SpeakerHeadroom Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hi, If you have biamp connection, would you mind telling me if the LF terminals provide music power to the two woofers or just the lower woofer? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 LF=low frequency=woofer HF=high frequency=mid and tweeter past discussions resulted in the understanding that once the bridging wire is removed, circuts are seperate, to include the common ground.

SpeakerHeadroom Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Thanks for the reply. I would like to know if LF=woofers (plural) in terms of actual operation of a biamped speaker. My current floorstander LF = lower LF. So I am interested in knowing if Klipsch LF = 2 woofers in real operation terms. ** please ignore this question. My bad reading.

Whao. This response implies that the RF series of Klipsch speakers are 3-way speakers with a tweeter, mid, and woofer. Are they really 3-way? I'm 100% sure I've seen them advertised as 2-way speakers on the Klipsch website, and I was of the understanding that they were indeed 2-way with two woofers and one tweeter. Am I all wrong? audiobliss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeakerHeadroom Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 OOPS. Sorry I missed the point of the original reply. I just needed more coffee earlier this morning. Thanks to speakerfritz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I all wrong? audiobliss Apparently, the two drivers below the tweeter are not identical and that would probably explain the excellent low frequency extension of the RF series - the lowest driver is sort of like unpowered sub for one to feed the power. Klipsch owners - correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 On my 7's if you biamp,the two10's are low and the horn high,2-way,I assume the 83's are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I bi-amp, let's say 2 amplifiers of 175 watts per channel each, does this mean my 3 woofers will get 175 watts all together, and the tiny 1.25" tweeter will get 175 watts? Thanks.

The top binding post goes to the tweeter, and the bottom to the mid/woofer drivers. That's why it's common to biamp with either a less powerful amp on top or a tube amp on top along with SS on the bottom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeakerHeadroom Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Can you listen to the mid/woofer drivers in close range to see if they put out the same range of musical notes? That should tell ya if the speaks are purely 2-way type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Klipsch tech support last week if the RF towers are two way, and they are. The two (or three) bass drivers are all fed the same information, and fed by the bottom biamp terminal.
