Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ??

Greg....what driver updates would you suggest on the 78's. I am very appreciative to get any help on upgrades....thanks

Guess who hooked up the 78's wrong ??? Yes I did....I hooked the speaker wires in the wrong place. I got them in the correct place now and the highs are much better. Yes....I am feeling pretty stupid right now. Maybe I should ban myself from Audiogon for ignorance. I think I need to attend a class on Klipsch speakers and maybe a beginners course on electronics. It took a friend of mine to show me the error of my ways. My friend works on equipment all the time and I apparently know very little about my own equipment. Okay....who votes to ban Allsmiles from Audiogon. Please don't be too cruel !!!

>>Maybe I should ban myself from Audiogon for ignorance<<

Many of us would have to resign if that were the case.

I vote to overlook your wiring faux pas, as long as you don't tell anyone that I once installed a 300B tube incorrectly. Boom boom, out goes the amp!

Next up!

Trying some different electronics from your Carver gear. I owned an all Carver system(M1.5T, C-3 preamp(?),TX-10 or 11 tuner, cassete, etc.) in college during the 80's w/ Klipsch Forte's.

System kicked ass for late-night ear blistering heavy metal sessions. I actually gave it to a former college roommate 10-15 years ago when I moved a smaller apartment and he returned it when he got divorced ~7 years ago. It all got badly damaged when my house was robbed a year later.

But, outside of etching glass, I'm not sure I would have much use for it these days. The Fortes weren't too bad when I hooked them up to a decent tube amp. A new solid cabinet and crossover rebuild probably would have made them great.

There's not a lot that can be done for the Carver stuff. But, that's just my opinion now that I'm a flea-powered SET guy. There's probably more people who would disagree with me on that than would agree.
