billybob Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Lots of laughs, suppose alot of Klipsch listeners are being turned on. My first listen was to the 30s.. You may be fortunate, glad you can say. Welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure,the Chorus were built a little better than the Legend, I loved them and hope to find in Italy another used pair to keep together with the KLF 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the italian internet markets the Cornwall II, which if I'm not mistaken were discontinued before the LEGEND series was introduced, cannot be found for less than 2400/2600 euros the pair but the klf 20 or klf 30 can be found for 1200/1300 euros the pair, really crazy as a dominant trend can influence the choices of audiophiles 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axellfoxy Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 However reading your forums I felt reassured, I thought I was deaf or crazy when I had the impression that the Legend were excellent speakers 😄😄😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absolve2525 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 My KLF30s and my buddy's KLF20s are solid with good bracing and no loose panels. I've read some version KLFs might need panels reglued. If yours are solid, then it sounds like you have a good pair. Enjoy! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right and I tried to put one but the sound seemed much less brilliant and I removed it maybe because the room is a tavern with very low ceilings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the grilles off, pull the away from the back and side walls and toe them in sharp pointed at outer ear to get that crispness you seem to prefer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can clap in the room and hear flutter echo, bad juju. I know in that room you will hear that. Let your ears get used to what things SHOULD sound like. Those speakers are rear Ported. If you like bright and crisp and are limited in placement, block one port in the rear at a time with a removable object such as a shirt towel or otherwise. Rear Ported Speakers are more fussy with placement. That and your room are fighting each other. With my legacy audio focus speakers, I blocked both rear ports with foam and much preferred it that way. Bass was INSANE without doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
