levimorenos Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Dear Sirs, I live in Italy and I own a pair of Forté II, a pair of Heresy II and a central Academy + Sub Energy ESP 150. I was happy when I lived in a small appartment, but know I live in a wider one, and I have a Rotel Home-Theater combination: Amplifier RB985 + RB 976 MKII + Processor RSP 985 + DVD Rotel RVD985. What I ask you is: Tweeter and Midrange of my Forte II and Heresy II are clearly fantastic, the woofers are very hard and to make them work I have to increse Decibells, I cannot put volume very high, so when I play a cd I feel something missing in the music... all the basses seem like suffcated, I know FortéII and HeresyII are quite hard speakers, but I really miss something... I also have divided the back cable (see photo attached) behind the speaker into two cables (tweeter and midrange together) and woofer alone in the other amplifier... But it didn't changed much the situation. I wanted to switch to Reference Serie RF-5 or RF-7 for the front speakers, but before doing this I would like to know if is possible to modify the sound... If is could you please tell me what to do? Do I Have to change woofer or board inside the speaker? Thank you for your kind answer. A Klipsch estimator!

Istari Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 It sounds like the speakers (woofers) are out of phase. Try reversing the polarity on one of the speakers and see if it makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmyforte Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 try the polarity first, if thats not it then its your room. your going to have to play with the placement of the speakers until you get it dialed in. if you haven't already place them in the corners then move out from there until its pleasing yo you. the bass will be at its highest in a corner. also walk around the room, you may have a "whole" in your room right where you sit.

levimorenos Posted October 19, 2003 Author Share Posted October 19, 2003 Thanks for your help, but I guess I did the right polarity: I checked many times... Both the two woofers move, the rear passive also, the speakers are 20 cm away from the wall near the corner of the house. I will check again!!!

levimorenos Posted October 19, 2003 Author Share Posted October 19, 2003 Thanks you both!!! It was a problem of polarity, they sound much better!!!
