Klipschorns - Where's the Bass?


Slonomo

Recommended Posts

I connected my brand new (right out of the box) Klipschorns tonight (AK5) and there doesn't seem to be any bass from either speaker. There are correctly located in the room corners but all I'm hearing is the mid and tweeter. They are being powered by a Yaqin tube amp with no tone controls so nothing to adjust there. Wiring seemed to be very straight forward but something is not right. I will disconnect the mid and tweeter tomorrow to see if I'm getting any sound out of the woofer (it's late here) but it seems odd that both woofers are not working. Help.

Check to make sure your bi-wire / bi-amp jumpers are in place and connected properly if only using one amplifier.

 

Edit:  Caution...!!!!  These pictures I posted from the web to show the Bi-Wire/Bi-Amp Jumpers may have been taken with the Midrange and Tweeter wires connected incorrectly at the terminal panel based on observation of the yellow and green wires connections in these photos so verify which color of wires are on your drivers and their proper connection to the midrange and tweeter terminals of the connection plate.

Some people say horns sound honky.....  you have the perfect pair of speakers....  You have a pair of Khorns with NO honk!!!

 

Then again, I guess you want some honk.

 

These guys will get you up & honking soon enough!

 

Congrats on the new purchase.  Helps keep the factory folks employed verses buying used.

Slip the wires off the HF side of the speaker terminal plate that you have pictured, then you will just have power going to the low end.....I think anyway

Did that and the woofers are there. I feel a little better now.
