that description is right on but I would also add 'more detailed'.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Cool. I'd like to try a similar driver for the tweeters in my 30's but didn't see anything on his site.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwgorman Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm absolutely floored by mine. Can't recommend them strongly enough. I thought there was something inherently wrong with the K400 and maybe at a SPL point there is, but for listening in my living room, they totally redeemed that horn in my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 With the rave review these should be flying off the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 As good as these mid drivers are the biggest improvement for my speakers were the new tweeters, the CT-120's. I cannot say enough good things about either of these products from Bob Crites, well worth the time and money spent IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
