Corvette6769 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I see the Max Acoustic Output is listed in the specification section for many of the Heritage line, but not for all. Does anyone know what the rated Max Acoustic Output is for the Cornwall II, Cornwall, Chorus, Forte, or Heresy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 How much they take before they melt down -- or how much before the ears start bleeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Spinner Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 well, Steve Terry can tell you ....121 dB ...... is about 1 dB too much for a cornwall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 When you have the L-88 screaming at 6800 rpm with the headers uncorked, that's acoustic power of the third kind. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvette6769 Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 While I would not call 6800 rpm exactly screaming for an L-88, I do agree that in my shop, any 12.5:1 compression big block Chevrolet engine running with open headers is a problem for most sound systems to overcome, which is part of the reason why I am looking into this.

Corvette6769 Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Still seeking rated Max Acoustic Output for the Cornwall II, Cornwall, Chorus, Forte, or Heresy. Anyone have these specifications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 You might find this helpful: it correlates SPL with wattage and speaker sensitivity. (So you find your speaker's sensitivity and then follow it over to the max power handing of the speaker and then read the SPL at that point). Going off memory... Both the Cornwall and Cornwall II run out of steam right around 120dB. The Chorus is thermally limited to a little over 120dB, but it can handle short peaks up to 130dB. I think the same goes for the Forte. And I believe the Heresy is limited to 115dB. If this is going to be a garage system, I would recommend finding yourself a pair of industrial lascalas. They've got extra power handling ability and will cut through any loud sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvette6769 Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thank you for the chart which relates to my post (last post on page one) http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/1/671159/ShowPost.aspx#671159 With the cumulative research, resources, and knowledge of everyone here, I am surprised that nobody has the Klipsch Max Acoustic Output ratings for the Cornwall II, Cornwall, Chorus, Forte, or Heresy.

DrWho Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well you can look all the specs up on the website and you'll find this: Cornwall - 121dB Chorus - 121dB Forte - 119dB Heresy - 114dB (You should notice the same output between all the I, II, and III models for the same speaker).

sunburnwilly Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 OK , This may be a stupid question but if I have my 5 Belles at their max acoustic output would it not be greater and higher than a single Belle ? Regardless of what they are rated . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Yes, you gain 3dB everytime you double the number of speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
