JohnA Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Found some dub step to loosen the woofers. LOL! That rear port will flat move some air! But can't hear any chuffing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 I do too! A friend said if I'd feed them red meat they'd grow into Cornwalls. They just make a mess with hamburger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 I'm gonna have to eat some of my words. After about 4 hours of Dubstep, 4 hours of blues rock and over night on an FM radio station, these new H IVs have more bass output. This afternoon they sound like the ones we heard in Hope, very clean, detailed and occasionally dark, maybe even a little bassy. Much cleaner/clearer than the H Is that were in the same spot for 2+ years. These are not my father's Heresies. As you'd expect the low bass is weak and I like the subwoofer turned on. Still, I think they could be quite satisfying without a subwoofer if they were put nearer to a corner. My instrument room doesn't allow that easily. I can't remember ever listening to the H Is without the sub, or wanting to. They actually throw a believable spatial image, too. My H Is never did. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 O.K. No more scoffing at break-in claims, at least regarding woofers. After several hours of heavy bass with the all the bass boost I could muster and then 3 days of quiet playing, there is a very noticeable improvement in their bass output. I also decided to move them around a little and got them closer to the walls. The low bass improved, so I would not hesitate to run these without a subwoofer. I'm very pleased. These H IVs are a credit to Klipsch and a fine tribute to Mr. Paul (and Roy 😉 ). They are very detailed. Cymbals are delicate and clean, voices and their breathing is distinct and realistic. Berry Oakley's bass notes on "The Allman Brother's Band" are clear and well defined and have the warmth we all wish our basses had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Something else I've noticed. I could always look at my H Is and know where each driver was, especially the tweeters. I cannot identify the location of any of the drivers in these H IVs. There is just a place where sound emanates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
