Jim Cornell Posted June 27, 2001 Author Share Posted June 27, 2001 Storm, you to sound like you have a great system! Like the rotel, someday ill move up to rotel!

Hopefully we will be moving into a bigger place soon!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensilb Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 JIM --- I will certainly tell you if the dream come true. JMON --- AMEN. Are you a politician!!! What an excellent come back to what I think is on the verge of nonsense. STORM --- Seriously, I am not trying to insult you, but why are you here? Do you want advice? Are you interested in Klipsch? Are you innocently trying to find out why we are so into Klipsch? Are you passionate about your audio hobby? Or are you here just to stir things up? If you are here just to stir things up I am probably speaking for everyone here.go somewhere else. All are welcome here and opinions are what keeps this great Bulletin Board alive but we dont need rubbish posts insulting Klipsch without any actual reasons! Also, you mentioned reviews. I personally dont care about the opinion of some journalist but some do. Klipsch is a very respected name. They are know for their horns imitating live music for several years. I you want to see reviews from actual people who have really tried Klipsch, go to www.audioreview.com. Klipsch consistently scores very high marks. Just look at the thread for the RS-3s. Again, I am not writing this post to insult you. If I did, I am sorry. ------------------ Sony Trinitron 27" TV Yamaha RX-V1000 JVC HR-S3800 Super VHS VCR Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player Sony Tape Sony CDP-CE345 Cd player RF-3 Main Monster m1.4 Biwire Cables RC-3 Center SS-1 Rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DwK Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 I wouldnt mind owning a pair of ML's Put them right next to the couch. Since the sound Comes out both sides, it would fill the room. I think ML's would be better for someone who listend to Lighter/softer music. MABY some jazz.... JMon-Well said. Ya, you cant always trust what others tell you... I go to Hill Crest Hi fi, and I constantly see them leading people away fromt he Klipsch and to the Paradigm. Eh, Paradigm does make some good speakers, but... I like the sound of Klipsch. ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DwK Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 You wouldnt replace your cornwalls if you ran across a pair of K-Horns for 100 bucks, that worked... *** Small change to my Dream set up. Instead of any Klipsch Sub...... *I have found better*, I am going to have to go with 2 15 inch Veladynes on my system.... mmmmmmmmmm........ more bass than one person should be allowed....... ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted July 1, 2001 Author Share Posted July 1, 2001 These cornwalls, arent going anywhere, they are my pride and joy! Should hear the quintets, along with a set of cornwalls, with the amp turned down, and the quintets at normal power, sounds unreal! Good luck on your sub, they are nice!

DwK Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 LoL. You an your Quintets Glad your enjoying them. Still putting them in the car? Back on topic... HE's Putting Klipsch in the CAR! I actualy decided, that I want a sports car, with a small back seat, and in that back seat, will go 2 RB-5 like speakers. Or an SUV and put in two RF-7 like speakers. Replace the front speakers with ...

mace Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 Question for STORM: How much do the speakers cost which are recommended by the stereophile magazine which you were referring to?? To the original question: can you ever own enough Klipsch?? I'd have to say as long as you have to room to use 'em... own all you can!

HornEd Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 Okay, you asked for it, Boomer. There is no doubt about it, you have put together a Klipsch Sound package that MUST be extremely hard to turn off at night. And your sub conjecture is legitimate. In recalling K-horn ownership experiences of yesteryear, I remember being hard pressed to find a sub that had the clarity, accuracy and character that would match my K-horns... and I went through quite a few subs. As you may have read elsewhere, I picked up a Twin CS-Ultra sub and Samson 1,000 amp package from SVS... and all doubt has been erased from my home sub questions... and that's after trying them with six KLF 30's upstairs and a pair of vintage Cornwalls downstairs. These subs are so good that they have me thirsting for another set of Khorns... and that would mean moving my mother from her home of 50 years to something more suited to Khorns need for spaciousness and requisite corners. SVS, a tiny company with a big reputation for customer service, offers a 45 day money back guaranty... but I would be truly amazed if you did not find the Ultras a cut above anything else for home Khorn duty. They can handle the headroom of your current speakers like few subs can... IMHO. Of course, Ultras might get you a "BassoProfundo9911" where your BOOMER used to be. eyes Of course, with your naturally robust sound system, you might be well advised to see what emerges from the Klipsch sub sleeve in the next few months. Yes, Boomer, there is no telling how many folks wished they had your audio "problems" at this point.

J M O N Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 Jim, Your mention of weight got me to add up some numbers. I probably shouldn't have done that. I came up with 1300 pounds. That $30 for a hand-truck/dolly was one of the best $30 investments I have made. Boomer, In regards to the subwoofer. This has been a strong consideration for me, as I also plan on getting a subwoofer for my Khorns as well. As you know, matching a sub to Khorns can be a very difficult task. I know very little about it, but there is a horn subwoofer out there that may be the best match for Khorns. It's one I'll consider anyway. It the Edgarhorn Subwoofer. It's a horn sub, is very large, and it weighs in at 400 pounds. It goes down to 35 Hz. Depending on finish, you can get it for as low as $1000. It's passive, so you need to get an amp, but some of the amps they recommend are only $300 or so. It's also a very big, seems to be about the size of a refrigerator.

HornEd Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 JMON, the Esub is an interesting box... but wouldn't you want a horn sub that would be higher rated below the 35 Hz that are already available in the Khorns? I think you will find that the size horn you would need to really complement a Khorn would be a good deal larger than the Esub. If it follows most sub horn designs internally, I would expect it to be very musical... but then so are your Khorns in the area in which this sub really gets going... and then it is not all that flat in its response curve. I also had some trepidation about the dispersal system at the bottom which appears to be a series of rectangles glued together. It makes me wonder how well the curves are formed inside the unit. By the pound, it is certainly one of the least expensive subs I have seen. And as you may suspect, I have been looking for a reasonable horn sub for a long, long time. But, I think I'll pass on this particular version. HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster00 Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 Jim, I have a pair of Cornwalls that I absolutely love. I did have a chance to purchase a pair of Belles so I did. I wanted to hear the folded horn bass. As you know, the biggest difference between the Belle and the Cornwall is that the Belle is rated at ~45Hz while the Cornwall goes down to ~38Hz and the Belle is a tad more efficient. The difference to my ears is more than the Hz or dB difference though. If you haven't heard a folded horn bass give it a listen if you can. I found a pair of K-horns (being delivered tomorrow) and I am selling my Cornwalls (ONLY to make room...otherwise I would not be selling them). I would love to hear your setup with 4 Cornwalls! I can only imagine how good it must sound! ------------------ Ed W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 HornEd, I had the same concern about 35Hz. However, my main thought was to use it as the LFE in a home theater setting, and not to augment the bass of my Khorns. Since a 5.1/6.1/7.1/X.1 systems has a separate channel for a subwoofer, I wanted to use one specifically for that purpose. I wouldn't use a sub for 2-channel audio. The problem is to find one that can keep up with a Klipschorn. It's pretty tough to do if you don't have a horn sub. I don't know if 35Hz is low enough for movies, but it might work. What little I have read about this particular sub has been very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
