The volume levels and audio quality from all three drivers were out of sync. Based on my Heresy experiments, I think the ALK CSW-450 plus my new tweeters and mid drivers would give me the flexibility I need for experimentation.

Deang Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Based on your detailed descriptions regarding differences in connectors, I was hoping for a little bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... the tweeter and woofer music was a bit more recessed. The A55G/2 music was very forward. A lot like the loud kid in the class.

Output is reduced from 1 to 4kHz, where there is a small peak, while the K-55-X falls off pretty rapidly. I don't see anything there that would cause me to think the 55-G is "very forward", but everyone hears differently, and maybe that peak bugs him.

I haven't figured out what that chart means. I'll youtube it. However, my K-400s are wrapped in Kilmat, which definitely adds to their clarity. That may be a consideration with the boost in volume and clarity, which is definitely more pronounced with the A55G/2s. More experiments to follow.

jebartist Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I installed these Sunday and found they are more laid back than my original K-55M's. These along with the sMahl tweeters I installed basically ruined my Khorns. I'm returning them back to the original drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been claimed by several people that the k-55m has a higher sensitivity than the k-55v variants (1.5-2db) in fact Klipsch redesigned the crossovers after those drivers were implemented. I'm not sure what crossovers you're using but if you haven't updated them yet might want to consider a version that is more friendly to the new parts you have if you want to try and make them work.
