IF your CD list is in your Mom's or Dad's handwriting I'd frame them. Save them cause we all know he's grinning big time right now. That system better not go anywhere either cause we're allllll watching now! hahaha Klipsch posters? Good luck! Play nice in the sandbox w/friends and watch 'em grin. That's half the fun of running Klipsch. Blows them AWAY! Just keep on truckin son! Lyrics always seem to fit and resonate. hahaha For sure definitely going to frame it one day but for now are use it for the CDs so I put It in this clear sleeve To preserve it For as long as I can 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious and wondering if there was anything out there Folks will modify anything and everything. My friendly advice is to spend some time with what you have. Sure, go ahead and tweak the speaker placement (distances form walls, listener chair, and toe-in). This can be a tedious task since you need to be systematic about it and listen to the same few tracks over and over again. It will easily take several weekends given all the variables and combinations. However you will discover the bass response, imaging etc can dramatically change / improve. Get this adjusted to your liking and then just listen and enjoy, listen and enjoy, listen ...... Save the "upgrades" for another time. Good luck, -Tom 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue (among other things) with KLF-30's is the cabinets. If the front and back baffles are not sealed air tight, they will leak away bass making the speakers sound thin and nasty. The other main issue is the original crossovers will fail for one reason or another after a while. Mine acted up at about the 17 year old mark. Another common issue is that the mid drivers might be hooked up out of phase. There seemed to be some confusion identifying which was positive and which was negative. In my experience if they're out of phase, soundstage and imaging will suffer. It's pretty easy to identify if you listen in an established sweet spot. If and when everything is working properly, you're good to go. As far as replacing stock/original components with aftermarket offerings, refer to the 'Ultimate KLF-30 Upgrades' thread. I've gone this route and had the luxury of owning two pairs of KLF-30's so I was able to compare an upgraded pair of 30's to an original pair every step of the way. All of the upgraded components were completely worthwhile in my experience. It's been (I think) two years now with no issues and the speakers sound amazing. I tried most if not all of the free/cheap tweaks and heard zero benefit from any of them. Good Luck!
