Here is a photo of the back side of the multi-channel power amp in the cabinet pictured above. It is for the Tri-amped Klipschorns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Marti subs, with built in speaker inserts. he calls them the JuggerNogs. Nice! That got me interested in the Ultimax 18" subwoofer drivers, so I bought a pair last week. The Ultimax's work really good in my big JBL cabinets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 The high X-max subwoofers probably benefit from a serious break-in session, but I did not want to be in the house during that simulated earthquake. So I turned them up and hopped on my bike for a good long ride around the neighborhood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 The original subwoofer pair above the Klipschorns were boosted +6db @25hz and hi-passed @20hz according to JBL recommendation, and put out solid bass down to 22hz. Now with the Ultimax 18 drivers in the same 8 cu.ft. ported cabs and an 18hz hi-pass filter, the response is powerful down to 18hz. It is a noticeable improvement. I think it is a good idea to hi-pass all subwoofers, so they are not wasting energy on sub-sonic signals outside of their useful frequency response.

Khornukopia Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have the privilege of seeing 100 different shows a year and it is easy to say that this Pink Floyd tribute band is very impressive, musically and visually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 The bi-amped garage speakers get new mid horns. 22" X 10" TE-8180 from Parts Express. The 1" throat is threaded to accept the K-55 screw-in driver. The midrange output is about one decibel quieter with this horn. These horns sound a little "softer", which makes the bass seem to be more powerful. I like it. That is a storage shelf above the speaker, not the garage ceiling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Installed a Marantz 7055 power amp for the bi-amped garage speakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I had the same amp and loved it. Had the preamp HT receiver with itA few people said things about the power not being what Marantz advertisedBut I think it was pretty much on mark with the power they stated. Had super nice mid range and highs though my H1’s and KL-102’s. And runs pretty cool for a large amp with so many channels in one caseDollar for dollar Klipsch has no equals Name one other speaker company that can build a speaker and keep working like new after 45 plus years of service. Answer NO ONE !!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 When I first thought of putting the K-horns in the garage last year, the corners were packed with garden tools, sports equipment and boxes of old stuff. The place is starting to shape up. The open space under the speaker does not follow the "rules", but this stereo with NO subwoofer has very powerful bass response. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Interesting how the sound of the speakers changes when the door is open, if the room is part empty, or when I park my car in the middle of the room. It has a nice balance to it when the door is shut and the car is inside. Fortunate, because that is the usual arrangement when I go out there and turn on the stereo for a quick listen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 When you have a great sounding system, it is so easy to want to stay home and just listen to one more song after another. So, I buy show tickets that get me going out and listening to music in other rooms. The comparisons between home audio and the variety of live performances are interesting and the entertainment is so much fun to experience.

MEH Synergy Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I have enjoyed checking out your thread here. Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to up my garage game 😂. I'm envious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Getting the other corner straightened up. Removed the big shelves above the K-horns since I won't be putting La Scalas up there again. Bought a bunch of used heavy-duty file cabinets to store tools in.
