Speaker Wire for Popular Budget System
Is this the same speaker here: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-0nLT41xyX9Y/shopsearch/klipsch_rp600m.html?XVINQ=GW2&XVVer=T44&... Well, I am not sure it's worth the trouble. The speakers are sold for 699 per pair. You may end up spending more on room treatments. |
That’s the speaker, andy2, and here is the video that started me on this journey with said speakers: https://youtu.be/0V5nZWWHh48 Today I’m smiling about this latest, 2nd pair of them that I bought (for $377 pr. last month on sale!) but, for whatever reasons, it’s taken about 3 weeks more toil, hair-pulling, and research to get them dialed in nicely than this above video-review would suggest. I am finally at the point of replacing the gratuitously thin speaker wire currently on this system with a $75-$100ish pair and calling it a success but…….whew! |
How’s the volume at your listening position? Do the amp and speakers push enough SPL’s? It seems you’ve done well renovating the interior with fiberglass and drywall. But, this will never work until you cover the storage loft space. You’re losing too much sound. Can you hang a canopy of some heavy material? Have it drape over your system level with your ceiling. |
The volume at listening position is very good, lowrider57…..Not only is it too loud for my tastes before the dial is at 11 o clock, but low level sound is as good as with any system I’ve owned. As per your description, I’m interpreting this canopy as something that could be affixed to the underside of the storage loft as a faux ceiling of sorts above the speakers?? Does stapled-up acoustic ceiling tile seem like it might be a similar option? I’d also thought of experimenting with paperless fiberglass insulation held in place w/chicken wire as the underside of the loft is very much like an uninsulated wall space albeit with varied widths between the beams. Definitely sounds interesting… |
