I'll post my thoughts later this week. Mark 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm with everybody else, I want your listening impressions, NOW! I can't wait until the end of the week, I'm too curious. +++ Will you be making the change of only the G's? I recently added a SEOS waveguide to replace the tweeter in a Khorn. When I made that single change on just the right-side speaker I could not hear much difference, I think because the L/R added to each other sonically and blended. I could a big difference after I added both new tweeters. When I added the A/4500 XO to replace the stock, smooth sounding Type AA the Khorn really came alive, especially at mid-level and high SPL. The Khorn went from rather pedestrian sounding IMO to Wow!. Are your LS XO's already updated or are you using the stock XO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 is just sitting back and listening to your favorite cd that you know well the best way to go or are their other things to do. #1 - maybe put a new one in the left and leave the old one in the right # 2 - rat shack meter 3 ft away and take some readings # 3 - alcohol - like this one the best. listen @ Margarita Happy Hour from Crites website A-55G - $330 + $14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincymat Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Ok gentlemen, chill just a little. I spent some time assembling a custom speaker testing play list and am all the way through the one damn song. I'll report back as I make progress. Want to get used to the new sound then I'll switch drivers to the K55V dual phase plug and listen to the playlist again. Then I'll change one driver and switch back and forth using my monoblocks to select speakers. My equipment is in my profile. Using ALK steep slope Xovers, ES500 and ES5800 (I think those are the correct part numbers). The squawker horns are Fastlane La Scala. First impression is the A55's seem smoother and clearer at all volume levels. Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know it's not very accurate but it's what I got #3 - alcohol - having a nice Chardonnay Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincymat Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 My first thoughts after a couple of hours listening, the A55G's are more detailed in a way that separates sounds more distinctly. I think I'm hearing instruments and vocals in their entirety, not mixed together on their edges. The width and depth of the stereo image are both bigger. Something that is very noticeable in my room. Hope that makes sense. I'm not the most articulate person... Ask questions, maybe that will help me describe what I'm hearing.

A friend of mine bought two sets....for KLF -30'S and Cornwalls. He said the improvement in the Corns was minimal compared to the improvement in the 30's.
