DwK Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Well, I have been considering buying a new pair of speakers. currently considering some KLH 9912's, since they are only 100 bucks a pair. http://www.klhaudio.com/prodfloor9912.htm I would be testing on some other speakers first if possible, but I was wondering how, if it is possible, I could replace the magnets with bigger magnets, and replace the voice coils with larger voice coils. would this make a big improvement? worth it? ------------------ 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...
JohnA Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 You'd have quite a manufacturing facility if you could replace magnets and voice coils with the precision required in a speaker. If you think they are that deficient, don't buy them. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Hear! Here! Right on John Albright... One should not write checks for speakers one's ears cannot cash... without a high-tech lab and the staff to make it so. I admire your questioning spirit, DwK, and hope you will prosper from folks like John who have already been down the road and still take time to extend a friendly hand and point the way to more productive endeavors. Remember, as John and I get older, we must face the realization that your generation will become our doctors, lawyers and engineering chiefs! Think carefully... and tell Jo-Jo a "Heresy Hi" for us.

DwK Posted August 4, 2001 Author Share Posted August 4, 2001 Thanks guyz, Its still however a good chance that I may get those KLH's. Yes they arnt the greatest, but they arnt horrible. Possibly about the same level as my Fishers. But for 100$ a pair, I think it would be kool to have them. Jo-Jo still hasnt gotten any heresys unfortionaly, and probobly wont be for awhile. If I dont get my Pro Medias back from my dad any time soon, I may get those KLH's but, even then I would need to get a Amp also. Have been looking at this sony reciever, stereo with A and B switches. 150$ But, if my uncle danny gets into town soon, my dad will get his reciever fixed, then he may still upgrade his speakers, and if he does that I will suggest to him to upgrade his Amp. Will be pointing him twards RF-3's new from Hillcrest. And maby a Pioneer Elite 2 Channel Amp. that cost 200$. But if he does that, he will be giving me his Kenwood speakers and his reciever. So then I would have 2 large floor standing Kenwoods, my floor standing Fishers each with 12" woofers I believe. and a Kenwood Reciever (100 watt per channel) front, rear and center cannels. BAH!, this is annoying. I wont a powerful system..... something descent and loud and not very expensive. aHHH!! ------------------ 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...
