soundbound Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 seti, Congratulations! You have some beautiful Klipschorns! Your attitude is wonderful. Have fun a long the process of fixing them up.

seti Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 It is hard to have a bad attitude looking at khorns : )! I got out of work early today : ) My girlfriend said she was going out with a couple friends as I'm "preoccupied"...LOL. So Dee loaned me a K77 tweeter and I installed that with a definate improvement. I ordered crossovers from Bob Crites but I couldn't wait for them to get here which will be soon.... You know how it is. I hope Rigma doesn't mind but I borrowed his rebuilt A/AA crossovers from the Beeles and installed them in the khorns. Changes so far. Lack of bass. Rewired bass bins with new wire and problem solved. Bad tweeter. Dee's Loaner took care of that problem. Sound very muddy or lack of detail. Put in temp rebuilt crossovers and now we are cooking. Klipschorns are amazing! WOW Going to listen to tunes. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Seti, congratulations! There is nothing like hearing that huge Khorn sound in your own home! Now, let the tweeking begin []. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consistent Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well done. By the way have you tweaked your little Trends 10.1 amp? I played around with the caps (took 'em out) and added some Mundorf and Hoviland. WOW what a diff a cap makes. Have fun Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian, Welcome to the wonderful world of restoration, upgrades, and modification. Lynn would be very willing to discuss the aspects of audio preoccupion with Amy.[:'(] Let me know when you want her to call.[6] Just glad that you got what you wanted. Sometimes the road to perfection can be more enjoyable than perfection itself. [] Can't wait to hear them in your dedicated audio room, a Khorn-corner room if I ever saw one. Again, congrats my buddy, tc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Ah, so this is why you wanted test tones... Congrats on the score. How long has it been since you've been looking? And what is Rigma doing with a pair of Belles?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is Rigma doing with a pair of Belles?!? Thanks DrWho but I did finally find these it just took some searching. http://www.burninwave.com/#freqsweep They came in very handy. I believe Rigma has the collect them all idea : ) If I had the money I would have kept them but I have a good khorn room now. Off and on I have been searching for a couple years before I could pull it off and found the right pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played around with the caps (took 'em out) and added some Mundorf and Hoviland. WOW what a diff a cap makes. Have fun Cheers The trends sounds better than it should but it bothers me sometimes. Perhaps I will pop some good caps in and see if that helps. Which caps did you like best? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Thanks DrWho but I did finally find these it just took some searching. http://www.burninwave.com/#freqsweep They came in very handy. Interesting. They have a file that claims a 10Hz - 30kHz sweep using a wav file recorded at 44.1kHz...For those not in the know, it is absolutely impossible for a 44.1kHz sample rate to produce frequencies above 22.05kHz. Anyone else notice the aliasing at the end of the file? It's only more ironic on a webpage touting cable burn-in [] Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consistent Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Yeah you are right. It is different. I found that the Sonicap was the best in that it gave more imagery and better tonality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read any of their propaganda I just used their files. Fortunately I do not need any tones under 30Hz. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
