jpm Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Many of you spend all your time and money trying to make your Klipsch speakers sound like cone speakers. Why bother? Wouldn't it be easier to just buy nice cones in the first place and leave the unmodified Klipsch sound to us guys that like the raw, live edge?

Colin Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Aye, tis true, he said, shaking his head sadly, the closer than any system, stats, cones or big ole horns get to truly excellent sound, usually by achieving a flat frequency response along an axial plane, the closer those systems come to sounding alike not like each other, mind you, but alike in that they sound less like themselves, less like anything really, but when you solve their problems, dynamics, colorations what have you - then they sound more like the music, more like they arent really there, just the music. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I nodded my agreement. It was true, I thought. There, he said, be a good lad, and buy us another pint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.4knee Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Who said we are trying to make our horns sound like cones? Other than you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 dunno, but you can make horns sound like cones Dean, I'm not making any changes soon and I never mentioned 3 watts I was just talking to Craig a while ago on the phone, and he said you asked him for some SET amp recommendations. I guess Craig had you confused with someone else who's confused. Easy to understand, since confusion seems to be the order of the day around here anymore.

chops Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I don't know about you, but I'm not trying to get my speakers to sound like anything. I just want to hear music, not speakers. [8-)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpm Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Dean, Craig suggested I buy a pair of his VRD's. Are those SET? I have no idea. I told him that if I went tube, it would need some real power. After a very pleasant chat on the phone, he implied that I had a pretty good set up as is. He's right, my stuff sounds real, real good. I got to thinking about this cone thing from him bringing it up. He thinks that as you guys change the guts of your speakers with mods and crap, and fool around with vinyl and tubes, you end up with very cone like sounding speakers. Hence, my original question. He's a fun guy to talk to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Can you get cones to sound like horns? My single-driver Loth-X Amaze monitors have a horn-like presence to them. But I'd rather have a pair of RB-75s instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
