OO1 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 the RF 5000 has a titanium diaphragm, definitely try lowering the treble tone control , this should tame the metallic sound some . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Considering the numerous questions you've asked along this same line, maybe a different speaker brand is best for you. Not everyone likes Klipsch. I love them. But I'm not you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moh Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 I was hoping for all possible tweaks rather than spending on new speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 the RF 5000 you own , comes with Titanium diaphragms for the HF , Titanium is all brands ,so other speaker brands also sound metallic - you can lower the Treble /mids /HF tone controls , or EQ it lower on the HF if the metallic sound bothers you , one advantage of Titanium diaphragms is the durability /excellent sound with brass or metallic musical instruments , cymbals, etc the Heritage series have options of non-metallic diaphragms , and , the RF 5000 would sell very fast on the Garage Sale . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post a picture of your room and how they're set up. What receiver or amplifier are you using? What are you listening to, radio, CDs, streaming, etc?

Post your signal chain and room layout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moh Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 I have attaches the pic of the room. It is a 30ft long by 15 ft. Looks like the "eyes" is where the speakers are. The straight line "mouth like" is where the couch is. There is a bay window on left side. Receiver is Yamaha Rx-V485. Energy 10 inch sub is between TV stand and left speaker. The music us mostly from Youtube from telus TV box. The TV stand is between the 2 speakers . I have put Covid mask over the tweeter horn and it seems to have helped a bit and of course I have turned down trebble a bit. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Do you have curtains on the bay window? If not, that will help tone things down. YouTube is one of the worst sources for audio. Extremely compressed, worse than an MP3 a lot of times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcn3 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 and youtube from a cable box is even worse . . . you have to listen to a high quality source and a high quality amp to see how your speakers sound. sounds like you need to switch out each of your components and see which one is the culprit.

mark1101 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 You could have a mismatch between the Yamaha and the Klipsch. Some solid state equipment just sounds like crap with Klipsch. Ever try tubes? Softer driving electronics will change for the better. You could even give one of those low cost Class D amps from Parts Express a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
