Shakeydeal Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Any opinions on this midrange driver replacing the K55 in a klipschorn? Improvement or just something different? Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Strong improvement FOR ME in a vintage pair of klipschorns. Much smooth with dynamics that popped a lot more in a pleasant way. His tweeters? Not so much for me, I would keep the stock pair. Woofers I really like as well, but Def had tradeoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood. I am a first responder where I work and had EMT training years ago. I have several friends who are volunteer fireman. Even though you can be a jerk on this site sometimes, I still commend you for your service. And I take back the earlier comment. I have used the search function and actually didn't need any help in doing so. But I would still like to solicit comments from anyone who has experience with the A55.

Frzninvt Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 DeanG replaced the diaphrams in his solder terminal dual phase plug K-55V's and compared them to the A-55G's because it would not be fair to compare a new midrange to one with a 30 year old diaphragm in it. He did give the edge to the A-55G by a small margin. As already stated the "Search" function while far from ideal is your friend. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHall Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It seems like everyone that has bought them likes them. That can sometimes give a little bias. I’ve never heard of someone not liking them though, so that is good. Roy didn’t seem like it was a good idea with some turbulence with the different sizes.

avguytx Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I put a brand new pair of A-55's in the Belle's that I built and I thought they sounded awesome for the short time I actually got to listen to them. If I remember right, I never even listened to the K-55's before putting them in so I really can't give a comparison, per se, of the two so maybe my opinion doesn't carry as much validity. But the midrange and vocal quality was crazy good and very detailed to my ears. I wanted these to have all new drivers since they were all new speakers, in a respect. I'm using new K-33's, A-55's and CT120's for drivers and built a new set of AA crossovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, that search feature is NOT your friend. It is cumbersome and unless you use the EXACT right spelling you may not find the info you want. Try searching for "La Scala" some time. Or lascala. Or La Scalla. Or crossover, or cross over. You will get VERY different results. But most importantly you can start a new thread on an old subject because you want to. That's one of the privileges of being a Klipsch Forum member, if you sign in you can start a new topic. If a viewer has something to contribute then we all benefit from reading that fresh opinion, thanks to the new thread. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter how good you can spell, it's all predicated on how well the OP spelled your "key word" when their thread was started.

Thaddeus Smith Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I've got them in my La Scalas and enjoy them quite a lot. They're also mated with CT-120 tweeters and it's a really solid combination to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
